Quotes:
(On Beast Wars Megatron's Rubber Duckie)
"It's such a wonderful visual isn't it. Megs in a tub squeezing his rubber ducky !! That's his escape. Locking the doors filling the tub...lotsa bubbles ....and his little friend."
(in Optimus Prime's voice)
"That's it, Megatron. I've had it! Bumblebee... SpongeBob... transform and roll out!"
(When requested upon doing an small bit of improv on what if Megatron, Sesshomaru and Treize were roomies in an apartment)
Megatron: All right, who has been putting dirty socks in the kitchen sink?
Sesshomaru: It was Jaken's fault!
Megatron: And where the hell is my rubber ducky?
Sesshomaru: Trieze, what are you doing in the bedroom?
Trieze: I'm spending time with Lady Une...
Megatron: Oh, "spending time with Lady Une" huh? *sigh*
(in Megatron's voice)
"Oh, rubber ducky, you're the one..."
(On Megatron and Frank Welker)
"All in all, I just tried to have fun with him and lets not forget, Frank Welker's a bit of a legend. Me...I've a lot of years to go."

That's so weird; I've been mulling over who's going to be in Playstation All-Stars Battle Royale for a while now, and to my surprise, Clank was in the roster! XD Happy Birthday David! :-)
P.S. He BETTER reprise the role there, or I'll seriously blow mushroom cloud!

Before I ever paid attention to the voices behind the characters, David Kaye has played several characters I loved (Megatron, Sesshomaru, Treize). I hope he never stops doing what he's doing.

@Music Meister It was changed because the other admins thought it was more professional and publicity-like.

@OptimusSolo Go somwhere and start hating. Don't come on to his page just to bash him no matter how little it is.

@OptimusSolo I'm open to debate this but first go to the Megatron VC for my defense.
