[edit]Notes
[edit]- Paul's favourite Transformer he didn't voice is Starscream 'cause of Chris Latta's performance.
- Paul's favourite episodes of The Transformers are "Cosmic Rust" and "The Face of the Nijika".
- In the commentary for "TransWarped", Derrick J. Wyatt noted that utilizing an electronic speech synthesizer for the "voice" of Animated Perceptor led to an awkward, but funny moment working with Eiding on Ben 10: Omniverse as Eiding commented, "So you guys are the one who recast me as a computer!"
