The name or term "Scott" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Scott (disambiguation).
Scott receives a pair of Wolverine sandals at OTFCC 2004. The insanity of the gift is only matched by the insanity of the recipient.

Scott McNeil (born September 15, 1962) is an Australian-born Canadian voice actor. Some of his most notable roles include Bonesteel from Saban Entertainment's Ninja Turtles: The Next Mutation, Cobra Commander from G.I. Joe: Sgt. Savage and his Screaming Eagles, Wolverine from X-Men Evolution, Ace the Bat-Hound from Krypto the Superdog, Ken Masters from the Street Fighter animated series, Proto Man and Dr. Wily from the Ruby-Spears Mega Man series (opposite Ian James Corlett's Mega Man), and oh so many more.

In the world of dubbing, McNeil has played such characters as Piccolo from the original English dub of Dragon Ball Z, Hohenheim of Light from Fullmetal Alchemist, Duo Maxwell from Gundam Wing (in a voice that sounds almost identical to Rattrap's]], and Koga from InuYasha.

He is an extremely prolific performer, an incredibly popular guest at Transformers and anime conventions, and is probably insane.

Scratch the "probably".

You people are insane... I found my Tribe!

Voice roles

Beast Wars

Scott entertains an audience at Ohayocon 2004, probably with another story about Garry the big dumb munky.

Beast Wars Transmetals Video Game

  • Waspinator
  • Rattrap
  • Silverbolt

Beast Machines

  • Rattrap
  • Silverbolt
  • Waspinator

Armada

Energon

Cybertron

McNeil didn't continue Jetfire into Cybertron. The producers reportedly wanted Jetfire to have a more 'Australian' voice instead of his usual, hence a new actor. Ironically, Scott McNeil was, in fact, born in Brisbane, Australia! Clearly, he was insufficiently Australian.

Convention appearances

Notes

Megatron watches in horror as Scott plays with his arms.
  • Scott looks vastly different at each of his convention appearances. This page only scratches the surface of his myriad looks.
  • He's often very friendly at conventions, and more than willing to do voices for fans (even conversations between characters he voiced). He particularly likes fangirls.
  • For the interview in Madman Entertainment's Beast Wars DVDs, Scott came dressed in a foam Megatron costume.
  • His first live action recurring role was as Bonesteel in Ninja Turtles: The Next Mutation. Bonesteel was a big game hunter with a screw loose. Not that big of a stretch really.
  • Seriously, he's clinically insane.
