Transformers Fall of Cybertron Voice Cast Revealed

Posted on 06-13-2012 at 05:43 PM by Sol Fury under Video Games

There's been a bit of buzz the last couple of days about the talent lending their voices to the Autobots and Decepticons featured in Transformers Fall of Cybertron - with reveals such as Troy Baker providing the voice of Autobot Jazz, and shockingly a non-Frank Welker voiced Soundwave! Gametrailers has the full story so far, with a list of actors and who they are playing - it's by no means exhaustive as we know that Perceptor also has a speaking role in the game, as does Onslaught and Blast Off. However, of the actors and roles confirmed so far, we have:

Peter Cullen - Optimus Prime
Greg Berger - Grimlock
Nolan North - Bruticus, Cliffjumper and Brawl
Troy Baker - Jazz, Jetfire, and Kickback
Fred Tatasciore - Megatron, Ratchet, and Metroplex
Steve Blum - Shockwave, Swindle, and Sharpshot
Isaac Singleton - Soundwave

Keep it TFW for more Fall of Cybertron news as it reaches us!

I had no idea he voice Jetfire and Zeta Prime, the two don't even sound alike. From what I can hear in the videos we've seen, Jazz sounds nothing like Zeta or Jetfire.

Dude's got fricking range, man.

Very good indeed! I really liked him in the last game, plus he was Schneizel on Code Geass and Greed on FMA Brotherhood. He's definitely got my approval.

And Two-Face from Batman: Arkham City & Lego Batman 2: DC Super Heroes.

HeroicC300

Wait, HE'S that one who sounds like Scatman resurrected?

Damn, this game just got better.

spiritprime

Wow! This is fantastic! When I heard Jazz's voice during the gameplay reveal, he sounded a lot like Scatman's voice. Troy Baker definitely has good range in voicing!

MaxxieOD

Wow really? Damn, he's got skills!

Omg, he's the Scoundrel in D3! Haha!

I Was Kinda Hoping for John DiMaggio to voice Jazz. He also does a Impression of the late Scatman Crothers (AKA Officer URL from Futurama). Plus if DiMaggio voiced him in Prime, it will be like the second time that Jazz is voiced by a Aquaman voice actor.

Hope this is fun.

Wow, that man has got some increeeedible range.

I feel so out of touch because I have no idea who that is.

I'd like to shake this guy's hand since he does such an excellent Scatman.

I didn't really know either, so I went and looked up his list of things he's done lol. Was pretty amazed.

Maverick Hunter Christian

Dude's getting up there as the new Steve Blum/Nolan North.

Autovolt 127

Well I would have wanted Phil LaMarr back as Jazz but I nonetheless welcome back Troy Baker.

Have you guys seen his voice roles in Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes you'll go holy crap! He was Whirlwind, Blizzard, Grey Gargoyle, Ulik, Constrictor, Glen Talbot, Sydren, Robbie Robertson, Groot and Michael Korvac.

moreprimeland

Sounds like we will have a snazzzy Jazz in FOC.

Dirge121

I'll echo the others in saying he has hella vocal range. Really liked his Jetfire.

Sideways77

Really? Nice. Troy Baker is a great VA.

Oh, and everybody is forgetting he did the voice of Two-Face and Robin in Arkham City.

(Jazz points a gun at Tigatron)
Any last words, kitty-cat?
Um, I'm not a slutty cat person. Sorry.

Autovolt 127

How is this not at all front paged? It's pretty big news.

Icespark

I'm stunned. I've known that Troy Baker has an excellent range, but, I thought it had been announced that Phil Larmarr was hired as Jazz, and had been watching the previews with that thought in my mind. If that is Baker, his mimicking of Scatman Crothers's vocal style is incredible! It's difficult to pull off the musical quality that was inherent in Scatman's voice, Baker is doing a fantastic job!

Stardust262

That man has a perfect voice range

Megatron31

I'm interested in swindles voice

Shatterpoint

AND Troy's Kickback too!?

SO MUCH RANGE!!!

Ezilla82

You know its a bummer Frank Welker isn't on this, but I guess they have their reasons.

