Who is doing the voices of Optimus & Megatron and is this canon with the 80's cartoon? I ask because the characters designs are very similar.

@osideous - it is canon to its own universe, its just like how the Marvel G1 comics are part of G1, but its set on its own continuity or the IDW G1 Comics for that matter.

@V8ER - I think that is Peter Cullen. He's just old now. They need to give him a rest.

It doesn't appear to Peter Cullen. None of the usual sites list him as the voice actor (IMDB, Wikipedia.) Apparently, it's just some soundalikes like what they did for Marty McFly in the recent Back to the Future game.
