Activision signs up original Optimus Prime and Megatron voices for Transformers: The Game
Optimus Prime and Megatron are all set for a happy reunion for the multiplatformer game version of the classic 80s cartoon, Transformers. The voice actors, that is.
Yep, it’s been confirmed. Prime voice actors Peter Cullen and Frank Welker have given their nods to reprise their roles as Autobots leader, Optimus Prime, and Decepticons head bot, Megatron for Transformers: The Game. And it was a very smart decision to make on the part of Activision, indeed. Says Activision’s production head Laird Malamed, “As Transformers fans, we knew the importance of having the well-known voices of Optimus Prime and Megatron in the game.”
Transformers: The Game is set to head out to retail stores this summer, with Traveller’s Tales doing the work for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Wii, PS2, and PC version. Meanwhile, Savage Entertainment is working at the helm for the PlayStation Portable version, and Vicarious Visions is responsible for the development of the DS versions.
So, while those companies are still busy tuning up them bots for Transformers: The Game, why don’t you go check out this clip from the original Transformers series, where Optimus Prime and Megatron engages in a heated up battle? With the 80’s rock music having that cheesy signature 80s lead guitar riffs playing in the background, this is sure to be one big blast from the past.
