Storm:
great guy. loved the chekhov foghorn leghorn joke.
Bahamut Prime:
Very awesome interview! Go Mr. Chalk!
Optimus Scourge:
Nice!
REDLINE:
The only thing missing from this nice thorough interview is sound. Fun read. Glad he took time out to do this for us.
G1Wheeljack:
This interview is just Prime.
SPLIT LIP:
Great interview. I loved his Primal, and still think of him as the best Optimus voice (and Optimus character) thus far.
Aaron:
It was great getting to interview Mr. Chalk. Though I've tried to salvage the sound a time or two. Perhaps after BotCon I'll give it another go...
Ktulu:
aksmth you are a fine contributor indeed, great job with this! Chalk is a very cool guy
Railguard:

Gary: ... One of them, Matt Hill, he’s going to be running around North America. He’s one of our cartoon guys. He’s doing Run for One Planet. Him and his girlfriend are going to run a marathon a day, running all across the United State and Canada.
Holy frijoles!

EDIT: Matt Hill played Carlos and Energon Ironhide. Those voices sucked.
SeishinKibou:
That was a really great read~! =D His injury sounds worse every time I hear about it =( I hope for a fast recovery for him!
Optimus62:
Great interview.
Smasher:
That was a great read.
Garry is brutally honest -a trait I admire.

Garry: Well, a part of me was just wow, this being a Messiah was pretty cool. But the other part of me went, wait a minute, this is an action show. I’m the head of an action team, and now all I do is sit on my butt and contemplate my navel, and listen to all my team members complain all the time. So I guess that was Season 3. I just really was not happy with it. It just became “The Seeds of the Future lie buried in the Past.” “Wait Rattrap.” Instead of “Shut up Rattrap,” it was, “No, choose a wiser path.” I just went aw man come on.
So, he seems to have the exact same opinion of Optimus Primal in Beast Machines as I do.

I didn't realize that. Normally I stop short of saying someone's work sucked, but Carlos had the most annoying "hey I'm Hispanic" voice I have ever heard. It was so forced and unnatural sounding compared with the character's trite dialog that it was painful to hear.

They also have an interview with Scott Mcneil further down. (He did the voice of Dinobot, Rat Trap, Waspinator, Silverbolt and many others for those of you who don't know.)

It is so great to hear these guys when they are in and out of character. They are very cool people.
Space Cowboy:
I spoke with Garry on Monday. He says he's now out of his cast and walking around, even able to do some driving now. Again, he thanks everyone for all of their well-wishes.

So, the boss-monkey is now back in the saddle! In fact, he went to Mobile, AL yesterday to do some filming.
