NO OFFICIAL PRESS RELEASE YET ABOUT HIS VOICE ACTING

the website Sectorseven.org had finally revealed the voice actor for Megatron, every TF fans had waited for months for the official press about this, but I guess that Frank Welker wont make a show in the movie, I just hope that the protoform version will be Hugo and the Megatron earth form will be Welker. Hugo Weaving is popular in every sci fi and fantasy audience, he acted as Agent Smith for Matrix, Elron for Lord of the Rings, and the V character for V for Vendetta.

Well, Im a little bit curious on how will they pull it off, I guess that the voice will be more different from the cartoons. check out our past post about Optimus Prime radios humans, They've enhanced the robotic voice for Optimus Prime (Peter Cullen) the sound is much more bigger than we know in the Generation 1 series. While we hope that the voice of Megatron will be more alien and evil than Welker's voice.

Operation: Hungry Dragon 2 continues. As of today, Agent H. Weaving has officially convinced S.S., M.B., R.O., AND A.K. to assign him to oversee the Megaman issue. The recording will commence immediately.

All the years of investment into Agent Weaving's public persona have finally paid off. He will monitor the campaign from the inside and report on its progress free from suspicion.

By this summer, the population will think N.B.E.S. are nothing more than a figment of someone's overactive imagination.

Our power lies in our secrecy.

Hugo Weaving first made it big with his role as Agent Smith in Warner Brother's blockbuster Matrix trilogy starring Keanu Reeves and Hugo Weaving.
