While it made sense for Peter Cullen not to voice Orion Pax in the upcoming Transformers One movie, as he didn't voice Orion Pax in G1 either, it would have been fun to at least have him voice a different character. That's the route the Japanese dub of the movie has gone with making Tesshō Genda, the original voice of Convoy and Orion Pax (in Japan), be Alpha Trion. We also have Ryohei Kimura in the cast as B-127, who has been playing Bumblebee in all of the recent cartoons in Japan, as well as Yuichi Nakamura and Subaru Kimura from Jujutsu Kaisen. Those two will be playing Optimus and Megatron respectively.

You can check the full voice cast below, which was revealed on the official Japanese movie site.

Elita-1: Riho Yoshioka
Sentinel Prime: Junichi Suwabe
Airachnid: Ryoka Yuzuki
Darkwing: Toru Inada
Starscream: Setsuji Sato
Soundwave: Masataka Yamamoto
Shockwave: Takanori Hoshino
Jazz: Tomokazu Sugita
Yuichi Nakamura: Optimus Prime/Orion Pax
Subaru Kimura: D-16/Megatron
Ryohei Kimura: B-127/Bumblebee
Tesshō Genda: Alpha Trion

And Speaking of voice actors, Paramount released a featurette with the English voice actors, which you can see below. Enjoy!

That first season of JJK was so fun, movie was too. I dropped season two after ~3 episodes. It was like being dropped into the middle of another series altogether, and not a particularly interesting one.

I am going to watch the Japanese version. I am not a Hemsworth fan at all. I also prefer professional voice actors. My biggest reason is Nakamura Yuuichi is voicing Prime, He is my favorite Japanese voice actor.

Paramount's international campaign for the Transformers One film is revealing a lot. So, consider anything going forth a possible spoiler.


Paramount has released two clips, one for Brazil and one for Taiwan. The one for Taiwan is a trailer showing lots of new shots of Megatron (in his final form) fighting Optimus. The clip for Brazil is an uninterrupted sequence of the Iacon race. In it we see a lot fo cameos including Brawn, Red Alert, Ratchet, Arcee and Ironhide.

Enjoy!

Ah, nice to see the race position readout take name dropping into high gear.

"Speedstream just ran through a deluge of warm liquid that seems to have changed his coloration somehow...and Override has just hit the nitros and...switched gender?"

With the second trailer, I've seen enough.

I don't want the whole damn movie to be spoiled before I see it.

LOL I don't mind getting a free movie now and then with a bit of a video splicing effort. Shouldn't all Transformers media be free since they exist to sell toys anyway!? Why not release the whole thing on YouTube already! 8-}

You jest, but they released Cyberverse via YouTube and the wider fandom at large still didn't watch it :(

And they're poorer for it. The show was different, yes, but it's also good if you stick with it.

Going by this YT Playlist (https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=P ... puNa1deWjV) quite a few of them got millions of views. But as long as the toy sales are meeting Hasbro's target, it's a success? (I don't know though. Did Hasbro make/lose money on Cyberverse? It got 4 seasons so can't be bad?)

I personally found the series a fun watch - better than RID'15 - I just don't like (not hating though) some of the designs, but it also brought Tarn to the mainstream and one of the best Volcanicus/Dinobots designs so mad credits to the series.

I'm ever an optimist. Even when a movie or series are legit "bad" (and there are many) it still carry the franchise forward. So as long as I see there are new/upcoming TF media to keep the franchise alive & relevant and the figures keep on coming, I'm happy even if some of them are not for me (I'm still on my 3rd attempt to read through IDW, but urgh it's tough for me).

Shame too, best TF show since Prime and Animated, and I would contest it can stand with both of them, especially seasons 3 and 4. That was some good TV.

And plus I feel it also works as the G1 reboot so many had asked for.

Unless, of course, what those "so many" were asking for was just the Autobot/Decepticon war on Earth animated in the hand-drawn "Captain Planet" art style again. >:oP

We had posted a clip of the Iacon race from Transformers One but it was in Portugese. Now, Paramount has released it in English. This lets us hear what Jon Hamm sounds like as Sentinel Prime. For those who had not seen it yet, there are TONS of cameos here both in the visuals and as callouts, like Brawn, Red Alert, Ratchet, Arcee and Ironhide.

Same here. I refuse to watch anything else until September 19th. I haven't been this excited for a TF movie since RoTF. I hope I won't be let down as bad.

For me, the most disappointing movie was AoE.
The Dinobots were wasted and the :CON: "shredded" transformation were dumb and lazy.

I think that for TF1 to be worse than any Bay movies, it would have to be done on purpose.
