Too friendly-looking to be Shockwave, yet too cool to be Spike.

Corey Burton (born Corey Gregg Weinberg on August 3, 1955) is an American voice actor. Some of his most recognized roles over the years have been Tomax from G.I. Joe, Dale from Chip n' Dale Rescue Rangers, Brainiac from Superman: The Animated Series, Professor Owl and Professor Ludwig von Drake from various Disney productions and all the furry little monsters in Critters.

Voice roles

Generation 1

"Why did you get to be in more episodes than me?"

Transformers Animated

Incidentals

Transformers: War for Cybertron Gamestop commercial

Notes

  • Burton based Shockwave's voice on that of actor David Warner—specifically, Warner's turn as the cold, mechanical Sark from Disney's Tron, a character that Burton himself would actually later voice in the Kingdom Hearts video games.
  • Corey Burton stated in an interview that Shockwave was by far his favorite character to perform in the original show. He does however think Animated Shockwave could take Generation 1 Shockwave in a fight.
  • You should thank him as it was his wish to do more of Shockwave that Transformers Animated even got one in the first place.
  • Although Steve Blum voiced Shockwave in the "Transformers: War for Cybertron" game, Burton performed the character for a Gamestop commercial. In a forum post about the recording session, Burton lamented that the performance was so rushed, and the "gag" nature so out of character, that he felt it hardly even sounded like him.
