The 1986 animated movie had a 'star studded' cast. Actors like Leonard Nimoy, Judd Nelson, and of course Orson Welles, all had significant parts in that iconic film. These actors of course, would only voice their characters exclusively for the big screen.

So my question is: If you were re-casting the movie today, who would be your 'star' voices, and which characters would they portray?

For example you could have Johnny Depp as Hot Rod, Angelina Jolie as Arce, or Simon Cowell as Unicron...Ok so maybe not Simon Cowell, but you get the picture.

So its over to you...

I'd make Johnny Depp the voice of Wreck-Gar, Sean Connery the voice of Unicron, and Scott McNeil the voice of Ultra Magnus (using the BW Silverbolt voice).

Strictly "stars" allowed?

Galvatron - Hugo Weaving (he did really good as Megatron)
Hot Rod - Matthew McConaughey (I'm not kidding. I just like his laid-back voice.)
Rodimus Prime - Dwayne Johnson
Ultra Magnus - Sylvester Stallone
Wreck-Gar - Russell Brand (ANNOYING. Just like the character.)
Unicron - James Earl Jones (Is there even another option?)
