So true, so true. I love everything about G1, my favorite cartoon ever! I so want Welker to be Megatron. Nothing against Weaving, I think he'd do a decent job. But casting Cullen (thank you, thank you, thank you) and not casting Welker as well is just so wrong. And why the heck didn't they audition David Kaye?

IGN.com reported that Keith David (The Chronicles of Riddick) will voice the Decepticon police cruiser Barricade in the Michael Bay-directed Transformers film.

I heard that and it made me giddier than the Hugo Weaving announcement. Kieth David has the COOLEST voice ever. It's the very defination of "bad mutha f***a!"

Also rumor that Welker will voice *a* Transformers. Dunno who or even how legit that is.

90% chance he winds up voicing Scorponok and just doing growls and grunts.

A new leaked TV spot featuring, among other things, Cullen speaking as Optimus Prime as well as Optimus Prime's...lips?

GOLIATH!!! Sorry, I've been watching a lot of Gargoyles recently. keith David is up there with Welker, though Welker has more range, David has "that voice." I mean those Navy commercials are great because he does the voice over.

Also, for all you Welker-lovers, he has been cast as Megatron for the PS2 Transformers tie-in video game. Cullen will also be voicing Prime in the game, so you'll get your big reunion there.

Christ, that trailer was crap. Prime's lips moved like a guppi, I've already seen Starscream Primal's monkey flips on a dosen avatars, and the acting sounds half-assed and near self-parody from the Naval commander.

Micheal Bay's Bionicle fails to impress yet again.

The lips look really stupid. I thought the whole reason for the mechanical faces was to avoid stuff like that?

I present to you proof that Prime has always had lips, terrifying though they may be...

The new Transformers series promotional poster carries a new logo and the annoucement of a 90-minute pilot movie (much like Armada had)

As you can see, it's no longer called "Heroes"

I think that sums it up best.
