The European French dub of The Transformers was pretty casual about maintaining voice actor continuity across episodes.
Note
[edit]- François Leccia is one of the only two actors to have been involved in both the French dub of the series and that of the 1986 film, along with Georges Atlas. He was given in The Movie the role of Ultra Magnus, but he did not reprise the role for seasons 3 and 4 of the series, the dubbing team for The Movie and the one for the series seemingly having not communicated at all.
