Optimus Prime and Megatron are all set for a happy reunion for the multiplatformer game version of the classic 80s cartoon, Transformers. The voice actors, that is.

Yep, it's been confirmed. Prime voice actors Peter Cullen and Frank Welker have given their nods to reprise their roles as Autobots leader, Optimus Prime, and Decepticons head bot, Megatron for Transformers: The Game. And it was a very smart decision to make on the part of Activision, indeed. Says Activision's production head Laird Malamed, "As Transformers fans, we knew the importance of having the well-known voices of Optimus Prime and Megatron in the game."

Transformers: The Game is set to head out to retail stores this summer, with Traveller's Tales doing the work for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Wii, PS2, and PC version. Meanwhile, Savage Entertainment is working at the helm for the PlayStation Portable version, and Vicarious Visions is responsible for the development of the DS versions.

So, while those companies are still busy tuning up them bots for Transformers: The Game, why don't you go check out this clip from the original Transformers series, where Optimus Prime and Megatron engages in a heated up battle? With the 80's rock music having that cheesy signature 80s lead guitar riffs playing in the background, this is sure to be one big blast from the past.

Interesting that Activision isn't going with Hugo Weaving as the voice of Megs like the movie producers did. I liked Welker as Megs. We'll have to see how it goes.

» Yeah.

But it was the coolest show back in its day. It's still at least as good as any of the retarded kids' cartoons are today. (I don't count The Simpsons or Family Guy as they're not really for kids so much)

» Anime what?

I love anime and this one clip shows how Transformers the Movie('86) can stand up to any of them, even today. Good choice by the editor.

» Yeah That Clip Is From The Old Movie

The old movie is still good but the sound track is so cheesy today. I can't wait to see the new movie!

It's just a shame the movie coming out this summer will be utter ***** crapped out of Bay's ass. The old TF Movie still kicks the new film's ass.
