    I loved Ironhide's follow-up to that.

    Yeah, was a bit strange, they could have used Ryan for that, it wan't terrible mockney though, he was definitely trying to go for a Ray Winstone style, and wasn't that far off.


    On reflection, you may be right, I assumed that he was yelling at Epps who was working them hard to get the ship ready, but it might have been directed at Topspin who was also on the ground. Dammit, I need the Blu-ray and sub titles naow! Either way though, Wreckers Rule!!!

    All the VA's for all three movies were excellent, but I can tell they went all out for the third, it was awesome. Well done fellas and to the lady who voiced Arcee.

    No I agree, but as an Englishman you can always tell. I find that American actors can usually do extremely good what I call 'cut glass' English accents (see Renee Zellweger, Angelina Jolie...) but once you start trying to get them to do a regional dialect, it tends to fall apart. The exception being Johnny Depp who I find to be very good at British accents.

    It does work both ways though, Christian Bale does an astonishing American accent IMO (what do Americans think about this?) but Daniel Craig in Tomb Raider is hilariously bad.

    The VAs were indeed awesome this go around and the entire trilogy as well.

    Roadbuster really did remind me of Billy Connolly at times! Loved him!

    Also, props to PC, as I felt Prime had a much more diverse range of emotions this time around.

    Yep, if you didn't know better you'd think Bale was American. The only other example of an American doing British well I can think of atm is James Marsters in Buffy. I'm sure there's loads more, but I'm tired and it's late...

    I especially like how they got well-known actors to play each villain - Hugo Weaving, Tony Todd, and Leonard Nimoy; Megatron, The Fallen, and Sentinel, respectively. I know The Fallen didn't live up to his character potential, but by God, Tony Todd was the right choice.
