Tony Pope (Season 3 Voice Actor For Wreck-Gar) Has Died

[Bombshell]

Quoted from TheAllSpark

The Allspark would like to extend its condolences to the family and friends of Tony Pope, known among our circles as the voice of A-3 and Wreck-Gar during the third season of Transformers: Generation 1. Pope could most recently be heard as the voice of Gepetto in the video game Kingdom Hearts, and he lent his talents to several English-dubbed anime as well as American productions.

That's a shame.

He did an excellent job filling in for Eric Idle.

Too bad.

Who else has passed on? Other than Tony & Orson (or is it Orsen ?) Welles?

Ed Gilbert, and yes I believe he has, as has Bert Kramer (Computron).

According to Zobovor , so have Rege Cordic (Menasor; Quintesson Judge (The Transformers: the Movie)), Linda Gary (Chromia? ("The Search for Alpha Trion" [TF]) Aaron ("Child's Play" [TF]); Princess, Witch ("Nightmare Planet" [TF])), Johnny Haymer (Highbrow; Swindle; Vortex Caliburst, Recoil ("The Rebirth") Roland ("B.O.T." [TF])), and Stan Jones (Scourge; Pounce; Weirdwolf (casting only) Lord Zarak ("The Rebirth")).

That's quite a few, but far, far from most.

So the next question is, who's gonna be next?

My vote goes to Leonard Nemoy. He's what, in his late 70's?
