Hello everyone!
I am holding auditions for more characters in the Transformers audio
drama from StarForce Media. These include roles that need to be recast
as well as several new characters in the series. For those of you who
don't know, this is an audio dub of the Transformers
comic books from IDW Publishing, complete with SFX and music in order to
create a cinematic experience. A total of five episodes have already
been released on the channel and many more are already in production.
The stories that will be covered include the long-running series More
Than Meets The Eye and Robots in Disguise as well as various miniseries and
spotlights such as Last Stand of the Wreckers, the Autocracy trilogy,
Megatron Origin, and more.
This is a long-running project so do keep that in mind if you are cast. Should a problem arise, please let me know ASAP. You must stay in
contact with me in some way, shape, or form, whether that's through email, Skype, or Discord. I need to hear from you in
some form of communication and I'd rather not have you disappearing off
the face of the Earth. If you cannot commit to a project of this length,
then please don't audition. Nothing personal, but there have been many delays involving cast members dropping out without a word and it's imperative that the team and I keep production ahead.
Project Requirements:
-Have a good, quality microphone and recording space.
-Must be comfortable with mild swearing. There isn't an excessive amount, nor is it strong, but it's something to point out.
-Ability to meet deadlines. You will be given between 2-4 weeks to
complete lines and will be given either one script per episode or
multiple scripts. If you have scheduling conflicts, please contact me
about it.
-Do NOT submit recordings with robotic effects. Any and all effects will be handled post-editing.
-Must be willing to scream if a scene calls for it.
-Must be willing to commit to a long-term project.
The project will be posted on the StarForce Media channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgZUFZiZAi7LIOAEg_rg7RA/

Side note: The explainer video is the first episode in the series.
One final note: Have fun! If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask.
Born as Orion Pax, he started off as a police officer with a strong sense of justice. Willing to uphold the law, yet stay true to his ideals, even going so far as to stand up to the corrupt Senate. Eventually, he was known as Optimus Prime after obtaining the Matrix of Leadership and became a great and powerful military leader who led his fellow Autobots into war against Megatron and his army of Decepticons. He is revered by many and reviled by some, but always carries a strong presence with him no matter where he is. When Optimus was Orion, he was still a bit green, reckless, and short tempered, letting his emotions get the better of him. More inexperienced, before gaining wisdom through the Matrix.
If you are cast, you will have a LOT of recording to do, so keep that in mind before trying out. While I don’t expect a full-on imitation, I would like something similar to our previous Optimus, given that he’s already made his debut in the series. For reference, please listen to the Death of Optimus Prime one shot here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wfVW_A9-TwE&t=314s
When he’s still Orion Pax before the war breaks out, he should sound slightly different in comparison. A bit younger than he is when he’s Optimus. Perhaps similar to Gary Chalk’s portrayal, though that’s open to interpretation.
(Optimus) Yes…No. I don’t know how I feel about you. Hate is too simple a
word. Too… easy. It might sustain you, Megatron. But it diminishes me. I
am lessened by it.
(Orion Pax) Oh, I gathered intel, all right. I saw for myself what you’re planning,
Zeta. And it’s madness! Our war is against the Decepticons, not our own
citizens!
(Optimus) I am Prime now. Optimus Prime. I’ve been given a second chance
to set things right. To fight for a better world. I ask you now… will
you stand with me?
A Dinobot who’s mostly lived up to the team’s bad reputation. He can be bad-tempered, nasty, and extremely violent, making many wonder why he isn’t a Decepticon. He’ll fight anyone who gets on his bad side, but as much as he isn’t fond of the Autobots, he hates Decepticons even more. Later on in the series, due to Grimlock’s imprisonment in Garrus-9, he stepped up as the leader of the team. Outside of having a drink with his comrades, he loves nothing more than reducing his enemies to a crisp with his flaming breath and sword. It doesn’t matter how dirty the job is, he’ll gladly lead his fellow Dinobots to finish any mission.
