I'm sorry, but how do you know career journalists aren't careful about getting facts right? Not trying to start anything either, but I don't like broad brush statements.

I am just doing my job. Ryan trusts me with running the site and I just want to make sure things are on the "up and up"..

We need to be the best TF board around.. That is my ultimate mission.

... because I read the papers, magazines, and watch the news?

I have no clue who this guy is. Why couldnt they just let Cullen do it? It official, Ironhide is now trailbreaker.

Fixed guys. For some reason I was reading into it and had to re read the post very slowly. Thanks for pointing it out CB. At least we will be the one site that has reported it correctly now.

So do I, and I've written for newspapers. That doesn't mean they aren't trying just as hard to get the facts right.

On topic: I really need to put The Prestige in to hear this guy's voice.

Who? isn't this guy british

You never know, he might take a cue from how Cullen used to do him.

Re: "I Love 1984". For those not in the know, it was a nostalgia show looking back at the highs and lows of the year, with various people reminiscing about stuff, and yeah, Transformers was in it (in fact, on the TF Movie DVD with the Headmasters ep on it, the disc opens with the Transformers segment of the show - Simon Furman and Paul Cannon of Transforce, among others, share their thoughts).
I don't remember Mark Ryan being on it, but then since I'd never heard of him before seeing the Transformers IMDB entry, that probably shouldn't come as a surprise.

So we know 3 voice actors for the game and 3 for the movie. I hope we learn who the others are soon.

Then I guess some of them just happen to be inept at it. The reporters who write AP articles on biological and zoological matters come immediately to mind. And, for the record, which do you believe constitutes a 'broad' statement?

a)Honestly, I wish more career journalists and reporters were as careful about getting the facts right.

(Note the qualifiers italicized.)

-or-

b)All career journalists and reporters try their best to get the facts right.

CLICK HERE! To hear what Mark Ryan sounds like. It has various clips from the shows that he has been in.

Here is another clip of Ryan:

I think it would be great to see him do the voice in the movie as well. I hope he gets the role of Ironhide in the movie and not just the game.

Who said the last one?

I didn't want to start some argument. I found the statement to be assumptive. Sorry.

Oh well, hope he pulls it off

Looking at the people listed on the front page of IMDb's cast list, there are apparently four, and they are Mark Ryan (Ironhide), Glenn Morshower (a colonel), Chris Ellis (minor character, who really cares?), and Mark Anthony Vazquez (minor character, who really cares?).

I fail to see what this means exactly.

Not to mention Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman, were both writers for the new Transformers movie and Alias.

Might as well call this movie "Alias but with big robots"

I guess they just like the random bit players they've had on their show that only appeared in a combined eight episodes.

Plus he's not shy about doing conventions (future BotCon guest?), I still have a program from a British Sci-Fi convention I went to back in '91 where he was a guest.

Too bad, really, Cullen's Ironhide is great. I love the rough sound hes got.

Nice. He's got the grittiness for it for sure.

remember the English maid Daphne on fraiser, thats her loudmouth brother, good choice.

Yeah, who is this guy?

And the idea of creating a language is very cool! I do alot of Sci-Fi and horror type writing(hoping to get published one day) and I find it a challange to come up with dialect and lingos that do not incorporate and of the sayings, puns, and refrences that we take for granted.

It's not that easy.

Daphne's brother Simon on the show was played by Anthony LaPaglia. Mark Ryan was only one one episode of Frasier.

cool this guys a swords man

LoL, good to see a fellow Yorkshireman (albeit from Doncaster) in the movie!!

Not to mention was in the Wide Awake Club, which launcehd no lesser peronalties than Mike Myers and Timmy Mallett into the collective conciousness:) Plus he was on I love 1984, I wonder if he was talking about transformers?
