Wait, no Tessho Genda? I guess it's cool that Tekkaman Blade's doing Optimus, but why not? :???:
I do like that they picked the original Ganondorf VA to do Bulkhead though, he's basically guaranteed to not be as wimpy sounding as he was in Animated. :-?

Looking for:
Actionmaster Prime's Armored Convoy, just the cab and trailer with it's smokestacks, add in anything else if you want <=D.
ROTF Skystalker's right wing piece (Left axe)and Star Convoy(Encore).

Motto: "I am an intellectual... not a jock."
Weapon: Saber Blade
Optimus Prime - Toshiyuki Morikawa: Beast Wars Metals Jaguar (Ravage)

Megatron - Keiji Fujiwara: Beast Wars Dinobot, Micron Densetsu Devastor (Armada Scavenger), Animated Grimlock

Ratchet - Tatsuo Tobita: No TF roles

Bulkhead - Takashi Nagasako: Isaac Sumdac, Animated Snarl, Animated Brawn

Arcee - Shizuka Itō: No TF roles

Starscream - Satoshi Tsuruoka: Beast Wars Neo Strada

Cliffjumper - Noriaki Sugiyama: No TF roles

Jack Darby - Jun Fukuyama: No TF roles

Raf Esquivel - Motoko Kumai: No TF roles

Miko Nakadai- Nozomi Furuki: No TF roles

William Fowler - Kenji Nomura: No TF roles

June Darby - Hitomi Nabatame: No TF roles


So, we got some who have experience with the Transformers, and some who have been part of mostly non-TF anime.

But, yeah, it's too bad there's no Tesshō Genda for Optimus (they even got him for Omega Supreme and G1 Convoy in the Japanese dub of Animated. Yes, that's right, G1 Convoy/Optimus Prime made an appearance in the Japanese dub of Animated :shock: ).

Or even Seizō Katō for Megatron. Correct me if I'm wrong, but he isn't really doing much voice work these days, right?

This is Sabrblade we're talking about. His ability to store trivial information about TV shows is downright superhuman.

Yeah he hasn't done much as of late, certainly not as much as he used to do, weirdly enough his only time "reprising" the Megatron role was when he did Mesutron from that awesome Panty and Stocking parody. :P

On the subject of Tessho Genda though, he did voice Primus in Super Link and Galaxy Force, so if Primus ever shows up in Prime Genda might be a likely candidate to voice him. ;)

I sure hope so! The fact that he voiced Primus in both shows make me want him to be the official and definitive Japanese voice of Primus in all his animated appearances. :-B

Audio only. His was a voiceover appearance at the beginning of the Japanese dub of "TransWarped, Part 1" in which he had a brief conversation with Animated Optimus Prime.

Though, I can't locate the exact video, but I did find one close to it. It's a preview for the episode I'm referring to, with Tesshō Genda and Hiroki Takahashi as G1 and Animated Optimus Prime, respectively, promoting the episode together.

The deeper voice with the red text is G1 Optimus Prime, and the younger voice with the blue text is Animated Optimus Prime.

WHY?!!!! Why another rap theme song?!!!

It barely worked for Beast Wars (though, most would say that it *didn't* work at all), so why would they ever try it again with this?!!! :BANG_HEAD: :BANG_HEAD: :BANG_HEAD:

Transformers and rap do NOT mix! In ANY form. >:oP
