Let's say Susan Blu got back with Voicebox for casting the Animated cast. Who do you think they would have? I say... Optimus-Mark Hilderth(sp) Ratchet- Michael Kopska Prowl- Brian Dobson Bulkhead- Alvin Sanders Bumblebee- Neil Denis Megatron- Mark Oliver Starscream-Doug Parker BlackArachnia- Venus Terzo Lugnut- Doug Brown Blitzwing-Trevor Devall Ultra Magnus- Richard Ian Newman Sentinel Prime- Sam Vincent Jazz- Scott McNeil
here's who'd voice them David Kaye-Optimus Prime,Megatron,Grimlock,Lugnut Scott Mcneil-Sentinel Prime,Wasp,Thundercracker,Omega Supreme,Jetfire Venus Terzo-Blackarchinda David Sobolov-Lockdown Brian Dobson-Prowl,Bumblebee,Longarm Prime/Shockwave Maryke Hedriske-Sari,Femescream Gary Chalk-Ultra Magnus Mark Oliver-Blitzwing,Captain Fanzone, Richard Newman-Ratchet Richard Cox-Ironhide,Skywarp,Jetstorm Robert O.Smith-Soundwave Ty Ollson-Jazz Susan Blu-Arcee Mark Acheson-Bulkhead Micheal Dobson-Starscream,Sunstorm,Ramjet Brain Drummond-Mixmaster,Blurr Terry Klassen-Scrapper everyone here has been in transformers at one point.
Agreed, other than giving Snarl and Swoop voice actors, I honestly wouldn't change a thing, as there's no point to do so, even in this what if situation.
Agreed. It seems somewhat strange to imagine any of the Animated cast with a different voice. This cast seems to have found good interaction with the characters and have found ways to impress themselves upon each character. The next series, whatever that may be, will have other VA's that will introduce their own influences upon characters and make them their own as well. A perfect example of why this cast should stay (and only 1 of many examples)- the improvised dialogue between Megatron and Starscream at the end of A Bridge Too Close, Part 2 with voices Corey Burton and Tom Kenny, respectively. I honestly couldn't 'hear' of any 2 better voices for that scene... Galvatro
Since almost all the characters' voices sounded close to the original VAs in G1... at least those characters who WERE in G1... I would have changed at least the voices of Optimus Prime and Bumblebee in Animated; I think Peter Cullen should reprise his role of Optimus, not just in the live-action movies but in Animated and whatever new series they might come up with in the future, and as for Bumblebee's voice... anybody knows a VA who could sound like G1 BB? Otherwise, the rest of the VAs can stay.
I could imagine it if Prime replaces Ultra Magnus, and gets some kind of upgrade (maybe even jump a certain amount of years into the future). Then having him sound older wold make sense.
definetly, Peter Cullen has the voice of a much older and wiser Prime. The VA's they have in animated at the moment are the characters.
Maybe Peter could do Rodimus's voice? Sure he's not a big badass G1 Prime-like character, but in that pic he looks so "angry" and mature it could fit his personality.
