Notes

  • Although Paulsen was identified on casting sheets as the voice of Chase in "The Rebirth, Part 1", the character does not actually speak in the episode (or any episode). Paulsen can be heard as a voice carried over a P.A. system inside Autobot City, leaving many to assume the one speaking was Chase, but none of us were there. We don't know.
