The Energon Pub

After a five-year(!) unofficial hiatus, TFCog has finally finished the 11th episode of the Beast Wars Neo Fan Dub Project, "Planet of Time." Every time we release an episode, we always promise that the next one won't be as far away... but seriously, the next one won't be that far away! We are excited to get into "Hydra Alone" very soon, once we get some voice actor issues settled.



As the Maximals approach the forbidden planet of Chronos in search of an Energios capsule, Countdown (who has the power to control time) is experiencing some problems. Despite this, Break and Longrack insist on investigating, so they go down to the planet. Once there, they're quickly able to find the capsule, but a wrong step causes the capsule to activate, triggering the planet's special power.

You can also check out [strong]over 50 fan dubs[/strong] (not all at once, please) as well as tons of Transformers-related music and sound effects while you're there. There will also be a casting call for some new parts in multiple series (including Neo) shortly.

Wasn't there some sort of contest years ago where you get picked to voice out a character?

We do casting calls/auditions when characters come up, but I wouldn't consider them contests.

I could've sworn there was one. Maybe it was for Beast Wars II. I don't know. It won't sound bad like this, will it? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J8QYS2WOipM

We produced that in 2006. We've gotten better since then, but I recall it being a good episode for the time.

I am not going to be picky about quality; I am just thankful you guys are doing this at all. I have never scene either of the Japanese only Beast-toons.

Thank you!

It's a fandub. We don't pretend that it's anything else or claim that we can do it any better than professionals (well, perhaps some). We just enjoy having a creative outlet and giving fans the chance to watch these episodes in English.

We've been doing this nearly 10 years, so I think we have the production craft down pretty well. As voice actors - well, we'll never be anything other than amateurs (for the most part), but I hope you enjoy our work nonetheless. And if you don't, you don't have to watch it, haha.

We also have a casting call underway. You can audition for five of our characters that we've had to replace.
