    I kinda like the idea of Nimoy doing Jetfire, I don't think he talks fast enough to be The Fallen, seeing as he seems to be pretty quick with the teleports and what-not. Nimoy playing Jetfire would go with the "old guy" thing. Just listen to his voice in the Star Trek teaser trailer...Dude's old...

    Star Trek trailers and video clips on Yahoo! Movies

    This makes me sad.

    The fake aussie voice by Brian Drummond (IIRC) was actually for Cybertron. Scott McNeil (who was born in Australia) did Jetfire's North American-accented voice for Armada and Energon.

    "The only reason he's not called Galvatron is for the sake of the general audience who is not aware of the Megatron - Galvatron paradigm "

    I'm sure the writers could come up with a way to explain it to the general audience. I'm actually hoping that they are saving the whole Galvatron thing for the third movie and possibly have Unicron too.

    Someone said that the whole Megatron/Galvatron thing has been overdone? I'd like to know how? We have not seen it since the G! animated movie as far as I know. If that is considered over doing it then we are in trouble.

    Nimoy as the fallen, Welker as Soundwave, and Keith David as Unicron! Come on guys, we need to rally the troops to ensure Keith David is involved in just more then the videogame. His voice is to iconic not to be utilized in this franchise.

    What?

    G1, RiD, Armada, Energon, Cybertron...

    Not to mention it barely makes any sense "HI GUYS I'M BACK, AND NOW MY NAME SHALL BE GALVATRON!"

    I have nothing against Galvatron/Megatron, so long as it is such a HUGE diffrence that it could truly be a diffrent charcter. but a new body/repaint, naw

    With any luck it'll be Welker as Soundwave and Nimoy as the Fallen.

    And on a side note, I'm glad that they didn't rename Megatron as Galvatron. We barely saw Megatron in TF1, so its way too early for that name change.

    I hope Nimoy is The Fallen as long if soundwave is voiced by frank welker it doesn't matter.

    If Jetfire should still have an Aussie accent, why not Hugh Jackman?
