Frank Welker Megatron Voice Comparison

The voice of Transformers Megatron, Frank Welker compares the different versions of his character over the years.

[@Ricky-on3vn]

I love how his normal voice is just Fred.

[@Iffy]

And Ray from Ghostbusters

[@agentzurg3592]

And Nibbler from Futurama

I was going to post this now. He sounds like Fred is doing an interview.

Fred who?

The sad part is that the trump joke killed it. However, I still enjoy him I wish he was the voice actor in the 2007 movie instead of Hugo Weaving.

[@banymany7444]

Frank: 4 megatron voices... Peter: 1 voice forever...

[@Romulux229]

Well, what other Optimus Prime voice can he do?

[@Wyndamn]

One voice shall stand......one voice shall fall.

[@ItzJcey]

he also does ironhide

[@JPproductions303]

His voice in the new movies is more deeper than his g1 appearance

[@brawng1865]

*Oof!* Peter Cullen is gonna have to almost break his throat if he was asked to do a G1 Optimus Prime screaming at 1 of the 6 robotic humans in 1 of the scenes in Five Nights in the Auto-Con Factory...

[@theirishambassador]

You can tell he loves playing the voices of his characters. He’s the only VO who has been consistent throughout nearly every incarnation of Scooby Doo.

[@lumpylumpyloo]

Actually the original voice actor of Toby from scooby Doo still does the voice

[@SensiofRabbitude]

He even went as far as to voice Fred in a family guy cutaway Scooby Doo parody I believe.

[@Unownshipper]

50 years! The man has played the role in one form or another for MORE THAN 50 YEARS!! What a legend!!!

[@chrisedwards3214]

Frank played Fred and Megatron in robot chicken

[@maxav1wolvman874]

And as “Fred’s dad” in Velma unfortunately

[@CJH-2001]

Frank Welker, is the best Megatron, and his Galvatron wow !! it's hard to believe he also does Fred from Scooby Doo

[@neptuneflower9156]

And Scooby Doo too

[@Robodragon17]

And scooby doo himself

Frank and Peter are such great VAs, making voices that are that recogniseable, even after nearly 40 years ain't easy to do.

[@greentwo6845]

This is the first time I've heard Frank Welker's normal voice. He always sounds like Fred Jones. Phenomenal

[@kristaduguay8480]

I just hear Fred talking😂

[@zemro1986]

I can't stop thinking of all the other things he voiced! Freddy and Scooby - Scooby Doo Slimer - Ghostbusters (cartoon) Baby Kermit - Muppet Babies One of the smurfs and the cat in the live action movie Characters in G.I.Joe The night guard in Pinky and the Brain Odin in an animated Avengers tv show Rumble- Transformers G1 Soundwave (almost put Shockwave 😂) - Transformers G1 Rajah, Abu, and that lion sand thing -Aladdin A robot in GOBOTS George - Curious George Garfield- The Garfield Show A Gremlin The Tyrannosaurus in The Land Before Time Somehow, the dog in The Little Mermaid An alien in Mars Attacks! The dog is Pacman Iceman - Spiderman and His Amazing Friends Obviously Megatron and Galvatron And many more... But how many freaking animals has this guy voiced, jeez.

[@LooneyCartoonMan]

Well that is because he is the main voice actor for Fred Jones from the Scooby-Doo franchise

[@kristaduguay8480]

[@CRocketSlim]

It's hilarious how much Welker's normal speaking voice sounds like how he used to voice Ray Stantz as well as Fred from Scooby Doo

[@megathot3734]

With all the animation and voice acting errors in the G1, I could imagine Galvatron, screaming "I AM MEGATRON" at the top of his lungs

Frank Welker seems like such a sweet guy with such a beautifully menacing range, he's such an inspiration for for wanting to do voice over!

[@xoruk7451]

His Galvatron sounds beastly, definitely my favorite

[@thelavenderhatter5924]

I like Prime Megatron the most, it’s a balance between G1 and the Last Knight/Age of Extinction

[@W0LV1E45]

Season 1 and 2 is the best. Season 3 voice got very deep (exactly like Frank megatron in tf4 and tf5).

