Notes

[edit]
  • Being the regular voice of Tom Hanks, Puymartin voiced him in numerous films including Apollo 13 and Forrest Gump. When Bumblebee uses his radio to quote Jim Lovell or Forrest Gump in Revenge of The Fallen ("Houston, we have a problem', "There are some things you just can't change" and "If there's anything you need, I won't be far away."), Jean-Philippe Puymartin came in studio to re-record the lines (some of them in a slightly different way) with Jim and Forrest voices.
