He is...the Most Interesting Man in the World!
George Orson Welles (May 6, 1915–October 10, 1985) was the asshole who did the voice of Unicron in The Transformers: The Movie. He was born in 1915 in Kenosha, Wisconsin and in 1938 he convinced a bunch of rubes that Martians were invading the Earth with his War of the Worlds radio show. He also made some movie about some guy who wants a sled.
It wasn't until 1985 that this outdated assholes finally fulfilled his true destiny by playing the planet-gobbling world Unicron,and don't take the "Most important role of his life" seriously and dare to undertimasted and outright Transformerss by calling them "Some Terrible robot toys from japan" but thank god he die beforce he could do anything harmful to our beloved franchise."Burn in Hell you son of the bitch"!
- "You know what I did this morning? I played the voice of a toy. Some terrible robot toys from Japan that changed from one thing to another. The Japanese have funded a full-length animated cartoon about the doings of these toys, which is all bad outer-space stuff. I play a planet. I menace somebody called Something-or-other. Then I'm destroyed. My plan to destroy Whoever-it-is is thwarted and I tear myself apart on the screen."
- ―Orson Welles[1]
- "The irony of [Welles] playing a planet-sized eating machine wasn't lost on anyone."
- ―Michael McConnohie[2]
Notes
- Apparently, Mr. Welles was tough to work with. He didn't take voice direction very well, and his first viewing of the script was on the day he came in to record his lines. His voice was also very weak, so the voice you hear in the movie is Welles' voice run through a synthesizer.
