With thanks to 2005 Boards members Chris McFeely and tehKOREANdude we now have a near-complete voice actor credit listing for Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. On cast are Frank Welker, Tom Kenny, Tony Todd and Kevin Michael Richardson alongside Peter Cullen, Charles Adler and Jess Harnell who reprised their earlier roles.

Full voice cast:

Optimus Prime - Peter Cullen
Bumblebee - Does not speak in the film
Ratchet - Robert Foxworth
Ironhide - Jess Harnell
Sideswipe - Andre Sogliuzzo
Arcee - Grey DeLisle
Jetfire - Mark Ryan
Mudflap - Reno Wilson
Skids - Tom Kenny
Wheelie - Tom Kenny
Jolt - Does not speak in the film

Megatron - Hugo Weaving
Starscream - Charles Adler
Soundwave - Frank Welker (but lacking the vocodered voice)
The Fallen - Tony Todd
Scalpel "The Doctor" - John DiCrosta

Demolishor also speaks, although the various other Constructicons do not. Devastator reportedly just grunts and roars, so there is no confirmation if Frank Welker is providing his voice. Additionally Kevin Michael Richardson provides the voice of an ancient Transformer seen in one sequence.

It was the only credit of those I've reported that I didn't actually read on-screen - I was just so certain purely from hearing the voice.
The were two of them speaking, but I made the assumption that the more regal voice was supposed to be the senior of the bunch. Both characters were credited, but I can't remember who the main speaker was - York was definitely credited as the other one.

*flops back* Oh, thank goodness! I thought I was honestly going mad, because that HAD to be KMR's voice. A body couldn't confuse him with Michael York! The KMR-voiced chap talked more than the other guy, I thought.

Yes, that's the in the preview clip that was online - it was cut from the finished film, however. Unless it was included in the IMAX cut - I only saw it in a regular cinema.
DieMaus:
So Michael York WAS in the film?! Jesus Christ, I thought my brother was just joking when he said he'd seen that name in the credits! If it was him, he certainly didn't say much; I would have been sure I'd have noticed a voice as distinct as his!

Oh, and McFeely, don't worry: it was Kevin Michael Richardson playing one of the other Primes, that was one of the credits I remembered very clearly. Your voice-act-dar was dead on the money there.

The entire clip or just the part where he manages to speak a little?

Just the little bit where they talk about "purpose", including Bumblebee's choked-out "What - is - your - purpose - Sam?" The rest of the garage scene is all there.

red one? dont you mean purple??? so you are saying that the pink and blue bikes get shotted but the purple one disappears toward the end?

also didn't I read that rampage speaks in the movie?

Update on the Soundwave voice issue, straight from our own Mr Roberto Orci:

So it was a directorial call; that makes me a lot more comfortable with it, especially given that his reasoning pertained to an issue that many people have brought up with Soundwave voices in recent years. I wasn't happy with the idea that they'd just half-assedly neglected to do it for no reason, but if that's his judgement, then I can respect it. I still would have preferred it if the vocoder had been there, but like I said, I genuinely think that Soundwave was done in a very faithful way overall, and the Claw voice suits him well enough.
moreprimeland:
Well, those of us who wanted Arcee to be voiced by Susan Blu..sigh..let down.
And Soundwave won't sound right?? Gee.... while the the best news I've heard can't let
those things keep me from enjoying the movie. Transform and roll out or rise up!!!
WhiteRabbit:
Wait, wait, wait now.... are you saying Rampage doesn't talk at all? In the footage shown at the Botcon Paramount party, he holds Sam's parents by gun point and awesomely growls "Saaahm Weetweekeee". Is that gone? D:
Chris McFeely:
Well, I can safely say that I don't REMEMBER it, but then, I may just not have been able to decipher it out of his growling.

I think it was some interview in which Bay offhandedly said that Turturro was voicing him. It's possible that he meant "on-set voice". This was further reinforced when Orci said that he "offered to do it because he thought it would be fun". I guess he neglected to mention that it was only an offer.

The Soundwave voice doesn't bug me one bit. It is possible that it would have been too hard to understand for the non-fan crowd. Anyway, since he apparently survives, he can get his vocal processor damaged in TF3 and then speak in the classic voice.
Grievous:
Well...I might as well add my 5 cents...

First off...Soundwave with no vocoder? Fail!
Secondly...Bumblebee still can't speak? Fail!
Thirdly...No Contructicon dialogue scenes? Fail!

But apart from that...I still think this film is going to win!
J Migidy:
No Susan Blu as Arcee and no Vocode on Soundwave? WTF????
JKahn913:
Jolt seems to be turning out pretty lame-o. If he has no lines, he's going to be an non-entity. I'm getting the idea that most of the good stuff, or at least strong foreshadowing of the good stuff, has been shown in the trailers.

Getting more and more dissapointed everyday. . . .

