Faith No More front man Mike Patton has reportedly been tapped to voice one of the robots of Michael Bay’s upcoming “Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen.”
A ‘close friend of the musician’ revealed that Patton will have a vocal role that is more of a cameo than anything of significance. He will voice either Mixmaster, the cement mixer truck, or Long Haul, the dump truck – both of whom are part of the collective Constructicons, whose seven members can join to form the transformer known as Devastator, as seen in the trailer.
Patton also wrote the score for Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor’s “Crank 2: High Voltage” and, somewhat strangely, did creature vocal effects in “I Am Legend.” “Revenge Of The Fallen” is out in cinemas July 25th and has the honor of being a part of The Playlist’s Least Anticipated Films of 2009.
Meanwhile, Bay has said he’s not opposed to quickly killing-off robots in ‘Transformers 2’ and that he does just that in the sequel rather unapologetically.
