Transformers IDW - Motion Comic Dub

Project Overview

Hello everyone! Back at it again with more auditions for StarForce Media’s motion comic dub of Transformers! At the moment, we are looking to cast a few more characters in the series.


We all know Transformers, and have grown up with it in some way, shape or form. With many more stories coming out to this day. And the IDW comic books are something special, with so much lore, history and detail integrated into the story with characters you can relate to, this version of Transformers is truly one of a kind, and we at StarForce Media are giving it the love it deserves by adapting it into a high quality, motion comic production. A few episodes have already been released on the channel, and many more are in the works. Here’s a link to the StarForce Media YouTube channel for those who wish to look more at the work we’ve done: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgZUFZiZAi7LIOAEg_rg7RA


Story: 

The Autobot and Decepticon Civil War has waged on for over six million years as it expanded across the entire galaxy, with thousands of planets being dragged into the crossfire. Cybertron became a dead husk, worlds fell, civilizations were destroyed by the never-ending conflict. Yet after so many years of war, it finally ended. The war was over and both factions now struggle to cope with the new post-war environment. With many such as Rodimus and his crew taking off on a quest to search for the Knights of Cybertron, while Bumblebee remained to take charge of his new government on a Cybertron brought back to life. 


This production will not only cover the post-war storyline, but various stories that chronologically take place during the Cybertronian Civil War. Whether it’s the origins of former miner turned tyrant, Megatron, or the Wreckers’ suicide mission on Garrus-9, or taking a look inside the mind of one of the main antagonists, Shockwave, every tale crucial to the events of Phase 2 will be told as well.


Notes to consider: 

This is a long-running production so do keep that in mind if you are cast. Should a problem arise, please let us know ASAP. You must stay in contact with us in some way, shape, or form, whether that's through Discord or email. If you cannot commit to a project of this length, then please don't audition. Nothing personal, but there have been many delays involving cast members dropping out and it's imperative that we keep production ahead.


Project Requirements:

-Have a good, quality microphone and recording space. (XLR or USB, no echo/reverb)

-Must be comfortable with mild swearing. There isn't an excessive amount, nor is it strong, but it's something to point out in case you’re uncomfortable with that.

-Ability to meet deadlines.

-Do NOT submit recordings with robotic effects. Any and all effects will be handled in post.

-Must be willing to scream if a scene calls for it.

-Must be willing to commit to a long-term project.


Deadline: April 25th, 11:59 P.M. PST


If you have any questions, please let us know. Happy recording!

Role assigned to: Kieran Regan

Captain of the Lost Light. A young Autobot who's known for bending the rules, performing reckless acts, and surfing on meteorites. He isn’t one to follow authority and tends to do things his own way, even if it endangers others around him. He can also be very narcissistic, creating ships or objects based off of the shape of his own head. A maverick daredevil, as Prowl would describe him. Despite this, he does have a good heart and cares deeply about his friends and allies, seeing his crew as family. A true adventurer with a heart of gold who tends to get in over his head. Note: Rodimus/Hot Rod is one of the major characters in the series and he will have a lot of lines, so be prepared.

Voice Type: Medium, medium-high, young, headstrong, reckless, cocky, confident; ideally we’d like something similar to our previous Rodimus: https://youtu.be/dL3HwSGxqg0?t=54.  However, we are open to other interpretations as well. Other vocal references would be similar to Yuri Lowenthal or Max Mittelman as examples. Please do not try to focus on impressions though, these are just general guidelines for what we are looking for.

  • (Reassuring, laid-back) “My advice? Ease up a bit. You can be too rigid in your outlook--a little flex is good sometimes. Better to bend than snap.”

  • (Cocky, full of himself) “Yeah, well, none of my friends have flames on their chest. It’s a lot to live up to.”

  • (Giving an order, refusing to let his friend die) “What--? No! That’s--that’s completely unacceptable! I order you to survive!”

  • (Confident, thinks highly of himself and his establishment) “What can I say? This is my patch and these are my people. Can I get you a drink?”

Hardhead

Role assigned to: BenGranger

One of the toughest ‘bots you’ll ever meet. A soldier to the core and with a stubborn streak, he tends to work solo or with very few friends. Stoic, reflective, and ready for action when the job calls for it. There isn’t much that can harm Hardhead, he can even take a bullet to the head and still come out standing. Not much fazes him, and he doesn’t seek out anything but fighting. He was born a soldier and when the war ends, he’ll be a walking relic of what he once was. And he knows this. Yet despite it all, his bravado and his strength, he’s loyal to the few friends he has made and usually travels with them throughout the galaxy to keep himself occupied.

Voice Type: Medium, medium-low, gruff. Accent: Any.

  • (In disbelief) “I don’t care if he says he’s not… only Optimus Prime would ever be that stupidely heroic.”

  • (Serious, focused, yet uneased) “I keep Nightbeat in my sights, target locked. If it comes to the crunch, I’ll do what’s necessary. Won’t be the first time.”

  • (Aggressive, ready to fight) “Hey yappy! On behalf of taciturn types everywhere, allow me to punch your mouth off!”
