Corey Burton To Voice Megatron In Transformers: Heroes?
By bwbm on Tuesday, January 30, 2007
According to the same posting from Frank Welkers official website saying that he was not offered any role in the Transformers movie, Mr. Welker says he "thinks" Corey Burton (Justice League, Boondocks) will be playing the voice of Megatron in the upcoming "Transformers: Heroes" cartoon. Mr. Welker describes Mr. Burton as a, "wonderful voice talent and a great guy," and gives his full blessings.
Mr. Welker describes the show as, "a new series based on our old shows," and squashes any type of possiblity of Cullen and he being reunited in the cartoon. "[N]either Peter nor I were cast," comments Mr. Welker. He does not mention the cartoon by name, but he is thought to be referencing the new cartoon that is supposedly in development by Cartoon Network. This is another piece of information added to Tara Strong revealing that she will play the character of "Sari" in the upcoming show. Another rumor previously reported on is that David Kaye (Megatron from Beast Wars) will be playing Optimus Prime.

"a new series based on our old shows"
...Please be true, please be true, please be true...
I think it'd be nice to use the 'real' character designs from the Classics line. What I mean by 'real' is all the characters derived from G1 (not the stupid minicon wastes).

I hope its true, at least some connection to the original and Corey is a great VA.

Thats pretty cool, the voice of G1 Shockwave will be Megatron. Not bad.

I thought Kaye himself confirmed the role as Megatron already?
Hmph...the internet these days.
