Thank you kindly. Have the Transformers voice actors ever done regular acting where you actually see them.

Garry chalk was a guest star on stargate sg1 for a couple of seasons. Oyher than that, maybe just one off epsidoes of things but i believe they are mostly voice actors and so stay off screen.

Thank you kindly. I don't have any idea who Gary Chalk did the voice of. I'm sure I could find it out from Google, but I'm more interested in the leaders Peter Cullen and Frank Welker. I saw the two of them in an interview. It sure seems strange how in the sci-fi/fantasy world of the Transformers, they're at each other's throats while in reality, they're perfectly good friends. I found out that Frank Welker has done mostly voice acting, but I couldn't find any roles that weren't voices.

Gary Chalk did the voice of Optimus Primal in beast wars and beast machines, and optimus prime in armada/energon/cybertron. He wasn't in G1.

Welker and Cullen aren't actors. Thhey are voice actors so while not impossible, you'd be hard pressed to find them acting in a non voice only role.

The G1 movie I wouldn't count, as the ybrought in big name actors to do voices who didn't keep their roles in the series. Otherwise, you could say all the new characters in that movie were voiced by people in on screen actor roles.

In that interview I watched that had Frank Welker and Peter Cullen, I found out they were talking about a Transformers video game. I had a co-worker give me a Transformers video game for a Nintendo DS or a Nintendo 3DS, but I gave it back to him because I couldn't figure out how to get very far with it. You might know they wouldn't let you start out with one of the tougher ones like Omega Supreme or Fortress Maximus, and I had to start out as Bumblebee. I wish I would've held onto it because I could've sold or traded it to GameStop and made a profit. What's the easiest Transformers video game on the market for Nintendo 3DS or Nintendo DS? Are there any where I could be Omega Supreme fighting Devastator?

I noticed one person on the forum asking for $600 for a Transformers figure. What's the most expensive one they've got out there? Are there any worth $1,000 or more?

Sure. Especially if we go to 80's figures still in box.

Some of these can reach up to 10000$ in an unopened box.

On recent figure, less likely of course, but some exclusive can still be quite expensive. The 2006 botcon set can go up to 4000$ the rare times it appears on ebay..

That's quite a lot of money for a toy; but according to my mom, the difference between a man and a boy is the price of their toys. Can you imagine if a kid someone sat on Santa's lap around Christmas and asked for a G1 Transformer with a price tag of 10 grand? Unless the kid has rich parents, he'd likely be disappointed on Christmas morning and maybe think his parents are lying about Santa.

Do they still have commercials for Transformers on kid's shows? If so, what show would I have to get set to DVR if I wanted to take a look at one?

I'll try one of those, but I don't know how well my phone will hold up. It's been acting up, and I've been having trouble when I try to watch YouTube videos. I was wondering if I would get to see a commercial if I recorded an episode off of a cartoon like Been 10. Who knows? I have that Scooby Doo movie recorded, and it would only be fair if they had a commercial for Transformers because Frank Welker is one of the voice actors. Have they ever done one for triple changers or female Transformers?

Chris Latta (Starscream, Cobra Commander) was in a Seinfeld episode where he tries to mug Kramer of his horse race betting winnings.

I'm pretty sure Prowl's vocalist was on Three's Company. I don't know details, but the guy sounds exactly like Prowl.

Of course most of the Movie's cast was much more known for regular acting, Leonard Nimoy, Orson Wells, Robert Stack, etc.

I disagree. A few absolutely don't work right any way but work best at 90. Highbrow, for instance. Of course it could vary by individual specimen, so if you have one that works facing front or back, good for you, but it doesn't change the fact that some figures are off enough, either by design or QC that 90 just works more than front/back

Tue May 23, 2017 3:51 pm

I'm familiar with all those ones you mentioned, and Leonard Nimoy's my favorite one because of Star Trek. Optimus Prime said that the Autobots were autonomous robotic organisms. If they did a crossover with Star Trek, are Transformers organic enough that a Vulcan could put a nerve pinch on Megatron? If they released the Genesis weapon from the second and third Star Trek movies onto Unicron, would that be enough to defeat him?

Voice actor for Prowl, Bombshell, Scrapper and Swoop played Grappler Zorn in the pilot episode of Star Trek The Next Generation.

The Transformers have metal skin, so I don't think a nerve pinch would work. It doesn't work on androids in the show.

That's a good question about Unicron. It would give him an habitable skin and atmosphere, but then what if he transformed? It would lose the atmosphere? Would the Genesis effect go deep enough to destroy his spark? I don't think it would.

Tue May 23, 2017 8:09 pm

If the writers wanted the Genesis device to go deep enough to damage Unicron's spark, it could. That's the thing about Star Trek. As powerful as they are, the Decepticons wouldn't be a match for Starfleet technology. They could probably beam a spark out of an unstoppable Decepticon if nothing else.

Oh geez ... I really had to hold that one in, damn being at work. So wanted to laugh out loud at that one.

Starfleet more advanced than Cybertronians. Yeah, okay.

Tue May 23, 2017 8:37 pm

Bumblebee got his butt kicked by Earth technology in the first movie. He may be one of the weaker Transformers, but Star Trek's Starfleet is known to have planet cracking weapons.

Have Pete Cullen and Frank Welker ever been in a cartoon where they're not voicing characters who are enemies of each other?

Tue May 23, 2017 10:00 pm

Unfortunately, there weren't any Transformer commercials; but I thought I heard Peter Cullen's voice in a commercial for Kellogg's.

Wed May 24, 2017 7:16 am

I noticed something about that Scooby Doo movie that Frank Welker was in? How come we didn't see the gang's Mystery Inc. van? Also they never explained how that guy was able to breathe fire. Was he some kind of fire eater with some kind of hidden lighter to ignite flames?

Wed May 24, 2017 11:49 am

I managed to find another Transformer that I'm gonna have to look for a video to figure out how to transform. It's a legends class Transformer that turns into a two-headed creature.

Wed May 24, 2017 12:57 pm

If anyone's doubtful about Starfleet being able to beat attacking Decepticons, what about the characters on Star Wars? Does anyone think that the most powerful Transformer would be able to take on that telekinetic force? I was impressed when that one villain used the force to control a beam from a blaster and make it hit something else. Plus look how that young girl was able to get a storm trooper to let her go. These all happened in The Force Awakens where Han Solo was killed. I would think someone could use the force to make Trypticon shoot himself with his own gun.

I'm having trouble figuring out who that scout class Transformer who turns into a creature with two heads is. He appears to be a quadruped, and I found a Double Cross and a Twinferno, but they're different colors.

Wed May 24, 2017 1:27 pm

I made a mistake, and it's the Legends class Transformer that turns into a two-headed creature that I'm looking for. It's strange that I mentioned Star Wars because there's a Like Skywalker Transformer that turns into an X-wing fighter.

You're unable to transform a legend class without a video ? there's what ? 3 hinges ?

That young girl was Rey, & that Stormtrooper was Daniel Craig
