Ron Perlman and The Last Jedi’s Mark Hamill join Transformers: Prime Wars

Star Wars: The Last Jedi star Mark Hamill will join Sons of Anarchy star Ron Perlman as voices in Transformers: Prime Wars.

Star Wars icon Mark Hamill’s voice-work resume is quite extensive. His voice is perhaps most well known for his work as the Joker in several Batman animated series films, but he has done much more than that, including a guest role in Transformers: Rescue Bots in 2014. Now, Hamill is once again voicing a Transformer, and this time it’s in Machinima’s Transformers: Prime Wars Trilogy.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Hamill will voice Megatronus, “the first Decepticon, exiled from Cybertron after murdering one of the other original Thirteen Primes.” Ron Perlman will voice a character called Optimus Primal.

Transformers: Power of the Primes, written by Adam Beechen and produced by F.J. DeSanto, is set to launch later this year and will close out the Prime Wars Trilogy. The trilogy premiered in 2016 withTransformers: Combiner Wars, and was followed up Titans Return.

Other voice actors include the WWE’s Samoa Joe as Predaking, Gregg Berger returning to the role of Grimlock, Judd Nelson returning as the voice of Rodimus Prime/Hot Rod, and Wil Wheaton as Perceptor.

This news comes hot on the heels of Hamill’s defining role as Luke Skywalker in The Last Jedi, a film that was universally loved by critics and caused a division among the Star Wars fanbase. Rian Johnson’s take on Star Wars was the most artistically beautiful Star Wars film in the entire saga, an opinion that isn’t very popular among the subgroup of Star Wars fans who believe Johnson ruined their childhood.

Hopefully, Hamill won’t ruin any more childhoods as the voice of Megatronus, in an animated Transformer film. (I hope you read that last line in the most sarcastic voice you could muster.) You can watch Machinima’s Transformer series by visiting go90.
