Weird, eh?! If you're not Transformers fan than, the answer to that question should be yes. Apparently, Hanks is a big ass fan of the Transformers (one link has video of Hanks talking about them). And then there's this John Woo ho-ha, hasn't he made enough bad choices already (ie Paycheck, Windtalkers)?

yep we all hold (or most) a kindred love of transformers, prime all that. It doesnt mean we get to be prime as Hanks T has recently been quoted after sPEILBERG SECURED A HASBRO deal. I mean what if I dunno James Gandolfini or steve martin express a love of Prime should they be given the spot of autobot matrix of life? Nar, Hanks is not well suited as a character or voice over for Prime, needa Husky commanding voice, prescence of authority like Eastwood, Hey I know lets give De Caprio the role of Megatron and Chris Tucker the role of Starscream. Jim Carey can do Soundwave. I mean the mind boggles at this thought of hanks being prime, it cannot happen will not.
Use some old thespian actor Chris Lee type, hopkins, picard?
