Coming from Variety magazine, we report the news of another acting professional with ties to the Transformers franchise to pass away this year. Actor George Coe, a man whose credits list is truly impressive, from Star Trek to Bones to Gilmore Girls to The West Wing, via Archer and the voice of Que/Wheeljack in Transformers: Dark of the Moon, was 86 and struggling with health.

The staff of Seibertron.com offer their most sincere condolences to his family and loved ones.

He voiced the character of Woodhouse in the FX animated series “Archer” and the Autobot Wheeljack in Michael Bay’s “Transformers: Dark of the Moon.”

The Hollywood Division of SAG awarded Coe with the Ralph Morgan Award for service to the guild in 2009.

“It is with heavy hearts that our SAG-AFTRA family says goodbye to George Coe,” said SAG-AFTRA President Ken Howard. “He was a stalwart unionist and a tremendous presence in our union for many years. He served his fellow actors and the labor movement with conviction and pride. Our deepest condolences go out to his family.”

Geez, not to sound crass, but they're dropping like flies lately. Although I'm not a fan of the movies, I can still appreciate the talent of individuals from behind the scenes. Through his chosen profession, he's doubtlessly provided countless hours of entertainment for a wide range of audiences. In that sense, he will live on, I'm sure, as we continue to enjoy his past performances well into the future. Sincere condolences to his family.

I was going to make the same sentiment, honestly. I was also going to make a quote joke about Que's death in the film because I'm a heartless son of a bitch.

I actually thought Que was one of the more likable Transformers in the film franchise. In a cast of Blandy McBotFodders, Que had a lot of flavor in the way he was portrayed. And that had a lot to do with the performance. It's a shame he got so little screen-time in Dark of the Moon.
