• Michael Bell as Slimestone: An evil Rock Lord.
• Foster Brooks as Stoneheart: An evil Rock Lord.
• Peter Cullen as Tombstone: An evil Rock Lord.
• Peter Cullen and Frank Welker as Sticks 'N' Stones: An evil Rock Lord who seems to be a conjoined twinned Golem with Sticks as the right head and Stones as the left head (from the viewer's point). For comedic effect, the two heads (each voiced by a different actor - ironically, Cullen and Welker are arguably best remembered as the voices of Optimus Prime and Megatron, opposing leaders in the original Transformers cartoon) regularly argue with each other. the name derives from the old saying "Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never harm me.".
• Richard Gautier as Brimstone: An evil Rock Lord.
• Arthur Burghardt as Turbo: A Guardian warrior who travels to Quartex with Leader-1. Transforms into a concept car.
• Marilyn Lightstone as Crasher: A Renegade warrior who travels with Cy-Kill, she transforms into a Porsche 956.
• Peter Cullen as Pincher: A Renegade mutant who travels with Cy-Kill, who transforms into a spaceship.
• Darryl Hickman as Hornet: A Renegade mutant who travels with Cy-Kill, he transforms into a spaceship. The film represents Hornet's debut, but he also has appeared in two episodes of the TV series.
• Richard Gautier as Bugsie: A Renegade mutant who travels with Cy-Kill, he transforms into a tank.
• B. J. Ward as Small Foot: A Guardian captured along with Solitaire, who transforms into a Toyota Hilux.
• Morgan Paull as Matt Hunter: A UNICOM astronaut and their liaison with the Guardians, Matt travels with Leader-1 to Quartex.
• Leslie Speights as A. J. Foster: A UNICOM cadet kidnapped by Cy-Kill.
• Ike Eisenmann as Nick Burns: A UNICOM cadet kidnapped by Cy-Kill.
• Several other Gobots have cameo or walk-on scenes during the early stages of the film, including Fitor, Cop-Tur, Herr Fiend, Heat Seeker, Klaws, Sparky, Rest-Q, Dozer, Zeemon, Twin Spin, Twister and Stallion. In an odd animation error, Herr Fiend and Baron Von Joy's roles were reversed, with each Gobot fulfilling the other's role, and being referred to by name. This error is especially odd as it required several scenes of animation, yet the error is consistent throughout.
