Return to Pro­vide Voice-Over Performances

Santa Mon­ica, CA — May 15, 2009 — Activi­sion Pub­lish­ing, Inc. (Nas­daq: ATVI) has assem­bled an all-star cast for the upcom­ing Trans­form­ers: Revenge of the Fallen video game, includ­ing the film’s leads Shia LaBeouf and Megan Fox, who will reprise their star­ring roles in the game, and fan favorites Peter Cullen and Frank Welker, the voices of OPTIMUS PRIME and MEGATRON from the orig­i­nal ani­mated series. In the new game, devel­oped under license from Has­bro, play­ers are thrust into an adrenaline-pumping bat­tle to defend Earth from a DECEPTICON attack that threat­ens mankind.

“Trans­form­ers: Revenge of the Fallen fea­tures an exten­sive line-up of film actors, along with the voice tal­ent that fans will rec­og­nize from the clas­sic ani­mated series,” said Rob Kos­tich, head of mar­ket­ing for licensed prop­er­ties, Activi­sion Pub­lish­ing, Inc. “The diverse cast allowed us to not only cap­ture the epic sto­ry­line from the film, but also seam­lessly expand the fic­tion to cre­ate a unique and authen­tic TRANSFORMERS expe­ri­ence that fans of all ages will enjoy.”

In addi­tion to Shia LaBeouf and Megan Fox, Peter Cullen (Opti­mus Prime), Mark Ryan (Bum­ble­bee), Jess Har­nell (Iron­hide), Charles Adler (Starscream) and Robert Fox­worth (Ratchet) reprised their film roles for the game. Voice-over vet­er­ans John Di Mag­gio (Side­ways) and James Arnold Tay­lor (The Fallen) also join the roster.

The Trans­form­ers: Revenge of the Fallen video game is based on the upcom­ing live-action fea­ture film from Dream­Works Pic­tures and Para­mount Pic­tures in asso­ci­a­tion with Has­bro, which opens nation­wide on June 24, 2009.* The game lets play­ers take on the role of their favorite AUTOBOTS or DECEPTICONS, pick­ing from the largest, most diverse range of playable Trans­form­ers — each with their own dis­tinct abil­i­ties and weaponry. Set in unique envi­ron­ments across the globe such as Cairo and Shang­hai, the game allows play­ers to instantly switch between vehi­cle and robot modes as they drive, fly, fight and blast their way through intense, pressure-packed lev­els. After engag­ing in sin­gle player action, play­ers for the first time ever will be able to go online and bat­tle friends in all-new mul­ti­player modes.
