@TheVengeanceKnight The same could be said of all the other Transformers series, actually.

@TheVengeanceKnight From what little I know of the franchise, characters would regularly be introduced to promote their corresponding toy and then be killed off when they're not needed anymore and/or a new toy comes along to take their place. That sort of thing happens when a toy company is calling the shots. Why else do you think Optimus keeps kicking the bucket?

@TheVengeanceKnight With that being said, the later series did get better at downplaying the fact that they exist to sell toys.

@NCZ Yeah, that's what I was kinda alluding to when I commented at the number of toys--I mean characters this show had. :-P

@CatsTuxedo Characters weren't killed off regularly in the show. They just made the movie into one huge massacre.

@TheVengeanceKnight Guys, I was just making a joke. No need to start a war over it.

Nobody was starting a war over anything. We weren't even referring to your comment. That's a whole different issue lol

What are you talking about with updating this page? This page is one of the most complete pages on the site - the only thing we haven't added to this page is sound clips for every character...there are over 250 characters here and we will add sound clips eventually lol

@OptimusSolo
Howdy...I think I can assist with the sound clips...Is there any parameters you'd like to stay within as far as content goes? I've noticed you've put some pretty iconic quotes up there for some of the big guns. Grimlock - "Me Bash Brains!" etc..

@Darthpacino The more iconic the better! Must be in MP3 format and must be somewhere between 15 and 55 seconds. :) Send me a PM in the forums if you gather stuff or have questions!

In Grimlock's New Brain Nosecone says " Are you my father" to his creator. The others including Computron are in there. You could update this page.

Show is now up to 345 characters and just got finished making sure every character has a new high quality screen cap off of the Matrix of Leadership DVD set...Enjoy! (I still have to re-order a few of the recurring roles sorry)

Just got done adding over a dozen voice actors to this cast. Unless I missed one, every character on here should be credited to their american Voice Artist. (With the lone exception of Swerve who had no lines in the show). Next I will work on adding the characters that are missing!
ReplyOptimusSolo (Admin) said at 12:20 PM on Fri Jan 8 2010
The cast has now been arranged according to how many lines each character had throughout the series. (This was done after the sub-groups were formed based on another criteria and human lines have not been counted yet and there are a couple dozen characters that still need to be added)
ReplyOptimusSolo (Admin) said at 11:08 AM on Mon Nov 23 2009
Just letting everyone know, this page will be getting a complete overhaul in the very near future with almost all new pictures and sound clips for every character that has lines!!

The original series doesn't lead into any other series except Beast Wars.... and Beast Machines (depending on your preference, I ignore that one). The Japanese continuity becomes it's own thing as well after the third season of G1, ignoring Rebirth and going on into Headmasters.

They actually already brought out the complete series - I got it over a month ago and it ROCKS!
