    as much as i love all of the voices from the first 3 live action movies, i do think there would be other actors who would have been perfect for these particular roles in these movies

    now dont get me wrong. i loved mark ryan as jetfire but i think it would have been absolutly hilarious if they had casted Brian Blessed as jetfire. his very powerful and outrageous voice perfectly suits the old and cranky design of movie jetfire (for those of you who are unfamiliar with mr blessed i have linked a clip of him doing some snooker commentary on an episode of Room 101)

    i also think if shockwave had a few more lines of dialouge in dark of the moon, Benedict Cumberbatch (of star trek, sherlock and soon to be hobbit fame) would have delivered a very serious, frightning and eerie sounding shockwave voice (especially during the first encounter in Russia)

    ever since we saw the photos of the red fire engine on the set of dark of the moon and most people suggested it would end up being sentinel prime or ultra magnus, i always thought that Sir Ian Mckellen would be perfect for the older mentor type character

    let me know what you think about these suggestions in the replys and if you have any ideas for any TF character recasts by all means post your sugesstions below

    Lets see, Antonino Banderas (possibly misspelled) as Mirage/ Dino, James Earl Jones as the The Fallen, Nolan North as Jolt.

    For the most part I wouldn't care to recast the voices. However, if I'm given free reign over it I'd put Frank Welker in as Megatron in a hot minute. He could do the voice Prime Megatron style.

    I think Jetfire would be swearing a lot more if he was.

    Roger Craig Smith as Mirage/Dino, so I can truly call him Ezio-Bot. :p  Frank Welker as Megatron (of course).

    I wouldn't mind Sean Connery as Jetfire.

    Brian Blessed really needs to voice a Bot before the end of the trilogy IMHO...

    I have to be honest, Mark Ryan as Bee never really felt right to me. Like many others, I saw Bee as a younger character...I'm just not sure who would have been suitable to be a young Bee though. I did love his Jetfire voice....

    When I heard Mark Ryan's Bumblebee voice, I honestly thought it was Max Von Sydow. If you listen to it, "I'd like to stay... With the boy" and listen to a clip of Max, it sounds very similar. I love Max Von Sydow, but the voice just isn't right for Bumblebee. Not that it matters, I don't really see Hasbro letting go of the R2B2 concept in the movieverse, like, ever.

    Bumblebee - Ewan McGregor (If they want him British fine, but give him a younger sounding voice. I was thinking Ewan for his role as Rodney Copperbottom from Robots would work)

    Jazz - Phil LaMarr

    Barricade - Keith David (Like how it should have been)

    Blackout - David Sobolov

    Brawl - John DiMaggio

    Bonecrusher - Fred Tatasciore

    Skids and Mudflap - Simon Pegg and Nick Frost (Because they would have made those two epic instead of infamous)

    Shockwave - Tom Kane (Ultron, from Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes)

    Nicholas Hoult as Bumblebee. BEFORE ANYONE FUCKING SAYS "OH THE TOOL WHO RUINED BEAST IN X-MEN FUCK THAT GUY" LET ME EXPLAIN...

    His role in Warm Bodies was AMAZING. Not that the character was superbly written (though that may play a factor...writing actually wasn't too bad in that movie), but just the way he played it...he's a very pitiable character, and a badass one as well. He's also very young, so that could work to the advantage of Bumblebee.

    We are having a talking Bumblebee, right? Because his not-talking-tee-hee-so-cute shtick is fucking annoying, right?

    Other than that, Vin Diesel as Bulkhead, Ralph Fiennes or Gary Oldman or someone equally British and eloquent as Megatron, Kendrick Lamar as Blaster (weird fanboy fantasy of mine...his voice just sounds cool, idk), Watsky as Blurr (along same lines as Kendrick...Watsky is just one FAST rapper), Jamie Foxx as Jazz, Bill Nighy as Shockwave...that's just my fantasy picks. Have more, can't remember them, lol.

    Oh, and Tommy Wiseau as Wheelie. "You are tearing me APART, Optimus!"

    I think Morgan Freeman should be Bumblebee's inner voice. Just because radio speak would have been way funnier if his thoughts sounded like Morgan Freeman but then he had to find a way to put something in a song or radio clip.

    Might have been nice to have David Kaye as Megatron again. Beast Wars Megatron just had a flair and a style that could helped some of Megatron's lines in the movies.

    Mark Hamill is always a good choice. It seems like he's work as a voice actor on just about everything since he's got so much range and has a ton of tricks to make a voice stand out.

    I believe Shia Labeouf could have easily voiced all of the characters in all 3 movies, and that's what I would like to see.

    With the changes to bulk up Ironhide's robot mode Micheal Clarke Duncan would have made for a really good Ironhide. His voice and that robot mode would have been an excellent combination.
