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.

      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?

    • Password Safe 3.72.0

      By Copernic · Posted

      Password Safe 3.72.0 by Razvan Serea Password Safe is a password database utility. Like many other such products, commercial and otherwise, it stores your passwords in an encrypted file, allowing you to remember only one password (the "safe combination"), instead of all the username/password combinations that you use. Once stored, your user names and passwords are just a few clicks away. Using Password Safe you can organize your passwords using your own customizable references—for example, by user ID, category, web site, or location. You can choose to store all your passwords in a single encrypted master password list (an encrypted password database), or use multiple databases to further organize your passwords (work and home, for example). And with its intuitive interface you will be up and running in minutes. PasswordSafe was originally designed by the renowned security technologist Bruce Schneier and released as a free utility application. Password Safe 3.72.0 changelog: Fixed bugs Improved font scale handling - should resolve font size issues on high resolution displays. GH1749 In the Master Password Setup window, "Show Master Password" is no longer truncated on some displays. GH1092, SF1595 Size and position of main window is now correctly restored on scaled displays. SF1630 Keep password expiry date when both password and password expiry are changed; don't clear a non-recurring expiry when the password's changed. SF1628 Custom values can now be copied to the clipboard in read-only mode via Ctrl-C and right-click->Copy Value. New features GH1196 Dark display mode support: Password Safe now supports the system display mode, as well as setting the mode directly via Manage->Options->Display->Display Mode. This change also updates the general "look & feel" of the app to the current Windows theme. Known limitations: The Date picker and keyboard shortcut controls do not switch to dark theme The Customize Toolbar dialog does not switch to dark theme Custom Field support has been added to the more advanced features: Filters XML and Text import and export Comparison, Sync and Merge databases SF938 Custom field values may now be selected by name and copied via a "Copy Custom Field Value..." submenu in the entry context popup menu.

    • Google DeepMind AI Control Roadmap: When Alignment Fails, Defense-in-Depth Takes Over

      By +TRS-80 · Posted

      Google DeepMind published a document on June 18, 2026, that may be the most consequential admission yet from a frontier AI lab: alignment training alone cannot guarantee that AI agents will remain under human control, so structural containment must be built before more capable models arrive.............. https://www.techtimes.com/articles/318758/20260620/google-deepmind-ai-control-roadmap-when-alignment-fails-defense-depth-takes-over.htm  
    • Creative Sound Blaster AE-X PCIe review: your headphones will love it

      By Taliseian · Posted

      I've got a SoundBlasterX G6 that I use in my streaming setup. Sounds great to me and I've had zero issues with the ancient software package so far in Win11. That G6 has 7.1, Dolby, fully working SPDIF and since it's a USB device it's outside of my rig so I don't have to worry about EMF distortion. Looks like for now this is a pass for me as I think I have better hardware....
