Notes
[edit]- Galvatron having around 7 different voice actors in seasons 3 and 4 of The Transformers, Serge Lhorca has been the most regular one.
- In Dark Awakening, there was no woman present for the recording session. Consequently, Serge Lhorca, at almost 70 years old at the time, oddly voiced both Arcee and Daniel.
