Exciting voice actor news this evening. Veteran voice actor Michael Bell returns to the Transformers franchise this Saturday! In case you’re not familiar, Mr. Bell is known in the world of Transformers as Generation 1 Prowl, Sideswipe, Swoop, Scrapper and many others! Not to mention, Duke from G.I.Joe. According to his Facebook page, he is poised to return to the franchise in this Saturdays episode of Rescue Bots:
To all my buds..tune in to THE RESCUE BOTS episode “Turning The Tide” which airs this Saturday, April 11 at 10:30am Pacific time on Discovery Family. It’s a super show and has lots of your favorite vo actors voicing some wonderful characters. Ya got kids, or know kids, cue them in to watch. I am.P.S. Yours truly is on this episode. I had a blast doing.
The safe bet is he will be voicing new recruit, High Tide! But, tune into Rescue Bots this Saturday to be sure!

I know, in fact I had this posted in another thread, but I guess they felt it needed it's own thread? We just didn't know who Bell was playing for sure.

He was already confirmed to voice on Rescue Bots last year, it was revealed at the season 3 wrap up party DC Douglas uploaded a video of. Bell was their..granted that was kind of a hush hush kind of thing.
He has. He auditioned for TFA as Prowl and Swoop and in Prime as Ratchet and Fowler.
He finally got what he wanted.
I hope so too.

Such incredible news.
I love Michael Bell and loved his roles (Lance, Duke, Chaz Finster, Grouchy Smurf). Hopefully this will lead to him getting more prominent roles in TF or elsewhere.

Real talk, i would be willing to pay 3P money for an articulated, transforming version of Hightide. I'd still be fine with it being a simple transformation (relative to other 3P), but if they made it Supreme class sized, I'd definitely be down to buy that.
Do you consider Beast Wars not transformers?

Thats so awesome. I can see watching just to hear Duke's voice.

Aw, that's sweet. He's been trying to get back into Transformers for a decade now, hasn't he?

Like it or not this show has bi@#$ slaped almost all the others as the longest running show for transformers so yes its very real.
I was going to do a heatwave joke and how he got burnt then I relised how lame it was lol and im not into trolling

Cool but still not a real Transformers show because it doesn't have Decepticons.

An "old friend of Optimus" – I see what they did there.
