Transformers and More @ The Seibertron Store



Bouncy X wrote:cool article but it seems to imply they altered his voice because he was sick. when the fact is i'm pretty sure it would have been altered even if he was in good health. they wanted Unicron to have a cool deep voice so it would have been altered no matter his health or even who they woulda hired.
i'm nitpicky about these things yeah....lol but other than that its a cool article. so it made 6 million? that explains why it disappeared from theaters within a week here..lol its interesting though cuz when i first saw this movie i didnt like it at all...it didnt help that the while 90% of the autobots got wiped out the only decepticon to truly die was my favorite character, Starscream. but yeah so i didnt like it but then a year later it played on a saturday morning and i recorded it and loved it....i guess being 10yrs old made me more appreciative than when i was 9...lol and i still have that vhs tape, i didnt have enough room and ended up having to switch tapes so the last 30mins are on a second tape. and so i was missing about 10seconds worth of the sequence where Hot Rod and Kup are in jail. and to further push this into nostalgia, i'd watch the movie a lot over the years before finally finding it in stores and the commercials were all for my little pony and potato head kids and GI joe and of course transformers. ah yes, memories....lol

His voice overs could make anything more legit just by themselves... watch the Nostradamus flick, The Man Who Saw Tomorrow, and you'll see what I mean.
And if any fellow Seibertronians are looking for a good flick to check out, they mention two great ones in this article, besides Citizen Kane. Touch of Evil is great, even though the make-up to make Charlton Heston is a little distracting. But The Third Man is perhaps one of the greatest film noirs ever made. The most amazing part is, with the tremendous cast, Welles STILL manages to steal it with his performance, including one some of the best lines in film history.
(Sorry to kind of go off, but it's rare I have a chance to prattle on about film noir and Orson Welles movies, which this article gives me a chance to do.)

I remember seeing "The Man Who Saw Tomorrow" when I was younger, very, very entertaining stuff.
But yeah, Welles=Genius. No doubt about it.

There's a part of that I remember to this day: Talk about a prediction Nostradamus made about a giant quake in California, and man becoming man-eater, complete with creepy artwork. That, and Welles talking about the third World War, I had nightmares about that. Probably didn't help I saw it when I was REAL little, but still... =p

The article didn't say he hated it....just that he thought of it as a job. & IIRC on the DVD, they said he thought it was kinda funny that the big fat guy was playing an entire planet.Liege Evilmus wrote:I hate that he hated being in that movie. Still its pretty messed up that he die before he could have seen it, I wonder if it would have changed his mind?
These are things that ad to the legacy of Transformers, a legacy that Hasbro seems to want to kill with each new series.

Hey, same here. Say what you want, but Nostradamus wasn't far off in his predictions.

Anyway, I don't think too many of the VA's in the cartoon or movie thought of it as anything but a job. Hell, every time Peter Cullen's asked about what he thought when he found out Prime was going to die, he says he turned to Welker & said, " Hey, Frank, they're killing me!! There goes my car payments!!!" The thing is there weren't too many people that knew how popular the series was...lack of internet & such...they never got any feedback. Now they get tons of it, & a lot of the original VA's are humbled by how much their parts meant to people. My guess is if he were still around today, he would be in a similar boat to some of the other VA's that were humbled at how many people fondly remembered their part in something they thought of as just a job.

The man was an artist. A genius. From a cineastic standpoint, the 1986 animated movie is pretty poor. He would've been embarassed by it.

Nay nay, not just from a cinematic standpoint. No. It's pretty poor all around.
