'Transformers' Robot Cast Announced!

AUTOBOTS

Optimus Prime - Gotta be front and center. Can't make the movie without him.
Bumblebee - The scout. Same underdog VW character you have known and love. The difference however will be that he is a Camaro, not a VW Bug. Reason being was based on design.
Jazz - Rock and roll, loyal friend.
Ratchet - Originally apeared in the cartoon as an ambulance will have a new form, medical and science officer. The smartest one if you need help.
Ironhide - The muscle, tough soldier, can make any Transformer bust an o-ring just with his stare. he is optimus' oldest friend.

DECEPTICONS

Megatron – Get a little bit behind the evil. Megatron doesn't see the good in humans. A little more realistic, as opposed to pure evil he thinks it is his right to reign supreme.
Starscream - The backstabber.
Brawl - An extremely pissed off Decepticon. He is always ready for battle even when a fight isn't warranted.
Bone Crusher - Closest thing to a Constructicon. Kind of hates all the other Decipticons except for Megatron.
Barricade - Scouting the Earth looking for Autobots. His alt mode is a cop car. He uses his alt mode to lure and trap the humans
Scorponok - Closest to Beast Wars.
Frenzy - A character who had some evolution. Originally started out as Soundwave but as the script developed he had some contradictions. Rather shove a squre peg into a round hole let's create Frenzy. A smaller form and able to infiltrate spaces around you, like a stealth spy.
Blackout - A guy who comes in and takes out all the humans ability to fight back. Sends out pulse blasts, etc. One of the biggest vehicles, a mover and a shaker, a transport.
