Did it ever occur to you that maybe, just maybe, they actually had auditions? The guy playing Starscream (if anyone cared to actuall look) is a seasoned VA. Professional. He played Ikis in AH! Real Monsters! That's one big brownie point for Adler!


Plus: Bumblebee does say one sentance towards the end of the film.

Did i say adler sucked? No i said that no one knows who most (notice i said most not all) of these people are. I also dont remember real mosters being that big of a show. I remember it being just another nick cartoon. And think about it. We heard all these rumors and some confermations of know acotrs and vas were going to do the voices but after the movie was done and it came time to record the vo most of the actors changed. Im sure there were better but they couldnt afford them. Granted from what ive heard the VO is good in the movie. But i was pointing out that all the humans are played by know people and the bots are played by alot of people know one knows. So think about it, how much does it cost to use ILM? How much does it cost to get all these know actors to play the humans, how much does it cost to film a movie. Doesnt leave much for paying VAs. Oh and by the way im glad i made your eyes bleed. Your pain brings me pleasure.

Um...when people fight on the Internet, everyone loses. Unless you fight with a mod. Then...

Back on-topic: if this list is an actual bill of voice-actors, then I won't lie. I am relieved. Some of the talent have been around for quite some time, and have proven (in the case of Adler and Harnell, anyway) that they're fully capable of pulling-off some great characterization using voice alone. The fact that this isn't a list of big name talent (even amongst voice actors) might be evidence of two things: either none of the "big" names wanted to be associated with this project (quite possible), or the auditions served their purpose to such an extent that it boggles the mind, and the voice actors chosen are the new characters. Now, even if it is a slim chance in the Pit that the latter is the case...this preliminary news still serves as a source of optimism.

'Cause, when you think about it, these people might not be the crop of solid voice acting talent...but Messick, Welker, Burton, Bell, and Cullen had to start someplace...

There is another G1 alumni in there which is great. Chalie Alder is a pretty good VA. Loved him as Eric Raymond in Jem. For the most part there are proper VA's which is what we where all hoping for. So guys we won.

I'm happy to oblige.


Ah! Real Monsters was one of those shows I grew up with and watched religiously, so for me that's a huge bonus point that they got Adler. Depending on how old you are, I don't suppose it would mean that much to you as it does for me.

Oh! I was never implying that I thought you said Adler sucked. You just said that you thought this movie was suppose to have real VA in it...and it does. Adler as well as a few others I looked up, are seasoned VA.

I also grew up with Ah! Real Monsters. Witch does add some cred to Adler. Like i said half the people no ones heard of or arent seasoned VAs. Thats all i was trying to point out. I guess i should've worded my statement better than since you got the wrong idea from it.

we're not fighting its more of a debate if anything. We are expressing our opinions. Trust me this is far from a fight.

If we were really fighting-I would win. With or without Mod powers.

Don't suppose anyone here's been around long enough to remember The Boot?

hey new here,

at the moment i cant get past the fact that hugo weaving is doing megatron, all i can picture right now is a mtrix style, "mr anderson scene" only in my mind the characters are replaced with transformers

none the less im sure he will be awsome ^^

That kind of voice, from those kind of people? Everyone keeps saying that Jazz is "black" or "brother" but Hasbro didn't have the balls to make a black pretender shell for him. Now that was the blackest (no pun intended)day in Transformer history. Our darkest hour. I was one confused little boy, and I didn't buy another Transformer for 15 years.

Hmmm, the voice cast seems approraite to me. The onyly thing I dont understand is how come Keith david is only voicing Barricade in the games?

But Jesse Harnell (Captain Hero) for Ironhide sounds freakin cool!

No David Sobolov? Danm!

Charlie Alder for screamer I am amazed about. Although I was really expecting Mark Hamill or Dave Mustaine to play Screamer.

Overall, Good chosen cast. Now if Victor Caroli can be the narrator then I'm happy

wouldn't be too hard, considering hes done a few commercials including voicing over for a commercial for the remastered tf movie.

but yeah I definetly want to hear his voice narrating. He's got a great voice. i know I had chills down my spine from awesomeness listening to the original tv show and movie with his voice.

I remember on new years eve (going from 04 to 05) when the ball dropped, I started going "it is the year 2005..." with my impression of him (it's not that close to victor as it is to jigsaw's "i want to play a game" voice, or the guy who always goes "this summer...")

I beg to differ my friend. Im not called Megatron for nothing. Ill have it going for so long you'll stop out of bordem. And if when you think youve won there i am again. I may not have mod powers but i am persistant. I will never except defeat. Because this is sparta! And what are you talking about when you say "the boot"? Could it posibly be reboot?

This list doesnt seem right...

No Blackout and no Keith David... I hope this list is wrong.
