Frank Welker's Voice as Megatron

He can't quite do the original voice anymore. In the video games, where he attempted to, he just made Megatron sound like some whiny old man with throat cancer.


I vastly, vastly prefer his new take.

It is over 25 years since the original I think he's doing a great job and it's one of my favorite parts of Transformers Prime having him and Peter Cullen back.

When he screams, it's the closest to the original Megatron voice.

There's a video on YouTube where he explains why he's "brought the voice down" for this incarnation of the character.

Megatron sounds a lot smarter, darker, more cunning and malevolent in Prime. This is actually my favorite version of the character.

"Fate rarely calls upon us at a moment of our choosing."

I prefer the current version; it makes the character a more dangerous version of the mastermind we saw in Beast Wars.

We are eagles of one nest, The nest is in our soul

I quite like this iteration of the character. He's a lot more serious and quietly dangerous edge to him.

you do understand frank welker is now 66 years old?

Yeah I loved the 80's voice a lot better then the new one, not saying the new voice isn't pretty cool I just loved the 80's Megatron overall. Michael Bay needs to stay away from any movie franchise that isn't an original. He should only be allowed to direct new concepts so we can't see him ruin anything anymore. If they reboot it again it would be great to see no Bay and have Frank come back to do Megatron and I'd like to see Soundwave with his computerized voice again.
