Voice roles

Transformers: Rise of the Beasts

• Airazor

Notes

• The original Transformers cartoon was rebroadcast on Dorothée's TV show Récré A2 in 1987.
• The official announce of her participation in Rise of the Beasts on Twitter uses the original name of Airazor, implying that the original names of the Maximals will most likely be used in the dub. So far, the French names used in the Beast Wars cartoon (Serdacier instead of Airazor for example) had been kept in the late dub of Beast Machines and in Netflix's War for Cybertron Trilogy.