Voice Type: Medium-low, low, rough
What does it matter if we get busted, Swoop? Prison ain’t so bad. It’s not like this is livin’.
(Angry) You got us into this damn mess in the first place, but you lord
over us like you’re above it all. You pipe the fuel… I’m out.
(Helping up a Cybertronian) They’re outcasts. We’re all outcasts. You like drinkin’ energon?
A Decepticon bounty hunter. He’s all about business and will do whatever it takes to haul in his bounty. He runs a tight ship and is straight to the point, certainly not afraid of telling his colleagues what he thinks about them. He’ll take on any job for payment whether that includes hunting down deserted Decepticons or catching Titans with his crew.
Voice Type: Medium-low, low, rough
You know something, Barrage? You only ever bring me good news. That’s what I like best about you.
We really must sit down sometime so I can explain why we all hate you. We’ll start with your personality and go from there.
These are my men. And in a moment, because they’ve been very well-behaved, I’m going to let them kill you.
One of the new recruits to the Wreckers, a special task force usually assigned to the more dangerous and deadly missions the Autobots can’t handle. Inspired by Optimus Prime, he strives to emulate his hero in any way he can. Taking Prime’s ideals and methods to heart, he went so far as to alter his physical appearance to resemble that of Optimus. His greatest wish is to die gloiously in battle as Prime watches him in action. While being a bit obsessed with his hero, he still strives to do good. Doing his part to fight in battles and save lives before being recruited on a suicide mission to Garrus 9. However, he does tend to get a bit embarrassed from time to time. While his heart is in the right place, he tends to get caught up in his self-obsession and can be a bit arrogant as a result.
Voice Type: Low, deep
(In awe) By the sacred spires! A human! Optimus Prime’s data was right! They’re so delicate and in need of our protection…
Look, little miss liability, if it weren’t for me, you’d be a smear on Overlord’s boot!
It’s just… when Prime risks his life it’s to close a space-time rift, or
to prevent the Black Epoch, or to keep the Dead Universe at bay. But
me… I’m supposed to die by switching on a computer? I’m supposed to give
up my spark for that? No way. Sorry, Ironfist, but I won’t do it.
A member of the Wreckers and Twin Twist’s brother. Skilled, fearless, and is willing to do whatever it takes to see a job through. However, that doesn’t mean he’s willing to go in guns blazing, unlike his brother. In fact, he’d prefer pitting himself against nature and being a cartographer. But due to him and his brother sharing a branched spark, they can both feel pain when one of them gets injured. So, he keeps an eye on him to keep them both alive.
This role needs to be recast for Last Stand of the Wreckers issue 4 and potential future issues later on. While I don’t expect a full-on imitation of our previous Topspin, I would like something similar. For a reference, you can check out a sample of the voice here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iWar9_vJ2AM
Wish we could give you a scoop, “Fisitron,” but the only thing that sets
us apart from the rest is a knack for saving each other’s skin. Yeah,
and as of last count, I’m ahead by six saves.
(Frustrated) Well, unless it contains a fully sequenced cyber-genome, or
the uncensored version of the Autobot code, or—let’s think the
unthinkable—a roadmap to peace… I’d respectfully suggest that High
Command have sent us on a fool’s errand!
(Angry) This isn’t role-play. People die in stupid, pointless ways. Deal with it.
An Autobot who has accomplished many feats than one can imagine and one of the most well-known and respected ‘bots around. His positive attitude and good-natured personality does not waver and thus has earned him somewhat of a reputation for being the perfect ‘bot. Everyone seems to adore him or at the very least respect him. Everyone, that is, except for Rodimus, who becomes incredibly irritated easily in his presence. It doesn’t make things better that Thunderclash is on the same quest as he is, to find the Knights of Cybertron. He searches for them along with his crew on his ship, the Vis Vitalis.
Voice Type: Low, deep, heroic
Not at all. It’s my crew—they’re the brave ones, choosing to travel with
me. All those fights, explosions, and chases. It’s non-stop.
