Walker Edminston, Voice of G1 Inferno, Has Passed Away

Postby Calenatarion » Fri Feb 23, 2007 10:30 am

POVonline reports that the voice of Generation One Inferno, Walker Edminston has passed away on February 15th.

Mr. Edminston did various voices in Spiderman, The Smurfs and the original Stark Trek. He also had his own show: The Walker Edminston Show. But for the Transformers fans he is also known as the voice of Generation One Inferno.

It's so sad to see our fave characters from the golden age of transformers passing away. May he rest in peace. I hope they do him a service and give Inferno a good part in future cartoons, and that they find a decent voice actor for the character.

G1 Inferno was one of my top favorites as a little kid. I'm not just saying that. I still have the toy on my shelf.

Guide your spirit safe & sheltered, Mr. Edminston. Know that you've made so many, in so many places, very, very happy. Amazing how just a voice can do that.

Bless you.

Very sad news. Yet another character that will bring some remorse to mind when I re-watch my G1 eps.

Longs for the days of G1 where we only had to worry about Megatron, Soundwave and Laserbeak wanting to be Autobots, Swoop calling himself Tracks and Slingshot calling himself Slingslot!

Hahaha, you are correcto sir. Saying what I wrote in my head doesn't sound right anymore. Guess I got all caught up in the moment.

R.I.P Walker, I didnt even know he passed away?! But I expect he was in his 80's with such a career like that.

RIP Mr. Edminston.

Another one of the best Voice actors of our time is gone, pretty soon they'll be no decent voice actors left, and we'll be left with the no-talent hacks that voice the lameass Transformers cartoons of the twenty first Century.
