Today, it is TFWiki’s sad duty to report on the passing of actor Dick Gautier, who provided the voice of Rodimus Prime in the original Transformers animated series. His wife Tess Hightower reports that he “quietly passed away” last night, January 13, 2017, at 85 years of age.

Born in Culver City, California, on October 30, 1931, Gautier was already an artist, jazz performer, and stand-up comedian from his mid-teens. A stint in the Navy took him to San Francisco, where he honed his skills in the famous “hungry i” nightclub, and from there, his career took him to New York, where he performed on Broadway and sang in the Bonsoir club with a young Barbra Streisand. In his live-action career, he would go on to appear in over 800 television shows, including The Mary Tyler Moore Show, Murder She Wrote, Charlie’s Angels, and Fantasy Island, and was a frequent game show panelist, but is perhaps best known for the role of Hymie the robot on Get Smart. In the realm of voice-acting, he portrayed Serpentor on the original G.I. Joe cartoon, and had roles in several other contemporary shows. He continued to perform on stage often, and his artistic skills were kept just as finely-tuned as his performing ones, as he authored ten books on illustration and caricaturing. He considers his proudest accomplishment the fact that “he never hosted his own talk show.”





"Arise, Rodimus Prime."