No, no, I was being sincere. I’m smiling because we’re on our own quest. We’re looking for the Knights of Cybertron.
If I find the Knights before you do, I hope future generations realize
that it was only possible because of your selflessness and integrity.
A cheerful, optimistic Autobot who wants his big chance to prove himself in the ranks. When he crash lands on planet LV-117, his optimism slowly begins to dissipate as he is forced to live on his own and survive the planet’s harsh environment. During his stay there, he ends up befriending an alien named Varta and learns to speak in rhyme.
Voice Type: Medium, medium-high
(Excited) Really? No way! I mean… I won’t let you down!
They say what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. But that day… a little bit of me died. That day… I stopped believing.
(Muttering) Everyone’s a critic. (To Varta) Okay… to endure this stormy weather, you and I must pull together.
A Decepticon Predator who was a part of Skyquake’s army. Now, after Overlord took charge and killed his commander, he has witnessed arenas, hunts and tortures for three years at Garrus 9. He fulfills his duty while serving under Overlord, but he is terrified of his new commander, often having doubts during his stay at the prison. Having his fill of the carnage, he attempts to turn the tables by releasing Impactor for a fighting chance.
Voice Type: Medium-low, low
Please, lower the guns. I’m here to talk—which is why you two aren’t smoldering from the neck up.
Because I’m as much a prisoner here as you. I’m scared of him, Impactor.
We all are. But you… you’ve got what it takes to make it out of here
and bring back help.
(Held at gunpoint) Wait! If I’m still alive by the end of this sentence, you have to listen to me. Deal?
A Dinobot apart of Grimlock’s team and later Slag’s after he takes over. While not the smartest ‘bot around, he makes his presence known through violence. Stomping on and shooting anyone and anything in his path. Like the rest of the Dinobots, he’ll follow Grimlock or Slag anywhere they go, no matter how messy the job gets.
Voice Type: Medium, medium-low
Learn anatomy. Head’s down here, Autobot.
You was talkin’ about your vision. You said “Everything happens like it does for a reason.” The Autobots lose, don’t we?
(Alarmed) What? We gotta get outta here, now!
A Dinobot and a bit of the silent type. He doesn’t express his opinion too often and will complete any objective given to him by either Grimlock or Slag, regardless of what he thinks. He mostly keeps to himself and focuses all his strength and rage in battle, which seems to be the only thing that fills his spark with purpose.
Voice Type: Medium, medium-low, rough
This tanker’s at capacity… y’know, we could pull over a million credits for all this energon, Slag.
You saw how angry he was, Swoop. He’ll turn up later, after he blows off some steam.
What does it matter now? There’s no way we can beat that thing… it’ll
devour the whole world just like it devoured poor Grimlock…
Dangerous, powerful and cunning. This Decepticon possess a keen mind and a sense of raw, savage power. He believes the strong should rule over the weak and is willing to wipe out anyone who he considers is beneath him in order to create a world filled with only strength and power. This makes him a force to be reckoned with, not just as a dangerous foe in battle, but a terrifying leader in the Decepticon ranks.
Voice Type: Medium, medium-low
Cowards. Weaklings. See how quickly the common ‘bots scurry in the face of adversity. I despise them.
(Killing a soldier as everyone watches) I respect only power!! That is
what it means to be a Decepticon. Anyone else care to venture their
opinion?
Hahahahaha! Disappointing as always, Grimlock. But you were right about being a monster. See, deep down… we’re all monsters.
Before the war, Sentinel worked his way up to the top, becoming the head of security for the Senate. One of those duties included threatening and killing anyone who would oppose the Senate. His duties and ideals transitioned over to when he became a Prime, as he worked to keep those without power in check. Cruel, diligent, and unsympathetic to those who he would deem lesser than him. In his eyes, anyone who would not perform their intended function had to learn their place.
Voice Type: Medium-low, low
Arrest him and be done with it… I’m trying to watch Senator Proteus make a speech that’ll change everything.
So this is Megatron, huh? The big bad himself? I don’t see it.
