The Transformers speaking robotic is a lot more cooler and seems more alien robot, also bay creative alien language in the first film which is a cool idea, making tfs more humanoid was a bad idea
It could also be a result of battle damage and being repaired incorrectly over time. Maybe like how he repaired his leg with a protoform, he may have caught shrapnel in his vocal cords, and as a result, needed a repair. He grabbed what he could find and made do as best as he could with what was on hand. And since he's not exactly a medic, he probably made a few errors, and just decided "close enough.. I'll make this work". After the all the time passing between DOTM and TLK, his body adapted around the damage and mistakes he made/had resulting in him getting a new voice. (Like how a smoker a loses their voice or has a change in it from smoking) As for why he sounded strange at the end, maybe it wasn't him actually speaking? From the clip you showed, it seemed like megatron was the one talking, and everyone else was cheering about it. Since the character speaking isn't on screen or facing the camera, we don't really know who was talking in that moment. As for the IRL reason, probably was just easier to just have someone on hand do voices if they were low on time and money.
I actually kinda like this theory, it’s kinda like how people can pickup on certain accents if they’ve been in a place for so long, just on a more extensive scale
Can we just give TransTheories a round of applause. He's literally single handedly fixing all the errors in these movies(best he can) and provides a in universe answer for them. 👏👏👏
"I want Transformers to sound less robotic and more human." "Not a bad idea! Like, they talk more akin to the human interactions they've partake in and witnessed to, perhaps, showcase an assimilation into human culture or-" "The fuck you going on about? No, no, I mean the way their voices sound!" "Oh... So, you want Transformers, actual robotic beings, to actually sound less robotic?" "Do I gotta spell it out for you? Yes! Thought it was obvious!" "Right... Silly me. You always make perfect logical sense, Mr. Bay." 8:13 [audio warning] Not gonna lie, though, that roar is pretty badass sounding.

I honestly wish they used more of starscream’s old voice, his newer voice fits him way better but I just wonder what it would be like if they used his other one
@grunt2000 that's the whole reason they changed it, because geewun fans wanted it to sound more starscream. I personally like the 07 starscream voice, since it sounds cooler than his annoying whiny voice from revenge of the fallen and dark of the moon
Trans Theories, you did it again, it's amazing. The only error you said on your explanation was that Barricade didn't appeared in the IDW's comic adaptation; he had indeed appeared in it. Sure, he didn't show up in the Battle of Chicago, but he appeared alongside Starscream in the video Sentinel showed to the United Nations during his ultimatum, since one of the many differences between the movie and the comic is that Sentinel's ultimatum isn't just an audio transmission, but also comes with some videos showing what will happen if they refuse to exile the Autobots. Just read the 3rd issue of the adaptation and you'll see him there. I watched the movie with the audio description option turned on, and turned out that Barricade being called Soundwave or a random Decepticon (either big or small) isn't the only error in the narration for the movie; the narrator omits the fact that Sam managed to kill the Watch-bot (which you called as Timezone in your video about all the characters from the first five movies directed by Michael Bay) by stomping it, since in the novelizations, the Watch-bot managed to escape, while in IDW's comic adaptation, Sam managed to kill it with Epps' help because he said: "They were watching me. They had this thing on my wrist which Epps helped me with but i couldn't tell you." to Optimus in the comic adaptation. And the narrator also omits the fact that all of Dylan's bodyguards were killed by Bumblebee because the narrator omits the fact no other bodyguard came with Dylan to the balcony and watch the Orbital Assault Carrier spinning out of control before crashing on the streets below. The narrator only says: "Inside the penthouse, Dylan and his men dived to the floor as the ship opens fire. Laserbeak flies out and hurls a passing drone into one of the ship's engines. As the airship begins to list, Laserbeak swoops down onto Sam and claws him into his talons. Singed and bloody, Dylan watches from his balcony as the airship spirals downward." so it's clear this audio description isn't accuratte to the final product. Beyond that, the video is awesome. Great work, and remember to never stop theorizing!
