I Like Weaving. He should come back in the 4th film. If not, Maybe someone should voice and Impersonate him.

 

Re-imagined could mean almost anything so that puts some chance at Megatron and perhaps a new voice actor.

All the previous voice actors who have done Megatron are good choices since they all were able to bring something really good to the character.

Thinking outside of the usual suspects I'd like to thrown in a name like Jonathan Groff since his Master Rhino from Kung Fu Panda 2 might make for a good Megatron voice if they were going for something a bit different but still sounded like a big character.

 

Can't believe no one suggested this, but Corey Burton.

Or is he too cartoony?

 

David Kaye, he needs to voice all the Megatrons.

 

I don't think he's too cartoony. Using his TFA Megatron voice would add a cold and calculating feel to the dismembered head that his Megatron.  

And as Ash pointed out, "re-imagining" could mean so many different things and how it pertains to characters, so really... who knows? It all sort of depends on what they'd do with the character, if he were in it.

 

Even with Megatron that can mean so many different things you almost never know what the new Megatron will be like. Which isn't a bad thing because we've got plenty of interesting takes on the character over the years.

 

After Weaving.....Weaving. After that Weaving, Kaye

 

See, and that's something I love about "Megatron" in the franchise.   Optimus always seems to have certain parameters that he fits in (both design and personality/characteristics) and that's what makes him the identifiable, classic character. There's always a certain constant with him. But Megatron? His parameters? His only constant is change (moreso design wise than in terms of how he's characterized). Just look at G1 to BW to RID to Cybertron to the movies. Yes, he's always the tyrannical leader of the Decepticons (or Predacons), but there's always something different. More monstrous, more cold and calculating, more crazy, etc.. Optimus' design doesn't vary very much, but Megatron's is all over the place. None of those above-mentioned designs have anything to do with each other (or at least, very little). Yeah G1, Animated, WFC/FOC and TFP's design are obviously linked, but those are blatant homages and references.

That's something that I enjoy about every new Transformers series; what Megatron's gonna be like.  

 

weaving do voice of tryicon or metroplex

It seems that fictional villains always have more freedom for creators to work with than the heroes.

Take the Batman cartoons. In the Batman cartoons Batman has a fairly narrow and strict set of parameters he must fall into. Joker on the other hand has only a few restrictions. So the Joker can be like he was in Batman the Animated Series, or The Batman, or even Batman the Brave and the Bold without feeling out of place.

People tend to expect certain things out of their heroes but the villains tend to be more of anything goes because part of being a villain is either not having rules or having a set of rules that don't fit with the normal rules.

 

No.

I nominate Kevin Spacey  

 

there is that saying, the devil can take many forms

 

I think he's better suited for Galvatron.

 

Weaving's son. I think all BayFormer movie voice roles should now be hereditary and the right to perform them passed down through the family bloodline.

Seriously though, I always say Welker. I don't even care if he'd fit the live-action movie style anymore. He's just my go-to answer.

  I was never sure if anyone ever notices I write it like that and/or just assumes it's a spelling mistake.

 

Frank Welker.

 

See, I used to be one of those "Frank's voice wouldn't fit"-people when I imagined his G1 voice with the movieverse designs. But that's just it. Myself and a lot of people were assuming that he'd automatically use his G1 voice exactly as we imagined it. No change. "I would've waited an eternity for this!" and "We attack at sunrise!" just plunked on a Bay-directed VFX/action sequence, and we didn't really like what came to mind. But that was a mistake. Nothing said that he'd use his G1 voice. Why would we have assumed that? After hearing his TFP voice I thought, "Hmm, I guess that would work in the movies." And then seeing the Transformers 3D Ride previews with Bayformers Megatron and a deepened Welker TFP voice, I thought "DANG! That would work so well!"

But as much as I love Frank as a VA and I love his TFP Megatron voice, I'd like some other people to get a whack at voicing Megatron. Most obviously CLANCY MOTHERF**KING BROWN. </Autovolt>

You.

Die.

NOW.


In seriousness, I'd like to hear - not necessarily as the movie franchise's Megatron - another British voice for the role. Corey Burton had an awesome voice for Megatron, and a unique one.

Burton aside, though, I've lately been harboring the concept of these actors as Megatron:

Anthony Stewart Head - Rupert Giles in Buffy is probably his best-known role, but he showed off his inner bad guy in Doctor Who as Mr. Finch in "School Reunion"

Sir Patrick Stewart - If you haven't seen him as Jean-Luc Picard in The Next Generation, you are not human; the man can really deliver as a Shakespearean actor, as he displayed playing King Claudius (and the ghost of King Hamlet) in BBC's recent rendition of Hamlet - also, he's a KNIGHT

Timothy Dalton - he's known as Bond - James Bond, but is also another Doctor Who villain: Rassilon, mad Time Lord president