Individual teams will re-disperse as designated. Callsign is Panorama. We will crack down on this cult… and that one will hang.
He initially wanted to become a part of Megatron’s gladiatorial arena, but that turned into a life he never wanted with the Decepticons. Thundercracker would remain a loyal Seeker in the Decepticon cause for many years as its goals are something he found he could believe in, but has often felt doubt on many occasions. Eventually the Decepticons strayed too far from their goals that he couldn’t tolerate their actions any longer, thus deciding to spend the rest of his days on Earth, growing fond of humanity and their ability to change. Stories that will be covered will include him during the days of the war, where he’s often reluctant yet sinister, and after he’s settled on Earth, where he only wants to live in peace.
Voice Type: Medium, medium-low
Pardon the ruse, but I had to see for myself whether or not you Stunticons had lost your edge.
You know, if all Autobots were like you… well, never mind. That just isn’t the case.
Look… I know I still have records of the radiation signature of
Metroplex’s space bridge somewhere in my old files. But that’s all I
have for you. This isn’t my fight.
The leader of the Aerialbots and a brave soldier to boot. His continued efforts in the Autobot-Decepticon war have proven him to be an invaluable ally. He values his comrades lives above all and has no tolerance to those who would put them at risk.
Voice Type: Medium, medium-low
Target’s fleeing north, sir! You need assistance or should I pursue?
(Concerned) I almost didn’t. When I saw you were unarmed, I was ready to come storming in.
(Angry) NO! What about everybody we lost? What about all we gave up?!
One of the esteemed members of the Senate and one all too accustomed to his current lifestyle, with the rich being in power while the working-class burn themselves out. He absolutely hates having to visit the miners and would much rather stay in his own quarters, but is required to carry out his duties to the people of Cybertron whether he likes it or not.
Voice Type: Medium-low, low, elderly
We need the mines. We need the energon. That’s the way control works.
The only things we don’t need are these ghastly wrecks. At the end of
the cycle, you’re right—they won’t like it. But perhaps you’re confusing
me with someone who cares?
(Trying to calm the miners down) Workers… brothers! Now if you’ll just
stay calm, I’ll take us through the terms of the facility
re-designation. I think given the conditions you’ll find the terms quite
generous, hmm?
(Admiring his own statue) What an honor it is to be recognized in this unique way. What a distinction for the House of Decimus.
A Decepticon with a lot more brawn than brain. He acts tough, like a typical street punk, and can be pretty quick-tempered, but will follow Megatron and Soundwave eagerly into battle. Rumble loves nothing more than to break things apart and can transform his arms into powerful piledrivers, creating earthquakes once pounding them against the ground.
Voice Type: Medium, medium-high
Look, big guy—we need your help… we both saw what you’re capable of.
Hurt?! Remember when you cut off my arms?! That hurt… and it wasn’t the plan!
Finally! Time to shake things up!
A Decepticon who uses fear, destruction, and mayhem in his arsenal. His manic attack style combined with his sonic battle cry makes him a formidable opponent, primarily focusing on wide range attacks. His manic personality make him and Rumble close teammates.
Voice Type: Medium, medium-high
Now look—I get the attention, he busts the restraints. Heh… either way,
we have to roll now. And check it out, Rumble—looks like these guys got
no respect for industrial equipment.
Well, boss, I hope whatever data yer carrying was worth all this. Poor Ravage is still out there somewhere.
Hah! That got ‘im! We’re home safe, now!
A resident from the city of Nyon. He was among the many civilians who lived in fear and desperation among Zeta Prime’s tyrannical rule over Cybertron and originally joined the local insurgency against his government to free his people. At some point later, he ends up joining the Decepticons after losing faith in Optimus Prime and the Autobot’s government.
Voice Type: Medium, medium-low
Deep down, like the ancient ones who built this place—you still believe
in justice. Hot Rod brought you here—showed you all this—so you could
prove it.
