Stephen Keener passed away on March 30, 2022. I know nothing about him.
His only known credits are for The Transformers seasons 3 and 4. Some
idiot started an urban legend that there was no Stephen Keener and that
it was an alias of Ed Flanders.

This was disproven when Mr. Keener appeared in person at TF Con 2018. I
wish I could have been there. The only video of that con I saw, people
were just asking him fanboy questions about his Transformers roles that
he probably didn't remember anything about. I'd have liked to have known
about any prior career and how he got cast.

Mr. Keener's roles in the Transformers franchise were for the voices of
Fortress Maximus, Scorponok, Hardhead, Hun-Grrr, Mindwipe and Scattershot.

Wow Fort Max and Scorponok were the same guy. I guess they were hurting for voice talent or had a low budget on that last season.

Thanks for letting us know, Travoltron. I didn't know much about him at all, but this is good historic info to have.

I think some of the "Rebirth" casting decisions were pretty clever. Like, you knew that if Hot Rod was going to be in an episode, so was Firebolt, so why not have the same guy do both voices? And chances are that Fortress Maximus and Scorponok would go head-to-head frequently, so it wasn't an awful idea for them to share voice talent as well.

Given how many of the Combaticon and Aerialbot voice actors were given new characters to play, it seems very likely the Scramble City teams would have been featured in some capacity during season four. I imagine Jack Angel would have taken over Bruticus and Motormaster by default, given that they gave him the Cyclonus role.

I guess it's kind of a good thing G1 ended when it did. I hate seeing roles recast. I mean, pretty much all the principal Muppet characters are being performed by somebody new (except Gonzo) and almost none of them sound right. Eric Jacobson is able to somehow modulate his voice to sound exactly like Frank Oz, which is a small miracle, but he's the only replacement performer I consider acceptable.

Zob (I wish they would re-record Turtles Forever using the original voice cast)
