Jazz! Sorry for sounding cliché, but Scatman Crothers' Jazz-voice was like music.

First Aid. Seriously, I love his voice. Op's was damn good as well - it seems to get taken for granted a lot, but Prime could have sounded like such a tit. Always liked Sludge as well. And Crosshairs. And Hardhead. And Smokescreen, with his 40-a-day slight rasp. And Lightspeed. Air Raid was nice and gung-ho too.

Soundwave's nicely done, but it means he can only say a handful of lines. If they'd tried to give him a character, that would have been seriously grating.

Ones I didn't like... Megatron always got on my nerves a bit, though it may be because he was spouting such terrible dialogue 100% of the time. It just didn't have much majesty or cunning to it, David Kaye was much better. They seemed to hit a bit of a rut in season 2, with a mixture of quite generic voices [Hoist, Grapple, the Coneheads, the Triplechangers etc.], retreads [Inferno] or just really stupid ideas [the second lot of Minibots].

As an aside, "Dark Awakening" has the best voice-acting of the series. Blu and Cullen are bloody amazing, as is Dick Gautier, who fitted Roddy like a glove. Judd Nelson can piss off...

I don't know why I didn't think of it before, but Cliffjumper made me think of Ultra Magnus in the movie as voiced by the late great Robert Stack.

I liked Sludge. very unique and cool. followed by soundwave

The ones they seemed to actually pay special attention too with voice over effects and such were always the best, it seemed.

Soundwave, Shrapnel, Astrotrain etc.

But others just sounded cool due to their actors. Like Rumble/Frenzy. I loved that little punk voice Welker did for them.

Also, it seemed the voices in the movie seemed to sound ten times better than on television. I guess because every line got special attention.

I feel there's someone I'm forgetting about. Eh, if I remember I'll post it.

Fastlane? Tailgate? Groove?

Shrapnel (just because I liked the "last word repitition" thing)

Soundwave- the monotone thing was cool

Movie Version Galvatron- Leonard Nimoy did a fantastic job

Peter Cullen did indeed rock as Prime, especialy in his post death episodes, the guy must have been so happy to be back as a regular he put that bit more effort it. I thinkit says a lot that every Optimus since has gone for a similar voice, while none of the Megs have gone for that Welker sound:)

Leonard Nimoy was mostly great as Galvatron (though there are a couple of lines where he seems to be bored stiff),and it's a shame they went in such a different direction in season 3:down:

Soundwave. He must be mentioned whenever TF voices are. You've got to love the little harmonic effect that backs up his words.

Skywarp. Didn't get many lines, but usually carried them well enough. Gets a mentione here thanks to the "Have a good time playing crystal nurse, Screamer!" phrase from Fire On The Mountain. He has a decent laugh, too.

OP. Everyone loves Cullen's masterwork. No questioning.

Megatron. Call me odd, but I always liked Welker's version better than Kaye's. Not that Kaye isn't good, you undertsand, he's very good indeed. But...He just doesn't work with the truly 'evil' roles that well. I loved his Treize Khushrenada, but Megs isn't him at his best. Oh yes, and Welker had the definitive evil laugh; it's not "Mwuahahaha!", it's more like "HmmhmmblublahahaHAHAHAAAA!"

Trailbreaker. I don't even know why, but I loved this guy's vocals. Somewhere between Ironhide and Bluestreak. Sort of.

Anyone but the insecticons there voices make me cringe.

Personally i like Shockwaves his voice suits his character.

Soundwave.. hands down. Most annoying by far is good 'ole Cobra Commander err.. i mean Starscream.

also,

i cant get "..me Grimlock.." out of my head after all these years.. i need psychiatric help.

Only two TFs? Sorry, no can do.

1. Optimus Prime - I loved this voice. It just fit the role of someone who sounded wise, even though the writers didn't do such a hot job making him look that way.

2. Ironhide - I loved the southern drawl.

3. Wheeljack - I'm not sure if it's just the voice or the fact that he had lights flicker whenever he talked, but I always enjoyed it when he spoke.

4. Soundwave - Unique way of speaking. "Rumble. Frenzy. Ravage. Ratbat. Operation: Interference. Eject! Eject! Eject! Eject!"

5. Jazz - I know people are gonna hate me for this but sometimes Jazz annoyed the hell out of me with his voice if memory serves.

"which tf has the best voice"

TF = singular noun

Yes, but if you look at the first post:

There's a contradiction between the title and the first post, so it's more like pick and choose. Since the first post had two, I'll state two and assume the title was a typo. Why are we arguing about this?

...especially considering only three replyees named just one.
