Ninjaburn has brought to our attention a new Transformers Movie clip that has surfaced: Shia Lebeouf appeared on David Letterman Friday night, June 29th, with another new clip for the Transformers movie. This one is the full scene of Sam and Megatron on the roof of a building, and there is full dialog between Megatron and Sam, letting us hear famed actor Hugo Weaving as the newest voice behind the Decepticon leader.


You can see the clip on Youtube here, but be warned, it contains spoilers and should not be viewed by anyone who does not want to see too much of the film's climactic sequences.

Hah, I saw that clip this morning.

Weaving is AMAZING as Megatron. Whoever was worried about it before... put your worries to rest. Seriously.

AHH. I get to see it on the 2nd, but it can't come soon enough! *flails*

Like i said with the right voice effect anyone can sound like megatron. It did sound like a deeper Welker. Not bad. But i still hate how Megatron looks. For an alien robot it looks good but for Megatron i dont like it. To organic looking. Cant wait untill monday night.

Yeah Weaving did a good job as Megs, but so could Welker. That voice is sooooooooooo electronically altered it could have mu Aunt Rosie!

I have to agree.

I still prefer Welker's old grizzled ancient alien war general voice in the game more though.

But at least it does not suck like I thought it would.

I've got my tickets, have you got yours?

wow his voice is awesome....i never thought Weaving could pull it off but he did.....i understand why Bay chose Weaving over Frank now.....his voice is absolutely terrifying..fits Megs perfectly

I have come to love everything else about the movie, but that voice just doesn't "wow" me. Hopefully the voice will stand out in other scenes. It that one it was really boring. Anyone could've done that voice! It didn't even sound like Weaving! So freakin' lame.

Let's petition to have Frank Welker do the voice-over for the DVD!

Not hating on Weaving, cuz it did sound pretty good....but didn't he sound a little like Dr. Claw from Inspector Gadget? ROFL!

Can't wait to see it Tuesday after work!

I am glad that those spike-y teeth things :grin: on Megatron's mouth disappear ( :) at least partially) when he talks.

I am now convinced that Megatron is my very favorite of all transformers.

I am amazed at how many people actually like what has happened to poor old Megs how anyone can think this generic pantomime villain is preferable to the sterling work Welker did in developing the voice over the years is beyond me.

Nothing against weaving, b/c he does sound good, but we are to believe that Welker couldn't have done 'AS WELL'? Possibly better?

Meh, whatever. I'm against ALOT of elements of this film, but I'm going to see it. Likely twice.

I'll probably love it too.

"Over the Years?" He did Megatron for TWO. Then he did a crappy Galvatron for another two before the show got canceled.

Jumping the Shark just after the second season is not a good sign.

Weaving is ok as Megatron. I still dont understand why Frank Welker couldnt have done it? Welker fit the part great in the game.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dXmtNFpMwew&NR=1

His voice is perfect for this design, it suits him. The facial features and movement are awesome! I wish people would stop putting clips of the movie up already. Cant we see some of the film in the theater?

Oh dear Lord. I was soooooooooooo wrong abou not Weavign voicing Megatron. He is now my favorite Megatro voice after Welker of course. These days are killing me!
Re: Megatron Speaks on the Late Show with David Letterman *Spoilers* (192133)
Posted by Gauge Lock on June 30th, 2007 @ 5:07pm CDT
Dammit, why did I have to see this clip? I knew it said spoiler, but I of course had to look.

Wow. I really am surprised how Hugo Weaving turned out. That is one seriously menacing voice.

Now when I first think Weaving, I tend to think of a more proper gent he plays like Agent Smith or Elrond. But good lord, this just blew me away. I really was not expecting any of that at all! He has officially chewed the scenery...or at least smashed it to bits with that mace of his.

As for Sam, he may not sound as great though, but what do more do you want from him? This scene has a veteran actor and a kid actor; the comparsion is as unfair as....oh i don't know, a giant killer robot from another planet versus some teen? I wish some people would lay off the guy already. Besides, even if he may not be the best or most experienced actor on set, thats not gonna kill the movie. I am pretty sure you will probably be more "distracted by killer robots" than paying attention to Shia LeBoeuf attempting to sound dramatic.

I guess its just a Hollywood effects thing. Kinda like when a
car flies off a cliff, lands and creates a huge mushroom cloud explosion,,,, we all know a four door sedan doesn't carry that much fuel. Or when some poor hack gets shot with a shotgun, he then goes flying back 20 feet from the impact... I've seen the mythbusters take on that one. totally busted.. :-P

Posted by Ravage XK on July 1st, 2007 @ 2:26am CDT
Megs voice does sound good but its a generic baddy voice. Why couldnt we have had the metalic scratchy voice of Welker? I think it would have really worked. Oh well, at least he is in the game. Perhaps the movie makers will see the error of their ways and use him for Megatrons 2nd incarnation in the next film.

Posted by CInemastique on July 1st, 2007 @ 3:29am CDT
I always think it's hilarious when a voice actor is cast, and people assume they'll sound like a previous role. I mean, when Weaving was cast, all I heard was "Oh no, not Agent Smith!" Weaving did a great voice for Smith, also not his own voice. He is obviously a very talented voicer.

Let us not forget, Optimus Prime is voiced by the fella who plays Eeyore.;) That's the acting part.

Oh man, the movie's ruined for me now! I didn't expect Megatron to be unfrozen! Crap...

Man, Hugo's got a scary Megs voice. I dig it.
Re: Megatron Speaks on the Late Show with David Letterman *Spoilers* (194177)
Posted by MADAM_MEGS on July 2nd, 2007 @ 1:52am CDT
I saw it.
[spoiler] Yeah. I also love Megs while Peter's voice was soo gentleman like Prime's character. ;;)

I think Megs look very cool in film,I forget his urgly design and Hugo impressed me. He could capture the voice emotion to this Megs character for me.

When megs kill Jazz, I feel his sound along that line very insane and enjoy killing with his ruthless but the scene just very fast move.

I like when Megs say "Disgusting" and flick one man off him, this was give me an evil laughing, He was so BADASS. ;;)

I didn't feel megs is so much scary but his character in film like he was tricky, despite and hunger. (it was just too short screen time for most of the Decepticons)

Just want to see more of Megs with Starscream and Megs with Prime [spoiler]
