The one in red is named Shatter and is voiced by Angela Bassett (Mission: Impossible: Fallout, 911) with a Plymouth Satellite alt mode.
The blue one is Dropkick, voice by Justin Theroux (The Leftovers), with an AMC Javelin alt mode.

“The two main villains are Decepticon muscle cars,” says director Travis Knight (Kubo and the Two Strings).
“When the cast is too big, and you have a finite amount of time, there’s only so much you can do to create an investment in them,” Knight says. “This is a more personal, intimate, and character-driven story, so it felt right to keep the villain plot relatively simple and contained. If you keep things lean, you can add a lot of other stuff on top of it that makes it more enjoyable.”
They look like they could be triple-changers.
