Thanks Frank. Was "Rebirth" the last episode? It annoys me to think that I've seen everything but the last episode. They never repeat it over here anymore either
Oh yeah, did you know that Leonard Nimoy did the voice of Galvatron in the movie? I can't remember if he continued on for the later cartoons.

Yes, "Rebirth" (a 3-part episode) was the last one. It didn't really seem like a conclusion to the series, though...more of a way to introduce the year 4 toys.
Frank Welker, voice of Megatron and every other cartoon character ever (look up his voice credits), did Galvatron after the movie.

Good ol' Oppie was voiced by Peter Cullen, so was Ironhide.
In the movie there was an abundance of 'higher echelon' stars voicing characters. Robert Stack voiced Ultra Magnus, Judd Nelson was Hot Rod/Rodimus Prime, Eric Idle was Wreck-Gar and Orson Welles [!!] was Unicron.
Back on topic: I just bought TOS #29: "DREADNOUGHT!", and it has a couple of ship names, most from fandom, which is kinda wierd.

I believe the Saladin is actually called the Akula Class.

Can you make a pet of him like a bird or put him on a leash for your girls? Will traders barter for him? Will they divide him up among the merchants?

So for the Dreadnoughts and Destroyers they're (mostly) using names straight out of the Star Fleet Technical Manual but with a different design for the ships.
Okay, that ties in with this being an adaptation of the Star Fleet Battles game. (For those that don't know SFB was never licensed by Paramount but was allowed to use material from the Star Fleet Tech Manual, which was licensed by Paramount, wierd or what?)
BTW are there any SFB players out there? I'd like some info on some of the ships invented for that game. In particular the Federation NCL.

Yes, I know what the real Akula looks like, but I remember that class you call the Saladin being called the Akula.

The ships from that Star Trek game should be considered in the catagory; Non-Canon yet Cannon. The ships are of Starfleet design, but not necessarily actual Starfleet vessels.
Oh, Ultra, Michael_T is a guy, I should know since I'm sharing his bed.

Justin: Thanks. And you're a guy too, right? Hey, that's cool with me.
The ships for the most part aren't canon, but have slightly more leverage than completely-made up ships. We can't consider them canon, even if they're sanctioned by Paramount.
