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 just hope Steve Blum is recovered from doing the "Zombie Voice" in Saints Row 3.
UltraAlanMagnus
Feels like he is Talking to himself.
Autovolt 127
But Fred Tatasciore is already Trypticon.
I wanted Phil LaMarr to voice Metroplex but they got Tatasciore who i like but he's always the go to brute plus he's already Omega Supreme and Trypticon.
UltraAlanMagnus
Or Better yet, Trypticon!

John DiMaggio would be a fantastic Wheeljack
Maybe Phil LaMarr is one of the Dinobots?
Autovolt 127
I hope John DiMaggio vocies Wheeljack.
Also wasn't the Phil LaMarr rumor made back at BotCon by one of the staff that both he and Nolan north both voiced together?Then i now read the same thing but with Troy Baker replaced? Hmm I wonder.
UltraAlanMagnus
John DiMaggio was Rumored to voice Jazz before Phil Came by. Wonder if he is in the Game.
Autovolt 127
Based on what I heard in the Kotaku Trailer, it sounds like Tom Kane will voice Perceptor but i doubt it now.
I'm sad that Corey Burton couldn't come back but Steve Blum will probably do a better job than what he did in WFC.

Seems like High Moon loves Nolan North, Fred Tatasciore, and Steve Blum to death.
While I would've preferred Phil LaMarr as Jazz (as was rumored, I think), Troy is pretty incredible, sounding like the old Scatman himself.
Disappointed at the lack of Corey Burton or Fred Willard for Shockwave and Swindle. Blum sounds like he's channeling Paul Dobson's Obsidian as this Shockwave, which is still cool. And I doubt Swindle has a large role anyway.
Colonel Manface
I really don't like Sam Riegel at Starscream. Or Fred Tatasciore as Megatron, but I think for the latter, that's more down to direction than anything else, 'cause he's usually really good. I mean, his take on Megatron just sounds so… generic.

Brawl is Nolan North, and Vortex sounds likes he's voiced by Crispin Freeman.
Stardust262
And Wheeljack, Hardshell, and Perceptor. And every Dinobot except Grimlock
We know Brawl is voiced by Nolan North
D-Unit
Why is it so shocking Welker didn't voice Soundwave? He didn't voice him in the last game either, so I wasn't expecting it. At least it seems like most of the guys from the first game had the same voice actors
Muramasa
I suppose things would have to remain consistent as far as the voice actors go.
CryoPrime
It'll probably be fine.
Meta777
Troy Baker is Kickback, Jazz and Jetfire all at the same time? Holy crap, I had no idea he could stretch his voice that far around! Awesome!
Steve Blum is Swindle, that's freaking epic. And he's Sharpshot/Shockwave as well. Steve sure likes the guys whose names start with S
We got good old Nolan rocking as Brawl/Bruticus, as well as Cliff! Peter and Gregg have Optimus and Grimlock again, neato, and Sam's back for Starscream.
Cool! Can't wait to play as all of them
Prime Jetscream
I forgot what he sounded like… Gotta play some more Escalation some time.
MaxxieOD
I don't remember who did Jazz in WfC, but it was meh. I don't think they were trying much for voices of toons who only were in the multiplayer stuff.
Prime Jetscream
Yeah, but the Escalation ones are supposed to be the actual characters with their actual voices…
