[Rodimus Primal]

Voice Actor Keith Diamond was shot three times by his father. In case any of you are wondering, he is Rapid Run in RiD.

Yes its true. TFW2005 reported it and my friend told me it is indeed Rapid Run. Very sad....

[Metatron1050]

thats unfortunate for his loss, but his contribution to the Transformer World and the world alone will be apreciated.

[Opticon]

Shot by his father? Damn, thats some cold hard slag.

[Chosen]

Again I have to post this!

 

The actor was taken to Mary Immaculate Hospital, where he was listed in stable condition Sunday night, said Detective Bernard Gifford, a police spokesman.

 

That one scene from Monty Python comes to mind... "Bring out your dead!"

It's really sad that his role that will make him remembered was in a show that will go down as the very worst Transformers show ever.

[Agent Adam]

Man, shut up. Give it a rest for one freaking thread.

 

 

I thought Keith did well as Rapid Run, its sad we'll never here him again.

[Agent Adam]

Chosen makes a good point, they never said he died.. just was shot.

Actually thats what we will remember him as. He also had guest appearaces on many shows such as ER, Martin, and the Cosby SHow.

Actually I heard he died and now I have gotten the real story. Perhaps I should edit the title of this topic.

I have to disagree with you there. At least in ARmada they didn't sweep the forest.

I am sorry that I angered you and I will refrain attacking RID in the future without reason.

You can attack it, but be sure to make good on its merits. The Train Team was one of the best designs and Rail Racer kicked butt.

Never heard of the guy previous to this thread but it's sad to see that happen to anyone.

not sure what you mean by sweep the forest? I don't know about you but Armada just made so many collecters throw this series the Finger and branch off into some other line... like me with gi joe. #US1#

Actually, RiD did that for me. Armada brought me back.

 

The shows aside, though.. despite seeing nothing but crap at my local stores during its run, I've recently discovered that RiD actually -did- have good toys.

[scrapperboy]

Rid has some of the best transformers ever! Maybe the show sucked, the toys inlude some of the best designs IMO.

I agree!! RiD Optimus and the car brothers (especially Prowl) were awesome design-wise...I love those action figures, even though the cartoon was wayyy too juvenile/simple-minded....

i think the RID toys were pretty good too, better then some of the first armada toys. The Rail Team was really nice, and its one of my fav's

[Outsiders]

I was just reading about this and he didn't die... He is in stable condition in the hospital...

[Quickshift]

Man, that's awful news. What I wanna know is where his dad shot him 3 times that he didn't die. Living through something like that has to be terrible - but still better than the alternative, I suppose.

From Yahoo Article:

He was eating in the family's kitchen Sunday afternoon when his father, Vincent Ford Sr., 81, walked in and shot him in the chin and torso, police said.

 

News like this is never a good thing. Just gotta hope he comes through it ok.

[King Hiss]

He was in Charmed a couple of times and did the voice of Jay in the MIB cartoon, I just hope he recovers from this

Remember 2pac, he got shot five times and lived. So it depends on where the person got shot, what caliber the weapon was, and if the person is lucky.

 

I hope Keith has a full recovery.

Me as well. We don't need MORE TF VAs dying on us.
