Notes
- The head of Grimlock's Pretender shell bears a passing resemblance to Mr. Berger. Though it also looks like Ed Asner, so, um.
- Berger is known for participating in fan events, such as a fan script reading at TFCon 2008 in Toronto, where he reprised his roles of Skyfire, Grimlock and Outback.
- Berger stated he prefers characters that think before they act, yet he truly loves Grimlock, which happens to be his favorite role to date.
- Berger was one of the eight voice actors featured in Shout! Factory's cast reunion in the 25th Anniversary "Matrix of Leadership" Collection of the original series.
- The first issue of Maximum Dinobots was released on his birthday.
- Berger has stated that while "Grimlock's New Brain" was the most difficult episode for him to do, it was also the episode he enjoyed working on the most, as it shows him using his Skyfire voice for Grimlock's intelligent voice.
- Berger's favourite line in Transformers is "Me Grimlock need new strategy".
