"Regarding Transformers the Movie 2 (2007), everyone says you're in it, even IMDb Pro: Transformers: Main Details » Frank Welker ... Megatron (voice). I'm so confused, are you or aren't you in it? I've also attached a few fan letters for you to answer when you have some free time. You're the best! Thanks!

Hey Dor ... As you can see by my responses [below], everything you've read at this point has been rumor and misinformation. As of this moment, to my knowledge, they have not cast Megatron and I am still very much in the running.

Hello, Mr. Welker!
You have done a great job voicing Megatron in the G1 Transformers series. I know that Peter Cullen is going to voice Optimus Prime in the new live-action movie. Are you going to participate in it? [snip] I would like to contact Peter Cullen. Do you know how?
Sincerely,
Omeed Mirhakkak
Dear Omeed,
Thanks, I really enjoyed doing that voice and playing a villain for a change. I know I have been asked a lot about the movie, but at the present time I have not been offered any roles. That doesn't mean it's final, they are still doing voice casting. Peter Cullen is a hard man to track down, you might try some of the "Transformer" sites and see if you can get a message to him.
Frank"

Bay keeps saying that they came in under budget, so I don't see how it would be a problem!

Besides he didn't particularly enjoy or like doing the animated movie, I doubt he'd want to do this one, even if he wasn't retired.
I hope Welker doesn't get the part, as the movie is a slap in the face to all Transformers fans, it's not even a G1 movie, so why are the bothering with Cullen and Welker?
Trying to throw the fans a bone and get them to stop boycotting it?
Good luck Bay, Jabba the Murph and Speilberg, you've made you bed, now you're going to have to lie in it...

Not to mention Slimer...now that would be an intriguing voice for Megatron.

I'll wait for confirmation from a bit more reliable source. Also your sig is quite oversized. 40kb and no larger than 300x500. I'll resize it if you're unable to.

That's not official. Anyone besides Bay&Co who says Welker is on board is jumping to conclusions. From how this movie has developed, anything that seems rational for the movie can still be chanced as 50/50 or the most common 25 right choice/75 wrong choice.
Someone's gonna attack me for saying this.*sigh, waits, considers leaving movie forum*

Thanks for the heads up. I'll change it.
