According to TheTransformers.net, they have received an e-mail from David Kaye stating that he will be voicing Optimus Prime in the upcoming Transformers: Heroes cartoon. "I’ve been cast as the new ‘Optimus Prime’....yes, Optimus Prime !!!!!! The new cartoon series being recorded at Cartoon Network in Los Angeles. You’re the first to know on the other side of the Atlantic," Mr. Kaye writes to board member "cuddles1977." Mr. Kaye's previous credits in the Transformers universe have all been of Megatron in Beast Wars, Beast Machines, Armada, Energon, and Cybertron. If this e-mail is legitimate, this also confirms that Cartoon Network will produce the cartoon. Previous rumors are also that the show has been given a 26-episode run as opposed to the 52-episode run that Armada, Energon, and Cybertron have been given. Thanks to "Blitz" of our TFans board for the news.
