Transformers: Autocracy #8 preview

[sherkahn]

I must confess, that after Beast Wars I have not kept up with the different versions of the Transformers, being turned off by some of the later versions of the rich mythology.

With that said, Transformers: Autocracy has grown on me. ComicBookResources
has the preview of issue #8, and this one scene just makes me feel the spirit and power of old.
(Translation: I can hear the 80's character voices saying the words as I read)





Yes, I hear Peter Cullen as I read that frame, and I get the fan-gasm.

By 80s voices, you mean how they talked in 80s, or how the original voice actors talk in "Prime" (BLASPHEMY FOR NOT HAVING FRANK VOICE MEGATRON IN THY BAY-FORMERS!)

[sherkahn]

We all wish Frank could do the voice, but he has passed on beyond the clearing, so say ya.

Frank Welker does the voice of Megatron in Transformers Prime on the Hub. Sounds darn good, too. Different from the old voice, lower and a little gravelly, but still good.

I prefer his Prime take to the G1...there's an annoying screechiness to it in G1, that doesn't suit Megatron near so well as it does Starscream.

[curlyjo1]

There's a darker, more dramatic tone to it.

I just miss Chris Latta as Starscream.

[kamino_neko]

Latta was a fine actor, but I think Steve Blum does a great job, too - my default voice for Screamer in my mind is a blend of Latta and Blum - about as high as Latta's but with Blum's delivery.

(Tom Kenny also did a great job in Animated, but since he wasn't paired with Cullen and Welker, he's kind of beside the point.)
