James Avery Confirmed as Voice Actor for Transformers 3

....so hes a zombie?

YES !!! Awesome news!!!

That picture, man!

making people think others are dead

they make me sick

Awesome news. Should be interesting to see what Silverbolt looks like, along with the Ferrari-bot.

I never heard that the "died". Glad he's doing well. Uncle Phil is cool. He has a great voice. Can't wait to hear his one line in the movie.

Hell to the yes. Uncle Phil!

Maybe he did die, and there going to use old sound clips from the fresh prince.
WILL!!!

Now all we need is Will Smith and the actor as Jeffrey the Butler and we're all set.

Ah, so Silverbolt is Zombie Jetfire then.
All makes sense.

We also need carlton.

I will pay extra to see a robot doing that awesome Carlton dance.

How in the nutbunnies could I have forgotten about Carlton. His weird ass dance was hilarious.

This is awesome. I love Silverbolt. Will be awesome to see him for an elapsed time of 1:45 seconds screen time. =) I am kidding. Excellent news about him being alive and well and in TF3.

Maybe we can change the name of one of the twins to Will and he can get mad at them at some point of the movie. Then when he's is stressed he can call out for Optimus the same way he called out for Vivian.

Sweet. I hope he voices him in his Shredder voice.

Cool!

I think you just dropped some serious knowledge on my ass. Be right back, going to google.


edit: HOLY SHIT

pillowy mounds of mashed potatoes

But are we actually talking about the Aerialbot Silverbolt or a new creation?

The 'Turtle Soup" of the day

YAY! uncle phil! im glad it has been confirmed!

yesterday i was watching rotf and i put the commentary on and the scene where jetfire and the gang are on the big rock in egypt, michael bay said that he wasn't going to bring back jetfire in transformer 3 but he did say that he would have another character like him. maybe when he said that he already had the idea of putting silverbolt into this movie. but i if it is true i think it will just be silverbolt on his own without the rest of the arielbots and i can't think of anyone better than james avery for his voice.

What a disturbing photo.

Awesome news.

Interesting, i wonder how the character will be portrayed. And if he is even like his G1 self or the BW one. XD That will be so cool!
Thanks for the info!

cool hopefully silverbot retains hit plane altmode.

I guess Coach wasn't immune after all. Hes a zombie now.

oh,this is as awesome as pillowy mounds of mashed potatoes with a bowl of turtle soup on the side.

hope he gets some good lines,and hope the "mystery plane bot" is a interesting fellow as well.

This is one of the first bits of TF3 news I've actually been genuinely exited about.

Best news all day.

silverbolt huh maybe we will have superion hoping

Thats just messed up that someone would spread a rumor like that. Im glad he is doing well and cant wait to see his character in the movie

not funny.

very interesting news

I had no idea, some one actually confirmed he died last weekend, ironic because Robert O.Smith died Tuesday.

Anyway can't wait to see how Silverbolt turns out. I hope they do Onslaught also.

Hopefully Carlton will be Silverbolt's HA figure.

Sounds to me like Superion will be in TF3.

yes!!! i wonder if he is also a seeker like jetfire.

Oh wait let me guess, Silverbolt's a rusty, worn out, asthmatic, lanky-energon-addict... that also humps humans...?

uh... uncle phil died? where the hell was i?

I had to Google this as well! I had no idea. Effing sweet. I just watched License to Drive last night and he's one of the more memorable characters in the movie.

"You're lucky Anderson, the cup..........was EMPTY!!:::diabolical laugh::::

Definitely excited for Silverbolt. If they have Superion and or any other combiners, I hope they don't eff them up like Devastator.

... I sit here and wonder just how pathetically bored a person has to be to like about another person's death...

... I just don't understand it.

James Avery has the best voice I ever heard from an actor. Will be great to Silverbolt with his voice.

If we had a blackbird altmode, could we be getting a concord alt mode? That would be sick!!

I'm really glad to hear James Avery got a role! This is the first announcement for TF3 that I'm interested in! I'll be expecting a Shredder reference too! ....Please?

Hopefully the fact that VAs are being cast this early rather than May/June 2011 means that the bots won't be treated as afterthoughts this time around.

Sounds cool - wonder what Silverbolt would be like!

This could be good, I just hope this guy gets lots of lines. I don't want another "just here because" character like Jolt.
