    So, I was thinking, with RiD coming soon there is definitely gonna be cameo voices or voices that surprise us. So I thought it would be cool to talk about them and the ones that happened. One for me is Dawyne Johnson as Cliffjumper. For some reason that didn't click for me until a little while ago while looking at the Prime IMDB page. I felt stupid upon realizing I didn't realize it sooner...So, any voice appearances surprise you guys in Prime?

    I was surprised that we got the likes of Clancy Brown, Michael Ironside, Peter Mensah, John Noble, Nolan North, David Sobolov and Will Friedle on the show that we didn't know prior beforehand the show starting.

    One thing Prime did well was its voice acting and casting for the most part.

    I'm amazed RID will have Khary Payton....BOOYAH!

    I'd love for Scott Mcneil to return to Transformers, it's long overdue. Maybe he can voice Steeljaw.

    That's the hard Part. He's located in Vancouver of Canada, whereas he cant do Steeljaw in the U.S.

    Since Scott has voiced a wolfformers like BW Silverbolt and Cybertron Snarl. I think he'd be perfect as Steeljaw but as UltraAlanMagnus has said Scott will never be able to voice in any American Transformers cartoon.

    So that explains it. That's darn shame.

    Aside from having loved Prime overall, I completely agree-- the many pleasant surprises in casting were among the best things about the show. I mean, I NEVER would have imagined even half of the actors you mentioned showing up, and they did, which was pretty awesome.

    And Khary Payton being in RID was equally cool as well. I'm sure there's gonna be more cool reveals down the line. I'm really eager to find out who voices Steeljaw and Thunderhoof the most.

    Daran Norris as Knock Out. Knock Out is the fabulous Decepticon Surgeon and part-time race car we didn't know we needed.
    To think he's voiced by Timmy Turner's dad.... Dinkleberrrrrg!

    Indeed. Knock Out is always a Laugh.

    Plus he's also

    I'm excited too.

    If i had to pick a VA for Steeljaw other than Scott McNeil. I'd probably cast Paul St. Peter in his Cornell voice.

    Behind The Voice Actors - Voice Compare: Castlevania - Cornell

    Thunderhoof...maybe Trevor Devall since he's now working in LA and had voice in MLP previously.
