Tom Kenny To Voice Starscream In Transformers Heroes

Bwahahaha, this is gonna be a great series.

Is this a good thing or not?

...no... Michael... Dobson...? ;__;

poopy!

But hearing Tom Kenny play Starscream should be... interesting, to say the least.

This series should be cool.

Penguin is good, but Spoungebob Starscreampants?

Well with the number of voices he's done, I think he'll do a great job as Screamer.

I hate, no purly loathe Spongebob. I can't stand the fragger. I hope the starscream does not sound like that pratt

Spongebob is actually a pretty decent choice IMO.

SCREW THIS SERRIES. Spongebob as starscream i dont get it? I like all of the movie designs but starscreams voice in the cartoon ass spongebob.... no.

I can't stand spongebob. Never have, never will.

errr...well put... hahaha

Seriously though, this could be interesting (in a good way). Tom Kenny is a great voice actor and I can definitely see him getting the shrill treachery of Starscream's voice right.

What else has this guy done?

You've got to be kidding me.

Gees! Why not get the moron from coach, who plays Patrick to be a voice as well.

Awesome! This is news but no tthe info i really care about in regards to this cartoon. I want character designs and story info.

Awesome. Pure awesome. I think people will be surprised when they hear his voice. Spongebob is only the voice he's best known for. $5 says he does the best Starscream voice in years.

It's cool to see a different set of actors for this series.

Tara Strong
Tom Kenny

Freaky thing is they are the top two voice actors right now for being put in shows.

I don't care if he did Spongebob, I have nothing but faith in him.

Don't put out the fire on this show just cause you hate spongebob..I mean common seriously. Voice actors do a plethora of work. It's like saying you won't watch transformer cause you hate star trek, knowing that Frank Welker voiced "young spock" in ST3.

Seriously, Absurd. If anything it shows his diversity and talent.

look this is a good pic a cheaply made on pain I call him Screamerbob

Tara Strong is in this? Do we even know who she's supposed to play? I'd bet she'd do a good Arcee.

And good god, people! Do you think he can only sound like Spongebob?! He's done other voices, you know.

I;'m not sure about Screamer, though I'd bet he'd be great. I was expecting more like Bumblebee. he could do an EXCELLENT Bumblebee.

And no, Michael Dobson isn't availible for this series. Nor is Gary Chalk, or anyone else you might've heard in the Unicron Trilogy. This is being done by American voices, I think the only exception is David Kaye.

It'd be nice. The first American-Made cartoon since G1. (BW was Canadian, so was BM, everything else was Japanese)

Kaye is doing primes voice.

Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Who lives in a galaxy so far away?

STARSCREAM SQUAREBOT

I think some people need to realise that he isn't going to use his Spongebob voice for this role.

Can anyone else imagine Starscream laughing a Spongebob laugh at Optimus Prime? *shudders*

I still want to see this series. Tom Kenny does great voices.

I tried explaining that. Most people don't understand voice acting.

People!! He has other voices!!

Come now. And have people give up these oh so witty responses like "I hate Spongebob, therefore this show will suck".

Can you imagine if every voice actor could only do one type of voice? there would be thousands of cartoon animals running around that sound like G1 megatron.

I never said the show will suck. I just hate spongebob.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Really, it could be interesting, so long as Starscream doesn't sound like Spongebob or the Penguin from "The Batman."

Tom Kenny has a very strong range and probably will get the closest to G1 Starscream if that is the direction they are going.

Good choice and give him a chance before you write off the series for his prior work.

Anyone who doubts that Tom Kenny can voice Starscream needs to watch the Spongebob ep where he plays the drop of hot sauce Sandy is about to douse on Spongebob's tongue during their karate match: "By the powers of naughtiness, I proclaim this particular drop of hot sauce to be REALLY HOT!!!" It's a goofy line, but it's a great voice. I can easily hear Kenny voicing 'Screamer.

lol I know exactly the part you're talking about. Never even knew that was him!

It depends when it comes to the TF series... I did not like Beast Wars, just never could get into it. I enjoyed Armada, but it was slow start before I got into it. Energon bored me to tears, I stopped watching it and hopefully will one day watch it to the end. Cybertron I adored. We'll see. It depends alot on story and how they portray the characters. I will watch it, but if I don't like the story I won't watch it.

I suppose in energon, I did not care much for how they portrayed Starscream, that was one factor. Cybertron, which I like almost as much as the original series, I really enjoyed the portrayal. I just loathed the Autobot's tendancy to powerlink at the drop of a pin. I will most likely watch it, if I can find the torrents, but I don't like spongebob.

It's weird, though. While he CAN do other voices, his real voice sounds a lot like Spongebob.

Tom...Kenny? I'm not sure what to think about this yet. I'll wait until a voice clip from the show is leaked.

It's weird, though. While he CAN do other voices, his real voice sounds a lot like Spongebob.

Interesting... I think I dub thee the unnamed one.

Right now I don't care

I would love to know who is doing Starscreams voice in the movie

Well it works for Steve Blum, he only uses one voice.

Will Tom Kenny work out as Starscream? I don't know, haven't seen the show yet.

Can I think of an action role of Kenny's has voiced? No, no I haven't.

His insane SpongeBob voice would make a pretty darn good insane Starscream voice! Megatron NOOO!!! (insert Spongebob laugh)!

So its going to be starscream square pants? ouch just imagine hearing starscream do his laugh....

QFT. The guy is a VA people. Most VA's do multiple roles, so you can't say he sucks solely for the fact he does Spongebob. Hell, he does more than just Spongebob on that show, let alone the other shows he does. I like Tom Kenny, I'm actually a huge Spongebob fan, so this is good news to me. I think he can pull off a pretty cool 'Screamer.

Still doesn't change the fact that I got a feeling this may be worse than Armada. I know all we got are three VA's, and a vauge description of the story, but a young Prime? The female VA(I forget he name) says her character is really young? Meh, hopefully when they actually show us some more I wont think this is going to be a crapfest.

starscream done by sponge bob. yea thats bad

It's weird, though. While he CAN do other voices, his real voice sounds a lot like Spongebob.

Actually his voice doesn't sound like that. Saw an interview and didn't beleive he was the voice of spongebob until he did it, the same with Heffer from Rocko's Modern Life.

But I agree with most folks hope the story of the series is good, otherwise all the VA talent in the world won't help it.

That's seems interesting, I wounder if the series will be good, I'm curious.

wonder wat prime would sound like, since there probably isnt going to be gary chalk

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

I'd like to hear his spin, but that last guy from the Unicron Trilogy did a great StarScream, why not stick with him?

He did a great Cobra Commander too in those straight to video CGI movies!

I have a feeling this guy is going to sound good. Michael Dobson really didn't portray a good SS to me.
