Seki is doing Skids? The VA for my favorite anime character is doing the movieverse version of my favorite G1 character? I want to hear this, now.
Wait a minute... in Japan, the twins are Kamina and Domon Kasshu? Does that mean instead of them being posers, they call out their moves super robot style?
This is awesome. Its nice to see Konishi-san loyal to the franchise. Seki-san is welcome as well. I expected Genda-san as Prime which is great along w/ "Ligerjack", "Arcee", "Megazarak", "Wipe", and "Violenjiger" returning which is beyond awesome. But were missing Devastator and some other characters.
Must be great for our fellow Japanese TF fans, having so many voice actors from previous TF series. And thats awesome that they also got their G1 Optimus/Convoy to do Prime's voice in the movie.
Skids' oversized hand now BURNS WITH AN AWESOME POWER! So the Twins are going to be GAR in the Japanese dub of ROTF? Damn, I am dissappoint the English-speaking world gets Amos and Andy Autobots.
I can't believe I almost missed this topic. Its like gold to me. A majority to them were in G1. Thats good, though I'm hoping for the current prolific seiyuu. (ex: Jun Fukuyama, Rie Kugimiya, Shizuka Itou) But I'm satisfied w/ the notable ones such as "Tsunade", "Black Zarak", and "Yzak Joule". Wonder when the DVD to this will come out?
