Humans
- Shia LaBeouf plays Sam Witwicky, the teenager who killed Megatron. He attends an East Coast college to learn astronomy.[47] On July 27, 2008, LaBeouf was involved in a car crash and had to undergo hand surgery. The character getting burned in the story was an unrelated decision. LaBeouf said production was only delayed by two days after his accident because Bay made up for it by filming second unit scenes, and he recovered from the accident a few weeks earlier than expected, allowing him to return to the set. Bay had suggested the hand injury will be written into the story, but Orci said on-set rewrites were done to protect his hand for the remainder of the shoot. Towards the end of filming though, LaBeouf injured his eye when he hit a prop, which required seven stitches. He resumed filming two hours later.
- Megan Fox plays Mikaela Banes, Sam's girlfriend, who cannot afford to attend college with him. Fox had lost a lot of weight for her role in Jennifer's Body, and had to gain ten pounds within three weeks. She explained "Michael [Bay] doesn't like skinny girls."
- Josh Duhamel plays Captain William Lennox, an ally of the Autobots. Since the first film Lennox has become part of an international taskforce battling Decepticons with the Autobots.
- Tyrese Gibson plays Robert Epps, an ally of the Autobots and member of Lennox's team. He has been promoted to the position of Master Sergeant.
- John Turturro plays Reggie Simmons, former agent of the terminated Sector 7 unit, which monitored Transformer activity on Earth.
- Matthew Marsden plays Graham, a member of the United Kingdom Special Forces who joins Lennox's team. Marsden grew up reading the comic book and loved the first film. Bay was impressed with his audition and decided to increase the character's screentime.
- Isabel Lucas plays Alice, a new character who goes to Sam's college.
- Ramon Rodriguez plays Leo.
- Steve Tom has a "principal" role, according to his website.
- Kevin Dunn and Julie White play Ron and Judy, Sam's parents. Orci wrote, "Love them! Gotta have them back." He confirmed they learned the truth about the Transformers while off-screen in the last film.
Rainn Wilson cameos as a university professor, while Kym Whitley has an unnamed part. Bay wanted Amaury Nolasco to return as soldier Jorge Figueroa, who was wounded by Scorponok in the first film, but Nolasco was not able to participate due to schedule conflicts (he may appear in a third film).
