- Peter Cullen voices Autobot leader Optimus Prime. He retains his alternate mode of a blue Peterbilt truck with red flame decals. Cullen recorded a voiceover for the opening scene in August 2008, but will begin the majority of voice work in November.[63][64] A live action cameo has been written for Cullen.
- Mark Ryan voices Bumblebee, the Autobot who befriended Sam and disguised himself as his fifth-generation Chevrolet Camaro. Ryan also continues his role as stand-in for the robots on set.
- Ironhide, the Autobot weapons specialist who transforms into a GMC Topkick. Jess Harnell voiced him in the first film.
- Ratchet, the Autobot medic who transforms into a search and rescue Hummer H2. Robert Foxworth voiced him in the first film.
- Arcee, an Autobot motorcycle with a feminine personality and appearance. Arcee was dropped from the first film as the writers felt there was not enough time to explain her "gender". Orci stated the issue could just be ignored in the film. Arcee has been redesigned from the concept art used for her toy and comic book appearances.
- "The Twins". According to leaked daily call sheets Michael Bay claimed he faked, they begin the film by combining into an ice cream van and later accompany Bumblebee to find Jetfire at the Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center. By that point they have reformatted into a Chevrolet Beat and Chevrolet Trax. The Beat's license plate reads "Skids", possibly indicating its final name, while the other Twin's name will be determined in post-production, as the dialogue can be re-recorded with the animation.
- Sideswipe, an Autobot Chevrolet Corvette.
- Jetfire, an Autobot SR-71 Blackbird. According to the call sheets, Jetfire starts out as a Decepticon, mirroring his character arc in the cartoon and comics.
