Optimus Prime and Nemesis Prime Face Off in Latest WFC Kingdom Trailer

Yelling isn't speaking, but technically sure, I guess we have a sample of what his voice may sound like, though it sounds just like the maximals that yell right afterwards.

Fun fact: Gary Chalk did Dinobots belch in the episode Double Dinobot.

And spewed soda (I think it was Coke) all over the mic in the process.

In the interview I watched, he said that happened when he was voicing for the sonic show.

The interview I saw was told by Susan Blu when she was his voice director. She didn't work on any of the Sonic cartoons.

Here's a recounting of it from her at a TFCon (I heard it at a BotCon, which is mentioned in the video):

I never understood the desire to have the same voice actors over and over again for stuff that isn't related. TFWiki shows there is a multiverse, so why would movie Prime sound like G1 cartoon Prime when they are not the same universe? Same with this WFC Trilogy, this is neither the G1 nor the Beast Wars universe, so why would they sound the same. Besides, these are timeless characters. Is anyone upset Bond is played by different people for almost 60 years of movies? Sure, voice-acting isn't as strenuous. But these people are going to straight-up die soon. What is everyone gonna do then???

Hasbro, sure, but not whatever studio is making this show.

Rooster Teeth

Is there any confirmation on the number of episodes?
Logic says it should be the same number,but personally I want Kingdom to last longer.

What's wrong with having the same voice actors for the same characters in different continuities as long as possible? Once they refuse/unable to perform, yeah get someone new. But as long as they're available, why not use them?

Probably because it creates problems like these when for, some reason, they don't perform the role. I think they should recast for every continuity, it allows a break out role for people who deserve the chance to shine. Plus, if Hasbro ever goes mad and creates multiple continuity media, a Enter the Spider-verse for Transformers say, it allows all the characters and their voices to interact with each other instead of sounding like one guy talking to him self.

Yes, there is nothing wrong with them performing the role but there is something wrong when a particular segment of fans demandthem to play the role, or the movie will be shit without them.

Dee Bradley Baker voices dozens of Clones for the Star Wars Clone Wars shows, and its various sequels and spinoffs. He gives amazing performances and makes each clone sound different enough to be believable.

Cullen and Welker will always be my Prime and Megatron. They are, as Brett Heart would say, "The Best there is, best there was , and the best there ever will be". However...no I do not demand they voice these characters in every iteration of Transformers. I will unapologetically say however, their voices magnified my enjoyment of Transformers Prime many fold as it was an unexpected surprise when the news came out. Sadly I also know there will come a time when that wont be possible anymore (but let's not push them in the grave just yet). There are plenty of talented actors out there to fill the role. While I'm not impressed at all with Jake Foushee, I do enjoy the performances of Neil Kaplan and Jon Bailey, so I am not too concerned about the future. There is always new talent being discovered. Not all of them will be great, but there will be someone worthy to take the mantle when the time comes, I am sure.

All the fault of the voice direction, to be fair. The actors in this show have given better performances in other shows. Had they gotten Cullen, Welker, Chalk, and Kaye, they too would have been directed to give just as bad performances as the rest of the cast.