I for one am thankful about the robots in these sagas sounding like a normal person, it really shows that they're *alive* alive on top of being/and not just machines.
I think his appearance from TLK was either an animators choice or a way to tie loose ends as he survived the first film. He was definitely supposed to be dead in DOTM but that was retconned in TLK.
I think they needed him on board for tlk for the 10 year challenge. I don't even know if that's a genuine thing but it's cool that characters like Lennox and barricade were in the first film in 2007 and then came back for tlk in 2017
Perhaps he received a series of upgrades as a result of the injuries he sustained in DOTM? Maybe one of the upgrades was a modification of the vocal processor?
It’s been so long since I’ve watched this channel, I watched it as a kid when I had a huge transformers craze. I just got back into transformers and got back to the channel. It’s so nostalgic to watch these videos again and they make sense of a lot of things in the Bay vers. You are definitely a very underrated channel and deserve every subscriber that you have gotten.
Great video as always. I have my own theory as to why in the last knight Barricades voice switches from the one he has when he meets with Megatron to the almost demonic sounding one. My theory is that Berserker was supposed to have a longer and more prominent role in the film. In promotional material for the movie and with toys etc. Berserker received more attention and had more toys than Mohawk, Onslaught, Dreadbot and even Nitro Zeus who all had more screen time than him. This leads me to believe that Berserker would have originally been set free along with other decepticons and would have been present when Megs and co. used the staff at stonehenge. It makes sense for Berserkers lines to have already been recorded. And since Hound and Nitro Zeus have issues with them having alternate lines in different scenes of the film in different versions of the film as a result of poor editing; it makes sense for Berserkers lines to have been kept in the movie as well. When "Barricade" talks at stonehenge what he's saying seems more like what the maniacal, crazed, ultraviolent Berserker would say as opposed to Barricade. "I've lived to kill a planet" matches well with "I'll suck your brains". If you listen to Berserkers voice in the movie it sounds similar to "Barricades voice" at Stonehenge. Slightly different I admit, but this is just like Megatrons speaking voice in the film. It sounds a little different when the voice is raised/shouting and it loses some of its deepness when raised/shouting and Berserkers one line is him shouting. So it makes sense for Berserkers voice to be deeper like Megs when he is talking normally and not shouting. Additionally, in the scene at stonehenge where Barricade supposedly talks you never clearly see Barricade move his mouth. Before watching this video I actually thought it was Megatron who spoke, but I couldn't understand why his voice changed. SO that's my theory. And I think it makes sense.
miss his old voice and would love to see him someday join Optimus Prime which would be awesome in my opinion to bad the Bayverse won't continue anymore (but i do like his 3rd voice he had in the beginning of the last knight)
I think the second scene from the Last Knight was actually still Jesse Harnell (sorry if I spelled it wrong) and I always took it as the voice actor trying to make Barricade sound excited that cybertron was getting reborn.
As much as we love the 2007 movie i think its safe to say that the voices got better overtime like ratchet, ironhide, optimus and megatron's voices changed for the better
Umm hey trans theories, I have a theory request, can you pick one to for another video you making? 1. Can cogman transform? 2. Can transformers age? 3. Why is there no insecticon in transformers bay verse? 4. Is the cube made by Jesus? 5. Why is starscream not return in the last knight? 6. How can some transformers combine into one "monstrosity" example: infernicus & devastator 7. Can some died transformers mixed so they can live again? 8. Can Autobot and decepticon force to combine 9. Why Michael bay won't make the dinobot combine into volcanicus? 10. Where is drift, hound & crossair in transformers 1-3? 11. Where is nova prime all this time? 12. What is other transformers ability, we know that jolt can give electricity and jetfire can teleport, but is there anything else? 13. In transformers age of extinction optimus flies away with the seed, but where is the seed in transformers the last knight? 14. What if optimus/megatron collect the cube, the matrix of leadership, the seed & and the staff, what will they do? 15. Where did minicon born/made? 16. How/when did transformers learn to speak earth languages 17. What if decepticon and Autobot spark put in one bot, which one will take control, or there sharing cause there is nothing they can do? 18. When transformers scan the vehicle, how can they replace the metal to transformium? 19. Can the triple changer transformers combine? 20. Can transformers have s3x and make another transformers, or the made/build another transformers? Pick as many as you want, or you just take one it's ok 😁
I think it's completely possible that barricade's change of voices between TF1, TDotM, and TLK can be credited to him getting trashed repeatedly in every single battle he fought in. Some "enforcer", eh?
