Megatron also turned into the dragon in the Transformers Andromeda series. You're right about the guy who did the voice, he's probably really old if he's still alive. I grew up in the 80's when Generation one came on television so it's hard for me to imagine some other voice for Optimus Prime. You obviously know way more about the the series and the different versions than i do. Either way, i will definitely see this film in the theaters. I'm glad to hear that they're sticking to the version i remember as a kid.

thanks

KITT
 

speaking of shows i grew up with as a kid, has anyone else noticed that the guy who played Mr Feeney on 'Boy Meets World' was the guy who did the voice of KITT on KnightRider?

I noticed it one day when i was watching 'Boy Meets World' i was like wow that guys voice sounds familiar where have i heard that before?, and then it hit me HOLY SHIT it's KITT!

Well I don't know everything, I forgot that in the Armada line Megatron was a dragon, wasn't it when he became Galvatron though? I'm not sure I watched the anime stuff every now and then I don't really like it that well. I also grew-up in the 80's, and my 3 favorite shows were GI Joe, Ghostbusters, and Transformers. I wish i would have kept all of my toys, I bet they would be worth something now. I've stared trying to pick-up the Rhino DVD's of Generation One, but since Rhino lost the rights I've had to search at eBay.

For those of us who would like to hear the original voices, the writers talk about this topic.

Re: KITT
 

Just showing my age, I was surprised the guy from St Elsewhere did the voice of KITT (Same actor as Mr Feeney).

As for Optimus Prime, I would swear I heard that voice in a car commercial not too long ago. Voice Over talent can work for a long time. Professional voice talent takes a long time before you can determine age, believe me.

The new transformers may look like this

or maybe not! :)

That looks preety good but I think that they will improve on it because the robot itself looked too skinny compared to the Transformers.

trailer out??
 

hope theres a trailer (pun intended) out for it :cool:

Re: trailer out??
 

The movie won't be out till '07 so we probably won't see a trailer for awhile.