Better that our people die at our hands than be drained to serve Zeta’s war machine…
I see things differently now. I threw in with the real “people’s
movement.” They fixed me up. Made me a fighter. They’re the real power,
now. So from here on out—you better watch your back. And tell your
Autobot pals… their day is done.
One of the legendary Titans and the oldest one still alive. He lies in dormant until called upon, which include serving a Prime or venturing into the stars on missions. A strong Cybertronian who tends to lay low until he is needed. But when he does enter the battlefield, he is a force to be reckoned with.
Voice Type: Low, deep
I have known you. Under a different name, perhaps… in a different time…
The people of this place… my people… have suffered greatly. For now, I
will aid the precious few that survived. But know that when you call, I
shall come.
You cannot harm me, little tyrant. Your paltry weapons cease to amuse me.
One of the oldest Cybertronians and an advisor to the Autobots. Before the war, he served as a mentor during Optimus’ early years before leaving the planet with Metroplex. He’s wise, yet enigmatic and can be very full of himself.
Voice Type: Medium, medium-low, elderly
It’s good to see you again, my friend. I’ve been watching you with great
interest. For someone built primarily for combat, you seem to be
holding your own in the equally treacherous political arena.
We all make our own choices. Have faith, Optimus… a leader’s job isn’t
always to make determinations for his followers—but to teach them to
make their own.
Would what? Help him engage with others of his kind? Help him become a
heroic Autobot? Face it—for the time being, his identity lies only in
his chosen function.
A Quintesson discovered by Megatron inside a crashed ship. He has a dramatic way of speaking with an interest of leading others down a path of evil. He has also grown a special interest in his new target, Megatron, who fills his curiosity by the minute. Pentius is also comprised of multiple heads.
Voice Type: Up to interpretation
I am called Pentius. I have been marooned here for hundreds of years…
trapped within this gnarled wreckage. But the darkness… it told me you
would come.
You may yet escape this place, wanderer… but you must learn its most
critical lesson. If you do not, the same fate might befall your own
world.
Death is upon you, wanderer! Your strength ebbs—your energon bleeds from
your circuits! Will you let these miscreants defeat you? Is this all
that remains of your indomitable will?
The leader of the Terrorcons and a soldier in his own right. He believes in ruling by fear and makes an example of it to anyone who would dare oppose him. He does not tolerate weakness and will prove his strength to those who would show failure among the Decepticons.
Voice Type: Medium-low, low
Look at you, Decepticons… bowing to this smooth-talking coward. You
forgot that we rule by fear—we’re not ruled by it! Megatron blew our one
best shot at running Iacon… and all you ramrods could do was banish
him?
Surprised to see us, Megatron? We’ve come a long way to find you. To end
you. For your failure of leadership. For your weakness. But just for
old times’ sake, we’ll give you a heads start.
Hahaha… no. I pity him. You… are more terrible than ever. He doesn’t stand a chance.
An Autobot who serves on the Ethics Committee in Kimia, approving weapons for warfare. While not a fighter, he has invaluable experience in legal proceedings, offering his opinions and advice when needed. While formal when on the job, he can be fairly pleasant when among friends.
Voice Type: Medium, medium-low
Glad to help. It’s not as if anything ever happens on Kimia, anyway. Besides—Megatron, captured? I had to see it for myself.
All I’m saying is that there’s a lot riding on how we deal with him. The
intergalactic community has no time for us—Autobots or Decepticons. As
far as they’re concerned, we’re just as bad as each other.
There’s a further consideration. If found guilty, Megatron would be punished in one of two ways: Execution or life imprisonment.
A law enforcer who served under Orion Pax during the pre-war days of Cybertron. He’s very good-natured, is often polite to prisoners and very efficient in his work. While he does his best to perform his duty, he’s a bit taken aback and horrified when others act more violently when on the job.
Voice Type: Medium, medium-low
He’s incredible! For the first time since you and I were posted here, I
feel like we’re making a difference. Changing lives. Does that sound
lame?
(Alarmed) He’s being set free… captain’s orders. Jeez, Whirl, what have you done?
