Mar 26 2007Weaving and David Added to Transformers
The tricky thing about Transformers is that they are, as their tagline proclaims, more than meets the eye. With most of these characters, you'd swear they're just a normal car, a normal jet, a normal enormous cassette player, a normal robot dinosaur, and so on, but then a few seconds later you're looking at a big robot from space, and you're like, "Where did that come from?!"
Now it seems these robots are hiding yet another surprise: celebrity voices! According to AICN, Michael Bay's Transformers will feature the voice of Hugo Weaving (The Matrix, Lord of the Rings) as Megatron and Keith David (The Thing, voice of main gargoyle in Gargoyles) as Barricade.

By the end of the movie, Megatron will bring to light that Optimus has "helped" his land-lady carry out her garbage, used his healing powers to bring a halfling back from the brink of death....only to destroy him with a mighty robot heel of Cybertronian doom, and dress up in a black costume with a white Guy Fawkes mask, combat the Autobots, and claim it was all in the name of "Freedom. Forever."

Voilą! In view, a humble vaudevillian vehicle, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of Vector Sigma. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is a vestige of the dmV, now vacant, vanished. However, this valorous visitation of a by-gone vexation, stands vivified and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin van-guarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition.
The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta, held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous.
Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose, so let me simply add that it's my very good honor to meet you and you may call me Megatron.
