Notes

• Although Ōtsuka played Flint in the Japanese dub of theG.I. Joecartoon, he did not voice the character for his brief cameo in theTransformersepisode "The Killing Jar".There, Flint was voiced byTakurō Kitagawa.
• WhenNetflixJapan released the Japanese dub trailer of War For Cybertron: Siege, Ōtsuka's Megatron's voice was more or less his natural voice but when the dub proper was dropped, Ōtsuka's Megatron voice had been pitch shifted a few octaves possibly to matchJason Marnocha's much deeper voice. However in Earthrise they left Ōtsuka's voice for Megatron intact as he voiced him originally.
