I’m not only a die-hard Transformers fan but I’m also an admitted Trekkie so this next bit of news really piqued my interest.  I don’t know how many of you saw the original cartoon Transformers: The Movie (1986) but Leonard Nimoy (best known as Spock from Star Trek) provided the voice of Galvatron.

Roberto Orci, who is a writer on Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen has said that he would like to have Nimoy as the voice of a character in the new movie (I’d love it too!).

As if that’s not a big enough incentive, Bay revealed something else: “You know, he’s (Nimoy) related to me.  And now that you are filming this, maybe you can send it to him. [Nimoy] is married to Susan Bay, who’s a cousin to me.  I just feel kind of bad about asking him. Like ‘I can’t pay you that much? But would you do this voice?’  Would he do it?  He suggested to my mom that he might do it.”

Wow… when all else fails, go to the director’s mom!