I am Venezuelan and that is why I do not speak English well (I use a translator), but from what I understood, they wanted to humanize the voices more and that is why they sound different. I thought the differences were due to (constantly) improving the microphones and not because they were changed on purpose. Good video and I think a channel in Spanish would be great; on the other hand can you explain why Sideswipe has different voices per film?
I think that robotic tone only worked for the decepticons. The autobots sound way better in rotf and dotm but starscream sounded really cool in the first film. Or at least better than in later films where he sounds like he's not allowed within 500 yards of schools
@@Tom-oz7wk I personally disliked how the Autobots sounded less robotic in ROTF to TLK. Transformers voices should always have robotic tones in my opinion, no matter if they're a bot or a con
@@XenoTronusWeePoo850 I would agree but i think one thing the later films do better is they show a more human side to the autobots. I know that kinda defeats the point of robots but prime and other characters were able to convey so much emotion. The robotic voice and tone stopped them from being so expressive and I like how human optimus is in the films compared to his always level headed self in transformers prime
@@Tom-oz7wk I fully support Cybertronians showing lots of emotion, but a Cybertronian can show lots of emotion even if their voice has a robotic tone or not, the Bumblebee movie perfectly backs that up. All the Cybertronian characters in the Bumblebee movie have robotic tones to their voices but they are still capable of showing so much emotion. The robotic tones don't hinder that emotion
@@XenoTronusWeePoo850 I forgot all about that film. You make a really good point. My only argument now would be that the bumblebee movie is a lot closer to g1 than the bayverse films. The bayverse films were a fresh take on the franchise and I appreciate that they deviated away from the g1 style, whether it be character designs or sound effects. But I completely understand why you would want that robotic tone in their voices.
Maybe why we didn't see Barricade in the mission city battle is because it would be word hearing Jess play Ironhide and Barricade in the same fight or scene
If you ask me, while I liked Harnell's Barricade Voice, I prefer The Keith David Voice he had in The Transformers 2007 Game. If I made these Films (or maybe someday do a Reboot of a Transformers Film,) I would absolutely use Keith David for Barricade.
I remember when seeing the voice reel from the first movie when they got to barricade they played the one in the film and one with out the filter and he sounds exactly like how he does in tlk i guess he always sound like that he just puts a filter on his voice.
I’ve always wonder about Barricade voice in the first one it will deep in the third one was deep and in the last one it was normal like a normal voice thx for this video keep it up
Idea for another discussion: how can the robot form of the transformers be covered in scratches and damage, but they still transform into perfectly clean and undamaged vehicles? Especially when parts fly off their bodies during battle. When can they still transform, when not? How do they repair? And so on... I aready have a guess: Maybe a little hint for the answer is in first movie, when the soldiers analyse Scorponoks tail piece and one soldier says: "its like a self-regenerating molecular armor...". Or another hint lays within AOE, when KSI broke the DNA... Would love to see you cover this topic.
3:13 It's pretty funny that he mentions that Barricade never appeared in any adaptation because Barricade actually appeared in the idw comic adaptation only briefly though. It just shows him and Starscream handling iron materials or one of the pillars. It probably show none of the people working on the comic didn't know about the last minute changes to the movie aka adding Barricade last minute. Anyway, Great Video!
