I was

I've never been told I had an accent, and it's funny to hear those comments for the first time. I knew I did, but actually hearing someone say it is funny.

I've actually heard Va'als voice so I know what he sounds like. I imagine Cary sounding like one of those guys form NCIS New Orleans, Burn sounding a bit like Steve Irwin (RIP buddy), and Cobotron having something close to a cowboys voice :lol:

those are the 3 that come to mind the most thinking of accents

D. You're from eastern Penn., right? One of my new buddies here in Omaha is from Pittsburgh, but spent early childhood in West Virginia. He has almost the same accent you have. Don't worry, your accent is subtle, but it's there. Of course my buddy is a high tenor compared to your sweet baritone. It's a bass player thing.

We all have little accents. Wait till you hear Cary's smooth drawl. I range from a sober non-accent to ruff 'n rowdy Midwestern drunken twang. Which is really rare, except according to Burn who thinks I'm plastered all the time. :lol:

Cram doesn't really have much of an accent. Burn sounds like a pirate. And Will sounds like snooty french poodle. Oh, and Va'al sounds like an Italian kidnapped by the British Navy. :-P

Would love to here Kurona's. Scottish accents are my favorite!

Diversity is the spice of life!

Anyway, those Pretenders are teh dope! Oozing with awesome G1 goodness. Totes jeliouso on those toys.
I so wanna cram a Microman in those shell-cars.

TOTALLY! Legends dudes driving those cars! DO IT!
If I could find you a cheap Microman, I would send you one.

The only thing Burn ever sent me was grief. [-(

[size=50]Wait. Not true. We did a sweet trade.[/size]

An edit to my earlier post:

Will sounds like a snooty french poodle crossed with a Canadian goose.

:lol:

[size=50]I hope he reads this.[/size]

The voice was not what I expected, but I tend to read most posts in a generic midtone. The accent is
distinct compared to some around here, I don't think I have one but what do I know. If you want to hear Cobo the Western cowboy or Will the French Canadian Poodlegoose look no further than Twincast 2016 year in review.

Burn is also there but he's also in most of the ToyFair podcast.

I'm not a fan of the modern pretenders idea but it might be able to work.

As soon as I saw you were getting into Pretenders I knew I had to get him to you.

It's Skullgrin.

Everyone loves Skullgrin. He probably has the best Pretender shell of them all. (Though all the "monster" 'Con Pretender shells are pretty cool)

Just popping in real quick to add my two cents to the accent pile. I guess I have an American accent, but it isn't very pronounced. However, when I'm reading I tend to slip into a British accent for some reason.
