The post is from 12/8/06 but no one noticed until now it seems. The post from his official site: Are you going to do any voices in the upcoming live-action 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! Frank (12/8/2006 9:49:54 PM PST) One month after that was a rumor from IESB.net that claimed Frank Welker might be days away from signing for the roll. Obviously anything from the horse's mouth so to speak is the more reliable source but a lot could have changed in the month and half since that post. Also notice the phrase of "offered any roles" which is much different then auditioned for roles or discussed roles. In other words, the possibility is still open to him being cast. Considering the relatively small role Megatron plays in the movie, I don't see why not, but if spending $150 million to make a film and probably another $25 million plus to promote it, then I am sure there is pressure to get some A-list stars into the movie in some capacity while not costing a ton of money which voice work would fit the bill nicely. Either way, the movie opens soon, the advertising campaign has to gear up so an announcement has to come in the next few months one way or the other. ----------------------------------------+------------------------------------------------- No Transformers Trailer for the Super Bowl? Super Bowl Sunday is near and usually its the time that big bucks are spend on advertisements for upcoming summer movies. A kind of coming out party for the expensive tent-pole pictures for May, June and sometimes July. Usually the idea is tons of eyeballs to see the ads making it worth but apparently this year the studios are making the decision to use the big bucks in more careful manner instead saving it and directing it towards the various hit television shows currently running such as American Idol and Heroes (perfect for Transformers). Considering there is no proof that a Super Bowl commercial in February helps drive tickets sales in May, June and July, it could just be the studios are wising up a little. Sucks for us Transfans though hoping to catch another glimpse of some TF action.

XD Peter Cullen was Prime,. I think.. or my ears are deceiving me. Also.. Anyone like The Black Lab cover of Lion's Transformer Theme from '86?
