Corey Burton

@Shiny Raticate Lee was very impressed by burton`s voice match that he wondered why people would call him for voice over considering he does an excellent voice match.

@GreenGoblin75 Unless, of course, you have an alternate opinion ;)

@CatsTuxedo
(IMO).

@CatsTuxedo
That was a joke on the character's catchphrase, wasn't trying to pass my opinion off as fact. Sorry for the confusion.

@huzaifa_ahmed
Sheer Genius.

@Jacob M. Keene And now that I think about it listening to his natural voice, he sounds kinda like Peter Thomas IMO!

@Autovolt Chip? You mean Dale. :P

It really is a shame that's it been at least six years since his last role and performance in the Transformers franchise, last voicing Shockwave in the WFC Gamestop commercial. I can understand him not reprising Shockwave in DOTM since he was sa red herring in that movie or in Prime since that version of Shockwave is much more emotionally detached and far more bulkier in design (David Sobolov) fit that version perfectly, but I don't know why they didn't get him back for any of the Cybertron games or Transformers: Devastation. Granted in Devastation, Shockwave's roles was rather minor, but in an age where we're getting more G1 VA's coming back to their iconic roles, I just find it strange that Corey hasn't come returned in a while especially since he was one of the first to come back for a new series (TFA). I'm not saying he needs to voice Shockwave over and over, I'm sure if he was in the RID cartoon, he'd probably would end up doing what Gregg Berger did and be cast as a new character for the show, and that would be great. I don't know if he's rather hesitant on coming back to the franchise after feeling disappointed his performance in the Gamestop commercial or how Shockwave was depicted in DOTM. Maybe I am overthinking this, I mean Corey is obviously a very busy man and VA, but still it would be nice to hear him in Transformers again in the near future. I also hope someday he does a Transformers convention, I mean Frank Welker is now doing them. Corey would be the next holy grail.

I like to imagine if the Devastation game got a sequel and Shockwave's role was bigger, he'd reprise him, maybe also reprise Sunstreaker, Alpha Trion and maybe even take over as G1 Ratchet, doing a Don Messick inspired performance which I'm sure he'd be able to pull off well.

Anyways Happy Birthday Corey Burton!

Still one of the best in the business.

@TheVengeanceKnight "Corey Burton isn't performing a role in this scene" (Ding!)

I think that's more appropriate.

@DreamMaster08X Save that for Dee Bradley Baker. ;-)

@VoiceCritic So his Captain Hook and his Braniac sound the same? His Megatron, Ratchet, and Soundwave all sound the same? I don't know what you have against him, but all you have to do is go through his available clips to realize how absurd your first statement is (and he's done many more characters that don't even have clips yet).

What possessed you to write this?

@PsychicVoiceSpy *Shockwave

@Nightmare Crusher Thanks bro.

@PsychicVoiceSpy My love for Christopher Lee, and my talent for criticizing voice actors who get too much god damn play on the air.

@VoiceCritic Implying Corey Burton gets "too much" exposure?

But you *are* right, VoiceCritic. Acting like an old, British guy does not a good Christopher Lee impression make...so it's a good thing that Burton's Christopher Lee impressions are nothing like what you described.

@TylerMirage Even if I didn't agree with this comment, I'd still give you a free shout-out just for that awesome Face/Off gif.

@VoiceCritic I'd hardly consider that a "talent".

@Mr.Fennoy93 I don't know, but personally, I'd like to see him voice some Marvel characters like Dr. Strange, Odin, and Magneto.
