Tranformers: The Game by Activision for multiple platforms - Image 1


Activision may have officially announced the signing up of Peter Cullen and Frank Welker to offer their voice talents of the game, but fans of Generation One (G1) of the lovable "Transformers" can rest assured that even the original voice actors of the many memorable bots of the 80s cartoon series will also provide their voices to Transformers: The Game.

Coming from an official press release just made available lately, the news is that Activision also signed up voice talents from the original animated series to create a game that speaks to both modern day and G1 fans. Activision has not called out any names in particular, but The Hollywood Reporter has caught Activision in meeting with G1 voice actors Keith David and Mark Ryan to reprise the voices of Barricade and Iron Hide, respectively.

Shia LaBeouf and Megan Fox will join up with Cullen and Welker to fill in the dialogue of their respective characters in the movie for the game adaptation headed to the PlayStation 3, Wii, Xbox 360, PSP, DS and the PC. To keep authenticity to the maximum, Activision even had Flint Dille, the writer of the cartoon series, pen the story of the game, which is under development by developer studios Vicarious Visions and Traveller's Tales.

I hope they have the original cast that did Megatron, Optimus Prime, Starscream and Soundwave. These were very impressive in the cartoon. I can hear it now, Starscream shouting "Megatrooooooooo on!" after he got hosed for trying to backstab him. That was pretty cool.