I watched 2007 on HBO Max with subtitles and when Megatron arrives and Rachet and Jazz are helping humans escape it says that Optimus said "It's Megatron Fall Back, Move, Move."
My pov on the issue, his fight with bumblebee in tf1 left his voice box damaged, his voice was changed while being repaired. Then after his series injuries in dotm resulted him in scanning a new vehicle which gives him his new body and voice for tlk. But that’s just my own timeline theorie
I think a better idea for Barricade’s role would have been this: Scrap his arrival on Earth, replace his role with Soundwave. Soundwave is a more appropriate character especially in the likes of TLK. Sometime in 2008, NEST and the Autobots decided to build a facility to imprison Decepticons over killing them. Much like in TLK. So Decepticons we’re rather hunted down and arrested, with the exceptions being terroristic ones like the Dreads and Demolisher, etc. Barricade took the form of a racecar while roaming on Earth then was arrested and sent to the facility. By the events of ROTF, Sideways, who had been sent from the Fallen to Earth, purposely let himself be captured to free the Constructicons who were held there for the inevitable resurrection of Megatron. After breaking out and freeing the prisoners, the Warden of the facility arrived. Who was actually Prowl. Prowl was killed by Barricade who then took his police car alt mode.
frank welker voiced shockwave in dotm, along with voicing blades, chromedome, rumble, frenzy, galvatron, groove, scrapheap, mirage, mixmaster, ravage, skywarp, sludge, soundwave, trailbreaker, and wheelie in transformers g1 frank welker voiced megatron and soundwave in transformers prime
Actually the dvd release is different from the theatrical release. My one does not have the alternate voices and dialogue and is missing some lines such as "nemesis you traitor " now being just "you traitor "
Do you think you could do a video about misconceptions on the Autobot-Decepticon Civil War in the Bayverse? Mainly it’s confusing because of Optimus saying they were fighting over the AllSpark when Megatron betrayed him and everything all the Primes war explained in Revenge of the Fallen
Next theory video: in the first TranFormers movie when Blackout attacks the military base there are no survivors (with the exception of captain Lennox and his team) but we also see that Colonel Sharp also survived the attack as we see him in TF Revenge Of The Fallen, so how could have Sharp have survived the attack, please make a video discussing this theory
Sup my dude. Great vid as always. I have an idea you might like. What if you made a series were the Bay-verse would be matched up with other universes. An example could be transformers vs. Halo. Sounds ridiculous and bizarre but its just and idea.
About a video on jolt, what i belive happend to jolt was que on his arrival on earth gave him and two others a wepon upgrade making him one of the wreakers, the way he found his vehical mode was when he was returning to nest from the piramids as he passed a nas car race scanning one of the cars to be his vehical mode. After this he met up with 2 of his close frends leadfoot and roadbuster and began to work on the ship as he had the power the weld and power certain parts to the ship. Que saw this and desided to give them the upgrade as they agreed but que staited that it might change there attitudes. Then as we never heard his voice, it could have been changed or it might have sounded like that all allong. Thats what i think happend to jolt. Could you please make a video talking about my theorie. Also i love you vids keep up the good work.
I mostly say that barricade wasn't intended for DOTM so he was added especifically for wheeljack's death the voice problem was because espending so much on earth all voices robotic tone changed Megatron is really the only one who has a onscreen change voice because of his travel to the némesis So i mostly say he changed he's voice because after all he got to see Cybertron once again in a will and he opted for his original voice
At some point in this video I noticed you sounded like you programmed the sound of your voice saying certain syllables into a machine, then had that machine read the script in your voice.
