    Voice actor Neil Kaplan, the voice of Optimus Prime in the Robots In Disguise Transformers cartoon will make his voice be heard in the upcoming Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen video game, giving voice to the characters Long Haul and Protectobot. Kaplan recently made the announcement on his Facebook page:

    "I am THRILLED to announce my return to the "Transformers Universe". This summer you can find my work on "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen". This brilliant video game is from the geniuses at Activision. I play both sides of the fence as Decepticon - Long Haul and Autobot - Protectobot. So... I can help you save or destroy the Earth. Just try to let me know ahead of time... nothing worse then tearing down what was meant to be saved.


    Your Buddy,
    Neil Kaplan"

    That's neat. It would be really cool to have the guy who did BW and Armada Prime in the movie too!

    I asked him if it meant he was going to voice Long Haul in the movie and he said "Just the video game. THIS time around :) " Here's hoping he'll get a gig for TF3. But kudos to Activision for getting one of the best VAs in the business, and one the nicest guys in the world!

    i loved his version of Optimus Prime, after pretty much only ever having two voice actors before him. sadly i got 4 favourite VA that makes me think prime, mind you he is one of them. glad to have him back though.
