Welker not Megatron?
The Frank Welker Homepage has posted the following message from Frank himself about his involvement in the Transformers Movie
“I am not really sure what’s happening with the “Transformer” movie other than my talented friend Peter Cullen has been cast. Presently, I have not been offered any roles. They are doing a new series based on our old shows which neither Peter nor I were cast. I think Corey Burton is playing the new Megatron. He is a wonderful voice talent and a great guy, so it’s nice to be replaced by folks you like at any rate.
Happy Holidays!
