don't know if you guys heard, but it was revealed this weekend that Peter Cullen, the original voice of Optimus Prime in the cartoon, has been awarded the movie voice role as well. Seems to me like they bowed to fan pressure but at least Bay is smart enough to realise they don't need a Tom Cruise type to supply a voice when it would just piss off most of the older fan base.

No word on the rest of the original actors (Starscream guy has been dead for 10 years) but this is good news for nostalgic fans.

Ill wait till I see previews first before I saw that though.

Thanks for the update on the ILM clip It looks to good not be true, neverthless.

The remainder of the info came from producer Don Murphy during the TF convention at DoubleTree.

-Big fight at the end
-Main transformers(prime, megatron, starscream, bumblebee, etc)
-glimpse of cybetron.
- original transformation sound
-Some original music
...that's all I can remember from April.

For jokes and memories.

I never had the original Optimus Prime toy because it disappeared as soon as there was a shipment in to Woolco, Toys R Us, etc. But when my parents brought me the Generation 2 Optimus back from California in 1987, it was probably the happiest day of my life to that point.

They don't make cartoons or toys like that anymore do they?
