Total mixed bag. I hear G1 voices for many characters (Optimus, Magnus, Shockwave), TF: Prime voices for others (Ratchet, Megatron, Starscream), and a total mixed bag on other things. Hard to imagine the Gregg Berger style Grimlock when Grimlock speaks in full sentences, so stuff like that is tough to place.
Ginrai Minor wrote: Also what type of soundtrack would you set for any scene/story in the IDWverse?
This varies so much from issue to issue for me, and especially series to series. Stuff like Autocracy/Primacy, when done well, gets some G1 cartoon music going in my head. When done kind of blandly, the background music seems like it'd be more or less like something out of War For Cybertron (or any other generic action game out these days).
Cybertronian scenes evoke a Vince DiCola or sometimes synthpop feel, and sometimes spacecraft scenes hit that vibe as well. A good bit of Windblade hit that ambient/downtempo chill kind of groove.
MTMTE and most of the recent RID books hit the Hiroyuki Suwano style to me. That's the guy that did the OSTs for Kill La Kill, Attack on Titan, and Gundam Unicorn (among a ton of others, but those are the most notable imo). A mix of orchestral, rock, electronic, and other styles (occasional j-pop!) all mushed together into a pretty epic package. If that stuff were ever animated and this dude didn't get the OST duty I'd, well, be sad about it. Or, Suwano and DiCola together could be an audiophile's orgasm to me.
Most of the Furman stuff would probably be presented in front of The Backstreet Boys
