Luke Skywalker and Hellboy Join Transformers: Prime Wars Trilogy (Updated)

With the just concluded run of Transformers: Titans Wars, it is already time to turn a little bit of attention to the concluding chapter of the Prime Wars Trilogy. Today Machinima and Hasbro have announced that Mark Hamill (the best Joker voice, Star Wars) and Ron Perlman (Hellboy, many other things) have joined the voice cast of Transformers: Power of the Primes. Hamill will voice Megatronus while Perlman will voice Optimus Primal (the character was fan voted to be the next Prime...). Other new voice actors joining the series will be Mikey Way (My Chemical Romance, my guess is voice of Jazz), Jaime King (Sin City, my guess is voice of Arcee), Gregg Berger (G1 Grimlock and likely reprising the role), and Samoa Joe as Predaking. Returning actors include Wil Wheaton (Perceptor), Judd Nelson (Rodimus), and Kari Wahlgren (Windblade). The final season will launch sometime in the second quarter (so Spring/Summer).

Update: The pair released the official voice cast and role list along with poster for Megatronus.
