Was it an English accent? I kinda thought it was Austrailian as a nod to the Unicron Trilogy. --ZacWilliam 10:22, 14 July 2010 (EDT)

I've noticed that Americans can sometimes have trouble differentiating between an English and an Australian accent, unless the latter is *reeeeally* put on heavy, but hell, even I couldn't really tell what they were going for with Jetfire in this game.

True it can be hard to tell. I definately pulled more of an Autrailian feel out of it, but that may or may not be 'cause of the Unicron Trilogy precident in my mind. All I know is I found the accent kinda annoying and missed his G1 voice. But anyway, yeah, I'd vote Austrailian just cause the Prime continuity seems to like borrowing from the past.--ZacWilliam 11:45, 14 July 2010 (EDT)

Being English myself, and listening again to the first cutscene he's in (end of the first chapter), I'd say the accent's definately English. I can't recall if he sounds at all different when he shows up later, but based on that cutscene, I can't really hear any hint of Australian to it. Personally, I'd assumed he was English in reference to Mark Ryan's Jetfire in RotF. Jalaguy

ROTF Jetfire didn't sound particularly English to me. A bit more... broguey. --M Sipher 12:20, 14 July 2010 (EDT)
I have many Australian family members (including my dad), and grew up listening to Australian accents. Jetfire's accent sounds Australian to me. -- Servitor 2152 01:48, 16 July 2010 (EDT)
Jetfire sounds pretty damned Australian to me, personally. And it's not like it'd be the only homage to the Unicron Trilogy in the game. -- Semysane 02:44, 16 July 2010 (EDT)

Well, we seem to have 1 for English, 4 for Australian and one for "damned if I know." I think I'll just go ahead and change it. -- Semysane 16:59, 19 July 2010 (EDT)

Make that two for English. SO not Australian. --ItsWalky 17:56, 19 July 2010 (EDT)
Me three. I can recognize my own accent when I hear it. Alientraveller 17:58, 19 July 2010 (EDT)
That's 3 for English, 4 for Australian and 1 for Dunno, anyone else want to weigh in? -- Semysane 18:00, 19 July 2010 (EDT)
I could also agree that he sounds potentially Scottish. But regardless, not Australian. --ItsWalky 18:03, 19 July 2010 (EDT)
A friend of mine who's pretty good with accents also pegs it as Scottish. - Servitor 2152 20:35, 20 July 2010 (EDT)
