I've learned through a mutual friend that voice actor Buster Jones has died. He was of course Doc on ARAH, as well as Blaster on Transformers. I had the pleasure of getting to know him a few years ago, and he was a super nice, cool guy. He will be missed.

He will be missed as One of the great VO actors most of us grew up with. He will be forever immortalized through his work. Maybe it is just me but I have always felt that Sunbows animation and Voice over work was far ahead of its time.
