Transformers Role Recast
Project Overview
Hello everyone, and thank you for taking the time out of your day to check out my Transformers casting call 😊
Firstly, as a little introduction of who I am… My name is Daniel, a twenty four year old male from the UK. I instantly became a Transformers fan when I watched the first live-action movie when I was just eight years old, and since then I have created many different videos, mainly in the area of Transformers stop motions. I studied Film Studies when I was in secondary school, which has just added to my love of filmmaking and storytelling!
I am currently on track to make an entire cinematic universe where I tell my own story of Transformers, and I’d love you to be a part of it! You can check out my social media pages such as my YouTube channel TransformerFan5000 and my Instagram @tffan5000.
OVERVIEW:
This casting call is in relation to several project installments in my cinematic universe, where all of these roles are recasts. Some roles may be lead roles, and others may be one-shots. Sometimes (even if killed off in the story) a role may return in either flashback sequences or expanded universe stories that flesh out their characters more.Â
WHAT TO EXPECT
This project is non-paying, however, please feel free to use this as a voluntary experience where you can really experiment with your vocal ranges and refer to this as a voluntary project you undertook when you do go for those big paying roles that I know you can achieve!
If you are chosen for a role/s, then I will contact you in due course as we communicate further regarding the role/s and the screenplay. You may also be chosen for more than one role if you are successful.
If you are not chosen for a role/s, then please do not be disheartened. I often reserve some people to voice other roles in the future that may not be available yet.
All I ask is that I myself, my other cast members, my audience, and the project itself are respected. Any type of hatred, discrimination, harassment, etc. will not be tolerated.
REQUIREMENTS
Good quality microphone, it doesn’t have to be studio level of good, but just good enough to the point where the audio can be edited and cleaned up leaving the lines sounding good.
NOTE: All cast members will be expected to record, edit (general audio clean-up and effects if required), and send their lines to me. I am happy to assist cast members where I can, however, editing your own audio really allows me to begin production on projects much earlier which will then allow me to release the project much quicker!
Sadly, I have had many people join and leave the project, which makes it quite difficult to then pick up when someone has left, and I then am left having to find the right voice all over again. If you would like to be a part of my project, then you will be expected to return as your role/s if they later reappear in future installments in the project whether they be big or small roles.
MPORTANT NOTICE
On that note, any hateful or discriminatory behaviour in the group is also not tolerated as I like to keep this a safe space where everyone is welcome and feels comfortable just being themselves being and able to reach out for support if they need it. I really want to try to support others and any type of discriminatory behaviour, harassment, bullying, etc. will also result in a recast.
Keep it positive, constructive, and a friendly atmosphere! 😊
Good luck everyone! Please feel free to check out my work on my YouTube and share this casting call with those you think may be interested, it is open to all!

THIS ROLE IS A RECAST! ROLE NEEDS TO BE FILLED URGENTLY!
ROLE SIZE – LEAD
REOCCURING ROLE – YES
Bumblebee went from being a nobody and an absolute garbage of a fighter to almost Optimus Prime’s right hand and one of his top troops. Bumblebee is the Autobots lead scout which often finds him going alone or in a small team behind enemy lines to gain vital information to help aid the Autobots.Â
He inspires others and really gets to know people and wants to try and help them reach their full potential! However do not let this fool you… Bumblebee can go from his child-friendly self into serious mode within a fraction of a second, if it’s hitting the fan, then Bumblebee will go all out to prevent any potential harm and protect life at all costs. Bumblebee is without a doubt one of the most bravest Autobots there is out there, and knows any day can be your last, and that’s why he lives every single day like it IS his last…
BUMBLEBEE (greeting, polite): Name’s Bumblebee, nice to meet you. I don’t think I’ve seen you around here before?
BUMBLEBEE (annoyed): I can take care of myself thanks.
BUMBLEBEE (advising by making a joke): Y’remember we’re meant to be robots in disguise right?
THIS ROLE IS A RECAST!
ROLE SIZE – MINOR
REOCCURING ROLE - YES
Laserback may look threatening and dangerous, but he is the complete opposite. Still young and being brought online right into the war on Earth, he believes there is more to life than just fighting… I mean, there’s got to be, right?
Laserback is a Predacon, and his Predacon brothers and sister do not take him seriously due to his clumsy and very anxious behaviour and so they often avoid him to prevent unnecessary distractions. Laserback is actually quite polite and approachable, which is the complete opposite of what a Predacon should be. The only reason Laserback is still working with the Decepticons and his Predacons is because he is too afraid of the consequences of if he were to leave.
LASERBACK (worried Autobot backup may be on the way already): Er...boss, do you think their message got through to their base?
LASERBACK (informing): I’m checking my systems for anything that may be of interest and upon doing so I discovered that our brother’s vitals are down, they’re unconscious!
LASERBACK (scared): Oh please don’t hurt me boss.

ROLE SIZE –SMALL
REOCCURING ROLE -NO
As an arielbot, Silverbolt is a flier in the skies and takes peace and tranquility in meditative practices as well as being a chilled bot for any Autobot to hang around with, but when it comes to it, Silverbolt can really fight!
SILVERBOLT (astounded): Guys *slight laughter of joy*...Guys, guys it’s not the Nemesis!
SILVERBOLT (happy and excited, turns back to look at the sky above): Wait for it...
SILVERBOLT (mesmerized by his flight trips): If you were a flier, then… Primus then you’ll see some beautiful views here Cliffjumper.
