Here are the voices behind all of the robots in 'Transformers: The Last Knight' (2024)

Table of Contents
We'll start off with an easy one. Optimus Prime is back, but this time around he's working against his Autobot brothers. He's been voiced by Peter Cullen since the first film in 2007. It wouldn't be a Transformers' movie without fan favorite Bumblebee, who transforms into a 2016 Camaro. Erik Aadahl, a sound designer on the film, stepped in to lend Bee his voice. Bearded Transformer Hound transforms into a Mercedes-Benz Unimog military ambulance. John Goodman joined the cast in the last movie and reprises his role again in this film. There's another Autobot who looks similar to Hound called Daytrader. You may not have noticed that Steve Buscemi lent his voice to the shy bot. Drift is another one of the Autobots who looks like a Samurai. Oscar-nominated actor Ken Watanabe voices the Samurai Transformer. Cogman is one of the newest Transformers additions. He's a butler to Anthony Hopkins' character, Sir Edmund Burton, in the film. Cogman is voiced by Jim Carter — who played another famous butler on "Downton Abbey." Burton's bodyguard is Hot Rod, the Transformer with a thick French accent. Omar Sy lends his voice to the role. You may not recognize the name, but he's also appearedin a few other big movies including "Jurassic World" and "X-Men: Days of Future Past." Bulldog turns into a 1917 Mark IV tank and guards Edmund's castle. Mark Ryan, who has voiced several Transformers over the years including Bumblebee, lends his voice to the character. Crosshairs transforms into a black and green 2016 Corvette C7 Stingray. Voice actor John Dimaggio ("Adventure Time," "Samurai Jack," and "Zootopia") pulled double time as both Crosshairs and Decepticon Nitro Zeus. Sqweeks is a small loyal Transformer pet of newcomer Izabella. Unlike the other bots, he was actually made to be on set. Reno Wilson not only voiced Sqweeks but also Decepticon Mohawk — it's the Transformer with that exact hairstyle —who was briefly in the movie. Quintessa is the film's main villain and Optimus Prime's creator. She's played by Gemma Chan who can be seen in "Humans" and "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them." Once again, Optimus Prime's main nemesis Megatron is trying to destroy the planet. Frank Welker — the voice behind Fred in "Scooby Doo" — stepped in to take over voicing duties in "The Last Knight." Megatron's right-hand man in the movie is Barricade, a Transformer under the guise of a Mustang police vehicle. He's voiced by Jess Harnell — who kids may recognize as the voice of Animaniac Wakko. Wheelie is a former Decepticon from the first film who can transform into a small blue truck. The voice of Spongebob, Tom Kenny, has brought him to life in three of the five "Transformers" movies.
