Such a shame. Rampage is the only work of his that I'm familiar with, but he was absolutely AMAZING in that performance.

It's sad he had to go. Beast Wars wasn't that old of a show.

Just heard the news. That sucks! I know him as Rampage and the announcer for those Beyond Belief episodes.

Goodnight
Goodnight; ensured release,
Imperishable peace,
Have these for yours, While sea abides, and land,
And earth’s foundations stand,
and heaven endures.
When earth’s foundations flee,
nor sky nor land nor sea
At all is found
Content you, let them burn:
It is not your concern;
Sleep on, sleep sound.
AE Housman, poet (1859 – 1936)

And finally his spark can reunite with Trans-Mutate's in the Allspark.
RIP Mr. Lane.

Sigh, so the first Beast Wars member to pass from this world. I really hope he had lived a good life before hand.
I will always remember his role as Rampage. If it wasn't for him and his insane voice work, I doubt Rampage would be just as memorable as he is today.
RIP Mr X.

His role as Rampage was amazing and spectacular. May he rest in peace.
This really shocks me, as this is the first Beast Wars voice actor to have died.

To honor his role as Rampage, I treated myself to a marathon of some Beast Wars episodes that featured him in a major speaking role: Bad Spark, Transmutate, Deep Metal, Changing of the Guard, and Nemesis Part 1. Through both the writing and Campbell's voice work, Rampage had some great complexity as a character. Really impressive stuff.

Wow I don't even know what to think about this. He's the first person in the Beast Wars cast to die? Jeeze I feel old. His voice for Rampage was amazing though. I'm popping in some Rampage episodes to watch in his honor.
