have no plan.
TFG1 MikeHOST
All right, folks, we are back here in the special interview of Mr. Dan Gilvezan on All Things Transformers and the TFGN podcast.
TFG1 MikeHOST
And ladies and gentlemen, I am planting the seeds of the future, which technically lie buried in the past because I was supposed to have this done in 2014.
Mike SeibertHOST
Bad Mike.
Mike SeibertHOST
[buzzer] [laughs] Um, let's, uh, let's catch up with, uh, Dan Gilvezan and his quest for employment.
Dan GilvezanSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Hey, gang.
Dan GilvezanSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Gilvezan back again with an update on the update.
Mike SeibertHOST
Now, since posting that video, a change.org petition titled quote-unquote, "Hasbro: Use the Original G1 Transformers Voice Actors on All G1 Projects," end quote.
Mike SeibertHOST
That is quite the mouthful for a petition that you're trying to use to grab attention.
Mike SeibertHOST
But regardless, this petition was created on September 25th, 2026, a few days after Dan Gilvezan's public comments about Optimus Prime Awakening.
Mike SeibertHOST
In the petition, it asks Hasbro to contact remaining original G1 voice actors for G1-based projects currently in development, including anything similar to or following Optimus Prime Awakening, anniversary specials, games, shorts, et cetera.
Joseph KuhrGUEST
Oh, sure.
James EnstallHOST
But when I think of Spider-Man, I hear Dan Gilvezan in my head-
Joseph KuhrGUEST
[laughs]
James EnstallHOST
... as the voice of Peter Parker.
DarylHOST
... uh, Transformers: Optimus Prime Awakening is the short that we all kinda saw, or hopefully everyone saw, um, and, uh, featured the last voice appearance of Peter Cullen as Optimus Prime, featured Frank Welker as Megatron and Soundwave.
DarylHOST
Uh, it also feus- featured Bumblebee, but it did not feature Dan Gilvezan, um, uh, in the role.
DarylHOST
It featured a person by the name of Jarrett Lemaster.
DarylHOST
Um, and we wouldn't have known who this was, uh, if, uh, if we, uh, if we, you know, A, if they weren't included in the show, uh, nobody would've cared.
DarylHOST
Um, but, uh, um, essentially, um, they were cast as G1 Bumblebee, and well, J- the voice actor for G1 Bumblebee is still alive.
DarylHOST
And so the fan community has rallied around Dan Gilvezan, um, and has kind of, uh, started digging into the The history of Jarrett LeMaster, and it hasn't been the greatest, uh, search history they've found.
DarylHOST
So, um, he is 47 years old, and he's done some voiceover work ov- in the past.
DarylHOST
He's been, um... done 60 episodes of the Babylon Bee podcast.

Mike SeibertHOST
There's not everybody is so happy to see this iteration of Bumblebee.
Mike SeibertHOST
And unfortunately, one of the most vocal critics is the original Bumblebee himself, Mr. Dan Gilvezan.
Mike SeibertHOST
Dan Gilvezan was the original G1 Bumblebee.
Mike SeibertHOST
Bumblebee voice actor from the 1980s Transformers series and in Transformers the movie.
Mike SeibertHOST
He has publicly expressed frustration about not being cast as Bumblebee in the recent short Optimus Prime Awakening.
Mike SeibertHOST
It played after theatrical screenings of the 40th anniversary re-release of the Transformers the movie.
Mike SeibertHOST
It features Peter Cullen's final performance as Optimus Prime, and the short is dedicated to him, and also includes Frank Welker as Megatron and Soundwave.
Mike SeibertHOST
Bumblebee appears in it, including an alternate darker version, and is voiced by Jarrett LeMaster, not Dan Gilvezan.

DiecastPANELIST
Dan Gilvezan? Yeah, Dan Gilvezan.
DiecastPANELIST
He was like, where
Brian KilbyHOST
was
Monster ZeroHOST
And he's got the Decepticon logo on his shoulder, I think, and I'm thinking maybe it's shattered glass, where in the shattered glass universe, it's the heroic Decepticons versus the evil Autobots.
Monster ZeroHOST
but I liked it I mean I don't mind any kind of continuation that has to do with Welker and Colin the fact that they didn't get it didn't sound like they got Dan Gilvezan to play Bumblebee though but whoever played Soundwave did a good job that sounded just like Soundwave um And the Insecticons, they were in it as well.
Monster ZeroHOST
That was pretty cool.
Monster ZeroHOST
It's just, it seems like no matter what, and Bumblebee is right in this because he says everybody you get in contact with dies.
