No, I know Peter Cullen will not be doing Optimus' voice like the old days. Apparently he does not want to do voices for violent characters anymore. But the new guy is gonna do the voice as similarly as possible.
The cartoon was on in Japan, so I believe these will be translated and dubbed. I heard they were a bit "dumbed down" for kids, a la Pokemon, Power Rangers, etc... but hopefully still watchable for long-time TF fans like myself. And the bad guys are called Predacons on the toy packages even though the good guys are Autobots again!
