    :lol 

    I'll have to cast Burn Gorman as someone. Charlie Day is who i use for Swerve. I'm sorry for beating that as a dead horse.

    I've been re-watching Hellboy movies and suddenly it clicked to me:

    Rung - Doug Jones (Abe Sapiens from Hellboy)

    I think Cyclonus sounds like Christopher Lee.

    Ooh...that would be good. "We meet again my Vorpal adversary!" to Dai Atlas' Great Sword.

    Would that make Tyrest Peter Cushing and Star Saber Vincent Price?

    I can't imagine Star Saber sounding like that! :lol 

    I imagine Star Saber sounding like J. Michael Tatum.

    That's a good idea. I've been stumped on Star Saber mainly because 1.) He has no English voice to originate with and 2.) his character is vastly different from his anime counterpart and 3.) I'm not even there at that point in the story.

    I'm not that far, either, it just... fits for me. Mr. Tatum does an excellent, menacing voice for Scar in Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, and that's basically what I think Star Saber would sound like.

    Other than him:
    Rodimus- Judd Nelson
    Ultra Magnus- Robert Stack
    Ratchet- Jeffery Combs (it's my default Ratchet voice now)

    I'll think of more, I'm sure.

    I imagine Rodimus as sounding like Crispin Freeman. He does cocky characters very well. Drift alternates between Liam O'Brian and Richard Hayworth (Kenshin Humura from Rurouni Kenshin). Magnus has his TFP voice, as does Ratchet.

    Chromedome would be Steve Blum. Rewind would sound like Blades from Rescue Bots, cause his voice is adorable. Swerve would be Jason Marsden. Skids would sound a little like Wheeljack from TFP. Prowl would be Brian Dobson. Whirl would be Brian Drummond, similar to Energon Shockblast, very unhinged and crazy sounding. Rung just has a proper sounding British accent. First Aid would be Susan Dalian, Haku from Naruto.

    Why is everyone mostly having female vice actors playing First Aide? Is he secretly a female or something?

    O_O the truth comes out!!

    Lol, no, I just think that he's more petitely built than the rest of them. There was one panel in particular, in Life After the Big Bang, where First Aid was turned to the side, facing Ratchet and explaining what was happening with the virus. His profile and shape just look petite and a little more feminine than Ratchet's to me.

    So I think a softer voice would be more fitting. I just can't imagine him with a deep, manly voice. Not giving him a high-pitched schoolgirl voice or anything. XD Susan Dalian's voice for Haku wasn't overtly girly, since he was a boy, it was just gentle and soft. First Aid kinda strikes me as being the sensitive, soft-spoken type, and Haku's voice epitomizes that without being too girlish.

    I don't think I've read that issue. Is it the 4th issue of the series because I have that and I don't think I see First aide more feminine shape.

    Just my perception of things, the curve of his faceplate and chest just look more petite than Ratchet to me.

    Hmm...I haven't thought about this too much, most of the G1 guys (And Waspinator) sound to me like they did in their respective cartoons, but there are a couple that spring to mind:

    John DiMaggio (Bender from Futurama) as Whirl

    John C. McGinley (Dr. Cox from Scrubs) as Pharma (That literally just hit me and I can just hear him sounding wicked sinister, it's a lot of fun)

    Agreed! Dr. Cox would be a perfect Pharma! And he can bicker with the best of them!