[@pr0jekt_0n3_5]

Omg that’s so true

[@zemro1986]

WHY DID THEY END TFP?! WHY?!

[@LarryMoonlink3892]

Is it weird enough for a live action Transformers character to have a child with a G1 Transformers character? I mean here's an example of a live action transformers character and a G1 transformers character having a child or more: Quintessa and Alpha Trion had 5 children, 3 sons and 2 daughters. Optimus Sun Aria Prime looks like TFP Optimus Prime but with Lavender Hair and tail(his tail is the same material as his hair so don't call him a pony with hands now cause he will go Decepticonic on you and possibly end your life.) And human features and behaviors and purple feathery wings which would confuse people into thinking that TFP Optimus Prime had took Twilight Sparkle's wings and glued them to his back.. but Orion Pax's wings are like feathery as a real life bird's feathery wings. Orion Pax is the nickname of Optimus Sun Aria Prime. But also Orion Pax has magical powers but the magical effect when he uses his magical powers appears purple. Optimus Sun Aria Prime is the 3rd son of Alpha Trion and Quintessa..

[@aeop]

@@zemro1986 good stuff end, it is a satisfactory ending

[@gutz1981]

What is amazing to me is that Frank's Megatron has slightly changed over the years, those some of his other more deeper voices like Soundwave and his classic Dr Claw (Same voice style but with a vocoder added to Soundwave) is still the same. Wonder if he notices the change or he might not be doing it as he remembers it being.

[@paulheap1982]

Well, it's to do with as you get older your voice deepens.

[@acoote1701]

Also if you watch The Last Knight, Megatron's CGI Face Sculpt and Frank Welker's face are exactly the same, I.e. they based Megatron's face off his own. Watching this clip after watching TLK recently (again) I can see it now better, especially when Welker speaks as Megatron

[@puffpuffpassmako]

I'm pretty sure he deepens his Megatron voice now so it fits his more "modern" appearance. I actually prefer his new version as it actually sounds scary.

[@LarryMoonlink3892]

@Paladin JN01 I am pretty sure that 1 day, Frank Welker and Hugo Weaving will get into a fight over who is the best Megatron and the fight being a serious battle moment. Yeah... imagine 2007 Megatron fighting 2017 Megatron...

[@wolf11]

Him and Peter Cullen are probably two of the nicest guys they say you'll ever meet these are the actors I admire the most because they really love the fans and what they do is not very easy at all so these are the people that I admire

I love this guy. Hurts to see his Megatron isn't the same as it was, but everyone's voice changes with use and time. But loved his performances In everything he's done. You can hear a little of his Megatron at the start of season three when Cyclones finds him in the liquid plasma and he starts going off. "Did I ask for deliverance? DID I!!???"

[@TheBanishedWind]

To be fair his OG Megatron voice was murder on his voice, while his new Megatron voice (from TF Prime onward) is easier on him.

[@amitypredator9385]

@@TheBanishedWind I can believe that. I can kind of imitate OG megatron in short spurts, and it isn't easy on the throat. I certainly wouldn't want him to hurt himself trying to do that voice these days.

Welker can't do his original G1 megs anymore.. it had more rasp to it back in the day, and no, it wasnt mroe vocal processing that did it, it was welker. my favorite iteration of Megs is Transformers Prime by far, because it most closely matches megs voice at its best, which is Transformers the Movie, where Welker gave by far the best acting performance of his entire career

[@D2Kprime]

I'm in the small minority of people that didn't care for his G1 Galvatron voice that much. It sounded too much like 'Slick The Wolf' from the Filmation _Tom and Jerry_ cartoons. Didn't really sound like Nimoy. I was a much bigger fan of his _TF: Prime_ Megatron voice. It was much deeper, more sinister, but still had a hint of G1 in there to pluck the nostalgia cords. I think behind G1 Megatron that is the best voice of any incarnation of him.

[@angiev.5132]

I 100% agree! His TF: Prime voice sounded really similar to G1 and it was magic!

[@sunzuz8153]
