Francesco Quinn, Voice of DOTM's Dino, Has Passed Away

Agreed; too young.

RIP Dino.

Way too young. May he rest in peace.

Far, far too young. RIP.

Riposa in pace, il mio amico.

Have to agree with everyone else, far too young to go. Condolences to his family and friends.

i loved his character in platoon. I loved his voice as dino. R.I.P.

this sucks you will be missed

Just prayed for him, man, that sucks. Dino was awesome, but there's more reasons to be sad. he should not have died so young, and for that, I am truly sorry.
Also, I'm on the fence about dino. I don't think they'll replace him, and as tribute to this man, I'm not sure they should.... Wonderful voice acting! Probably a really cool guy in person too. wish I could have met him. Well, I guess, at the end of the day, All you can do is try to move on, I mean, it's a sad loss, but he's in a better place now, and we shouldn't dwell on it. Let's just say he's happy now, and while he was around, He provided us fans with the only bayformer that no-one has a problem with! That's a win win right? Good luck were your going! and thanks for the memories!

Once again, a shining star in the Transformers universe has dimmed out of existence. His family are in our thoughts and prayers.

Aww man a young actor snuffed into the afterlife. His DotM character was great. R.I.P. Amigo

hey, i know his face. not sure where i saw him but yeah, had no clue he was the voice...cool.

but sad that he passed, didnt realize he was quinn's kid either but i totally see the resemblance now that i know. lol

RIP
Hasbro make a Dino toy in his memmory

It always saddens me when someone so young and in the prime of life passes away.

Therefore i can not believe in a greater force other than nature controlling our fates. It just doesn't make sense to me.

R.I.P. Francesco Quinn

May you be remembered always.

R.I.P. Francesco Quinn you're voice casting in DOTM was amazing. For a tribute Bay should add in some deleted footage of Dino slicing and dicing some decepticons.

Awesome idea. Failing that a credit dedication will do at the very least.

I'm imagining the Deluxe Dino will arrive at the beginning of 2012...Maybe when they reveal the figure, a dedication should be present, too.

too soon

AWESOME SAUCE!
They can make a special edition, and have a "In memory of" Kind of vibe to it! Same with "The accident" On set. they should and could make a whole bunch of toy sets in memory of past stars....of course, having the whole set would be a bit of a downer... Didn't someone say that that Cyberverse TRU Set with the white Crankcase was Dedicated to the on set accident in some way?

Awe man that sucks. May he rest in peace and be blessed.

May he rest in peace...About the too young part...I cant say anything about that since my dad just died recently when he's only 54...And he didnt even die of a heart attack or any disease/sickness.But I didnt lose my faith in god like one of the comment in this topic did and my faith in god is still strong.

PS : I would appreciate if you guys DONT pray for my passed away dad...Since he is in a different religion than most of you guys are. So dont.

Riposa in pace, Francesco. Condoglianze alla tua familia.

There is a Dino figure in the making, however, it will be named Mirage. Don't hurt me please...

Bummer. What would be really cool is if he were the human in a Human Alliance version of the toy.

About the Mirage vs. Dino name thing, I'm guessing that, as well as Wheeljack vs. Que, could be just another case of miscommunication in the editing process as with Brawl being called Devastator in the first movie. I don't see why else Hasbro would use a different name for the toy than they used in the movie.

According to the Wiki, Mattel has the rights to produce Ferrari based toys, and the company apparently doesn't want what is essentially their product placement to be named after a Hasbro trademark.

Very sad news ,when i first read this i was shocked .May he rest in peace .I only wish the best for his loved ones .

My condolences to his family. I agree with most everyone else here- 48 is too young to pass on, and of a heart attack too. Very sad, sorry to see him go.

Man, that's really sad. I loved his character in DotM. Dino had such a cool voice.

He's been on some episodes of "The Glades" on A&E as a Cuban (I believe) mobster, and also Old El Paso commercials, which is where I first saw him. I had no idea he was Anthony Quinn's son.

RIP

That sucks to hear. RIP, bro.

Why do the good always die young?

He had such a wonderful talent, it was too soon for him to pass on. Rest in peace, Francesco.
