I could listen to Peter Cullen read a phone book and be enthralled by it! And I love Hugo Weaving's voice, even when distorted, like for Megs. LOVED him in "V for Vendetta!" Melts

Optimus Prime: Peter Cullen has always been my favourite voice actor and I agree with Bot Girl, there is something about his voice that is so captivating. :)

If he made a CD of him singing lullabyes, it would sell millions to women! ;) Who needs Marvin Gaye?!

It is so reminiscent of Starscream's voice and personality in G1. He had that sinister/whiny voice that I just loved to hate.
My favorite voice over would probably be Ironhide. He has that gravely voice of an elder battle hardened man ready to thrash the enemy.

Optimus Prime, its one of the voices I wish I had and could speak like. Math class would be so fucking cool with me asking about certain questions. My voice would be a big distraction fo sho.

I used to think that it didn't feel or sound like G1 Starscream at all, but I realized something. It has that Chris Latta feel to it, its like G1 Starscream but without being processed... so it feels like Cobra Commander. When Chris Latta voiced Cobra Commander/Starscream, the difference was that Starscream was processed to sound kind of robotic. I think that Starscream should be like that in TF3, processed a little but not as extreme as TF1 - but also with a more evil feel to it... like constantly plotting his next plan to over throw Megatron, in secret or not so secret.

Exactly. I would love to see a plot to overthrow or kill Megs. That would be a great side story. We saw a glimpse of it in ROTF when he told Megatron "After all, in your absence, SOMEONE had to take command..."
I loved that part. Those that don't know TF didn't quite get that part as well as in the first TF when Megatron said "you fail me yet again Starscream."

I like Starscreams new voice. It has that evil scientist (he is a scientist) twist to it.

I loved Soundwaves. It was nice to hear that Optimus wasn't the only throwback to the past.

Optimus Prime, (Always awesome:D)
Ironhide, (Good mix of battle experienced and tough-talk attitude)
Ratchet (always amusing. Pheromone levels, misinformed jerks, just cracks me up)
Wheelie (he makes sounding like a pathetic, puny walking trashpile so real).

Soundwave, even without the synth he so kick butt. If a giant robot yelled at me like dr. claw I would run.

For me, it would have to be Peter Cullen's Optimus Prime - deep and authoritative without being booming and imposing, and yet at times he can sound almost reassuring.
Second would be Hugo Weaving's Megatron - he gave Megatron that much-needed menace, and for some reason, I like his delivery of the word 'Decepticons'.

Barricade.. because it has nearly robo voice.
others has human voice.. there have to be differences between human and robot voices

Keith David. Love his work. that low rumbly voice. Yum!
Movies
Ironhide. Love Jess Harnell as a va, esp Drawn Together. Didn't like movie Hide much in the begining but I love him now. There are some days I wish I owned a GMC Topkick just to scare people off when Im driving round town. The size of vehicle alone would scare em.
Prime. Hello I grew up with this voice so it's special to me. Will always be Prime to me. I love Cullen as Eeyore too, should see all my merch I have.
Cartoons
G1 Prime. See reason above
BW Megatron. God I love that voice.

Peter Cullen is a given.
And Soundwave is good (minus vocoder)
After that for pure voice:
Ratchet & Ironhide (perfect casting imho)

I think everyone can appreciate Peter Cullen's voice... but to be original I would say that Ironhide's voice is pretty nice or soundwave's.

TFA Megatron (and most Shockwaves)- Corey Burton
Soundwave/ Dr. Claw- Frank Welker
Ratchet- Jeff Combs
TF: P is my favourite voice for Starscream so far.
TFA Bumblebee- Bumper Robinson- great choice, both for Bee's... exuberance, but also fitting a robot that's what? Thousands of years old? G1 Bee sounded a bit immature somehow.
I think both Cullen and Kaye did a good job as Prime, especially the latter for a more inexperienced Optimus.
Tony Todd = excellent for the Fallen. Perfect.
Gary Ghalk is very versatile, I've really enjoyed his contributions to VO work (and his time on Stargate).
Lance Henrikson did a great job as Lockdown.
I hadn't really thought of Barricade, but that was good work for him, intimidating.
