[deathshead2]

That cast list is wrong. Shia isn't going to be named spike they changed it to Sam same goes to Kevin.

[zer00]

Yeah the cast has been posted, and they're all playing humans.

[zer00]

That cast list is wrong. Shia isn't going to be named spike they changed it to Sam same goes to Kevin.
Technically his nickname is spike

[deathshead2]

Technically his nickname is spikeYeah but I meant real name not nickname.

[sky51fire]

Megan Fox is one hot girl.

[Destructicus]

Spike is Spike but now Sam is Spike so even though Spike is Sam we must call Spike Sam and Sam Spike so where is the logic.

[WalkingDead]

Rumors for vocie actors say that...

John Di Maggio, Billy West, Tim Curry, Gary Chalk, David Kaye, Ron Perlman, and Sam Elliot are being looked at for Voice Actors...


Take with large grains of salt though...I don't know which ones are true, semi-true, or plain lies/fanboy wanks.

[BlazingBread]

TIM CURRY AS MEGATRON FTW!!!! lol j/k

[WalkingDead]

TIM CURRY AS MEGATRON FTW!!!! lol j/k

Hey, Remember his "Darkness" (a.k.a. the Devil) from Legend. That was a great evil voice.

[BlazingBread]

^True True i completly forgot about that

[ComicKoryn]

....I always thought that Tim Curry played Darkness, not just the voice over. Actually, I'm pretty sure that was him.

[WalkingDead]

He did...I was just saying, remember Darkness' voice.

Curry would rock as Megs

[deathshead2]

Curry would rock as MegsI always liked his voice and as Megs it would be a good replacement for the older voice actors.

[CFlash]

Curry would rock as Megs

Not sure about that. I always associate him with Rocky Horror and probably forever will.
And, his slapstick performance in The Shadow didn't help much.

[deathshead2]

Not sure about that. I always associate him with Rocky Horror and probably forever will.
And, his slapstick performance in The Shadow didn't help much.Just watch legend even though its crap the best part is his voice just close your eyes and listin to his voice. Theres a story going around that Timm wanted him as joker for B:tas but Fox replaced him with Mark because Curry sounded to scary.

[zer00]

Not sure about that. I always associate him with Rocky Horror and probably forever will.

....so you're condeming him because of one "slapstick" performance?

[CFlash]

Just watch legend if though its crap the best part is his voice just close ypur eyes and listin to his voice. Theres a story going around that Timm wanted him as joker for B:tas but Fox replaced him with Mark because Curry sounded to scary.

Duly Noted.
I just don't want people to break out into song when they hear his voice in the movie... or when he blasts a poor little Autobot....

So you got caught with a flat... well, how about that?
Well babies don't you panic.
By the light of the night, when it all seems alright
I'll get you a satanic mechanic.

[CFlash]

....so you're condeming him because of one "slapstick" performance?

Jesus Christ dude. I didn't "condemn" anybody.
I happen to be a big Rocky Horror Picture Show fan (see post above).... as are a gazillion people. It's a cult classic.... and his voice is every recognizable. That said, I love the guy and if he gets the role, more power to him!

i still want Leonard Nemoy as megatron
cause he ruled in the first movie

[Casius--J]

i still want Leonard Nemoy as megatron
cause he ruled in the first movie

He really did, i was thinkin just that as i was reading this thread.

But tim curry would be fine too, he does a lot of voice acting and he always does a good job. He's especially good in villain roles.

[ComicKoryn]

I say lay off CFlash, he's been doing really good about staying relatively positive or just plain objective about most of what he's been saying. I think you're doing great CFlash, I know how hard it is not to let your inner fanboy yell out how you truly feel.

That being said, I don't think Tim Curry would be the best Megatron. He does have an amazing talent for voice acting, but Megatron to me was never blatantly evil; simply put he was more like a subdued and ominous presence.

Now, who does have the appropriate tone for Megatron? I think that Leonard Nemoy or Ian McKellen could do a great job if they added mechanical effects to their voices to make them slightly darker. Either that or hire some old fart who's been smoking cigarrettes since he was 5. I'm good with either one.

I think Nimoy, with his raspy somewhat growling voice nowadays (what happened to him? does he smoke?) is perfect for the role. Especially, like you said, with the mechanical effects added to his voice. Man, that'd be awesome.

[Golgo-13]

Is Casey Casum still alive? I loved his voice as Windcharger....

[WalkingDead]

Is Casey Casum still alive? I loved his voice as Windcharger....
Casey Casum was Cliffjumper, not Windcharger.

And yes he is, but I doubt he'd ever do anything Transformers related again, since he quit working on Transformers cartoon cause of the rascist way the cartoon portrayed Middle Eastern countries...with it's Arabian Parody Country...Carbombia (Car Bomb ia). Since Casum is of Arabian decent.

[Golgo-13]

^.That's right, my bad.:up:

[apoohneicie]

I think we are all overlooking a great voice who has come back into vogue in the past few years...Christopher Lee! Imagine that menacing voice as Megatron!

[undraftedpacker]

What about James Earl Jones as Megatron, he had a wicked cool voice for Darth Vader. There was a rumor once upon a time that George Clooney was gonna do Prime..........I think he'd be a good fit.

[theRedRider52]

Holy S***, I thought my thread was closed.

Megatron is not Darth Vader.

Nimoy is a good second choice for Megatron after Welker. Neil Kaplan is a good 2nd choice for Optimus Prime after Peter Cullen. 3rd choice would be Gary Chalk.

