Transformers and Ghostbusters legend Buster Jones Passed Away 12 Years Ago Today at Age 71 🕊️🎙️ Buster Jones had the kind of voice that could travel from a Cybertronian boombox to the Hall of Justice and then straight into the Ghostbusters’ firehouse. Before becoming a familiar presence in Saturday-morning animation, Jones worked as a musician, radio DJ, and television host. Animation eventually gave him an extraordinary collection of characters, most notably Blaster in The Transformers, Black Vulcan in Super Friends, and Winston Zeddemore, whom he took over from Arsenio Hall during The Real Ghostbusters. He later returned as Winston for Extreme Ghostbusters. Some of his memorable roles include: Blaster (The Transformers) Winston Zeddemore (The Real Ghostbusters) Black Vulcan (Super Friends) Doc (G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero) Lothar (Defenders of the Earth) Robbie Robertson (Spider-Man) James “Twiggy” Sanders / Spaghetti Man (The Super Globetrotters) Officer Quartz (The Flintstone Kids) Zap (G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero) Bet a Billion Bill (The Twisted Tales of Felix the Cat) Adrian Lassiter (Jem) Johnny Beldrix (Jem) welve years later, his characters still span an incredible slice of animation history: Autobots, superheroes, Ghostbusters, G.I. Joes, and more, all connected by a performer whose voice could sound heroic, cool, commanding, or effortlessly larger than life. 🕊️
