    It really sucks that Mark Ryan couldn't continue his role as Bumblebee. He had the perfect voice tone for an older, more mature Bumblebee who has seen war firsthand. But at least he was able to still be on the franchise as Lockdown and Jetfire, so thats nice.

    Personally I think Frank Welker’s work voice acting as Megatron on transformers prime may have also proved himself to Micheal Bay just how well his voice acting can suit a modern iteration of Megatron. If you listen to Tfp Megatron compared to TlK megatron they sound so much alike. It’s just a theory I have

    I just hope they keep the cast more consistent and show more consideration to professional voice actors in the sequels to Rise of the Beasts. Say whatever you like about the Bay films, at least they gave good parts to the voice actors and not just the celebs. For example: Jess Harnell as Ironhide, Charlie Adler as Starscream, Tom Kenny as Wheelie, John DiMaggio as Crosshairs and Frank Welker as Galvatron and TLK Megatron.

      That's one thing I like about Bayformers. We got real voice actors, not celebrities. After all, Frank Welker didn't get the part of Megatron not because he wasn't famous, but because Bay just didn't think the voice fit.

      Michael Bay doesn’t have a good sense of talent. He doesn’t even care about the franchise or the fans. Hollywood in general doesn’t care about the fans or the franchises that they undertake. They just want to put their own spin on the story and disregard the original lore of the franchises that they are working on. For what Bay did both to Cullen and Welker is proof that the actors of the animation world don’t get the respect that they deserve. On screen actors most of the time don’t make good voice actors unless they are doing a lot of both mediums. And it’s obvious that these movies could have been so much better if given to the proper people who do their research or are truthfully knowledgeable about what they are working on. Transformers unfortunately have not gotten the correct people working on the films except for Cullen and Welker. The directors who have worked on this franchise claim one thing and don’t even tell the truth. It is obvious to me that none of these directors did their homework about this franchise.

    Honestly, Michael Bay's comment regarding Hugo Weaving's complaints is pretty reasonable and justified, at least in my opinion. Correct me if I am wrong, but from the sound of it, Hugo Weaving was not interested in the role yet stuck around for the money and still complained.

    • @adamsosna7263
      @adamsosna7263 ปีที่แล้ว +36

      I guess, but tbh Hugo wasn't dissing the role or the film, he was just saying he didn't feel connected to the role because he never got the script, wasn't involved in the process, had never seen Megatron's design or the set and didn't really work with any of the crew besides a short Skype call with Bay.
      He explicitly says that it's meaningless to him specifically because he's got no personal connection.
      His situation is just marginally better than Peter Cullen's in Bumblebee.
      He's a legendary actor who got the role of a main character and then to cut the costs they just booked the guy for a two hour session, don't really work with him and tell him to smile for the premiere
      Also Bay is being a bit of a hypocrite here because he's complaining on his fucking public website (not even normal social Media, a fucking website) that Hugo mentioned that he didn't care for a side gig he did while in the middle of an interview.
      Hugo wasn't being some high and mighty asshole doing a rant about cinematography he was just honestly answering a question and saying "yeah don't care, did it for the quick cash".
      So MB's criticism is just innacurate both in regards to the circumstances and meaning of Hugo's comments.
      Also using argument of "money" while he has over 20 times Hugo's net worth, is kinda not fair.
      (That's a difference between having an average salary in the US and making 6 figures)
      Let me show you the same situation in a more normal environment.
      An executive in a company threw a fit because they saw a contractor complaining about a boring job on Twitter.
      Yeah it might makes sense to never hireml them again due to company image they somehow disrespected.
      But what Bay did is later using the company's account to vent in a semi unrelated tangent that looks like this:
      "Employees should focus and shut up, be grateful because most of the population of the world is poor, but no, they want fulfillment and waste time on complaining on social media while they should be donating money to charity instead, hell if they donate to this hyper specific nieche foundation that I personally find important I will match their donations"
      You see how that might be hypocritical in more ways than one

    As a voice actor myself, you should know what the character should sound like and how the character acts. It takes time to choose a proper voice. The reason why voice actors get replaced is either due to some issues with the actor or the actor not having enough time. In my opinion I love all the voice actors both original and replaced ones. Hugo Weaving is one of my top 3 Megatron voice actors alongside Frank Welker and David Kaye. I really love this video.

    Theorymus, what you said at 18:11 is not entirely incorrect; while it is true that Barricade's appearance in DOTM was a late addition, there's actually a piece of evidence that supports this theory: Frank Welker was not credited for voicing Barricade. When a voice actors voices more than one Cybertronian, all the Cybertronians voiced by said actors are credited, and the simple fact Welker wasn't credited for voicing Barricade alongside Soundwave and Shockwave suggests that Barricade wasn't supposed to speak in the film at all, and this happened due to an animation error.

    1.I honestly think MB not getting Frank because he feel like it wouldn't fit because of how he was portrayed in the cartoon is just disrespectful I don't think telling him to change his voice a bit wouldn't be that bad nor disrespectful. I like both VA for Megatron IMO
    I can understand Hugo having issues not feeling fulfilled or just being there not knowing what to do, I can also understand a bit why MB feels the way he does but telling him he shouldn't complain is like telling someone to shut up and do your job.
    2. I like Jess Harnell's OG Barricade voice way more, TLK sounds like a younger version of Ironhide
    3. For bayverse Bee I prefer Erik's voice rather Ryan, even Ryan said it he would've made it sound younger if he knew. But i really like Dylan's voice for reboot Bee way more.

