George Orson Welles (May 6, 1915–October 10, 1985) was the voice of Unicron in The Transformers: The Movie. He was born in 1915 in Kenosha, Wisconsin and in 1938 he convinced a bunch of hillbillies that Martians were invading the Earth with his War of the Worlds radio show. He also made some movie called Citizen Kane.
It wasn't until 1985 that Mr. Welles finally fulfilled his true destiny by playing the planet-gobbling world Unicron, although, sadly, Mr. Welles died before the movie was released in 1986.
