G1 Voice Actor Jeff MacKay passes away

The originals... ok, not exactly, but the original named "The TransFormers" anyway. Take THAT, Diaclone!

Awh, the shy Aerialbot! That's a shame.

He really didn't play any other TFs, though. Kinda unusual (unless you're Brad Garrett or Bud Davis, but then your voice has you pretty much cursed).
COME TO TFVIEWS oh you already did
