Transformers gets voice talent Comments by Robert Purchese

Hmmm, it never occured to me that the game might have you running around as humans. Maybe you won't, but I suppose the film association makes this more likely.

People suck, robots kick ass. If they put in a "stealth section" I am going to write to the papers in outrage.

If activition are in the helms, then my pessemism has been hightened.

Aslong as they have the original tv series voices of Optimus Prime, i will buy this, will relive my childhood, hopefully unless this turns out to b crap...(more than likely)

The voice of Megatron was Frank Welker rather than Webber.

That is all.

Welker was replaced by Hugo Weaving in the movie, so it's interesting they've got him on board for this. Presumably some kind of consolation prize. Mind you, the guy's voiced pretty much every non-human creature in TV and movie history - he's got over 500 credits on IMDb for everything from Gremlins to Scooby Doo - so I don't suppose he's hurting too much.

I heard that BumbleBee (aka Gold Bug) won't be a Volkswagon Beetle in the film as all the cars have to be Fords. If this is true (I am going on rumour and speculation) I will boycott the film and everything associated with it.

"They'll be giving it the dramatics alongside the original television voices of Optimus Prime and Megatron, Peter Cullen and Frank Webber."

That would be "Frank Welker", Rob. You might also remember him as Dr. Claw.

It still won't be as good as the Melbourne House game.

I think you'll find it's Shia LaBeouf not shial and no he's not talented at all.

Rex Runti: Yeah, Bumblebee's a Camero in the film or something like that. It's not so much that all the cars have to be Fords (Not heard anything along those lines so far) but because, apparently, Volkswagen are funny about their car being associated with Transformers. There's a line of Transformers called Alternators where Hasbro approached car manufacturers and got their permission to use actual cars as the alt. modes so you get figures that transform into scale replicas of real cars. Anyway, rumour has it that they approached Volkswagen to ask them if they could use the new Beetle for Bumblebee and they said no. Apparently Volkswagen won't have anything to do with Transformers now because Transformers use guns.
I'm kinda looking forward to this as I'm nut about Transformers, but a demo in Xbox Live first would be a blessing so if I could see if it's a) Awesome 'coz it's Transformers or b) Crap because it's a movie tie-in.

Welker replaced?
An outrage!

"Nobody replaces Megatron!"
"Then it pleases me to be the first"

Etc

is shia the beef in Constantine?

A Transformers news story a day makes the pedants and fanboys come out to play.

"is shia the beef in Constantine?"

Yeah, he plays the gruff forty-something taxi driver, Chas, to Keanu's blond liverpudlian Constantine.

forty something?

Movie tie in game Starscream? This is bad comedy!

/hopes for nice game

YOU'VE GOT THE TOUCH!! (do do doo do) YOU'VE GOT THE POWAWAARR!

Woop, wrong Transformers movie....

Heh - car originally designed for one A. Hitler not keen on association with guns. Oh the irony!

I just hope Mr Rosbeef recorded an appropriate scream sample for when you get to stomp on the runty little git. I hear there's a minigame "Where's Le Boeuf?" - there's a bunch of crates, with SlB hiding in one, and you've got to rid the movie world of this talentless little girlyman as quickly as possible.

Or I could just be dreaming...
