The Small World of Voice Acting: Featuring My Childhood
Soooo, for yesterday's episode I noted that Brian Drummond absolutely brings the menace to a character with a name as dumb as Diablos Nacho.
That made me decide to look up the VA credits, which is always fun because voice acting is a small world. Before I get into the individual credits, I want it known that most of these people also worked on My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, Littlest Pet Shop, Barbie, and Ninjago, and most of them have seasoned careers dubbing anime. I don't watch much Anime, but some of these stood out even to me (almost all of them have been on Death Note for example).
Here's some of the cast and their voice roles that made me personally go "NO WAY," but I highly recommend going to their Wikipedia pages and taking a look for yourself!
Eli's VA: Sam Vincent---Also the voice of Lloyd Garmadon from Ninjago and Flim (of the Flim Flam duo) from MLP:FiM, Daffy and Bugs from Baby Loony Tunes and Jerry from the Tom and Jerry Show (which I didn't watch but I did watch the originals). . .And also Will Shane lol.
Trixie's VA: Shannon Chan-Kent---The singing voice of Pinkie Pie from MLP:FiM, Amy Rose in Sonic Prime, and then like a billion side characters in multiple barbie movies, littlest pet shop, and strawberry short cake. She's also been Belle in the Vancouver stage production of Beauty and the Beast.
Kord's VA: Andrew Francis---has had a long career of acting and voice acting, but the only one personally important to me is that he's Shining Armor on MLP:FiM, which is close enough to his Kord voice that I won't be able to unhear it.
Pronto's VA: Lee Tockar---who is also Bibble in the Barbie Fairytopia movies, Snips AND Steven Magnet from MLP, Bling-Bling Boy from Johnny Test (I was upset to be reminded that exists), Inky from Pac-Man and the Ghostly Adventures, and has also been some side characters from Dinosaur Train.
Dr. Blakk's VA: Mark Oliver---Doesn't have a wikipedia page because he mostly does bit parts. Key word being mostly---He's Lord Garmadon from Ninjago. I want you all to think about this for a second. Eli's VA is Lloyd Garmadon. Blakk's VA is Lord Garmadon. I am losing my mind. He's also HIM in Powerpuff Girls Z, and Hue the butterfly from Barbie Fairytopia.
Diablos Nacho's VA: Brian Drummond---Vegeta in the Ocean Group dub of Dragonball Z; Ryuk in the English dub of Death Note; a whole bunch of people on Dinosaur Train; a whole bunch of people on He-Man Masters of the Universe; Clyde from Pac-Man and the Ghostly Adventures; Eddie Brock and Venom in Spiderman Unlimited; Dr. Eggman in Sonic Prime; Knuckles in Sonic Underground; Wolverine in Wolverine: Origin, Wolverine versus Sabretooth, and Wolverine: Weapon X; and in Slugterra itself he's also the voice of Redhook and a ton of one-off characters.
Twist's VA: David Kaye---Very very long list that had less properties I knew of. He's a whole bunch of people on Ben 10 which I didn't watch, and a recurring side voice for Scooby Doo (but nobody significant enough to make me double take). We do have some games I know though! He's Clank from Ratchet and Clank; Comissioner Gordon from Batman: Arkham City; and also Sesshomaru from Inuyasha which I didn't watch but have absorbed some things second-hand about.
Junjie's VA: Vincent Tong---Kai and apparently half the extras from Ninjago; Garble, Flash Sentry, and Sandbar from MLP (as well as a large number of bit parts like Doughnut Joe); and also Zuko in the Avatar video game Avatar The Last Airbender: Quest for Balance.
This all barely scratches the surface! I didn't look up most of the side characters! If any of you have an afternoon and would like your brain exploded, spend some time looking through the acting credits of all the minor characters. I think you'll have fun :)
I've downloaded the Binder of Revelation....
And man, there's a lot that would have been cool to implement in the cartoons had the Aligned writers played in this sandbox. Granted, there are some things I'm glad we got switched around - which I'll get into later - but because it's Christmas and I don't want to bombard people with too much of my usual ranting against TFP, I'm gonna focus on something/someone who got my immediate attention when I was reading the Binder earlier:
Jetfire, who is one of my favorite Autobots who, much like my favorite X-Man Cyclops/Scott Summers, has one of the most complicated histories in TF lore.
So, for a start, anytime I hear or see Jetfire, I always think of his most iconic versions from the Unicron Trilogy. I've never viewed him as G1 "Jetfire"/Skyfire (though I am aware that they were supposed to be one and the same until Japan and Hasbro suffered trademark issues), in part because the two could not be any more different than they already are. In recent years, I personally would split the difference by making them twins: Skyfire as the scientist who joined the Decepticons before defecting, and Jetfire as the cowboy or no-nonsense second-in-command of the Autobots.
But I'm getting distracted.
What fascinates me about Jetfire's Binder bio is his entry for "distinguishing features" - namely, that Jetfire has a transwarp drive.
Look below for a summary of a transwarp drive under "time travel" if you don't want to read the TFWiki page for it.
So, the creative geniuses (truly, I think they were kinda genius with all that I've found in the Binder thus far) behind this $250,000 story bible gave Jetfire the ability to travel back or forward in time, apparently limited only by his lifespan for the latter and "distant past" for the former. And I have to ask myself:
What were their plans for Jetfire?
Was he going to be a time-jumping Autobot ally, appearing and disappearing depending on what he found throughout his travels? Was he trying to fix certain parts of the War for the Autobots' benefit? Was this to explain how he ended up frozen on Earth (new plot bunny just manifested)?
Or was it simply for a "cool factor"?
Seriously, this opens up so many possibilities that my mind is almost racing. Jetfire is an awesome character and fan favorite from the early 2000s, and giving him something like this would have benefited TFP or any of the Aligned Continuity by having a time traveler version of Jetfire constantly hopping around and lending a hand to his fellow Autobots. And while this was unfortunately scrapped, reading his personality and history blurbs...it feels like Jetfire's "cranky" aspects were shifted onto Ratchet, which is a separate ball of wax that exploded in the TFP writers' faces for reasons I'll get into later.
Regardless, I find this particular bit of lore intriguing, and it's starting to give me ideas. Heck, I might even be able to combine a few of his personality traits into the one version of him for myself, though I will have to reconsider that a bit more thoroughly.
Well, that's all for now, peeps. Until next time -
Merry Christmas, and transform and roll out!
