One of the things I liked most about Superman Returns was that it paid full homage to the original style that made it popular in the first place. If you turn it into something different than what people fell in love with, then why would they be happy to see their fond memories rudely interrupted?I was glad when I heard the moviemakers were going to get Frank Welker, the original voice for Optimus Prime, because that's the voice everybody knows and loves. If you try and re-make things differently, just for the sake of being different, then that's needlessly tampering with people's happy memories and associations. I personally would like for the original voice actor for Megatron to play him in the movie. They should try and keep the look and feel consistent with the original TV series, because that's what people fell in love with.

@sanmanThe voice of Optimus Prime is Peter Cullen. Frank Welker voiced Megatron.

Do you remember the Dolph Lundgren Masters of the Universe film? If you do and you are still looking forward to this possibility you are insane!!