This is going to sound stupid, but when I’m feeling—what’s the word?
Disquieted? Is that a word? When I’m feeling disquieted, I try to
channel the wisdom of the Matrix. It helps me find peace.
One of the Senate’s enforcers who was sent to free Whirl from prison. He and the captain of the Rodion police force, Orion Pax, don’t see eye to eye, going so far as to threaten him if the captain didn’t comply to his demands. Untrustworthy, brutal, and enjoys dismantling anyone in his way.
Voice Type: Medium-low, low, rough
He’s a popular ‘bot, Whirl. Makes friends from all walks of life. From
those at the bottom to those at the top. The very top. Him getting
arrested… well. It could cause certain Cybertronians a degree of
embarrassment.
You’ve lived up to your reputation, officer. Shame.
(Whilst shooting) I have to ask you one thing, officer… all those
trophies, all those commendations, all those awards… what use are they
to you now?
An unstoppable force of destruction, Trypticon laid asleep for many years until he was awakened by Scorponok, releasing his terror upon Cybertron. When he gained the memories of Pentius through his spark, he becomes more intelligent and malicious as a result, wishing to spread his reign of destruction once more.
Voice Type: Low, deep, menacing
My memory is a jumble of scattered imagery. Dark flashes of ages long past. I remember… cruelty. Malice. An unquenchable hatred.
There is no shame in turning from these visions, Megatron. Your spark
cannot process the enormity of such depthless evil. Not yet, at any
rate.
You’re far weaker than I remember, Titan… but now you must sense you cannot best me. You would do well to just lay down and die.
Waspinator is just plain unlucky. No matter where he is or where he goes, bad things always end up happening to him. He’s the equivalent to the universe’s personal punching bag. Though it doesn’t help when he keeps teaming up with the wrong crowd, such as Bludgeon’s crew or Shockwave’s team. He simply wants to be left alone, but continues to get pulled into doing impossible tasks.
Voice Type: Medium, medium-high
And then… and then… the worzzt thing happened. The worzzt thing that
could ever happen to Waspinator, happened… Waspinator succeeded.
You don’t truzzt Waspinator, you don’t truzzt mazzter Zzhockwave… doezz you truzzt anyone…?
(Whimpering) Why univerzze hate Waspinator…?
A very aggressive Decepticon who always finds himself getting into trouble. He often relies on his brute strength on anyone and anything he comes across. He also hates Autobots and will do whatever he can to see his opponents eliminated, no matter how dirty he has to get.
Voice Type: Medium-low, low, rough
You’re insane, Wildrider! You cut it way too close this time!
Been runnin’ yer mouth, Blaster. Consider yourself cancelled!
(Alarmed) Don’t interrupt the power flow! You don’t know what you’re doing!
The leader of the Combaticons. Rough, cruel, and to the point, he devises various plans for his teammates to accomplish and will do whatever it takes to see it through. While he has no love when things go awry, he’s no stranger to combat as he will engage with his brute strength and deceit. He not only hates Autobots, but has grown to hate Starscream over the years. Whatever mission he and the rest of the Combaticons take, he won’t let anything stand in his way.
Voice Type: Medium-low, low, rough
I don’t care why it’s here, Swindle! I just want to get it and get out.
Swindle… this was your intel. Your op. There anything you want to tell
us before I blow a hole through your teeny-tiny brain-pan!
We want weapons, Starscream. Got no quarrel with you—unless you’re fool enough to try ‘n’ muscle in on our score.
The leader of the Predacons and a ruthless warrior. Razorclaw revels in the thrill of the hunt and is ready to assert his force upon his enemies and even his teammates should they cross him. Despite this, he’s also about business, focused on completing the task at hand and is loyal to no one but Megatron.
Voice Type: Medium-low, low
You insatiable fools hunted this world to the point of extinction and
ruined any chance we had of finding a transport! It should be my fangs
at your throat!
I told you when we left Cybertron that we had no interest in serving
Scorponok or his vision of a savage new Cybertron. While I admit, I do
hold with many of his more… predatory values… I swore my oath to
Megatron.
