Died last night aged 64.

I'd heard his health wasn't great, but that really shocked me. :( He will be missed.

Well, that's two Eggmen dead, four to go (and hopefully not go any time soon)...

Wow first Scotty and now him. I like to add that he was also the voice of Captain Compasitor(The Crimson Binome) from ReBoot. He will be missed.

Is it possible that taking up the task of Dr Robotnik is a curse? x.x This is a voice that entertained me as Robotnik as I was growing up...this is indeed quite a saddening loss.

Who's the first?

Shame to see anyone go, of course, but now you've got me curious for the records.

Deem Bristow, voice for Eggman in the games, Sonic Adventure onwards.

I knew I'd heard his name before when I saw his obituary (as a blues artist)!

Damn. Damn He will be missed.....

NO!!! No, no, no, no, NO! It CAN'T be true! It's shameful about the AoStH Eggman, but the SA Eggman?? NO! His voice has an incredible amount of sentimental value to me... I can't believe I didn't know he passed away... ;___; He will be sorely missed.

We've lost Robotnik and Komplex. :( Sad day, indeed.

He played the Air Marshall, too - not just Komplex.

Well, Inever knew that the AoStH eggman had died. I had deard about the SA one. I'm wondering who's going to do the voice of Eggman for the Shadow game. I'm guessing they might shelve it out of respect, I won't blame them if they did. Tis a sad day.:(

The SA/SA2 Eggman died a long time before the Shadow game was even known. I think it was even before Heroes, but I can't remember for certain. Someone else is doing the voice now.

It was after Heroes but before Shadow.

Well.. at least Jim Cummings (is that right?) is still around... Robotnik.. my favourite character.. aih. For the bad guys, of course.

Yeah, Robotnik is my favorite villain, too. Ever. Out of every video game, cartoon, movie, and drama, Robotnik is my favorite villain, hands down. ;___;
