    Listening to that clip was pure bliss. I've missed Dan as BB so bad. Getting to mmet him at TFCon '09 will always be a convention higlight for me. I hope that if BB does talk in a flashback of TFP they can get him. I can't wait to read the book. I also recommend picking it up with Dan's other book "Drowned in the Grenadine" which is a semi-autobiograpical fiction book about an actor in Hollywood trying to make comeback.

    I know he did Spiderman too, but I'm sure I've heard him on some other 80's stuff as well.

    Did he do War For Cybertron? That sounded like a pretty good G1 voice.

    Why wasn't Dan Gilvezan approached to do Prime or the Movies? He was a Bee actor. :drunk  thank you, I'm here all week.

    Wow. That's a great deal. Will pick it up. Glad to send some dough his way... because he was indeed a kind and gracious actor at Botcon. Really nice guy. Would be great to see him show up again.

    Dan needs to come back. For the past 4 years Bumblebee has been lame. Boop-boop-beep-beep-boop. It is incredibly stupid to play up a gimmick of a "damaged voice mechanism" on a robot capable of scanning any object to create a new alt-mode. If he can alter his entire appearance and transformation at will, he can bloody-well repair his own damn voice box. Bring back Dan!

    Okay, but by that logic how does any transformer ever die? they can just scan a mode that isn't destroyed, they should be able to recover any injury. Not saying you're wrong, just that this is consistently inconsistent.

    Once the silver cord has been severed living beings perish. The damage goes beyond the physical.

    FYI, the audiobook version is currently available on Amazon (via Audible) for only $1.95. And it's read by Dan himself, which couldn't be more perfect! I plan on picking up the paper version too, but you can't beat two bucks for a book read by a voice actor.

    Cool! I'll have to look into getting his book too. I love that actors from our generation's entertainment are starting to do autobiographical works. :thumb

    Audible.....? When you purchase the audiobook is it MP3 and you can copy it onto your computer or do you have to use Amazon to listen to it?
