Along with releasing a few more screenshots of the upcoming TRANSFORMERS video game, Activision shared some exciting news for fans today.  Legendary voice actors Peter Cullen and Frank Welker, the original voices of Optimus Prime and Megatron from the animated series, are set to star as the lead characters in TRANSFORMERS: The Game.  I’m personally jazzed up for this news!  Adding these guys to the mix has increased my interest in this game.

“As TRANSFORMERS fans, we knew the importance of having the well-known voices of OPTIMUS PRIME and MEGATRON in the game,” said Laird Malamed, head of production, Activision, Inc.  “Peter and Frank’s signature voices bring the characters to life and will immerse a whole new generation of enthusiasts in the epic battle between the AUTOBOTS and DECEPTICONS.”

Based on “TRANSFORMERS,” the upcoming live-action feature film due out on July 4th from DreamWorks Pictures and Paramount Pictures, in association with Hasbro, TRANSFORMERS: The Game lets players choose to protect the Earth
as AUTOBOTS or destroy it as DECEPTICONS.  Playing as OPTIMUS PRIME, BUMBLEBEE, MEGATRON, BARRICADE and others, gamers will experience the unstoppable power and massive scale of their favorite ROBOTS IN DISGUISE as
they battle for Earth.
