Update
I thought I'd note the first "big" update that's been made to the game since this casting call. I made a small video for it for anyone who was wondering: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=28JJ1cV2oFw
Transformer Advanced is a fanmade Transformers multiplayer shooter, developed solely by me (on Roblox). I am trying to put together a shooter that feels distinct in and of itself, while also trying to get as close to an authentic Transformers game as possible. Though, there is a somewhat unruly amount of characters. I have put a voice to about 50% of would-be voice-havers into the game, the rest just have a generic placeholder. This Casting Call project is my attempt to fill out that missing other half.

This will be a voice used for various no-name troopers and the like. Anything can work, but it will probably end up sounding somewhat "soldier-like". Not gender specific and it is possible for multiple people to be cast in the role(s).
Incoming enemy fire! Keep your servos in high gear!
Move out, go! Go!
I will execute the mission without fail.
A role for various unnamed Medic units. Specifically a female version. Should sound generally caring and non-threatening, though it should not be apparent whether they are an Autobot or Decepticon. Again possible for multiple people to be cast in this role.
I need help! Provide covering fire!
No one will be left behind on my watch.
Rev up those engines, we have to move.
This is a specific character but I am hiding their identity for now. He is a high ranking member of the Decepticons, one who has a nasty superiority complex. He believes that he is "the next step in Cybertronian evolution". Most of his compatriots don't even really know if he is being serious or not. And he has a Scottish accent.
Move outta the way you old rust buckets! Your hardware is old and outdated, far from what I HAVE IN STORE FOR YOU!
Let's go! Keep your wheels turnin' while you still got 'em.
Will someone help me over here!?
I am hiding this character's Identity for now. He is what you may call the "strongman" archetype. He's a little bit stuck in "the old ways", so he tends to resent his younger teammates and likes to think they "have it easy", and lack discipline.
Ha! You think you can scare me with that? I've been flattening Decepticon chassis since before you were even a line of code.
What's the matter with you bots!? You ever heard of teamwork before!?
A bonified Autobot police officer. He is all about efficiency and effectiveness, even if he has to oppose his own team. That's why many of the other Autobots see him as bit of a prick, though his tactical skill cannot be understated. Underneath the surface, his stuck-up attitude is partly because he sort of resents having to give orders to his subordinates, when he really sees them as equals, though not wanting that to show. The voice I would like to be similar to his counterpart form the 'Transformer: Animated' series, while I've listed his personality being closer to the G1 iteration, I like to believe he is destined to become more like the Animated version.
Do I have to do everything myself!?
Stop right there, Decepticons!
You better get yourselves over here and help me with this objective, I'm not going to ask again.
Ratchet is the Autobot's chief Medic. She has a bit of a bad temper, and she'll go from happy-as-can-be to furious if you just so much as look at her the wrong way. Though most bots don't blame her, she's been through a lot, the war has never been too kind to those just trying to keep everyone alive. She also likes to dabble in the science/engineering side of things, though not officially trained for it, she does find solace in her various projects. (And yes I have genderbent this version of the character)
Looks like I still got it!
And the things I do for this team... All I ask for is an ounce of respect!
The more medics we got here, the better.
Based on the character from 'Transformers: Robots In Disguise (2001)' of the same name. He is an immature speed demon, with a strange obsession for red sportscars. He's probably not fit for the battlefield, but you must admit, he's got style!
I'm too fast for my own good!
Keep it in gear! The Autobot-train never stops!
Oh, what!? We're fighting? Sorry, I was just caught in a daydream... Oh, sorry! Almost zoned out again there.
Doubledealer is a mercenary who is currently working for the Autobots. He is a master of deception, and uses this skill to hide amongst the Decepticon's ranks, how ironic. The voice should sound deep and/or gravelly.
Sorry, but I've been payed to betray you.
What, you thought you could trust me just cause I had a purple badge on?
Well, you win some, you lose some, and you, my friend... have lost.
Based on the version of the character from 'Transformers: Earthspark'. She is a sneaky Decepticon soldier. Though she is immature and not that bright. She needs to have the other Decepticons to bring out her combat skills, cause without them she'd be a pretty worthless soldier.
Strike when the enemy isn't looking.
You Autobots oughta improve your flight skills.
Haha! You should've seen the look on your face! Oh wait never mind, you're dead now.
Based on the character from 'Transformers: Cybertron'. A pretty average Decepticon seeker, though he is not a very good decision-maker. He isn't so sure about the whole "Decepticon thing", so mind the fact he doesn't always want to be in the fight, he's mostly in it because he enjoys flying.
Are the Autobots accepting applications?
Ah well, looks like we lose. Hows about we just pack our bags and go, huh?
Why don't ya' just scan a new alt-mode, clearly flying isn't your strong suit.
Design wise I've based him off of pretty much all past versions of the character. Voice wise I imagine him to be a generally mysterious dude, who talks low and not very often. It's a bit of a far cry from the G1 version, but that's what I get from the whole mask look. Just a cool sounding dude, but you'd probably be a little afraid to approach him.