I also think that the reason wheeljack was killed off is cause verage is a very active and dedicated autobot, and I feel when they was in the room discussing that scene they probably came with a conclusion that they would’ve had to give verage a bigger role in the scene that involves killing a few deceptions to give the others who were captured a chance to get free and fight back, and considering how old wheeljack is in dark of the moon he wasn’t battle ready to defend himself well enough to survive which will lead to his death no matter what, if wheeljack wasn’t in the state he was in during the movie but in fact his much more active self then verage would probably be the one to get killed off during the capture

14. What if optimus/megatron collect the cube, the matrix of leadership, the seed & and the staff, what will they do?
15. Where did minicon born/made?
16. How/when did transformers learn to speak earth languages
17. What if decepticon and Autobot spark put in one bot, which one will take control, or there sharing cause there is nothing they can do?
18. When transformers scan the vehicle, how can they replace the metal to transformium?
19. Can the triple changer transformers combine?
20. Can transformers have s3x and make another transformers, or the made/build another transformers?
Pick as many as you want, or you just take one it's ok 😁
That's a good theory!
20 is no and 1 is yes
I just re-watched transformers 2007 and I have to admit, barricade is one the coolest transformers ever.
Great video as always. I learned a lot of new things from this.
Nice theory. Would love to see him return to the reboot since he’s one of the more popular ones to appear in the Bayformers
I think it's completely possible that barricade's change of voices between TF1, TDotM, and TLK can be credited to him getting trashed repeatedly in every single battle he fought in.
Some "enforcer", eh?
i actually like the first voice, its so nostalgic.
I am Venezuelan and that is why I do not speak English well (I use a translator), but from what I understood, they wanted to humanize the voices more and that is why they sound different. I thought the differences were due to (constantly) improving the microphones and not because they were changed on purpose. Good video and I think a channel in Spanish would be great; on the other hand can you explain why Sideswipe has different voices per film?
Wish they keep those Machine type vocal cords cuz starscream was such a bad con with that voice in the first film compare to soundwave
I think that robotic tone only worked for the decepticons. The autobots sound way better in rotf and dotm but starscream sounded really cool in the first film. Or at least better than in later films where he sounds like he's not allowed within 500 yards of schools
@@Tom-oz7wk I personally disliked how the Autobots sounded less robotic in ROTF to TLK. Transformers voices should always have robotic tones in my opinion, no matter if they're a bot or a con
@@XenoTronusWeePoo850 I would agree but i think one thing the later films do better is they show a more human side to the autobots. I know that kinda defeats the point of robots but prime and other characters were able to convey so much emotion. The robotic voice and tone stopped them from being so expressive and I like how human optimus is in the films compared to his always level headed self in transformers prime
@@Tom-oz7wk I fully support Cybertronians showing lots of emotion, but a Cybertronian can show lots of emotion even if their voice has a robotic tone or not, the Bumblebee movie perfectly backs that up. All the Cybertronian characters in the Bumblebee movie have robotic tones to their voices but they are still capable of showing so much emotion. The robotic tones don't hinder that emotion
@@XenoTronusWeePoo850 I forgot all about that film. You make a really good point. My only argument now would be that the bumblebee movie is a lot closer to g1 than the bayverse films. The bayverse films were a fresh take on the franchise and I appreciate that they deviated away from the g1 style, whether it be character designs or sound effects. But I completely understand why you would want that robotic tone in their voices.
Soundwave should have been in Transformers 2007. His voice would have been perfect!
I'm glad our friend came back
He deserved more and cooler screem time
Great video!
Thx
My theory is that the way he talks on 07 is his interrogation voice and what he sounds like in tlk is his normal voice
Maybe why we didn't see Barricade in the mission city battle is because it would be word hearing Jess play Ironhide and Barricade in the same fight or scene
Why the 5 comments?
@@razorshark6790 why what
I agree that they made the voices to be more humaniod cuz I really didn't understand what was they're saying when they still have an robotic voice.
Yep I agree with your theory on the voice change
I got a good question. Where did Optimus's hooks come from in Revenge of the fallen and where did they go?
