Peter Cullen was also a voice in Pirates of Darkwater, Tale Spin, Chip 'n' Dale Rescue Rangers, The Jetsons, Spiderman, Scooby Doo and Scrappy, The Smurfs, Pac-Man, Dungeons & Dragons, and he was KARR from Knight Rider, among other things.

Heh. Yeah. He's spiffy keen. I just didn't know about Eeyore. I'm pretty good at picking out voices normally.

My favorite was Venger in the D&D cartoon closely followed by KARR.

From the article:

"Alexander Weiner, 25, plays with some of the Transformers in his toy collection at his home in Philadelphia."

Heh. Weiner.

I knew it!

I was saying years ago, there's a renaissance of interest in Transformers, it's only going to get bigger.

Of course, what I wanted to do with that was put out a tabletop, with rules somewhere between Warhammer 40K and Battletech. Of course, that was before MageKnight, so perhaps my original miniatures scheme wouldn't be so good... but still. Hex grids, three action points per turn, all sorts of special abilities from Cosmos' 0 turn cost to Thundercracker's teleportation to Gears' no damage from falling to the rules for merging and special rules for MegaTransformers like Omega Supreme and Metroplex. Dammit, I should have worked on that more.