I'd say that went quite well.
Ahh, sweet, sweet velocity. I live for times like this.
Agh! Why do I even bother...
A real fun guy to be around, he tries to make everybody laugh! Though you get the feeling he's only doing such to get you to let your guard down... Nobody really knows what going on with Hubcap, his fellow Autobots generally don't trust him, but he seems to do his job as a Scout well enough.
Weapons can win battles, but words can win wars.
Hey... Buddy, pal, ole friend... Let's just forget about any, err... past mistakes! Energon under the Space-Bridge, as they say, huh?
Bumper is a young Autobot Scout fresh out of boot-camp! He seems overly excited to join the war effort, to his allies dismay. He is what you'd call a fanboy, and can't quite control his giddiness around the more acclaimed bots.
I'm ready to do my part! Whatever it takes!
Wow, I mean, just wow! I can't believe it, you and me... like partners in crime. I've dreamt this day would come.
In game he acts as an Autobot Scout. But outside he acts as a bodyguard. He has a outwardly upbeat demeanor, despite carrying a lot of trauma. I imagine the voice sounding like Cliffjumper from 'Transformer: Animated'. (Though I say that knowing his voice wasn't very consistent in that show.)
It might not look it, but trust me, my defense is inpentrable.
Decepticons straight ahead, weapons ready!
She is basically (or literally) a female version of Starscream. So look to Starscream's voice and personality and apply that to a feminine voice. Or base it off of her voice in 'Transformers: Animated'.
You've got some nerve showing yourself here.
Don't make me do this alone! Get over here!
Seekers, follow me!
There's 8 Constructicons here. While they are distinct characters, to be honest they are not very compelling and tend to blend together, the G1 versions at least (to me). So I've made one role for that and for the sake of keeping the page tidy. I'm open to casting multiple people here, but essentially the voice can be any kind of 'blue-collar construction worker' sounding voice. I know, not a great description, but I like to let people come up with their own ideas!
Constructicons! Merge to form Devastator!
Autobots... always tryna' put hard-workin' bots like us down. Just disappointin'.
Group up! We can't let the Autobots destroy that frame.
Silverbolt is the headstrong commander of the Aerialbots. I'd like him to sound very chivalrous and polite, which is very much inspired by the character from 'Beast Wars' of the same name.
Don't look down, look straight ahead!
Aerialbots, lets link up and form Superion!
I am honored to command such an excellent unit.
Quite inspired by the character from 'Transformers: Victory'. Though the show was in Japanese, so if you think you could pull off a English voice similar to that, that could work. He can have a bit of a Japanese accent, but it's not not a requirement. Here he should be younger than in the Victory series. Basically, he is a badass swordsman and Autobot commander, and he is just really cool!
Battle up! Saber Blade!
The end of your story has already been written, Decepticon.
My allies give me my strength, but that's not something you would ever understand.
Based on Shatter from the movie 'Bumblebee'. A cruel and cunning Decepticon Officer, she wants nothing but the total Destruction of the Autobot cause, without a hint of remorse.
Thank you... 'friend'.
A shame, you deserved a better death.
We might actually make it out of here alive if you all quit behaving like children!
Based upon the character from 'Transformers: Cyberverse'. An overall angsty and whiny Decepticon. She seems perpetually pissed off at something or another, which for her allies can be grating to be around, but it's not like they understand her anyway (and I don't mean she's unintelligible).
You're not going anywhere, Autobot.
Yeah, well... Good point.
Somebody repair me before I'm in pieces!
Swindle is a veritable businessman. Well more of a (Decepti) Con-man. His investment in the politics of the war he's involved himself in is questionable, but what isn't questionable is the sheer opportunities brought by war profiteering! Swindle will sell weapons to any bot as long as the price is right. He's got a particular knack for anything explosive. He'd even go as far as passing through the Quadwal cluster to sell things to any 'players' of the so-called 'Transformers Advanced', just for a quick buck.
If you order now I'll throw two extra rockets at your face, completely free!
Free Energon! Get your free Energon cubes right here! I guarantee you, they are in no way rigged to explode!
I picked up these ole explosives back on Nebulos, nice folks, the Nebulons.
Smokescreen is an all around chill dude. Though his charisma is his greatest weapon, which he'll often use to obfuscate the true intentions of him and his Autobot comrades. But never truly knowing his intentions can make him both a worrying ally and enemy.
A look can be deceiving; a touch can be lethal.
Whoa there, how about everyone just chill out. How about we talk this out, BEFORE everyone frags each other.
You and me gotta team up more often, I feel like we really got something going here.
Powerglide is a showoff. He loves to flex his aerial skills, even if those skills serve no use in combat. He likes to head right into the action, so he is a little reckless, but underneath all that showiness he's really a cinnamon roll. And he has joined the Aerialbots to form the head of the combiner Superion!
And aaaaa-way we go!
You're not so bad yourself, kid.
It's BIG robot time! And I----'ll form the head! Hm... don't worry I'll think of a better catchphrase later.