If you ask me, while I liked Harnell's Barricade Voice, I prefer The Keith David Voice he had in The Transformers 2007 Game. If I made these Films (or maybe someday do a Reboot of a Transformers Film,) I would absolutely use Keith David for Barricade.
I'm glad that you talked about this, another great video Trans!
I remember when seeing the voice reel from the first movie when they got to barricade they played the one in the film and one with out the filter and he sounds exactly like how he does in tlk i guess he always sound like that he just puts a filter on his voice.
I would love you to cover some sort of theory on chromia in ROTF she did not get shot. If not it’s fine. Or what if I survived Arcee sisters?
I’ve always wonder about Barricade voice in the first one it will deep in the third one was deep and in the last one it was normal like a normal voice thx for this video keep it up
I thought megatron said in tlk " I lived for this " but now I know it's barricade so thank you trans
I genuinely like baricades dotm design and LOVE his LK design
I guess his 2007 is same as dotm
Bumblebee is another example for his voice sounds different in 2007 and in the last night
2007 may have not been his voice, and tlk voiced sucked
"Are you username ladiesman 217!?" is such an iconic line of barricade
Do you think Megatron is the Same way since he had two voices?
He had a different voice because of Galvatron lol
This is great, I can’t help but feel like he’s speaking like he only just got his script
Barricade is probably my favorite in tf5 but great vid trans
I feel like he just had his cybotronian voice and in the last knight since he was revived and or took a new form,his voice changed
Hey he mentioned my fav decepticon Soundwave
IM NOT THE ONLY ONE THAT NOTICED LINE CHANGES IN THE LAST KNIGHT I KNEW IT!!!!!!! Thank you for providing that. I knew I was trippin
can’t wait for the hot rod one
Finally u answered this trans Thank you 🙏🏾
Trans Theories never gets old :)
Idea for another discussion: how can the robot form of the transformers be covered in scratches and damage, but they still transform into perfectly clean and undamaged vehicles? Especially when parts fly off their bodies during battle. When can they still transform, when not? How do they repair? And so on...
I aready have a guess:
Maybe a little hint for the answer is in first movie, when the soldiers analyse Scorponoks tail piece and one soldier says: "its like a self-regenerating molecular armor...". Or another hint lays within AOE, when KSI broke the DNA...
Would love to see you cover this topic.
3:13 It's pretty funny that he mentions that Barricade never appeared in any adaptation because Barricade actually appeared in the idw comic adaptation only briefly though. It just shows him and Starscream handling iron materials or one of the pillars. It probably show none of the people working on the comic didn't know about the last minute changes to the movie aka adding Barricade last minute. Anyway, Great Video!
I watched 2007 on HBO Max with subtitles and when Megatron arrives and Rachet and Jazz are helping humans escape it says that Optimus said "It's Megatron Fall Back, Move, Move."
hey theories, what happened to the video about transformers about them becoming more humanoid?
bro your channel name always throws me for a loop 😂😂
My pov on the issue, his fight with bumblebee in tf1 left his voice box damaged, his voice was changed while being repaired. Then after his series injuries in dotm resulted him in scanning a new vehicle which gives him his new body and voice for tlk. But that’s just my own timeline theorie
6:17, I think they should've Contacted Keith David, Barricade's Game actor
I think a better idea for Barricade’s role would have been this:
Scrap his arrival on Earth, replace his role with Soundwave. Soundwave is a more appropriate character especially in the likes of TLK.
Sometime in 2008, NEST and the Autobots decided to build a facility to imprison Decepticons over killing them. Much like in TLK. So Decepticons we’re rather hunted down and arrested, with the exceptions being terroristic ones like the Dreads and Demolisher, etc. Barricade took the form of a racecar while roaming on Earth then was arrested and sent to the facility. By the events of ROTF, Sideways, who had been sent from the Fallen to Earth, purposely let himself be captured to free the Constructicons who were held there for the inevitable resurrection of Megatron. After breaking out and freeing the prisoners, the Warden of the facility arrived. Who was actually Prowl. Prowl was killed by Barricade who then took his police car alt mode.
