Moments ago a fan chat session ended with David Kaye (presently starring in Transformers Energon as Megatron) conducted by AnimationHQ. Unfortunatly the chat was hindered a bit by lagging problems in the chat, so only a limited number of questions were able to be answered, but the chat was succesful none the less. To read the trans script of the chat go over here over @ The Energon Pub.
