List your top 5, any series. Just curious 1.) Ironhide G1- I'm sorry, but Ironhide IMO is Cullen's best voice, not Prime. I wish in WFC they would have had him do both. It's depressing everytime I hear a Peter Cullen Prime having a conversation with a non-Cullen Ironhide. 2.) Dinobot BW-Perfect voice for a characrer that started out as evil, then joined the good guys. The fact that he was able to deliver so many serious lines in that voice is a testament to Mr. McNeil. 3.) Megatron G1-Too many villains in the 80s had the stereotypical "evil" voice, but Welker's Megs sounded like he'd been through millions of years of s**t and could still take you out. 4.) Soundwave G1-Come on, everyone remembers that voice, so much that all other actors who ahve played a Soundwave still use that vocoder effect. 5.) Jazz- always like the Transformer who sounded like Hong Kong Phooey Yours?
^ I don't think the OP is asking for voice artists, more which characters have the best voices. My choices go to: 1. G1/movie/WFC Optimus Prime. Two words - Peter Cullen. 2. Beast Wars/Beast Machines Megatron. So intelligent and vicious. The range of the character came through beatifully through his melodious and sinister tones. 3. G1 Starscream. Always copied, never bettered. 4. G1 Soundwave. The definition of 'iconic'. 5. Tie between Beast Wars Rattrap and G1 Shockwave. Both very different but just perfectly suited to their characters.
1) G1 Optimus Prime - Just a commanding presence with some John Wayne thrown in. 2) BW Megatron - Not just a good villain but a good character too. Yes... 3) G1 Starscream - You know the voice is good when it becomes the template for all other versions of that character's voice. 4) Rattrap - Who knew Transformers came from Jersey? 5) G1 Soundwave - Totally 80s and totally awesome. 6) G1 Grimlock - Fits that character, both robot and dinosaur, perfectly.

G1 Grimlock-Greg Berger Animated Starscream-Tom Kenny Movie Jetfire-Mark Ryan Beast Wars Megatron-David Kaye G1/MOVIE/WFC Optimus primes-Peter Cullen
G1/Animated Shockwave - Corey Burton G1/Film/WFC Prime - Peter Cullen G1 Thundercracker - John Stephenson BW/BM/Unicron Trilogy Megs - David Kaye G1 Soundwave - Frank Welker
G1/Movie/WFC Optimus Prime is all time number one in my book. G1 Megatron, agree wholeheartedly with D-Unit that the grizzled strain in it makes it both original and unforgettable. Movie Ironhide Movie Ratchet 86 Movie Kup G1 Perceptor 86 Movie Ultra Magnus
1. G1/Movie/WFC Optimus Prime - Peter Cullen is the Best! 2. UT Optimus Prime - Gary Chalk 3. 86/TFA Hot Rod/Rodimus Prime - Judd Nelson is the perfect voice for him! 4. Armada/Energon Hot Shot - Brent Miller 5. ROTF Sideswipe - André Sogliuzzo is damn good!
Cannot narrow it that much So Burton Bell Latta Kasem Mcneill Anything they do/did rocks imo Next top 3 Berger Cullen Welker Most of wfc voices were perfect IMO really loved ironhide breakdown and air raid.
G1 Prime BW Megs G1 Grimlock Dinobot BW Waspinator G1 Jazz G1 Shockwave Animated Ratchet Animated Wreck Gar G1 Soundwave
Just fixed that up for you, my man. Best? 1. BW Megatron. 2. Animated Starscream. 3. BW Primal 4. Any of Scott McNeil's BW voices. 5. Animated Swindle. WFC/Movie Op goes without saying.
