* 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.

A teaser trailer, but not the final trailer.

[~ Rogue ~]

I'll reserve judgment as to if I even want to see a third one until after I see the second. First one was pretty good, though.

[Scirwode]

Wait haven't we seen a trailer?

That was my thought as well.
