I'm not sure if you've heard of him but this guy is a quality voice actor with range. I think that he'd make a good substitute to Cullen for Ironhide and would also do a great Blackout or Bonecrusher.

Above is a link to where you can hear some of his stuff.

I really don't know what's going on with all these voices, it's one of the most important aspects and we only have like three confirmed voice actors.

I guess this can be the Third Actor Wishlist Thread.

Here were my choices:

Jazz--Will Smith--Given they have near identical personalities.

Blackout--Steve Blum--because Steve Blum is awesome, and should be in everything.

Bumblebee--If he has lines, Quinton Flynn--Just imagine Raiden's voice on Bumblebee's body. It works!

Ratchet--Cam Clarke--Cam Clarke is also awesome, and should be in everything.

Frenzy--Mark Hamill--Because he looks as crazy as the Joker.
Or Hal Rayle--The voice of Shrapnel, because I can imagine Frenzy talking like Shrapnel.

Brawl--John Cygan--He does the gruff, military types good.

Bonecrusher--David Hayter--Two parts to this:

1. He does the mean voice good, and

2. So Bay can say "Hey, look, I got one of the Hayters on this!"

Seriously, don't the production know that the fans don't give a damn about Shia or Megan Fox, what really counts are the guys doing the voices for the characters.

That's just it: They're more important to the General Audience.

See, people need someone in a movie they can relate too. Spider-Man has always worked because he was a geek, and geeks were the biggest comic audience EVER.

For Transformers, sicne the targer audience is people who HAVEN'T seen Transformers before, or haven't seen it since G1, and it's hard for them to relate to Giant Robots, they put in human characters that they can understand.

Just wait: In the sequel, when people have warmed up to robotic characters, THAT'S when you'll see the focus move to Prime and those guys.