I will serve no one… but him.
A victim in one of Soundwave’s traps, Beachcomber’s been forced to assassinate his teammates against his own will through a mind controlling device. All he wants is for it to stop and hates what he’s been forced to do.
Voice Type: Medium-high, high
(Scared) Stop! Don’t come any closer! I’ll shoot!
(Struggling) N-No! Don’t you see? I can’t stop myself. I can’t!
(Desperate) Stop! Please. I wanted this quick and clean. You were never meant to suffer.
A member of Blurr’s pit team during his early days as a racer. His work is often overlooked by his boss, who also forgets his name on multiple occasions. Despite this, he often remains cheerful and optimistic. He also retains a bit of valor, willing to join the Autobots when the war breaks out and leaving his old life behind.
Voice Type: Medium, medium-low
So, uh, the guys and I were thinking, we should, maybe, celebrate. We’ve all been working so hard and—
(Dispirited) Come on, let’s clear up the gear.
I don’t care if they come back. It’s not about the racing anymore. Here… (Holding an Autobot card) This is where I’m going.
An Autobot who finds himself in the thick of most battles and missions. He’s a natural warrior who excels on instinct when it comes to combat, but isn’t always considerate in conversations. He’s a tough fighter and has plenty of energy to spare.
Voice Type: Medium, medium-high
Hot Spot here. I don’t know why I’m here, but I’m here, Bee. I mean, the war’s over—we shouldn’t be looking for more fights.
Sorry, Bee. Looks like we struck out. Again.
I wonder why he didn’t want me with him, though. I mean, you I get
it—you’re still pretty badly damaged from that hit a few weeks back,
right? Gotta use that cane of yours.
A free spirit who does whatever comes naturally to him, whether that includes fighting Decepticons or indulging in a bit of downtime with his fellow ‘bots. He’s fairly easy-going, but will engage in action when the situation calls for it.
Voice Type: Medium, medium-low
Yeah, so we should be saving kittens stuck in trees and helping old ladies cross the street, like you want?
Okay, okay, Bee—no Decepticons registering on scans… but that doesn’t mean the building isn’t shielded.
Bummer.
A member of Cybertron’s Engineering Guild and an early supporter of Optimus Prime. Very much a pragmatic ‘bot. He also puts the lives of Cybertron’s citizens over his own needs.
Voice Type: Medium-low, low, rough
Pipe down, Atlas. Optimus took out Zeta and cut that monster Megatron down to size. Far as I’m concerned, he’s earned this.
Real magnanimous of ‘ya, Atlas—but most ‘bots can’t afford to just
relocate. If we up and abandon global civil services, the people that
stay won’t have a chance!
Look at that massive energy signature! It’s got to be…
One of the Stunticons who joined Megatron’s cause in his battle against the Senate. When he isn’t under the command of Megatron, he and the rest of the Stunticons find themselves taking on smaller crimes, such as hijacking cargo from highways.
Voice Type: Medium-low, low
Everyone shut up while I reel this one in… and we see if ‘ol Swindle’s tip paid off.
What’s it to you, anyway? Your boss, Scorponok, doesn’t have anything better to do than waste even more of our time?
The only way you’re getting to Megatron, Prime… IS THROUGH ME!
An enthusiast of Megatron’s matches in his gladiatorial days who later became a gladiator and eventually joined Megatron’s cause as a Decepticon. He tends to stand guard, watching silently in the background. But when the time comes to strike, he won’t hesitate to get his hands dirty.
Voice Type: Medium-low, low, gruff
No one gets in! The boss has business inside.
I’ve been waitin’ for a rematch with you. I hear they took away your
killer beast mode. That’s too bad. That was the only edge you might have
had against me.
It don’t much matter what happens around us… I’m gonna wrench your head clean off and take that firesword of yours as a trophy.
