Just prayed for him, man, that sucks. Dino was awesome, but there's more reasons to be sad. he should not have died so young, and for that, I am truly sorry.
Also, I'm on the fence about dino. I don't think they'll replace him, and as tribute to this man, I'm not sure they should.... Wonderful voice acting! Probably a really cool guy in person too. wish I could have met him. Well, I guess, at the end of the day, All you can do is try to move on, I mean, it's a sad loss, but he's in a better place now, and we shouldn't dwell on it. Let's just say he's happy now, and while he was around, He provided us fans with the only bayformer that no-one has a problem with! That's a win win right? Good luck were your going! and thanks for the memories!

Once again, a shining star in the Transformers universe has dimmed out of existence. His family are in our thoughts and prayers.

It always saddens me when someone so young and in the prime of life passes away.
Therefore i can not believe in a greater force other than nature controlling our fates. It just doesn't make sense to me.
R.I.P. Francesco Quinn
May you be remembered always.

R.I.P. Francesco Quinn you're voice casting in DOTM was amazing. For a tribute Bay should add in some deleted footage of Dino slicing and dicing some decepticons.

Awesome idea. Failing that a credit dedication will do at the very least.
I'm imagining the Deluxe Dino will arrive at the beginning of 2012...Maybe when they reveal the figure, a dedication should be present, too.

AWESOME SAUCE!
They can make a special edition, and have a "In memory of" Kind of vibe to it! Same with "The accident" On set. they should and could make a whole bunch of toy sets in memory of past stars....of course, having the whole set would be a bit of a downer... Didn't someone say that that Cyberverse TRU Set with the white Crankcase was Dedicated to the on set accident in some way?