Stardust262

Troy's Kickback?!?!?! No man can have that kind of range, he must be an alien

Nolan North being Bruticus isn't surprising

Cool to see Steve Blum reprising Shockwave. I'm interested to hear his Swindle and Shrapnel

Oh and Jetfire's back too, that's pretty cool

Can't wait to find out who's voicing Wheeljack and Perceptor (escepially since Perceptor sounded pretty good from that video of the Optimus campaign from a while ago)

silverbolt00

All these voice actors have all proven that they're brilliant at what they do, i just wish they would use more voice actors so we're not hearing the same voice for different characters. Steve Blum and Nolan North in particular are far too over used in video games these days. That said, as others have stated (Quite a few times so why should i not chip in) Troy Baker does have an incredible range with his voice tallent and isn't always easy to spot.

adamthered

Nolan North!

Icespark

Good grief, I never would have guessed that Troy Baker is Kickback!

Steve Blum as Shockwave is awesome! I can't wait to hear what voice he plans to use for Swindle; it should prove both excellent, and highly entertaining.

While I do enjoy the consistency, I'm also somewhat surprised that they're not having Greg Berger once again play Jetfire, in addition to Grimlock.

Nolan North's Brawl was great, I'm looking forward to hearing his Cliffjumper; it should be fun!

A side-note, it's nice to see that the Insecticons are being treated as characters, rather then just generic background troops, at least in the voice department.

Probably the same voice he uses on every video game role he gets.

PcPrime23

With Steve Blum as Shockwave in Fall of Cybertron, I bet he'll voice him in TFP.

LOL...

Cuz it's probably true, sadly.

Optimus1116

Wait a sec, Starscream isn't Steve Blum?

Opticron Primal

Blum has some good range. His voice just has this specific type of grittiness to it that makes it easy to pick out after hearing a few of his roles.

I hope he's the narrator this time around like he was in WfC, if they decided to stick with it that is.

Doesn't look like anyone is.
Did I miss something I don't see any voice actors listed for Starscream, or Bumblebee?
Is Bumblebee just going to boop and beep thorugh the game, I could have swore I heard him talk in one of the trailers.

Dr Kain

What? Nolan North and Steve Blum in a video game? No way!!!

If you want to hear him do something different with his voice, watch The Spectacular Spider-Man and Wolf's Rain. You will not realize he is Green Goblin at first.

Starscream is voiced by Sam Riegel, who also voiced him in WFC

Someone should tell Bumblebee that R2D2 called and said he wants his job back.

StarryAqua

I remember an interview a few months ago where it was revealed Sumalee Montano would be voicing a character in this game. I wonder if that's still true or just BS since Matt said no females in this game.

I'm kind of surprised Corey Burton isn't doing it: he's done his share of video games. He even did Shockwave in the Gamestop commercial!

I'm even more surprised there isn't any outcry over it. Ah well, maybe he'll be Shockwave in Prime. (HAH! Yeah, right.)

Who's Sharpshot?
Edit: Never mind. Why'd they have to rename the Insecticons, anyway?

Shrapnel. Hasbro doesn't have the Trademark to his name (or Bombshell's), so they're calling him Sharpshot instead.

Yup. I think it was just multiplayer lines though, but I'm not sure

I can live with that. I think he did a good job in WFC.

No. We already saw him the first level footage-- he's just completely silent, a la Snake-Eyes.

And I see a certain someone here still likes taking irrelevant potshots at any given opportunity.

That aside, I'm interested in hearing what Steve Blum would sound like as Shockwave, given that he only did grunts for him in WFC. He has a bigger role here, so I imagine he'd probably have some real lines.

Timothy.R

MY GOD. ENOUGH WITH THE BUMBLEBEE NOT BEING ABLE TO SPEAK GARBAGE it's stupid and unnecessary. goodness gracious.

this is supposed to be G1, not the movie or tf prime. . matt tieger went on and on about how this IS G1. bumblebee should speak. it would definitely go a long way for people who are sick of him to start warming up to him.

oh well.

i REALLY cannot wait 'til august. this game just looks like it's going to be incredible.

also, is the "Best in Show" award a big deal at the convention? or is it just whatever.