An old ‘bot with a big ego. His shuttle transformation is very reliable when carrying his comrades to their destinations, but he’s a bit too eager to tell everyone about his countless stories in battle, and that can certainly become annoying to everyone else. He mostly flies people around while relishing in the old days.
Voice Type: Medium-low, low; English accent preferred, though open to interpretation
I say again, Ironhide, we don’t need troops. It’s not quantity—it’s
quality, I always say. Like back on Leghuz Bregiv, during the early days
of the Decepticons’ campaign against the… (Gets cut off)
And that was when I swooped down, amidst the countless blasts, and pulled you and—wait. I see something down there.
(Losing his sense of direction) What? Of course, it’s right… I mean… (Worried) Ironhide, what’s happening to me?

Fastback’s right, Prowl. Even pitfighters would be slumming it here.
(Alarmed) Bail, bail, we have to clear the site. This is OP team Panorama 3 requesting response team on hostile encounter.
(Angry) Cram it in your vent, ya psychopath!
An Autobot soldier who served under High Command before the war broke out, under Prowl and Sentinel Prime. Later on, he eventually joined the Lost Light and became a Protectobot alongside First Aid. He can be a bit hot-headed and impatient.
Voice Type: Medium, medium-high
(Impatient) Look, the response team just needs to know one thing! Where. He… (Stunned) Is.
(In battle) Just too many crazies. Are we even making a difference here?
A Cybertronian who holds both an Autobot and a Decepticon badge. A spy who’s infiltrated the Autobot ranks in order to achieve his goals, his primary one being obtaining the Magnificence.

(Sincere) Thank you for coming back for me, for risking so much. It
means, well, everything. What I’d like, more than anything… is for us to
be friends.
He’s fairly dripping with guilt and remorse. Sees the whole Ki-Aleta
mess as very much one of his own making. I wonder how he’d react… if he
knew it was all down to me.
Got to be careful. One slip… and he’ll know what I did, what I really am.
One of Prowl’s enforcers who doesn’t always take his job seriously. He’s always prepared to engage his enemies and puts up a good fight, but he spends a lot of his time cracking jokes and acting cool on the sidelines.

(Amused) And it always does!
(Injured) I—ow! I got shot. By fire!

Spyglass—prep for landing. And he’s right, Spectro—shut up. That’s what this bucket of bolts has been flying us towards.
Whoa, easy on the ammo, Spectro! We’ve only got half a power-clip between us.
Hey, Autobot, your new pal’s hurt, but he’ll live. For about, oh, five
nano-kliks! That’s how long you’ve got to get your tin tush down here.
A field commander in the Ammonite army who comes across a couple of crewmembers from the Lost Light on planet Hedonia. He and his men are seeking refuge where they can lay low and buy a new ship in order to escape their enemies, the Terradores.

“Skids.” What a strange name. I’m 16444/9. I’m a field commander with
the Ammonite army. We’re at war with the accursed Terradores.
For me personally? For me and my men? Not good, Skids. Not good. We’re
being pursued by the Terradorians’ imperial guard, and they’re
relentless.
(Alarmed) It’s them! The imperial guard! They’ve found us!

constructed directly on top of the pseudo-energon reservoir.
Commander Bludgeon! The impact is tearing us apart! We’re going down!
A scientist whose experience includes working on anti-Transformers technology which earned him a place at Skywatch. Before that time, he became allies with Bumblebee and used his expertise to assist him in one of his missions.

Voice Type: Medium, medium-low
I know that wasn’t your intention. But you—you doubt yourself, and you
show that doubt to all. That’s not doing you any favors with your
troops, is it?
I can access spectrographs at all our facilities, and the radiation
signature you gave me… it’s very unique. Not like anything on Earth.

(Reporter) … Some of our viewers may find shocking. This represents an
investigation into what appears to be a surge of popularity into a
deadly new sport…
(Civilian) Got it. Just tell Megatron, us locals are pullin’ for him!
(Angry miner) There’s plenty of fuel to go around yet most of us here
are damn near running on empty! And now you want to kick us out and
shake our paws and have us say thank you?!
