The Energon Pub

As some might know, Next weekend, is the Calgary Comic and Entertainment expo! April 24-25. There will be BIG Transformers names there such as:

Leonard Nimoy (G1 Movie Galvatron)
Tony Todd (ROTF - The Fallen)
Alex Milne (TF artist)
Scott McNeil (Beast Wars - Rattrap)
Garry Chalk (BW, BM, Armada,Energon,Cybertron - Optimus Prime/Primal)
Neil Kaplan (RID - Optimus Prime)

I will try for interview with each one for this site, BUT I want 5-10 questions for YOU!!

Get started....GO!

Leonard Nimoy (G1 Movie Galvatron)
- What inspired you to accept the role of Galvatron when you were astronomically known for playing Spock in the Star Trek?
- Was this your first voice acting job? Was voicing Galvatron alot easier or more enjoyable than your role as Spock?
- Whos is better: Star Trek fans, Transfomrer fans, or Star Trek fans who are also Transformer fans?
- When will Leonord Nimoy retire from film making? (I hope never. lol)

Tony Todd (ROTF - The Fallen)
- In interviews with Michael Bay, hes stated that it was a challenge for the voice actors to imagine the robots they were voicing and add emotion to them. Did you have a difficult voicing The Fallen?
- What was your inspiration for the voice of The Fallen?
- Would you ever consider or are currently considering doing the voice work for any future Transformer projects?

Alex Milne (TF artist)
- Artist of what? What comics? Pencil, Ink, Color?
- What is the most difficult part of what you do?
- What elements do you use as inspiration when doing Transformers art?

Scott McNeil (Beast Wars - Rattrap)
- Are you a New Yorker? (I might be wrong and that could be a Chicago accent and if so, replace New York with Chicago in these questions)
- Whos decision was it to make a Rattrap a New Yorker?
- You're voice acting was phenomenal, what did you use as inspiration to voice Rattrap?
- Would you ever consider or are currently considering doing the voice work for any future Transformer projects?
- Do you think we will ever see another Scott McNeil Rattrap again?

Garry Chalk (BW, BM, Armada,Energon,Cybertron - Optimus Prime/Primal)
- How was fan response to you doing Optimus Prime when you first started out as opposed to your fan reception now?
- What inspirations did you draw upon in order to voice Optimus Prime?
- Out of the 5 series that you voiced, which one was your favorite in terms of voice acting for and which one was your favorite in terms of end result?
- Have you ever had a dialogue with Peter Cullen in regards to your voice acting Optimus Prime?
- Any plans for voicing the big "OP" in the future? or any other Transfomers-related project?

Neil Kaplan (RID - Optimus Prime)
- I ain't got nothin.


Hopefully this helps. You can google the actor's name and see who interviewed them and what was asked. I guess the big thing is to try and not ask the same questions without asking dumb questions. lol

So far that helps. Anyone else?

Just wondering Grifter. Have you applied for a proper press badge for the expo? or are you planning to just ask them at panels/autograph sessions.

um...no.