Probably because movie Bumblebee works better without a voice. I think that most people felt that Bumblebee was a better character before he opened his mouth. That voice was horrible. Can anyone say old Englishman? Bay and company probably realized their mistake and went back to the whole talking through the Satellite radio thing.
Sso02V:
Yeah, the whole radio-speak gimmick must have really caught on with the target demographic.
blunghole:
Crap, I was hoping John DiMaggio (Bender from Futurama) would voice Sideways like he does in the video game. I was really hoping for a "Kill all humans" line.
AutobotJazz4:
So it seems that the rumors about Leonard Nimoy where a fake. Damn. I know that he would love to be part of this movie.

"Fake"? "Rumors"? Bay and Orci officially stated that Nimoy was being considered for the role; that just didn't turn out to be the case. We didn't fall for something made-up with no basis in reality or anything.

Well i dotn Think Sideways have any Line, Ssicne he have a very Small screen time liek grindor/blackout
Bahamut Prime:
Maybe I'll watch the credits - and damn! No vocoder for Frank Welker! Not sure how it'll sound as a result!
blackhawk:
I've seen the movie a couple of times now, and I thought I'd chime in with a couple of points based on stuff raised in this thread. WARNING: I'm not going to spoiler tag this post as it should be pretty much considered all SPOILER.

1) Welker's voice isn't vocodered and really doesn't need to be. Honestly, the voice really suits the movie aesthetic where the G1 voice would have sounded strange and out of place. The "Excellent Ravage!" youtube clip earlier in this thread is exactly how movie Soundwave sounds actually.

2) Rampage and Demolisher both have lines ("Sam Whitwicky" / "This is not your planet to rule; the Fallen will rise again") and although Demolisher is put down by Prime early on, he does make up part of Devastator later on. There does appear to be several teams of Constructicons throughout the movie though, as Long Haul in particular is prominent in the search for Sam and the final battle, despite Devastator fighting Skidz/Mudflap and scaling the pyramid at the same time.

3) Both the red/purple and Pink Arcee bikes are shot/killed in the final battle, it is the blue one, Chromia that is unscathed.

4) Arcee's voice was practically identical to her G1 incarnation to me, even though she only had a couple of lines.

5) The Fallen/Megatron/Starscream dynamic is very well done, and the Fallen/Megatron relationship in particular is very reminiscent of the Emperor/Vader, even if the movie overall fails to capture the same sort of atmosphere as Empire Strikes Back.

6) There is a lot of robot dialogue, particularly from Prime, Skidz, Mudflap, the Fallen, Megatron and Starscream. Whilst Charlie Adler reprises the latter's role, Starscream's voice does sound different to me from the first movie.

7) You get several looks at Sideswipe, and he has a few lines. You do get clear looks at Jolt too, but he has no lines. He is much nicer looking than the deluxe toy suggests.

8) The Fallen is residing on the Nemesis to begin with, which is crashed on a planet adjacent to Saturn (it's never stated which though). I got a very Matrix-esque vibe from these scenes. Small Protoform's that Starscream calls "hatchlings" are being pumped out, but are dying due to the lack of Energon. I thought this was a nice touch, and obviously provides Megatron with a nice army to utilise if a source of Energon can be found for the third movie.

9) The was something a lot more organic about the bots this time round. Several of them are seen to breathe (you see their breath when they speak in the cold) and there is a lot more fluid involved - Starscream spits a couple of times, prime leaks fluid when his faceplate is smashed, as does Megatron when he loses half of his face.

I'm not going to deny that there are problems, and some of the humour might not be to everyone's tastes (I really enjoyed it personally) but it turned out better than I expected, and it is better than the first effort, if not quite there yet as the TF movie everyone wants.

And she is also the Voice Actor for Cliffords Emily Elizabeth and Scooby doo's Dafne
Grindor:
Is there any sign/mention of Bumblebee and Arcee being in love? or Chromia and Ironhide? or (I know its a long shot!) Moonracer and Ratchet?

Hell no.
The Arcee bots don't even interact with any other Autobots.

Yeah, he actually sounds like Charlie Adler! And it is AWESOME.
cluelessguy:
Just FYI to the threadauthor, although you HTRed the spoiler at the bottom of the cast list, you still left it blank when you listed the cast. Maybe you should get rid of that.

Then again, maybe it's better that the fans know that before they go see the movie, so they're not incredibly dissapointed.

That was scavanger acutally nto Demolishor, they have the same mode,
TF@TM:
Frank Welker also voices Devastator and Reedman in the movie.

Rampage does grunt out something when Sam is talking to him but you can't really make it out.

There's three people listed as "Prime" which is the flashback primes but I don't remember the names.

I enjoyed it more this time than on the 5th, and saw Bonecrusher in the end fight this time around which I missed the first time.

