In all fairness to Michael Bay, OK, the Transformers didn't suck. Was actually pretty awesome. One thing that stood out, though, was Megatron. Prime got to keep his old, 80s self, so why did Megatron have to get all changed up? Maybe this is why. Guess we're twenty years on, and even the voice of the mighty Megatron has to get a little older and a little croakier. Still. Niggles aside, it is nice to hear that voice again. Like the return of an old friend. A gigantic, old, murderous, robotic friend.
