Indeed he does. I scence a disturbance in the force, theres an edit coming. Or at least there should be. Any way back on topic, I think Burton is one of the best VAs of all time. He has almost as many voices as Welker.

I am very happy with his performances with the animated series, especially Megatron.

An excelent voice actor. I'd love to see him performing a character in the live action movie.

He was the voice of Spike too, right? I also see his name on The Boondocks. Anyone know whose voice he does on that show?

I don't know what irks me more: the calling on of a mistake or the pun that followed it. :wink:

Nothing at all against Frank Welker because he's a great Megatron...But I really love Burton's Megs voice in Animated...And of course his Shockwave in both is excellent...
