[[Image:CoreyBurton1.jpg|right|188px|thumb|Too friendly-looking to be Shockwave, yet too cool to be Spike.]]
'''Corey Burton''' (born '''Corey Gregg Weinberg''' on [[August 3]], [[1955]]) is an American voice actor. He has a very prolific portfolio: some of his most recognized roles over the years have been [[Tomax]] from ''[[G.I. Joe (team)|G.I. Joe]]'', Brainiac from ''[[Superman]]: The Animated Series'', Red Tornado from ''[[Batman]]: The Brave and the Bold'', Hugo Strange from ''Batman: Arkham City,'' and all the furry little monsters in ''Critters''. He also frequently provides voice to [[Transformers Disney Label|Disney]] characters, including Dale from ''Chip n' Dale Rescue Rangers,'' Professor Owl and Professor Ludwig von Drake from various productions, and all animation & video game appearances of Disney's Captain Hook in about the last 20 years.

==Voice roles==
===Generation 1===

*Man ("[[Sound and Fury]]")
*Computer Voice ("[[Headmaster (episode)|Headmaster]]")

===''Transformers: War for Cybertron'' Gamestop commercial===

*[[Shockwave (WFC)|Shockwave]]

==Notes==
* Burton based Shockwave's voice on that of actor [[wikipedia:David Warner (actor)|David Warner]]—specifically, Warner's turn as the cold, mechanical Sark from Disney's ''Tron'', a character that Burton himself would actually later voice in the ''Kingdom Hearts'' video games.
*Corey Burton stated in an interview that [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]] was by far his favorite character to perform in the [[The Transformers (cartoon)|original show]]. He does however think ''Animated'' Shockwave could take Generation 1 Shockwave in a fight.
*You should thank him as it was his wish to do more of Shockwave that [[Transformers Animated]] even got one in the first place.
*Although [[Steve Blum]] voiced [[Shockwave (Prime)|Shockwave]] in the "[[Transformers: War for Cybertron]]" game, Burton performed the character for a Gamestop commercial. In a [http://www.coreyburton.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=853&sid=3992b18086e21d8f6face60940505757 forum post about the recording session], Burton lamented that the performance was so rushed, and the "gag" nature so out of character, that he felt it hardly even sounded like him.
*Corey Burton was offered the chance to audition for [[Jazz (Movie)|Jazz]] and Brawl (whether that's the [[Barricade (Movie)|police car Brawl]], the [[Blackout (Movie)|helicopter Brawl]] or [[Brawl (Movie)|tank Brawl]] isn't certain) for the [[Transformers (2007)|2007 ''Transformers'' live-action film]] but declined, explaining "[I] have practically no interest in that kind of mega-budget movie enterprise involvement".<ref>[http://www.coreyburton.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?p=2707&highlight=#2707 Corey Burton's message board post.]</ref>