    You should make a video about the Last Knight supposed to be 3 hours long but it got cut. That is a topic that should be investigated. There are so many deleted scenes that weren’t in the movie and maybe it could have been better.

    Mark Ryan is my personal favorite voice for Bumblebee. I love that British sounding voice that he did without even knowing. By the way, is there a link that featured Bumblebee in the Transformers Ride? It looks so cool! 22:39

    14:39 All this Transformers research seems to have given you psychic powers. I been planning to make a Live-Action Transformers Movie Iceberg for a while, with a lot of the information I've been gathering for it coming from your videos, so hearing you just mention Iceberg Charts was surprising, though it was a welcome one.

    One of the best decisions Michael Bay made with the movies was casting Agent Smith to voice Megatron. He made a good point though; he didn't regret the role, but he regrets not taking the time to learn the character.
    On the other hand, Michael Bay made a good point about Hugo Weaving being paid millions of dollars for a job he didn't care about at the time. By contrast, I don't think Frank Welker ever DIDN'T care about the role and having him change his performance of Megatron to be less like the cartoon and more like Hugo Weaving creates a voice that sounds authentic AND menacing.
    Be honest, you wouldn't be able to take Megatron seriously if he had his silly G1 voice, but hearing him put a menacing tone on the character actually makes Megatron sound legitimately threatening.

    While Jon Bailey’s impression isn’t perfect, it’s still good, but not to replace Cullen like that. I can only imagine what it was like for Bailey finding out that Cullen didn’t think his impression was good.

  • @princeoffnaf2534
    @princeoffnaf2534 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Given that the cybertronians seem to get more human as the film's continued it makes sense that Hugo weaving would give us more of a monstrous Megatron voice in the beginning and later we would get Frank Walker who would give us a more stereotypical villain voice as we see the Autobots and Decepticons become more human during there time on earth

    I’d like to point out that Mark Ryan’s Bumblebee voice made it into the Game adaptations for Revenge of the Fallen, and the Dark of the Moon “Stealth Force Edition” game for the Nintendo Wii U and Nintendo 3DS. However, he was (if i remember correctly) completely mute in the original Dark of the Moon Console games, and in the DS Games he had a weird, funny voice that was a mix of Mark Ryan and high pitched frequency noises, making the voice that we usually hear when Bumblebee tries to talk in the movie (lines that are somewhat audible as words, like when Bumblebee says things like “Yeah!”, “Whatever..”, “What an asshole!”, and “What was that?”.

  • @mysteryperson1958
    @mysteryperson1958 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I wanted to mention another theroy as to why bay brought Frank Welker back to voice Megs in the the last 2 movies. I think Transformers Prime was another big reason. Frank Welker changed his voice for Megatron significantly for that show and i'm someone on the team saw clips or heard Franks current voice for Megatron.

  • @KL8T0N_SLU2HIE

  • @bowserbreaker2515
    @bowserbreaker2515 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    SIDESWIPE: I remember talking to André at TF Nation 2018, and that was the same thing he said to me when I asked him. Also, could hear André was in The Ride 3D
    LEADFOOT: I actually heard the ‘Leadfoot’ lines spoken by Ratchet in the movie, so I think they reused and deepened his voice, hoping no one would notice
    BUMBLEBEE: What confuses me about Dylan as Bumblebee, was the film was meant to be a prequel before becoming a reboot, so it doesn’t make sense to me to make the voices so drastically different and say it’s supposed to be the same voice
    WHEELJACK: I heard SCJ retroactively changed this, saying this is another character also called Wheeljack, similar to MB’s explanation as to why Brawl was called Devastator

    I KNEW I heard that line fron Nitro Zeus about sleeping with someone's wife! I was going crazy over that for years now knowing what I heard was different than the home release, and now I've finally heard it again! Personally I prefer the original lines for him, but they don't make a huge difference either way.
    It is weird that I heard the original lines for him considering I saw it in Australia where there weren't subtitles, so that's interesting I guess.

  • @RandomCivilians
    @RandomCivilians ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I really feel like they did Wheeljack bad in Rise of the Beasts. If they wanted a nerdy scientist, there's plenty of other bots that would've fit the personality they were looking for better. Perceptor, Chromedome, or Rung come to mind that would've fit the nerdy aesthetic much better. Wheeljack has always been more of a brooklyn accent 'i'm walkin' over here!' type of engineer that can crack a bad joke but won't take your shit.

  • @Brazil10003
    @Brazil10003 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Theorymus, that part you said at 18:11 is not incorrect; while it is true that Barricade was a late addition to the film, there's an evidence that supports this theory: Frank Welker wasn't credited for voicing Barricade (similar to how Topspin's name didn't appear in the film's credits because he never spoke). When a Cybertronian talks in the film, their voice actor is always credited (even when voicing multiple characters) and the simple fact that Welker wasn't credited for voicing Barricade alongside Soundwave and Shockwave suggests that Barricade wasn't supposed to talk at all, and that his lines in the film is a result of editing error.

    I’m actually so glad that Dino’s voice had to get the Ferrari stamp of approval. Nothing’s better than authenticity.
    Speaking of; I’m not a big fan of the new Wheeljack, but at least we have more representation among the bots. Like, I kind of enjoy accents with robotic voicing. Especially how the dotm wreckers were done. Still, wheeljack shouldn’t have been a nerd, there are much better bots to choose from for that personality.
