Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen Autobots Cast
Autobots
- Peter Cullen voices Autobot leader Optimus Prime. He retains his alternate mode of a blue Peterbilt truck with red flame decals. Cullen recorded a voiceover for the opening scene in August 2008, but began the majority of voice work in November. A live action cameo has been written for Cullen.
- Mark Ryan voices Bumblebee, the Autobot who befriended Sam and disguised himself as his fifth-generation Chevrolet Camaro. Ryan also continues his role as stand-in for the robots on set.[59]
- Ironhide, the Autobot weapons specialist who transforms into a GMC Topkick. Jess Harnell voiced him in the first film.
- Ratchet, the Autobot medic who transforms into a search and rescue Hummer H2. Robert Foxworth voiced him in the first film.
- Arcee, an Autobot with a feminine personality and appearance, who can separate into three motorcycles. Arcee was dropped from the first film as the writers felt there was not enough time to explain her “gender”, but she and several other female Transformers appeared in the first film’s toy line and tie-in comics. Orci stated the issue could just be ignored in the film.
- “The Twins”. According to leaked daily call sheets Michael Bay claimed he faked, they begin the film by combining into an ice cream van and later accompany Bumblebee to find Jetfire at the Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center. By that point they have reformatted into a Chevrolet Beat and Chevrolet Trax. The Beat’s license plate reads “Skids”, possibly indicating its final name, while the other Twin’s name will be determined in post-production, as the dialogue can be re-recorded with the animation.[ Skids was mentioned by the other Autobots in the Transformers: The Reign of Starscream movie sequel comics.
- Sideswipe, an Autobot Chevrolet Corvette “Centennial Concept”.
- Jolt, a blue Chevrolet Volt. Jolt was a last-minute addition to the cast after General Motors, the film’s car supplier, wanted to promote the Volt. The writers had already wanted to include the car in the script before the Writers Guild strike, so they had to work out a character that would fit well within the Autobot team afterwards and convince Bay to approve the addition. Hasbro previously used the name Jolt for a Decepticon in the first film’s toy line.
- Jetfire, an Autobot SR-71 Blackbird. He was a Decepticon, but his wounds and age have made him choose to ally with Optimus. He can combine with Optimus, an idea previously seen in the Transformers: Armada series.
- Wheelie, a radio-controlled car.
