Hello all! Zerorider here and I am looking for voice actors to play the role of various characters in a few Transformers audio dramas/audio reads from the IDW comic books. Such titles include the four issue Drift miniseries from 2010, Spotlight Cliffjumper, and the Combiner Hunters one shot. Spotlight Drift will be covered as well, though at a later point in time. Before you audition, please make sure that you would be committed to such projects and won't disappear without warning so if you don't think this will be feasible then please don't audition. If there's a future story that will be covered and your character appears in it, you will be asked to reprise your role.
Requirements before auditioning:
-Have a good quality microphone.
-No robotic effects/filters. I want to hear what YOU sound like.
-Unless stated in the descriptions, no impersonations of any past interpretations of the characters. Try your own take and have fun with it.
-Be reliable and available.
In addition to these projects, an audio read of both Last Stand of the Wreckers and the fan favorite More Than Meets The Eye are being worked on as we speak. I'll post a link to a preview for MTMTE below to give you an idea of what these productions will sound like. And that should be it. Have fun auditioning. If you have any questions, please ask away.

Hello! Due to reasons of which more characters need to be cast, two of these roles will be moved to another casting call, as they take priority over the other roles. I'll still keep the rest here for the time being. I apologize for the inconvenience to everyone.
I am putting the remaining characters that have yet to be cast up for auditioning again. The role of Braid is the only one that I'm still waiting on a callback audition for even though it says that role is closed, but everyone else is available to audition for.
Hello all!
I sincerely apologize for not updating this project sooner. A few weeks ago I've been extremely ill due to an illness and these last few weeks I've been preoccupied with some real life stuff. However, I am happy to say that I am back on track with the project and have already begun casting people. To those who have been cast, congratulations and I will be getting into contact with you soon. To the roles that haven't been cast, I am going to keep a few of those up for a while longer and will be doing some callback auditions for a few other roles that have yet to be cast as well. Thank you for your patience and I thank each and every one of you for auditioning!
A Decepticon soldier who tracked down Cliffjumper along with the rest of his troops. He’s determined to hunt him down, even if he has to kill innocent civilians to get to him.
Voice Type: Medium-low, low, rough
Autobots! Show yourselves! Show yourselves or we kill this… thing!
They won’t come. You’re what the Autobots refer to as “acceptable losses.” They preach morality but show little difference from us… save weakness.
(Surprised) Only one of you?! Where are my warriors? There were three of them. There’s one of you… and you’re tiny!
A Decepticon who was called in for an Autobot sighting on the planet Mir. He’s unpleased that it’s only one and is rather annoyed by the Decepticon who called him in the first place.
Voice Type: Medium-low, low, rough
One?! You called us here for one Autobot?!
(Annoyed) Take care of this yourself. Stop wasting my time.
(Alarmed) Arm yourselves! Hurry!
A member of Starscream’s secret police, who are known as the Cybertronian Security Force. His orders are to guard the Enigma of Combination and he’ll do everything he can to complete his mission.
Voice Type: Medium, medium-low
No. The chosen one told me to stand at attention.
(Groaning, waking up) What happened? Where’d that ‘bot go?!
We have to report this to Starscream.
A member of the Circle of Light who resides in Crystal City, away from the civil war. He helped repair Deadlock when Wing brought him into their home. Seeing as this character only has one line, the audition will be used in the final episode so treat this particular audition as part of the recording process.
Voice Type: Medium-low, low
We rebuilt you, Decepticon. Your life was saved.
A member of the Circle of Light who helped build the new Crystal City. Protective of his home, his commitment to pacifism is strong as is his physical strength, though it would soon be tested upon the arrival of Drift and the threat of outside attacks. His primary weapon is his axe.
Voice Type: Medium-low, low, rough
His very presence could potentially bring more Decepticons here and with them the war we’ve fought so long to avoid.
I will go with Wing. I will fight.
They'll have none of you, Drift. If you plan on betraying us, now’s the time.
