Grimlock Returns
Company: Activision Product: Transformers: Fall of Cybertron
Activision and High Moon Studios recently announced the vocal talents that will be bringing their characters to life in Transformers: Fall of Cybertron. Not only does Peter Cullen once again voice the Autobot leader Optimus Prime, a reprisal that pretty much goes without saying, but a new original Transformers voice-talent steps back behind the mic. Gregg Berger will take on the role of Grimlock, the robotic T-Rex, for the first times since the G1 series from the 80's.
Other actors attached to Fall of Cybertron include Nolan North as Cliffjumper, Bruticus and Brawl, Steve Blum as Shockwave, Sindle and Sharpshot, Troy Baker as Jazz, Jetfire and Kickback, Fred Tatasciore as Megatron, Ratchet and the city-sized Metroplex, as well as Isaac Singleton as Soundwave.
The inclusion of the two original voice-actors, plus a hard-hitting collection of talent, should give fans high hopes for Transformers: Fall of Cybertron's audio. As for the game's visual stylings and gameplay, what we've played so far shows a lot of promise.
Fall of Cybertron is the direct sequel to 2010's War for Cybertron and is due to be released August 28th on the Xbox 360 and PS3.
