* Rosie Huntington-Whiteley plays Carly. Sam's new love Interest who was in the original 1984 animated series. Huntington-Whiteley had worked with director Michael Bay before in various Victoria's Secret commercials. Other actresses considered for the role included Gemma Arterton, Bar Refaeli, Miranda Kerr and Brooklyn Decker.

* Patrick Dempsey plays Dylan, Carly's boss, who is a race-car driver with a huge collection of cars. Dempsey described his role as "darker" than others and "significant to the plot".[36] Dempsey was initially cast to play Mikaela's boss but with Mikaela out of the movie, he'll be playing Carly's boss.

* Alan Tudyk plays Dutch, Agent Simmons' assistant.

* John Malkovich plays Bruce, Sam's first boss.

* Frances McDormand plays US government's National Intelligence Director.

According to representatives for Paramount, Megan Fox will not appear in the film because Bay ultimately chose not to renew Fox's role, although representatives for the actress said that it was her decision to leave the film franchise. With Fox not reprising her role, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley was chosen to play Sam's new love interest. Ken Jeong will have an undisclosed role in the film, and Kym Whitley has declared being involved in the shoots. A casting call for extras for the film has been said to call for actors to play Iranian military men for scenes to be filmed in Los Angeles, and reportedly the Ukrainian army will be involved as well.

Autobots

* Peter Cullen voices Optimus Prime, the Autobot leader. He retains his alternate mode of a blue Peterbilt Truck with Red Flame Decals, with the addition of a trailer similar to his G1 counterpart. He was modified to look more heroic.

* Bumblebee, Sam's guardian that turns into a fifth-generation Chevrolet Camaro. Bumblebee has also gone through some changes, his alternate mode featuring a new body kit and paint job. He was modified to look more mature.

* Jess Harnell voices Ironhide, the Autobot weapons specialist who transforms into a GMC Topkick.

* Robert Foxworth voices Ratchet, the Autobot medic who transforms into a search and rescue Hummer H2. Ratchet also had some changes done to his alt mode, he has been painted green and white.

* Andre Sogliuzzo voices Sideswipe, the Autobot who has now been upgraded to a silver Chevrolet Corvette Centennial Convertible.

* Rodimus, An Autobot who will debut as a Ferrari 458 Italia.[21].

* An Autobot will debut as a red/black Rosenbauer Panther fire truck. A security guard said that it would be Sentinel Prime, Optimus Prime's father.

* James Avery will provide the voice of Silverbolt, one of the Autobot-allied Aerialbots.

* The Wreckers, an Autobot sub-team that transform into heavily armed NASCAR Chevrolet Impala stock cars equipped with machine guns. They function as a Commando Unit. The members of the Wreckers are:

o Juan Pablo Montoya's #42 Target car.

o Dale Earnhardt, Jr.'s #88 AMP Energy/National Guard car.

o Jimmie Johnson's #48 Lowe's/Kobalt car.

* Tom Kenny voices Skids and Reno Wilson voices Mudflap, also known as the twins. Although Bay denied that Skids and Mudflap would appear in the third film, two Chevrolet Spark cars with Autobot insignias resembling the Twins have been spotted. This has led to speculation that Bay's denial may be part of a "misinformation campaign" by Bay, like the one he put up for Revenge of the Fallen.

* A blue Mercedes-Benz E550 will debut as an Autobot, he is confirmed to be the same robot whose form looks similar to Albert Einstein. There was speculation that his name was to be Q, which turned out to be false. It is said that he could be Wheeljack.

* Tom Kenny also voices Wheelie, a blue radio-controlled toy monster truck. A former Decepticon that joined the Autobots.

Some of the Autobots have undergone some minor visual modifications for the third film in the series.

Decepticons

* Hugo Weaving voices Megatron, the Decepticon leader that is rumored to change his alternate mode to an Armored Mack Titan tank truck equipped with heavy weaponry.

* Charlie Adler voices Starscream, the Air Commander who transforms into an F-22 Raptor.

* Frank Welker voices Soundwave, Megatron's Communication officer that transforms into a Cybertronian Satellite.

* Shockwave, revealed by Michael Bay as the main villain.

* A Decepticon has been revealed to turn into a Superfund Armored Truck.

* Four Decepticons have been revealed to turn into Chevrolet Suburban emergency vehicles. They were said to be Decepticon clones called the Dreads.

It has been said that two robot assassins that will appear and murder humans in a scene to be filmed in Sherman Oaks. A black Dodge Charger SRT-8 is rumoured to appear as a Decepticon. There will be a scene which will involve a huge Decepticon tipping over a building which Sam is in.

Others

A red Chevrolet Silverado, was spotted with tinted windows but it is unknown if they are Transformers. Also another Peterbilt truck attached with a Cement Trailer and a Volvo truck were spotted being used in a chase sequence and are believed to be Transformers. A Maybach 62 Landaulet, a JetTrain, a Black/Orange Chevrolet Impala were spotted and are believed to be Transformers. A red Chevrolet Camaro was also spotted on set.

Mark Ryan is confirmed to be voicing several characters in film.

      Looks like the 7.1 is fake effects, can it at least do real 5.1? It says 'virtual 7.1' in all descriptions.

      You can't, if you didn't notice, it doesn't support surround at all, it's right in the spec list.
    • Creative Sound Blaster AE-X PCIe review: your headphones will love it

      Hi — I’m always interested in soundcards. Like displays, I just want to know I’m getting as much clean “sonic juice” into my brain as possible as the years take their toll. I’m not entirely sure what to take away from this review, though. It doesn’t really tell me whether the AE‑X is a good product or who it’s actually for. Most of what I’m getting is: there’s a driver to install, here’s what it looks like, and here’s what’s in the box. There’s a lot of emphasis on the SPDIF input. When you mention not needing to switch headphones between console and PC — does that mean the PC has to be powered on just to pass audio through? That seems like a fairly big waste of energy. Is this more something a streamer would use alongside a capture card? How are you testing the sound? (Also, you might want to clarify that you’re using the headphones in wired mode when you mention they’re wireless.) You mention the lack of EMI shielding — how much real‑world difference does that make compared with typical motherboard audio? On multi‑channel: what exactly isn’t supported? Does this mean Windows spatial audio (Dolby Atmos for Headphones, DTS Headphone:X, etc.) won’t work, or just that the card itself doesn’t decode surround formats? And are there any true multi‑driver “surround” headphones left that would even use that? You also highlight support for high‑impedance headphones — but what does that translate to in practice? How does it compare to driving the same headphones from a normal device, and does it make any difference for everyday, lower‑impedance models? In short, who is this card actually targeted at?

      Yes, THIS is wordart, not the styling that can now be done. Wordart was all about those curvy words, that you could change the path of, like making words go around a circle. I don't think it can be done now, right?
