Money, violence, sex, computer graphics, scatalogical humor, racism, robots designed to be rednecks but given European accents, and maybe another sequel to the saga... what's not to love? TF m1, Revenge of the Fallen, Dark of the Moon and now Age of Extinction.

Plus I just don't think the guy's a voice actor, and for me, Transformers was always the best platform for some of the industry's best *voice actors*, not just famous-guy-cameos. But hey, at least Billy Crystal, Anna Paquin and Patrick Stewart aren't in it.
BOOO GOMESS NEVER LIKES STUFF
For me,Welker did a better season 3 1986 Galvatron voice than Leonard nimoy did for galvatron in the 1986 movie.
Welker's season 3 1986 Galvatron voice had personality to it,sounded like megatron was still in their & was just very unique sounding.
I found leonard nimoy's Movie Galvatron voice to be extremly Generic,void of persona,non-unique sounding. booring & stale.

I can only assume he suddenly changed his mind, or truly believes that while Nimoy is a poor voice actor, his mere presence on this project will elevate the quality of the script and direction.

I've heard from a reliable source (the only person I know who loves Leonard Nimoy enough to track down interviews with him or whatever) that he phoned in the whole performance. Not literally, but y'know. He apparently didn't care at all. It shows, I think.
Honestly, I won't be happy until we get a G1 Skids-style camper with dirtbike Minicon, voiced by Dusty Rhodes. Hey, if the Rock can voice a Transformer...

I've always heard that was Orson Welles...
Indeed. Orson is known for having hated portraying Unicron and that he only did it for the money.

Because only one voice actor per movie can phone in their performance...? =p
No, it has to be Nimoy, because the aforementioned friend has absolutely no interest in the career of Orson Welles. Or Transformers, in fact.
They could've been wrong, of course, but the fact remains: Leonard Nimoy does not even slightly impress me as a voice actor.

I'm thinking they must have been mistaken then. The only voice actor in TFTM I've ever heard was like that was Orson Welles.
Regardless of what he'd said in the 90s (this was the same time he was seriously trying to distance himself from Spock), it seems Nimoy has developed at least some respect for the property in recent years. He wondered why nobody had actually contacted him about playing The Fallen in ROTF (apparently he was in consideration but Bay is a chickenshit to ask because he's related by marriage) and I'm guessing that's how he got the role.
A lot of actors who had previously said that TFTM sucked have come back to the franchise, probably for the huge level of respect we've shown them over the years even when they themselves have called the movie crap. Just look at Judd Nelson, who used to dislike talking about TFTM but apparently has changed his mind enough to voice Rodimus Prime in Animated. (Granted, it was for a few-minute cameo, but if Season 4 had ever been made and they'd gotten their shit together, he probably would have had a larger role.)
I'm sure if Orson Welles were still alive, he would have been tapped for Unicron in damn near everything.

People spend so much time worrying about whether a figure is "mint" or not that they never stop to consider other flavours.
