What-If G1 TF cast as DBZ?

Post by Super Sonic » Tue Nov 03, 2009 9:35 pm

Due to mentioning in the dub fans thread, idea came to meif any of you guys can picture any of the G1 Transformers cast in DB/Z/GT? For myself, while still liking the Funimation cast, can picture a few guys as some characters, though couldn't figure out who as Goku or Gohan. But some others could think of were:

Don Messick (Ratchet)- Kami/Korin/Dr. Briefs
Peter Cullen (Optimus Prime)- Narrator/Shenron/Tien
Susan Blu (Arcee)- Bulma
Chris Latta (Starscream/Sparkplug)- Vegeta/Frieza
Frank Welker (Megatron/Soundwave)- Buu/Android 16/Broly/Haiya Dragon/Bee/misc. non speaking animals
Casey Kasem (Cliffjumper/Dr. Archeville/Teletraan 1)- Krillin
Corey Burton (Shockwave/Spike)- Cell/Yamcha

You guys have any thoughts on this or can picture other characters?

Frank Welker as Broly or Cell would be epic. Orson Welles would have been a great Omega Shenron IMO.

He would huh. Didn't consider him due to his passing the same year the DB anime started, same with Scatman Crothers (Jazz).

The Script would need to be accurate too, or I'd still call Foul.

However, the Idea of Peter Cullen and Frank Welker in a DBZ Cast is godly.

Peter Cullen as the Narrator would rock! :shock:

It's just like when he did the voice-overs for the Toonami ads. Ah, those were the days.... :D

Just give them all to Welker. All of them. Bulma included. I'm just imagining Kuririn with his Rumble voice. :D

Also, they gave the Quintessons really horrible, deep, slow rapevoices. Perfect for Cell and maybe Freeza.
It's party time, Ginyu style!

Now that I think of it, and this may sound like a bad pun, but I think Corey Burton would make a nice Dr. Wheelo with his Braniac voice.

I would love to see Chris Latta as Zarbon or Kiwi.

(Pictures fight banter between Latta and Chris Sabat)

While I still see Latta as Vegeta and Frieza, you made me picture Frieza with Megatron's voice saying, "You fool, Zarbon!"