I like how you start speaking more robotic after talking about bay wanting more human voices
Love the channel keep up the good work
frank welker voiced shockwave in dotm, along with voicing blades, chromedome, rumble, frenzy, galvatron, groove, scrapheap, mirage, mixmaster, ravage, skywarp, sludge, soundwave, trailbreaker, and wheelie in transformers g1
frank welker voiced megatron and soundwave in transformers prime
Actually the dvd release is different from the theatrical release. My one does not have the alternate voices and dialogue and is missing some lines such as "nemesis you traitor " now being just "you traitor "
Do you think you could do a video about misconceptions on the Autobot-Decepticon Civil War in the Bayverse? Mainly it’s confusing because of Optimus saying they were fighting over the AllSpark when Megatron betrayed him and everything all the Primes war explained in Revenge of the Fallen
Next theory video: in the first TranFormers movie when Blackout attacks the military base there are no survivors (with the exception of captain Lennox and his team) but we also see that Colonel Sharp also survived the attack as we see him in TF Revenge Of The Fallen, so how could have Sharp have survived the attack, please make a video discussing this theory
Babe wake up, trans theories just posted!
One thing to note is that, even after the voice adaptation, they still retain their Original voice, when speaking Cybertronian.
Sup my dude. Great vid as always. I have an idea you might like. What if you made a series were the Bay-verse would be matched up with other universes. An example could be transformers vs. Halo. Sounds ridiculous and bizarre but its just and idea.
About a video on jolt, what i belive happend to jolt was que on his arrival on earth gave him and two others a wepon upgrade making him one of the wreakers, the way he found his vehical mode was when he was returning to nest from the piramids as he passed a nas car race scanning one of the cars to be his vehical mode. After this he met up with 2 of his close frends leadfoot and roadbuster and began to work on the ship as he had the power the weld and power certain parts to the ship. Que saw this and desided to give them the upgrade as they agreed but que staited that it might change there attitudes. Then as we never heard his voice, it could have been changed or it might have sounded like that all allong. Thats what i think happend to jolt. Could you please make a video talking about my theorie. Also i love you vids keep up the good work.
love it how you address the decepticons "the boys".
barricade thought it was cool to imitate soundwave's voice, and then he lost 2 eyes and a leg that day
Love the vids
4:52 I’m now noticing that megatron’s feet clip through the ground
It’s always a good day when trans Theories posts
I mostly say that barricade wasn't intended for DOTM so he was added especifically for wheeljack's death the voice problem was because espending so much on earth all voices robotic tone changed Megatron is really the only one who has a onscreen change voice because of his travel to the némesis
So i mostly say he changed he's voice because after all he got to see Cybertron once again in a will and he opted for his original voice
10:55 "I live to serve you lord Megatron" 😩
No one gonna notice that megatrons both tire feet was glitching into the chair
Frank also voiced megatron in the G1 show bit in the 1986 movie to add something Orson Welles voiced unicron
Although in the last knight I think it was meg's voice but I guess it's like the brawl speaking theorie from the first film
I wish they kept the same voice from 2001 to TLK
Barricade was one of my favorites
At some point in this video I noticed you sounded like you programmed the sound of your voice saying certain syllables into a machine, then had that machine read the script in your voice.
“He and the boys” Beautiful
I also think that the reason wheeljack was killed off is cause verage is a very active and dedicated autobot, and I feel when they was in the room discussing that scene they probably came with a conclusion that they would’ve had to give verage a bigger role in the scene that involves killing a few deceptions to give the others who were captured a chance to get free and fight back, and considering how old wheeljack is in dark of the moon he wasn’t battle ready to defend himself well enough to survive which will lead to his death no matter what, if wheeljack wasn’t in the state he was in during the movie but in fact his much more active self then verage would probably be the one to get killed off during the capture
