![]() I recall the case of Blu Mankuma, our iconic Tigatron, who suffered from kidney failure some years back and needed the help of internet strangers to pay for dialysis ( ). It would have been fitting to honor that legacy by bringing back the original voice cast, all of whom richly deserve to have their careers and profiles boosted. They did so much to breathe life into their CGI counterparts - when I look at Kingdom Primal, I can hear Chalk's voice, and similarly with Rattrap, Dinobot, and many others. Prior to the 2007 film, we'd had several reboots and iterations of Transformers post-G1 - like the casting of James Bond, a tradition had been established that different actors could inhabit the character of Optimus Prime (Cullen - Kaplan - Chalk), and that different continuities could exist.īut Beast Wars is a singularity it only ever existed (on television) as a single, self-contained entity, a continuation of G1, and with iconic voice acting by a group of rare talents. ![]() But, I freely admit that I'm prepared to hate Rise of the Beasts in the worst way imaginable (I predict it's going to to for Beast Wars what the 2007 film did for G1 i.e., rape people's childhoods) so the more different movie Primal is from 90's Primal, the better. > In some ways, it's better to give movie Primal a different voice, because he's a different iteration of the character in a different continuity.

We know some of the human characters, but we are getting a first hint at the Maximals. but we're getting little details here and there now. So they announced the name, "Rise of the Beasts" and that it's going to have Primal, Cheetor, and Airazor, and Peter Cullen as Optimus Prime, as well as set in the 90 s after the 80's success of bumblebee.
