Notes

• Bell has auditioned for several modern Transformers series, including the live-action films and Animated (where he auditioned for both Prowl and Swoop), but alas, it was not meant to be. More recently, he has auditioned for the roles of Ratchet and General (later Agent) Fowler in Transformers: Prime, but lost the roles to Jeffrey Combs and Ernie Hudson, respectively.

• Very enthusiastic about the Transformers brand and the fandom, Bell even voiced Skywarp in a pitch to IDW for an "All Hail Megatron" motion comic. IDW, however, did not accept the pitch and the project was canned.