A Cybertronian who left his home to save the planet’s ancient culture. He followed the likes of Dai Atlas and others to the planet Theophany in which they built a settlement underground in order to hide from the civil war between the Autobots and the Decepticons and named it Crystal City after the old lost city on Cybertron. Unlike Dai Atlas who is committed to defending themselves and their society, Wing sees the concept of helping others in need as a basic tenet of life. Because of this, the rest of the Circle of Light has been put off by him, but this did lead him to discover Deadlock. Seeing someone in need of aid, he will do whatever it takes to bring him to the right path.
Voice Type: Medium, medium-low
I don’t need to know you to mean you no harm. I am your ally. My name is Wing.
(Training Drift) Too slow. We’ve been at this for weeks. You’re still too obvious with your attacks. Hide your intentions.
I told you when we first met, helping another is the highest cause one can aspire to. I do it because I think it’s right.
A member of the Circle of Light who ends up joining the fight against the Slave Traders in order to protect Crystal City. Like most of the Knights, his primary weapons are his swords.
Voice Type: Medium, medium-low
(Impressed) Oh, ho! A new look!
You ready to go, Drift? You must have gone into battle like this countless times.
A Decepticon who was a part of Deadlock’s squad who attacked the Autobots on the planet Dabola. Despite their victory, he’s rather upset about disobeying Turmoil’s orders.
Voice Type: Medium, medium-low
Rejoice all you like. Turmoil will not be happy.
Orders were no firing unless fired upon, Deadlock. Here you are again, disobeying orders.
A native from the planet Mir. She and her younger brother, Coll, live a simple life on a farm together after having lost their parents to a disease. Kita is very peaceful, but also very naïve as she believes that people who harm others are evil, no matter what their reasons are.
Voice Type: Medium, medium-high, gentle, kind
(Friendly) I didn’t think so. You don’t look as though you’d hurt people.
(Saddened) To hurt another being—to us—there is no greater evil that can be done.
(Upset, begging) Do not hurt him. He just wants to find his friends.
A member of the Circle of Light who decides to join the fight against the Slave Traders and defend Crystal City. He, along with most of the warriors, wield swords in battle.
Voice Type: Medium, medium-low, formal
(Questioning Drift) Why are you on our side?
Dai Atlas, they will find us. Surely you see that.
You said it yourself. We are the guardians of Cybertron’s culture. If that cannot be sacrificed, then we must.
A strong, serious, and thoughtful commander of her team the Torchbearers: a team of “Rust Renegades” from Caminus, explorers who seek out Cybertronian artifacts and preserve them. She is dedicated to the Mistress of Flame and excels at making difficult choices for her team. Whoever is cast will also have to voice the Combiner, Victorion. Vocal effects for her will be applied in the final product.
Voice Type: Medium-low, low
Stop! I won’t risk a Cityspeaker’s life for some trinket.
We... are sorry we attacked you, Cybertronian. The change was… jarring for us. But do not call us an abomination. We have been changed. It is our duty now to figure out if that change is for good or ill.
(As Victorion) We—I—am Victorion! And you will step back from the Enigma, or I will blast you to pieces.
A slave trader who’s on a mission for immortality by upgrading his species' physiology through genetic and technological augmentation. He and the rest of his group known as Slavers kidnap other species, study them, and add desirable traits to their own bodies. He admires the resilience of the Cybertronian race and wants nothing more than to add aspects of their physiology to his own, no matter who gets hurt or killed in the process.
Voice Type: Medium, medium-low
I'm glad you felt you could trust us. I can imagine you mustn’t have felt very safe after our last meeting.
I don’t need you. Your heroic “friends” will do. They’re clearly not Decepticons, so you shouldn’t mind.
You can hardly stand. What can you possibly hope to do, Decepticon?
