The 27-year-old actor will be voicing the titular Autobot in the upcoming sci-fi action film which will be the first feature in the franchise that shows Bumblebee being able to speak as in the main franchise as the yellow-and-black robot – which transforms into a Chevrolet Camaro car – can only communicate via its in-vehicle radio.

The pair soon find themselves hunted by the government agency known as Sector 7, led by Agent Burns (John Cena). As they flee for their safety they learn that they are not the only Transformers on Earth and the Decepticons they encounter have plans for world domination.
Jorge Lendeborg Jr., John Ortiz, Jason Drucker, Pamela Adlon and Stephen Schneider also star in the movie.
The screenplay is written by Christina Hodson and Kelly Fremon Craig.
