Nimoy is in "Transformers" (again)

Leonard Nimoy will be voicing one of the robots in "Transformers: Dark of The Moon." In addition to having previously voiced Galvatron in the original animated movie and being a living, breathing fanboy-reference in and of himself; Nimoy is Michael Bay's cousin and previously worked with writers Orci and Kurtzman on the "Star Trek" reboot. So... about four or five levels of reference/in-joke/shout-out casting right here.

In any case, he's voicing "Sentinel Prime," the bearded "old man" Autobot you saw in the TF3 teaser trailer. Supposedly he's Optimus' "father" (how does that work?) in this version, and his vehicle form is a firetruck. I didn't know they made pimped-out, douche-appeal "custom" firetrucks; though I'm sure Bay and company will find a way. I'm hoping that Optimus - in a hugely-unlikely coincidence - stumbles on him living in a cave, where he explains that he's actually from an alternate universe and that his being here is what's responsible for ALL of the hugely-unlikely coincidences, gigantic plot-holes and generally shitty writing up to this point...
