Ever get the feeling, that if the robots were voiced by A-list actors in the movie, they might have had more than... 3 lines (at most) each?
Obviously the cast they got are veterans when it comes to voice over work, but the average movie-goer wouldn't have a clue who most of them were.
As such, I don't think Bay or the writing staff thought it was necessary to give them much character, or screen time, or dialog.

Christian Bale- Prowl
Liam Neeson- Ultra Magnus
Christian Bale was in "Howl's Moving Castle", so he's not really against voice-overs if the script is good. It would never happen, it's just my opinion.

In general I think professional voice actors are a much better way to go. | |

Good thinking!  | |

Optimus: Ebert, you picked the wrong movie. Give me your face! (reveals that Ebert was really the Indie boy from Slumdog Millionaire)
