    I think someone else suggested Ron Perlman as Tarn. I'm inclined to go with that casting.

    God, could you imagine how awesome it would be to actually have these voice-overs for these comics?

    I just can't even fathom how awesome a motion comic with voice-overs (or dare I hope, a cartoon adaption) would be if it was done right... :eek: 

    I'm thinking of his voice for Rad on Armada. Just had that kind of "young kid" sound it, to me. I don't really know why I use that voice. It just kinda popped into my head the moment I first saw Tailgate. I actually tried to change it, because I didn't like it at first, but my brain is insistent. XD and now I kinda like it.

    And yay for approval!

    Mother of God, I think I just came up with a perfect voice!!

    Willem Dafoe as Jhiaxus!!

    Edit: I just thought of another one... John Noble as Nova/Nemesis Prime (Utilizing his Transformers Prime Unicron voice).

    Thank you, sir. I appreciate that enough to incorporate that into my sig. Hope you don't mind.

    Maybe you'll enjoy this...

    Well, ma'am, anyway. I'm a girl. But don't worry about it. :D 

    Oh my God, no, I don't mind at all! I'm so honored! Awesome!

    Love the picture, by the way. XD

    I'm still looking for a voice for Pharma...anyone have any suggestions? I'm stuck...

    ^I'd suggest Lance Henrikson, but Lockdown exists...

    Maybe Bumper Robinson's Mumm-Ra?

    Well, you said "sir" first (Correctly, I might add), I thought about not saying "sir", but I thought it impolite not to. Meh, I had a 50/50 shot.

    John C. McGinley. Seriously, he's perfect. Then, picture him having that conversation with Lance Henrikson as Lockdown.

    It's fine. XD It's impossible to distinguish gender over the internet. I'm surprised I got the "sir" right the first time, myself.

    And I will certainly look him up tomorrow, but right now I'm about to fall asleep sitting up. ×_×

    If you've ever seen Scrubs, he is Dr. Cox.

    I'm just imagining Jhiaxus saying all of Dafoe's lines from Boondock Saints...dying

    Since I am not in the Jeffery Combs is Ratchet camp, I suggest him. He is my Pharma.

    Ehh, sorry, he's my Ratchet. After TFP, I just can't read him as anyone else but Jeffrey Combs. He just IS Ratchet.

    Had to look him up, cause I had never watched Scrubs...all I can say is wow...

    At last, I have found my Pharma. You were right, he's perfect. Like, so perfect it's almost scary.

    Thank you so much for your suggestion! :)

    See, I can't do it. I tried. Pretty much every other role I've seen/heard him in with the exception of The Question, he's been pretty much a creeper, or a dick. I can't hear anything heroic in his voice. With Prime, I honestly kept seeing Weyoun or Shran or The Scarecrow sarcastically talking heroic.

    To each his/her own. You're talking to the guy who has Owen Wilson as Tailgate currently.

    Here's another one: Steve Buscemi as Misfire.
    Just imagine Misfire's "Munchies" line being spoken by him, I think it fits pretty damn well.

    That's pretty good. I went with a fairly mundane Ryan Reynolds for Misfire. It might be changing now.

    You're welcome! If you like those, I got my list a couple pages back. Note: Most guys not mentioned have their G1 Cartoon voice (I imagine Ultra Magnus sounding different than Minimus Ambus, in this case, like Robert Stack), Ratchet might be the exception.

    DON'T YOU KNOW HOW MUCH I'VE SACRIFICED?

    This is brilliant casting. I am now using this.

    Thank you. I appreciate that. But not as much as I appreciate this:

    This line, coming out of Jhiaxus' mouth (Probably in reference to Monstructor or his vacation in the Dead Universe or something along those lines) with Willem Dafoe's voice would be the definition of perfection.
