Maybe I'm just crazy and hear voices in my head, but whenever I'm reading a comic I like to imagine the voice actors giving the lines that they do in the comics. As an example: I was reading the Megatron Origin comic and I gave everyone the voice they had in the G1 cartoon of course, but when it came to characters like Senator Decimus and Senator Ratbat, well I gave Decimus Gary Chalk's voice, and I gave Ratbat David Kay's voice. Sentinel Prime has Richard Newman (BW Rhinox)'s voice, and Clench has Bernard Erhard (Cy-Kill)'s voice, which is funny because Cy-Kill actually appears in the comic.

So, I hope I'm not the only comic book schizophrenic out there. Tell me what voices you hear when you read Transformer comics!

You and me both, man!

I've been reading the old Marvel G1 comics, and basically i try to picture everyone speaking with their G1 voices. However, there are cases where the G1 voices simply don't fit, either because A) The character's personality is way too different from the cartoon that the voice feels out of place, or B) the character didn't appear in the cartoon. Here are some of these examples:

Straxus - I picture him being voiced by Kevin Michael Richardson

Blaster - His jiving cartoon voice doesn't fit his brooding demeanor, so I hear him as Steve Blum

Scorponok - While Zarak keeps his cartoon voice, Scorponok I felt needed a more powerful-sounding voice, and none sound more fitting than Clancy Brown

Fortress Maximus - his wimpy cartoon voice does not do him justice, so I hear him speaking as Jamieson Price

Ratbat - he never spoke words in the toon, so I hear him as Charlie Adler

Death's Head - I found the late Tony Jay's voice to be fitting for him

Flame - he's crazy, he's red, and he sounds like Scott Cleverdon (90's Cletus Kasady/Carnage) to me.

I'm sure there's more, but that's all I got for now.

I generally hear the G1 voices in my head for the Generation One comics in all it's incarnations (Marvel, Dreamwave, IDW). Probably not the most shocking revelation.

Yep, I do. It livens up the story a bit.
The guys that never where on TV remain oddly silent, though.
