Notes
- In the French dub of Beast Wars, Michel Vigné gave Starscream a very foppish accent, in addition to the very formal language he uses. That way of speaking is pretty distant from both the original version and the two voices he had in the French dub of the original cartoon. However, that is strangely pleasant to hear.
- He briefly dubbed Grimlock for the cameo of War of the Dinobots in the 1994 film Léon: The Professional, in which Mathilda tries to watch The Transformers on TV.
