    Keith David's voice is too dark for me to hear him as Prime. I think he'd be a great Megatron though.

    I might be a minority but if were having a TFA based Optimus Prime....David Kaye but since i also love his Megatron i don't know who would work best if i was writing it. .

    I like Crispin Freeman for a younger Optimus Prime and Clancy Brown as charistmatic, brillaint cunning Megatron.

    I could see either Keith David or Michael Dorn for a Older Optimus Prime and Maybe even Jim Cummings as Megatron.

    I loved Fred Tatasciore as Megatron so I'd choose him. Can't honestly say for Optimus.

    Scottie Ray or Ted Lewis as Megatron

    I wouldn't trade Frank Welker or Peter Cullen for anything.
    But, I can't help but put it out there that- well...
    They're getting pretty old. So spectulation for whom could voice them next is pretty well justified.
    Whoever voiced Bats for TAS should do Optimus, and I'm not sure who could voice Megatron.

    Would depend entirely on the characterization of them in the series. Thats how voices should be cast.

    Bruce Campbell as Optimus, Christopher Walken as Megatron, and what the heck, throw in Steve Buscemi as Starscream.