[undraftedpacker]

I know Megatron is not Darth Vader, if you read my thread again and pay attention, my point was that James E. Jones has a good voice for evil characters.

[xwolverine2]

christopher lee!!!!!....i dont care who...just someone evil!lol

[Dotten]

Hugo Weaving did a magnificent job as V in V for Vendetta. Could easily hear him as one of the transformers.

Ian Mckellan and Morgan Freeman have powerfull voices, I would love to have them in the movie.

But most of all I hope they bring back most of the original voices.

[roach]

I'd go with Galvatron's voice for Megatron

[nosebleed.]

Christopher Lee is a bit too proper for Megs...not backstabbing enough. Nimoy has the perfect voice.

As for Curry, I always picture this when I think of him:

The only Transformer that comes right away to mind when I think of Christopher Lee is Vector Prime from Transformers Cybertron.

Man, that is such a nice piece of art *saved*. It does look kind of regal though...which is how I best describe Christopher Lee's performances.

[TigerClaw]

And part of the movie will take place in the middle east, He won't go near it.

Take with large grains of salt though...I don't know which ones are true, semi-true, or plain lies/fanboy wanks.

Whether any of that is true or not, I could potentially see some of those actors as certain TF's:

Billy West- Bumblebee
Tim Curry- Starscream
Sam Elliot- Ironhide
Ron Perlman- Another possibilty for Ironhide or even one of the Decepticons

[Pink Ranger]

Yeah the cast has been posted, and they're all playing humans.

That's going to be a bit of a stretch for John Voigt.

[DOG LIPS]

That's going to be a bit of a stretch for John Voigt.
Zing!

That...looks disturbingly like Christopher Lee

[WalkingDead]

That...looks disturbingly like Christopher Lee
The Storyline for Vector Prime is that he's one of the original 13 Transformers...made millions and millions of years ago. So with the age and wisdom factors...it could be very cool. *Remember Cybertron Storyline has nothing to do with G1*

holy crap!!!...i can see the resemblance!:eek: .................

honestly i dont want the cartoon voices... i mean they fit the 60s or w/e but there not good actors.Thats why they should aim for new voices like Chris lee:up: :)

[Golgo-13]

IMBD has an actor named Mark Ryan listed as the voice for one of the Transformers.
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0752699/

[MagicPrime]

You could always get Mark Hammill, he's in everything now-adays. And pretty much is a voice actor nowadays. And by "everything" I mean behind the scenes. You see his name in the Credits a lot.

[nosebleed.]

http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0752699/

Yeah, it says this also...

He has just completed "SpecialOps: Delta" playing Col. Anderson Savage and was hired as the onset voice (uncredited) of the "Transformers" for the forthcoming Michael Bay movie of the same name.

[Syncos]

I vote for Gary Chalk for Optimus and David Kaye as Megatron.

Ah, my loving memories of Beast Wars...
*ducks the blunt objects G1 fanboys are beginning to throw*

[Octoberist]

to my knowledge, Peter Cullen can still the Prime voice, though he sounds slightly older, but it's still great.

My God, just get him for God's sakes. What's the friggin' harm?

[nosebleed.]

I know most people here have a general hatred for young annoying actors and have lumped Shia LaBeouf into that category. I recently watched The Greatest Game Ever Played starring LeBeouf and his acting in that movie, while nothing truly dynamic like Maguire in Seabiscuit, was more than adequate enough to put him a step above a few of his peers. Its a decent movie that takes him out of the comedy realm into a more serious tone.

id rather shia than most kids who cant act for ****..........but thats not to say shia can act.I just hate it when he acts ghetto, i havent yet washed his performance in i,robot off my mind:(


but what about tyrese?:o :o :mad:

[GL1]

Shia can out act anyone his age, and quite a few in the next decade bracket, many of which make much more money than he does... and Voight personally mentors him, so he's guaranteed to be better than last time you saw him...

As for voices, I say keep Peter Cullen, cuz he can still pull it off and Optimus Prime is iconic in many ways... I would even say keep Chris Latta as Starscream... the rest of the voice actors have been out of work for a while, likely they had better things to do... I'm not sure about Frank Welker, while clearly the most experienced, I'm not sure his voice does it for a darker more adult Megatron... but hey, what the heck...

All the other vehicles should be replaceable, imho... of course, Tim Curry makes for a good replacement for Megs, since Welker's a bit older now... James Earl Jones would make an awesome Ironhide, whlie I'd love to hear Pearlman as Prowl. Dimaggio would be the ULTIMATE Starscream, and, well... yeah... I'd like to see some good things in the future...

[bluejake01]

Sadly Chris Latta has passed away...

[Spark]

Yeah, I'd definitely put him in the "out of work for a while" bracket. Although there's plenty besides Cullen who're carrying on their VA careers as normal.

[Supreme Power]

Just watch legend even though its crap the best part is his voice just close your eyes and listin to his voice. Theres a story going around that Timm wanted him as joker for B:tas but Fox replaced him with Mark because Curry sounded to scary.

Did you call Legend crap? :mad: Why would you dis someone's childhood like that.

[TNC9852002]

Frank Welker can easily do about 3 or 4 different characters in the movie. They already have Cullen, and Frank has been in dozens of movies and cartoons for over 40 years now, so I see no reason why he can't be Megatron and a couple of others for the movie. The general audiences won't recognize their voices, so it's probably good that they're using B and C list actors in the movie as the human supporting characters and use professional unknown and known voice actors to bring out those other voices.

Morgan Freeman for Jazz/Meister! :p
