    @Matrix Soul: Holy sh*t..Im seein it alright. I mean over the years even full CG cartoon characters sorta resemble (rather subtly) the faces of their respective voice actors. IMHO.

    I actually yelped when I read the front page reporting this. Let's put it this way, it was in a register I have reached since my voice changed. Incredible news for DOTM. Shit's getting serious here...

    Whenever a voice actor is cast, my reaction is always the same: at least the character has lines! Fantastic casting, though. You can actually see subtle hints of Nimoy in the character’s face. Now all we need is a voice for Shockwave.

    Also, I like Bay’s comment about the robots having “more character” and about understanding their struggle, even the bad guys. Gives me a lot of hope.

    That's two people who should know denying the "Nimoy filled in for Wells" rumor. Can we finally lay it to rest?

    Awesome news!

    If Bay is going for "gravitas" with Sentinel Prime, he definately hit the nail on the head with this one - especially since Walter Cronkite and Johnny Cash have passed.

    If this is someone's *cough* Bay *cough* idea of a joke, heads will roll... Because this is awesome news. To be honest, I wasn't looking forward to Sentinel Prime, but if Leonard Nimoy really is voicing him, i'll change my mind.

    Oh goodness. You should have heard the sound I made at the mere thought of that *geek snort*.

    Now if you''ll excuse me, i'm off to find the salt before I start believing it...

    My dad actually had dinner with Mr. Nimoy a few times! One of his friends from back in California, where we used to live, was Nimoy's cousin, and so, on occasion, they had dinner together! How cool is that?
