Transformers Survival || Wave 3

Transformers Survival || Wave 3

Project Overview

(REQUIRED: you must be 14-15+ years old.)

Transformers Survival is a 2d animated fan movie based on a Cybertron in the start of war, Directed by Cheetah3. We follow the view of a clan of Predacons, The Autobots, and the Decepticons, uncovering betrayal, memory, history, and tragedy. The film shows the journey of how the great war changes everyone, even one of our protagonists, Flytrap, becoming what everyone sees as an antagonist towards the end.
Transformers Survival inspires off of Transformers IDW, Transformers Prime Predacons, Transformers One, and Tron Uprising.

The movie is expected to be 1 hour+ long and is complete 2d frame by frame animated. (with certain scenes being in a more painted style)

This is Wave 3 of the casting call, looking for more important roles and extra VA roles. Later more roles will be added!

Want to support us? Share around! The project is mainly on Cheetah3's YouTube which you can find here on her profile, as well as her carrd page with more information on that.

!Do keep in mind!

  • This film is volunteer. No one is currently getting paid unless the project gets the funds to do so. As of the moment we are all just in it for the fun of the game.

  • It is suggested to have intermediate+ experience with art before applying, as we tend to have a lot of detail with our designs.

  • If you struggle with working with a team, this may not be for you. We are a drama-free large team.

Blacklight is one of the Predacons, she serves as the medic.
She also has a bit more of a calm voice!

URGENTLY NEEDED
Warning: you may not be chosen! This role is currently being auditioned by team members as well, we're looking for the best fit so feel free to throw your card in!

Optimus Prime, leader of the Autobots. He has few scenes but long lines.

  • Being a Decepticon does not simply label evil. It is the spark that resides within.

  • The honor is mine.

  • It is unknown how Megatron is… I do not believe the Decepticons will commit to a direct assault, but with such an important officer in our hold, he may be pressured to do so. We should put extra security down, as a precaution.

Megatron

The Leader of the Decepticons! His design is leaning towards a mix of Transformers Prime and Transformers One.

This role is a medium, not too many lines but has important scenes and speeches

(pfp picture credit: Transformers Prime.)

Language:
  • english
Voice description:
  • male adult
  • animation/character
  • All Hail Megatron

  • Decepticons! Transform and Rise Up

  • The Autobots have been making more rash decisions as of late. Testing our resources, our troops, our cause.

Role assigned to: Go-Faster-Wings

DJD (Decepticons Justice Division) leader! He is a more major role as he plays a big role towards the end of the movie.
This version of him is heavily inspired from his IDW version!
A good reference to how his voice might be would probably be https://youtu.be/XbKqg9BCdL8?si=hR16UyVZScJ7i-CC

  • Autobots… always so quick to fall into our traps, huh? I thought a Predacon would be more vigilant than this. Last chance.

  • As much as I’d love this to be a lesson for a rule scrapper like you, raiding the Autobot base for Vos is not simple enough for one bot.

Very small role. Only few lines but important character.

Soundwave, communications officer and spy for the Decepticons. Similar to other versions of him, he shares the monotone synthesized voice.

(PFP picture creatures to Transformers: Skybound. This completely belongs to hasbro, we just don't have Soundwave's art done yet in TFsurvival!)

Similar to Soundwave, not as many lines but still a very important character!
I'd recommend leaning towards his Transformers Prime voice!

Shockwave still remains in Transformers Survival the Decepticon scientist.

(PFP picture does not belong to TFsurvival, our concept artist is just still finishing up with his design!)

Language:

Voice description:
  • male adult

  • If I may, Lord Megatron. Might it be logical to use bait?

  • Following Tarn’s detailed report and Vos’s ping before capture, some claim to have a connection to Flytrap.

Autobot Jazz! Special operations of the Autobots. Another small but important role.
His voice will likely be similar to his other versions!

(if you get Jazz's role, due to how short it is, you may be able to get another [with audition of course] or join the background VAs)

(PFP does not belong to TFsurvival! His concept art is still being worked on)

Prowl! One of the enforcers of Iacon and Autobots. He is a medium sized role, once again- important but smaller lines!

Prowl's voice may be closer to his TFA or G1 versions!

Language:

Voice description:
  • male adult
  • animation/character
  • Frontline, contact Ratchet and relay to him this message: Gather a medical team and deploy to the coordinates attached to this message. Recover any who remain at the site.

Another medium role!
Ultra Magnus, second in command of the Autobots! His voice is recommended to be similar to his Transformers Prime version.

Voice description:

  • We mustn’t just ponder this, then. We must think this through carefully. For all we know, this may be a new faction, and that is the last thing we need with Megatron and his ranks on the loose as well as the Sentinel Loyalists that took over Praxus.

  • Prime, what do you believe they’re plotting? Obviously we are brought to their planning and full attention now after the capture of Vos.
