Description Transformers and all related characters are the property of Hasbro.  Blank meme  by Dimension-Dino .

Well, the majority voted for me to take a crack at Primus, Unicron, and IDW's version of the original Thirteen Transformers in its version of G1.

Primus: Patrick Stewart.  Thinking about his voice, I thought he'd make a great fit for Primus.

Unicron: Richard Moll.  I'll just leave this here.

Prima: Liam Neeson.  I was watching Oliver Harper's review of Darkman and recalled Neeson's role in The Phantom Menace, this occurred to me.

Vector Prime: Victor Caroli.  I hit on this idea a few years ago, which is "What if the narrator of the original Transformers cartoon was in fact, the G1 version of Vector Prime?"

Alpha Trion: Corey Burton.  Well, he still alive and he can do older now.

Solus Prime: Jamie King.  Well, she's voicing Solus in the upcoming Power of the Primes.  Hopefully, she'll be good.

Micronus Prime: Brent Spiner.  Inspired by how the character behaved in the 2015 Robots in Disguise cartoon and recalling Spiner as Puck, I thought he'd work.

Alchemist Prime: Kelsey Grammer.  My original idea when I did the Aligned 13, but given that Alchemist is supposed to be smart and Kesley's history of playing smart guys, I think he'd work.

Nexus Prime: Rick Wasserman.  Originally, this was going to be Fred Tatasciore, but I liked what Wasserman did as the Hulk in the Planet Hulk movie, so I decided to go with him as I thought it might fit Nexus.

Onyx Prime: Peter Lurie.  Again, this was going to be Tatasciore, but I decided to go with Lurie just to be different.

Amalgamous Prime: John de Lancie.  Amalgamous is supposed to be a bit of a jokester, so who else than Q/Discord himself?

Quintus Prime: Jonathan Frakes.  Recalling him as Xanatos and the High Evolutionary, I thought he could work.

The Liege Maximo: James Spader.  Granted, this is in part due to watching reruns of Boston Legal, but calling some of his roles, I thought he could work.

Megatronus/The Fallen: Mark Hamill.  I liked what he did in Titans Return and since that's basically G1, anyway, I decided to go with Mark Hamill.

The Arisen: Peter Cullen.  Well, I figured that even if it turns out that IDW!Optimus isn't the Arisen, it'd make it an effective red herring and my big gripe about the casting of Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox is that both Batmen didn't share the same voice, kinda ruining the reveal that Flashpoint!Batman is Thomas, not Bruce.

UPDATE: Since it was retconned that one of the Primes Rodimus talked to in the "Five Faces of Darkness" five-parter was Prima, I decided to recast accordingly.

Well, Patrick Stewart as Optimus Prime comes to mind, as does Mark Hamill as the Fallen and Peter Cullen as the Arisen.

Uh, I don't have Stewart as Optimus and I can't take credit for Mark Hamill as the Fallen.
