Fair warning to super spoilers awaiting you after the read more if you have not yet seen the Bumblebee movie!
Wheeljack, Arcee, Optimus Prime, Soundwave, and Starscream are among the dramatis personae of the opening sequence, as fully intended by director Travis Knight:
“It was complete wish-fulfillment for me,” Knight says. “The whole film was a joy to make and there were obviously a lot of pressures and whatnot, but as I look back it really was a creative and rewarding experience. The moment of high-spirited joy, the most giddy I ever was, was when we were doing the Cybertron sequence. It was just such complete fun.”

What a concise, poignant, and level-headed perspective. Glad we had people like you and Trav working on the film.

Those are some words i can get by, I mean i have negatives for the films. but they are the reason why i love TF and the mythology, i just hope we can see more stories for Bee, Like the story of Orion Pax

I did the original voice as best I could do it. I prefer to keep my opinions on the previous films to myself and look for the positive things like the action and the voices. There’s things to like in the movies for TF fans even if they’re not what we all envisioned. He didn’t make them for us. He made them for movie fans. He’s great at big action, explosions, CG-eye candy and shaky cams. When it comes to military movies, he’s good. I don’t like to dwell on the negative. The movies helped the franchise to continue. The franchise continuing and going strong is all I care about.

Did you give ol Ironhide his Southern Accent? And What was your opinion on the bay films?
jon3pnt0
Thankfully I got to hear ALL the voices I recorded in the screening including Ironhide. It was a dream come true.

Either way keep kicking butt. Hopefully we get to hear your Ironhide on BluRay and we get to hear more of your work in the sequal movies.

I’m not a celebrity! I’m just an avg Joe with a cool job. It’s the job that’s famous, not I.

Wait, who is he?
Edit : just found out, he's a voice actor! Didn't knew about him.
Rob
Cool getting a reply from a celebrity
Your Soundwave and Shockwave was spot on

I did him exactly how he sounded in G1 but was hoping Cullen would voice him since he was already going to voice Optimus but his one line got cut.

Oh i know. The red made sense for Ratchet but the model screams Prowl imho. Also Ratchet's horns are either grey on white, or white on red, while Prowl's are distinctly red on white and separated. Could be a case of a Starscream-looking "Blitzwing". About the potential Warpath, i dont know if it's saturation or whatever but the color on the photos seems a bit light orange as opposed to the bloodred im used to seeing him in. I was gonna go for Huffer, but that doesn't make sense either because of the model used. Warpath makes more sense i guess.

My 10yo daughter and I both thought that was Prowl in the foreground, when chatting about the film afterwards. I can see Ratchet too, though… in fact Travis is the kind of guy who'd have put the shoulder guns in if it was Prowl

Warpath. Though if any other extra bots were in that scene then they didn’t escape Cybertron as no one else was seen escaping and running to the pods. Plus there was no other bots in the second Cybertron scene except Prime & bee in his pod.
