Variety shares some news with us about the FALLEN whose voice actor was still a mystery...until now. Check out the VA spoilers below for some possibly new information on what returning actor is now voicing a robot instead of appearing as a human, and what legendary actor is voicing the FALLEN, and which is not.

Check out Variety's very detailed descriptions and information about ROTF, and an ROTF movie review at Cinefools.com.

SPOILERS involving ROTF voice actors...

Anthony Anderson returns to the Transformers Movie Franchise as the Autobot's JOLT voice instead of his wisecracking, computer-hacking, Glen, and the FALLEN is not being voiced by Leonard Nimoy, or Frank Welker.

Check out VARIETY for the answer to who IS voicing the FALLEN character, if you do not already know. Horror film buffs should be familiar with who it is when they see the name.

Is this news? I knew it was Tony Todd, since the premiere in Japan, after the premiere somebody immediately updated the Wikipedia on the movie.

Tony Todd voices The Fallen, one of the original thirteen Transformers and the one who corrupted Megatron into forming the Decepticons. He is trapped in another dimension and was able to communicate with the Decepticons via an interdimensional window. He is capable of opening Space Bridges at will.[107] It was the Fallen's face, distorted by this window, that inspired the image the Decepticons would use as their insignia.[112] Lorenzo di Bonaventura compared the Fallen to Judas Iscariot.[113] He transforms into a Cybertronian aircraft.[114] The writers selected the Fallen after looking through various cartoons and comics for new characters, because he was the most "elemental" villain.[21] Orci and Kurtzman approached Leonard Nimoy, who they had collaborated with on the Star Trek movie, about voicing the part. Nimoy voiced Galvatron in 1986's The Transformers: The Movie and is also married to Bay's aunt Susan. Orci said Welker might take on the role due to "fan outcry".[109] Bay was apprehensive about approaching Nimoy as "I just feel kind of bad about asking him. Like 'I can't pay you that much, but would you do this voice?'"[115] During a press conference for Star Trek, Nimoy answered that the director should "Call me!" He also said he had heard that Bay was afraid to get a hold of him "for some reason", but he would gladly be a part of Transformers again.[116] Todd noted on his official website that he would be voicing a character in the movie, although the character's identity remained unknown until the film's premiere in Japan.[117]

The part about anthony anderson is new to me. Quite funny he being back in the movie in this way.

A shame Leonard Nimoy didn't get a role, but Tony Todd as The Fallen is a definite plus.

It would be the ultimate nod to the G1er's if they got Nimoy for Galvatron in TF3... or better yet, Unicron

I'm glad to see Anderson back, he's a cool guy. It does raise the question of whether or not Jolt is going to have a Jazzy personality.

Was that racist? If so, sorry.

I already knew Tony Todd was the voice actor for the Fallen he seems like a good choice as he seems to have a good voice that would fit the Fallen's Character.

If you remember Tony Todd he was in the 1st Resident Evil movie as the captain of the force who went down into the hive only later to get choped up bye the lazer sercuity net.

Also Tony Todd was in the Candyman Horror Movie as the bad guy.

I like him and I enjoyed him in both of those movies.

I knew that Lenard Nimoy wasnt going to happen but maybe they can use Lenard in Transformers 3 to be the voice of someone else.

Also does anyone know who is the voice of Sounwave or is Soundwave just going to be a cameo appearance in it.

I was hoping he would have a larger role and Frank Welker would voice him.

I hope that Anthony Anderson does a good job voicing his character but I guess we will have to wait till Revenge hits at the end of the month so we can see how everything is done.

I have faith that they will do justice for these characters I just hope the movie lives up to all the hype.

Tony **** Todd as the Fallen?

I think I have a new favorite movie-verse character!

They should get Robert Englund to do Unicron's voice if they ever put him in the movie verse. That or get him to do Bludgeon's voice or something...He needs to be in the damn movie somehow!

NO!! I thought of an even better voice for Unicron. DOUG BRADLEY! If you don't know that name then click the following link...

Pain? How dare you use that word...what you think of as pain is only a shadow. Pain has a face. Allow me to show it to you, gentlemen, I AM PAIN.

Pinhead!

Nimoy for Unicron I say.

:APPLAUSE:

Mike Patton as Mixmaster is also FTW!

B-)

Oh wow, I didn't even notice Patton as Mixmaster. That's awesome!

But Doug Bradley>Leonard Nimoy

Tony Todd was in The Rock right?

=P~

I think Nimoy would doo a good Unicron. It needs to be someone with a deep, booming voice. Yeah, i know voice and tone can be manipulated, but still.

Also, I would find it hilarious if one of the Fallen's lines would be

"Do you know how this **** works?!"

Well at least the Fallens gonna sound cool. Still looks like slag though but the voice defiantly fits. To bad Anthony Anderson isnt reprising his roll from the first. I am glad to see him back though. Hes a pretty good comidicactor(think thats the word).

Website · by **Skullgrin140** » Wed Jun 17, 2009 2:20 pm

Well, So much for Nimoy voicing the Fallen. However I know Tony Todd will do an excellent job at playing such an Awesome, I am also suprised that Anthony Anderson is back as a voice in TF...even though I thought his role was useless in the first film I hope maybe the role of Jolt will shine abit for him.

All in all great news

hes good man i like his voice i dont feel like going back so im going to say this i dont know who said this but tony todd was in all 3 candyman movies i saw the third one it showed the origin of the canyman.

wow anthony anderson transformer character intersting its going to be weird hering his voice out of a transfromer be very weird if was cast as a decepticon.

are they going to change his voice up a bit like they did with whats his name whos playing megatronor are they going to keep his voice the same as peter cullen as optimus prime i didnt feel liek reading the entirre artical.

i dont know wht news that i ve missed but it would be great to hear fank welker as soundwave in the film not sure if its confirmed he got the part et or not my computer has been down as for leanord nemroy he would have been good to if they do ddecide to make galvateon or make his voice deeper for unircon.
