First off, I hate the idea of Micheal Bay directing this.
That being said, here are some names going around about the possible stars. Since I cannot post a hyper link (once again), I'm just going to post some of the news here.
According to IGN FilmForce, director Michael Bay is set to reenlist some of his old troopers – from some of his past films like “Pearl Harbor” and “Armageddon” – for roles in the live-action version of “The Transformers”.
Firstly, Jon Voight (“Pearl Harbor”) and Michael Clarke Duncan (“Armageddon”) have been asked to play roles in the film. Voight would play the U.S. Secretary of State, Keller, and Duncan would play Figueroa, a chief warrant officer in the army.
There are some newcomers to the world of Bay-biggies that have been eyeballed for roles too, though.
Josh Duhamel, of TV’s “Las Vegas”, is apparently the frontrunner for the role of Lennox, a young military commander. And also set for roles in the film are John Turturro, Travis Van Winkle (“Dorm Daze 2”), John Robinson (“Lords of Dogtown”), Tyrese (“2 Fast 2 Furious”), Megan Fox (“Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen”), and Australia’s Rachael Taylor (“Man-Thing”).
Anyway, we'll see how this turns out-if it comes out at all!

I don't care who they get to play the humans. However, I will go on record as saying (and I'll probably regret saying this) I will NOT go see this movie unless Peter Cullen voices my boy Optimus Prime and Frank Welker as Megatron. This property is more near and dear to my heart than any other, Star Wars, Star Trek and all that included.
Yes, I'm such a geek that should anything be greatly altered (and they're pushing it by saying Soundwave is going to be a CD player) I will avoid this film like the plague.
Just saying is all...
You won't believe this, Chris. I ran across this today:
One thing I can confirm, straight from Bay's mouth (and this is something he wanted the fans to know) is that he is going to audition the original voice actors for the Autobots and Decepticons. He said it's no guarantee they'll get cast, but he's going to give them a listen. His main fear is that the actors have aged since the cartoon and that age may be noticeable in their voices.

That is refreshing news. But you know it won't happen.
There is actually lots of info on aint it cool news. Go check it out to get alleged transformeres info.
Chris I think you should do the voice of Megatron, and Logan or James Earl Jones should do the voice of Optimus Prime.
Wow! Thanks. I'm company with James Earl Jones? My day WILL NOT get any better.
