It’s that time of year and fan favorite Gary Chalk, aka the voice of Optimus Primal in Beast Wars, has graced us with a reading of a sweet Christmas tale, Beast Wars style! The Night Before Christmas, Beast Wars Edition was written by Candice N. Santora and Gary himself. It’s read beautifully by both Chalk and voice actor Richard Newman, aka the voice of Rhinox! We encourage everyone to check it out below. Hopefully David Kaye will bless us with some yule tide Megatron this year too, yessss.
Make sure to check out Gary’s Christmas message from 2017 too, right here!

Memorable roles from GC's carreer:
The security guard in The Fly II
OPTIMUS freakin' Primal!
Multiple voice credits in the original Reboot series as well as War Planets
Stargate SG1 (Col. Sukov?)
A gueat gppearance on pretty much every Canadian show. Must be some an unwritten rule
Very appeciative of GC's contributions, as well as everyone else on the BW Voice team. Woohoo!

He's always Dmitri to me

Awesome. I hope David Kaye's is just as good.

Wish we could get something like "Turtles Forever" where the different generations of characters team up.

I liked Garry as Optimus in Armada I thought he did a great job. Almost had the Cullen swagger.

I guess it’s settled then- I must watch Beast Wars now!

No… HE is Optimus PRIMAL. RESPECT THE MUNKY.

We gotta get these guys to do a full-length reunion reading…a flashback, multiverse, or lost episode thing! I used to run home from the school bus for these guys!
Night Flame
Get the idea to him and if he has time he'd probably do it. Scott's one of those dudes that never seems to tire of reliving favorite roles. Maybe he could do a self-duet with Waspinator and Dinobot too?
These vids are always so darned much fun.
Windsweeper II
Wonderful to have these seasons greetings each year. So kind of Mr Chalk, Newman and Kaye to continue this tradition.
DracoPrimal
Freaking AMAZING… \"embrace their characters\" indeed!
Normally at work, it\'s a scowl on my face and Metal in my ears, but I had coworkers looking at me like I was crazy because I was just sitting here with the biggest goofy smile the whole time listening to this.

The only thing that could top this is Scott McNeil singing Tom Lehrer's 'Chanukah in Santa Monica' as Waspinator.