This Torchbearer isn’t one for subtlety as she has trouble acting with moderation. Once she makes up her mind, it’s best to work with her rather than against her due to the fact that she won’t be swayed to change her mind. Even in the heat of battle, she’ll more than likely start something. While the other Torchbearer members worry about her, they feel secure knowing that all that passion and fury is on their side.
Voice Type: Medium, medium-low
(Excited) Yes! Adventure!
(Troubled) Not now. Not yet.
She has a tendency to choose ruthless violence over peaceful actions and this concerns her more pacifist sister, Skyburst. Stormclash will consider almost every course of action, no matter how ugly or aggressive they may be.
Voice Type: Medium, medium-high
(Shocked) A Cityspeaker?!
(Finishing Skyburst's sentence) Unified. Well, more so.
A commander in the Decepticon forces who is in charge of a battlecruiser with a dozen members onboard. He prefers to use his arm cannon in battle, which has aided him in sneak attacks; he would remain quiet and wait for his enemies to reveal themselves. His second in command was Deadlock, but since he ran he wants nothing more than to have the pleasure of destroying him himself.
Voice Type: Medium-low, low, deep
Shoot your mouth off, give your position away. Amateurs.
Spread the word. Deadlock has been banished. Kill on sight.
Do it. Kill me. Kill me and run. Prove you’re nothing more than what you were when you left.
A Torchbearer who believes in justice, restraint, morality, and mercy. She is a skilled warrior, but only fights when the cause is for the greater good and as an absolute last resort. Though, her ideals contrast to that of her more aggressive twin sister, Stormclash, and they have a habit of finishing each others' sentences.
Voice Type: Medium, medium-low
(Shocked) Sweet Solus Prime! She hit...
We were more than that. We were...
A Cybertronian who was homeless during the pre-war days of Cybertron. Despite this, he often remained optimistic even when the Senate’s corruption spread throughout the city. While he would resort to stealing for his own survival, his compassion led him to the likes of Drift and other ‘bots who lacked a home, so he banded them all together in small groups in order to give them hope and friends.
Voice Type: Medium, medium-high
Calm down, Drift. We steal. We break the law. As far as the system is concerned we’re the bad guys.
(Trying to diffuse a heated situation) Hey! Come on, there’s no need to…
Her alt mode is a motorcycle and her reflexes often send her racing off at the merest possibility of an enemy. She’ll more than likely race into danger as opposed to out of it, but a moving target is harder to hit in her line of thinking. Rust Dust might end up taking her teammates on a wild goose chase, but she means well.
Voice Type: Medium, medium-low
Ma'am, do you see that?
(Running towards the Enigma) No!
Perhaps if the Enigma was hidden, kept safe on Caminus…
During the course of the war, Cliffjumper embraced the path of a warrior like so many other Autobots did. He became a weapons expert; skilled in both range and melee combat. Because of this, he earned himself the role as an assassin and it became one he took to quite easily. However, despite his confidence as a fighter, he does have a soft spot. This begins to surface when he encounters some natives on the planet Mir and befriends them. Despite attempting to walk the path of peace, deep down he knows it can’t last forever.
Voice Type: Medium, medium-low
I'm one of the good guys, Kita. You know, tomorrow—since I’ll be here a while—why don’t we start on fixing up this farm of yours?
(Doubtful, unsure) I’m not used to this. I can hardly remember a time when it was so… so peaceful. When there wasn’t… (Sigh)
(Aggressive) Nice ship… I think I’ll take it!
She is loyal to Pyra Magna to a fault and is willing to sacrifice herself if need be. Fortunately, her commander has been kind enough to offer her training so that scenario won’t ever come to pass. Jumpstream also has the ability of teleportation, a handy trick for quick getaways.
Voice Type: Medium, medium-high
(Excited) Say it… say it…
(Concerned) I didn’t… I didn’t know.
A member of Turmoil’s crew who was present during Deadlock’s escape. He's in charge of the ship’s controls.
Voice Type: Medium, medium-high
We're trying to, sir, but it's no use.
He initiated the emergency system protocols!
