Voice doesn't mean much characterization wise tho, I mean, just look at all the Megatron's Kaye voiced that weren't the Beast Wars one.

 

That's a good point. Armada Meg didn't quite have the same charisma as BW Meg. I'd say the same goes for Garry Chalk with Prinal vs any of the Unicron trilogy Primes.

Although I would hope that doesn't turn out to be the case for Cullen and Welker on TFP.

 

Not I, grandpa.  

 

I'd say it'll be more like watching the movie games again, 'cause I don't remember Prime sounding that gruff and world weary back in '1984. Or Frank Welker that hoarse  

 

Nah it would only be the movie games if we couldn't understand what Soundwave and Starscream were saying.

 

Clearly you havne't heard Welkers new take on his Megatron voice. It's a lot better then what he was doing for the movie games.
Plus G1 Meg always sounded a little hoarse, anyway.

And Cullen's Prime does sound a tad "gruffer" then it use to, but freakly it works for this version of Prime, whose seen a lot of war. Also, the man's aged since 84, of course it's going to sound a little different.

 

You just can't see any comment I make as a light-hearted jab, can you?  

Lighten up, man. Shroob gets it.

 

there is a flaw with your statement, there is no characterization in the movie  I kid I kid.

well, I guess they could find a new line for him to scream RETREAT!!
I dunno.

 

Excuse me, I was clearly out of line.
