From IGN: http://movies.ign.com/articles/776/776135p1.html Quote:
With its July 4 release date looming, voice casting on the live-action Transformers movie is shaping up. Hot on the heels of the news that Hugo Weaving will voice Megatron comes word that Keith David (The Thing) will voice the Decepticon police cruiser Barricade in the Michael Bay-directed film.
IGN has confirmed David's casting, which was first rumored over at Ain't It Cool News. Barricade's automobile form will be a Saleen S281 Ford Mustang police cruiser.
David's other credits include Crash, Platoon, The Chronicles of Riddick and Armageddon, which was also directed by Bay. He is also an accomplished voice actor, having worked on such cartoons as Gargoyles, Spawn, Justice League, Teen Titans as well as the Halo videogames.
In related news, USA Today caught up with Transformers scribe Alex Kurtzman who informed the paper, "(writing partner Roberto Orci and I) always modeled Optimus Prime after King Arthur. ... His design (from the '80s toys and cartoon) was so iconic we couldn't make too many changes."

I think Keith David has an EXCELLENT voice that would work well for a few different TF characters, but I didn't see it (at least the Goliath voice I remember) attached to Barricade, who I kinda imagined with a less menacing "stormtroopery" voice, to match the Terminator 2-ish nature of the character. It'll probably be better than I think though.  How the Animated toy line REALLY came to an end | |
