Leonard Nimoy will come out of retirement for ‘Transformers: Dark of the Moon’. <\/p>\n

The 80-year-old star – who is most famous for the role of Spock in the ‘Star Trek’ TV show and movies – announced he was quitting acting last year but has been convinced to take on a role as the voice of Sentinel Prime in the third movie in the franchise starring Shia LeBeouf.<\/p>\n

Prime, the predecessor of Optimus Prime – whose wrecked body has featured in the movie’s trailer – is found crash-landed on the moon by the Apollo 11 astronauts in 1969. After being brought to earth, he disguises himself as a fire engine to take part in the film’s final battle scenes<\/p>\n

This won’t be his first time taking part in the science fiction action film series, Leonard voiced the character of Galvatron in ‘TheTransformers: The Movie’ in 1986.<\/p>\n

Director Michael Bay revealed he wanted the veteran star to appear in the second film of his rebooted ‘Transformers’ series ‘Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen’ but was too frightened to ask him. <\/p>\n

He explained to EW.com: “I was too scared to ask him. Plus, he’s married to Susan Bay, who’s a cousin of mine. So I had to be careful. I’ve met him at family functions. But he told me, ‘I would be honoured. I’m glad to be back!'”<\/p>\n

Michael also claims he has made a number of changes to the series after the second movie was critically savaged.<\/p>\n

He said: “The robots have more character in this movie. Much more. You really understand their struggle, on both sides actually,”<\/p>\n
