The Hollywood Reporter has reported that Activsion has signed both Shia LaBeouf and Megan Fox as the voices of their characters from the Michael Bay Transformers Movie to the upcoming Transformers game, based on the movie.

The article also makes mention that Activsion has made the decision to hire Flint Dille, one of the writers of the original cartoon, to write the story for the game.

"Having a sound-alike or generic look-alike for Sam would not have had the same impact or given the player the same level of impressiveness as getting the real thing. The same holds true for Megan Fox's character, Mikaela Baines. All of these elements help weave the illusion that the game is really an extension of the film and intellectual property, and having them all synched to one another only benefits the end user".
