    When you think of Megatron, you think of Frank... it's as simple as that... personally, I think Activision scored Welker and Cullen for the game because they know about Travellers' Tales shoddy track record.... they needed SOMETHING to keep our interest in it...

    Depending on how you look at it, the MOVIE has G1-based characters (regardless of what exactly they look like), so there ya go. :)

    I'm pretty sure that it was already confirmed, along with Kaye.

    Every time I think of Shockwave nowadays, I have to quote Shockwave's Burden. Hilarity.

    Doubtful, but possible. Hasbro's all about the "archetypical legendary heroes" thing so it would be strange from them to break from their history.

    And why do I get the feeling that people are still pissed that Tom Kenny is voicing Starscream? C'mon guys, give it a break. These are voice actors after all and I'd venture a guess that they'd have more than one voice in their repertoire. A lot of the complaints from people sound like all they will hear is Spongebob coming from Starscream's mouth. I think you guys are trying to hard to be negative.

    On Topic: I love Burton's Brainiac. He should make a fantastic Megatron.

    Awesome link. I had no idea about the youTube clips. Good stuff.

    Personally, I'm bummed that there are going to be three different Megatron voices in three different media formats in such a close proximity to each other.

    If ya gotta have three different voices for Megs though, it is awesome that they got three kickass VAs to do the job :thumb

    Right now I'm LESS interested in the VA's for the series and MORE interested in the actual look/design of the characters themselves. Hopefully at BotCon Hasbro will be able to show us what the characters will look like

    Can anyone clear up for certain whether or not Heroes and TF: Animated are the same series? I remember the Hasbro guys at BotCon saying that Heroes likely would just be a place-holder.

    And on topic, I remember this rumor showing up a while back and am very pleased. Burton is a great actor. He was Shockwave after all, so it's not like he can't do a badass Decepticon.

    Maybe Hugo will impress you so much you'll realise it was a good idea not to go with Frank. We'll have to see!
