The first official sneak peak of Transformers: Prime!

Dear Megatron,

Targeting computers are not that expensive. Buy some and get them installed in your goons. Do this soon, please, as you're currently making Imperial Stormtroopers look like marksmen.

Thanks.

Now THAT'S funny.

Scroll down and see who's voicing Megatron.

Only for the 1986 film could he afford good ones...too bad he bought them at best buy so they burnt out quickly.

I have to admit, whenever I see Optimus Prime with a mouth, I get an urge to giggle.

I know it's just a personal viewpoint thing and from being used to the older designs, but I can't help it. It always strikes me as slightly comical.


That's not casting any judgements on the actual quality of the series; I'll save that until it's out. The animation looked just fine to me and it at least looks to be pretty action heavy. And hey, Arcee's in it! Get Black Arachnia in there and it'll probably be the most estrogen any Transformers series has had, ever.

Couple shows have had two female characters in it. Animated so far has the highest fembot count. Elita-1 /blackarachnia(a two for one shot.), Arcee, slipstream, strika, first aid and one last one I wont mention if you haven't watched the entire series. (might been few others in the background I missed.)

I'm sorta a sidelines fan of Transformers, so..... yeah.


Nice to know they're working more of 'em in there. Now they just need some multi-national robots and the obligatory handicapped one (robot in a wheelchair?) and the Politically Correct Transformers will be complete.

It needs to turn into a wheelchair.

Prime and WFC story is connected actually. WFC and the story exodus are supposed serve as the basis for next couples series/toylines to come. Whether the art direction changes is another story but they are working off the same background and try connect as much as possible. Thats the intent atm anyways.


As for voices of Megatron, I prefer Fred Tatasciore over Frank Welker's current voice. He's gotten older and his Megatron gotten a bit too raspy and high pitched for when he voiced the movie games. He definitely sounds different than his original voice back in the 80s as Megatron. I don't hate it, but he just seems out of place with the rest of the cast having such deeper voices. Frank Welker is an amazing voice actor, just I prefer both Weaving or Fred over him as Megatron as of now. WFC megatron felt like a nice mixture of the smoothness of Beast wars megatron(Yesss!) and the aggressiveness of Movie Megatron. It made him both powerful but charismatic. It really worked for me.

May be Welkers voice for Megatron will sound better than his 3 most current takes on the character.(transformers beginnings, both movies games...and This!) I read something that he will try for a wider range so he might prove he's still best man to be Megatron. Just as of now he's not my first choice.

I still hope he finds plenty of work as I didn't mind him as sound wave one bit. (his classic Doctor Claw voice.) I really like the guy as the Interviews of him and Peter Cullen Working together on the transformers games was awesome. The two seem like such great friends, as you could tell they really like working together. Admittedly there's alot of nostaglia with it all. So I can see why people want that to happen again.