Cinema was still packed out and the jokes certainly went down well with the very mixed audience

I wonder who that is? Must be a voice over a comm channel, or something...

Quote:

Well, that'll be Michael York, Kevin Michael Richardson and someone else.

I expect everyone to be paying close attention to the credits when the movie hits the US!

If I remember rightly, Robin Atkin Downes (the telepath Byron from Babylon 5) was listed as one of the Primes.
DreadwindsGhost:
Personally, I thought Soundwave's voice fit him perfectly. A rasping whisper, devoid of any kind of emotion. And to be fair, I was never that much of a fan of his western voice, I've always preferred his Japanese voice.

And I did wonder about Jetfire; it didn't sound much like Tuturro to me. Well, it's good to see the Saracen from 'Robin of Sherwood' getting some recognition, finally.
realCliffjumper:
Nice to have real confirmation on the voices. I thought that the Sue Blu leaked info was wierd.
Red Frenzy:
Here is something funny. Over at CHUD.com Bay does a interview where he gives credit for the characterization of the twins to Tom Kenny. He said:

Quote:
'When you work with voice actors, especially with the twins, they did a lot of improv for their parts. We liked their improv and, from there, we would animate to their stuff. When you're doing character animation and you're building the character, it's not like an actor where you shoot the scene and you've got it and you move on. With animation, you get the dialogue and then some animation and then a bit more of the dialogue and you keep going back and forth and it just builds until you have the shot you want.'
So is he implying that Tom Kenny was chosen as Skids voice actor because how well he could improv? If that was the case why have a script for the movie at all? If Kurtzman and Orci gave ever Autobot specific dialogue which then had to be sacrificed due to actor improv why not give more screen time to the other Autobot's based on how well their voice actors did, why should Skids (Tom Kenny) get special treatment?

The article also goes on to say that Alex Kurtzman gives credit for the twins creation to Bay and he "followed his lead on those characters because he understood them best". Maybe that is why most of the Tom Kenny dialogue was completed first because Bay was more concerned with the Twins development opposed to any other Transformer.

Any youtube clips of his Japanese voice?

Don't know if anyone else is interested but me, But I knew I'd seen the guy who does Sideswipe's voice's name before. He's the voice of Ethan in the game Condemned 2.

No wonder this movie will suck despite its stelllar voice cast and special effects. You should've learned from George Lucas, Mr. Bay.
Astrotrain85:
I see the voice cast for ROTF and i think is great Frank Welker make the voice of Soundwave,even without the vocoder.I don`t know how the western voice sounds like,but i think it will be cool, better than his japanese voice(TFHeadmasters,see it on YouTube).

i didnt recognize the name but i know most of her work. imo shes the only one that couldve replaced mrs blu. from the looks of things, she didnt get too many lines though.

Demolishor's voice actor is Crispin Freeman!

oh ok, well i dont know if this sounds repetative, but are there more characters than what we've seen in trailers? sorry just curious
Grindor:
I've just seen the movie a couple days ago it was awesome! but Arcee(my fave character)had only one line(which sounded sexy), the other line was spokon by Moonracer, one of Arcee's other two sisters, and little screentime it was also left open if she and her sister Chromia died after being shot or not, also at the end Wheelie disapeared somewhere.With Sideswipe at the beggining after he killed Sideways the sisters were chasing him to, but after Sideswipe killed him he said something along the lines of ''everybody see that how cool am I'' he may have been flirting with one of the sisters as they may have a relationship together becuase the events of this movie are taking place two years after the first in which Optimus invited others to Earth so in those two years any of the robots could have been doing anything together (in their spare time as they work with NEST destroying decepticon threats) I also have a thoery about the multiple characters thing, during the final battle a bunch of protoforms come to Earth it may be possible that one or more protoforms scanned the vehicles of the constructicon's before they formed Devastator or something if not they are clone's like Grindor or if neither it will be explained in the dvd extra's or commentary or whatever.sorry for the somewhat lengthy post!
tehCal:
Arcee WAS all three bikes. So both lines were by her.
Grindor:
No shes not and no there not, that hasnt been confirmed, and if they were all Arcee then they wasted they're budget on making 2 additional characters that do nothing but follow around someone else its a waste. And if they are all the same character just to combine and become bigger its also a waste and they wouldnt have done it, they would have made Arcee a car or something bigger than a bike.
tehCal:
It has been confirmed. The toyline retconned it to sell more figures.

You can have your weird ideas about Sideswipe flirting with Moonracer or whatever, but regardless, Arcee is all three bots sharing one mind.
Grindor:
Maybe or maybe not or possibly or possibly not, anyway the pink one is still my favourite. Also i've heard people talking about Soundwaves voice I thought it was ok but still its not vocoded or whatever, although you can hear it faintly in his third appearance.(oh and that Sideswipe/Moonracer thing was a mates idea)
