Frank Welker returned as the voice of Megatron and Soundwave on last nights new episode of Robot Chicken. Soundwave finds out that being a cassette player in the 2000's isn't a very good disguise. He ends up in a very unlikely place that only Movie Optimus Prime or G1 Shockwave would think to look: Ebay!

Beat you to the punch, FB. :wink:

Though to be fair, I didn't get the video. (Someone else got it from YouTube, in the same thread.)

Too bad they didn't get Soundwave's voice correct.

That was great! Robot Chicken FTMFW.
EDIT:
If you can't get the video to load, just hit refresh and click on the first thumbnail (the TVMA one, I think). Eventually it'll work. It was giving me crap, too.

That was great. So sad that they killed rumble (or frenzy depending on how you see it). If they got Soundwaves voice effect right that would have been the best video ever. They should make a hole Robot Chicken episode just for Transformers. Like they did with Star Wars.

Dudes, killing Rumble is like killing Prime in the old movie. wahhhhhhhhhhh! :sad:

Still great to see the man back in action.
By the man I mean Frank.

Shockwave was the best in that clip. Notice that it was reissue Soundwave?

Soundwave sounded awhole lot like his Dr. CLaw voice.

Yeah, Soundwave's voice was more raw. Shockwave was perfect. Not as scratchy as he used to be, but they got his whine down perfect. Megatron was excellent. Hats off to Welker on that. I also enjoyed the zombie bit at the beginning.

Shockwave was actually voiced by Seth Green, rather than getting Corey Burton to come back. But he did great anyway.

Bwah ha ha ha!!

That's is rediculously funny. Shockwave was down perfect considering he wasn't teh original.

And for those who think Soundwave sounds like his dr Claw voice, he did in the series when his voice wasnt modulated. There's at least 2 instances I can think of when they forgot to do his voice and he sounds exactly like dr Claw. So it is the original Soundwave voice. YEY!!

It was also funny that they brought the "Gyro-robo" geek back in the skit immediately after that one.

Mom: I think it's time for a commercial.
Gyro-robo: No it's not!
Mom: I made snickerdoodles
Gyro-robo: We'll be back after this commercial break!

:lol:

I've been watching my G1 DVDs lately and yo, this new animated series id trying to say G1 megs was a whimp since he was always betten.

All I can say is WHAT THE F___!!!! LISTEN TO HOW THE MAN DID THIS VOICE AND TELL ME THAT ISN"T EVIL INCARNATE!!!

And the writing, frig, in "Roll for it" when he tries to explain to Spike how the Space Bridge works...

I'd YouTube it but I have no sound on this computer which would make it hard to tell if I got the right spot, but I know one of yoyu guys can so DO IT, DO IT NOW!

"...and you will be riding on a beam of light..."

figgin amazing, I think before these new animated loosers start talking about Welker's talents and calling his character week, they should A, look at their own product, and B, stop getting him confused with Cobra Commander.

G1 Megatron was many things, but comic relief does not fall in that line up!

Hell, G1 Megs is one of the things that got me into EVIL in the first place!

I love how Shockwave's "ears" go down and then perk up like a dog.

That whole skit is just classic.

I thought it was cool to see another Transformers segment on Robot Chicken but I thought Frank Welker's voice is really showing his age. I thought that his Megatron sounded really weak.
Re: Frank Welker returns as Megatron and Soundwave on Robot Chicken! (281875)

now all they need to do is have frank and peter do there roles on robot chicken it would be great.

Posted by lockepsb on August 13th, 2007 @ 11:32pm CDT
well at least someone out there is willing to cast Frank as Megatron... like Activision & the Director of Robot Chicken.

XD Omg, an elevator? I can just see it now, Sam and Mikalea running into an elevator to get up to the top floor when it stops and and Soundwave's voice echoes in the small compartment. DUN DUN DUUUN. As the scary 80's elevator music plays in the background...
