    Awesome interview.

    Paul Eiding:The only and so far still only real voice of preceptor aswell as Colonel Campbell in MGS and Grandpa Max in Ben10.

    :thumbs2: 

    I hope if Preceptor is in TF3, They choose Paul Eiding......

    This was a great interview! :D  Perceptor is one of my favorite characters; it's great to hear from the actor who provided his voice! :D  I'm glad to hear that he's still interested in Transformers. He seems to be a very friendly person. :) 

    I liked his comments about characters' intelligence and how he portrays them. It's kind of interesting how many intelligent characters he's played. Especially to me, comparing his roles as Transformer's Perceptor, to Final Fantasy's Hojo, two completely opposite-minded scientists.

    I was also disappointed in Animated Perceptor's voice and was really hoping for Paul Eiding to return; even more so when they said at Botcon that they would be able to hire him again. Perhaps for the DVD release? Wishing never hurts, right? :) 

    Thank you very much for whoever managed to get the interview! It was great, and I really enjoyed reading it! :D

    what exactly is a "line reading" I thought it was just reading the script, but it seemed like he was referring to something else?

    Yup Animated Perceptor's voice was such a disaster, need subtitles to understand his lines half the time. So now we know. Eiding = Perceptor, nothing else comes close :thumbs2:

    Awesome!! Now if they could only do a cartoon that actually respected the series and brought back this talent, it would be a good show.

    Ultra Magnus... a cursorary evaluation of Decepticon activity indicates a distinct tactical deficiency...

    In other words, Perceptor..

    We're outnumbered!!

    WAITAMINUTE!!!!! ROY CAMPBELL WAS PERECPTOR?!?!?

    I believe it's when the director or voice director tells an actor to say a line of dialogue in the exact same manner as the director. G1's voice director Wally Burr was rather infamous for forcing voice actors to stay in for the maximum 8 hour booking period and to "parrot" lines as how he would say it.

    Great interview, Perceptor's voice is one of those voices I can remember right away if I think about it. Great character as well. :)

    Pretty much. Its when the director reads out a line for them the way he wants to hear it, and the voice actor is expected to mimic what he did. You can imagine how that can be a bit irritating.

    Gul'Dan and Varimathras from Frozen Throne.

    I'm just going to post these and if people are wondering which characters in what he did, it's probably faster to just check through them, and more complete.

    Ah, thanks.

    Man, Varimathras sounds nothing like Perceptor. Paul has a very good voice range!

    I bet many members from G1, Armada and even BW didn't like 'em either and were doing it as their job.

    Does that make all series ever bad?

    Actually, he said he hadn't watched it, and was pissed off he didn't get a chance to reprise the role of Perceptor. Nice try though.
