    Damn. I was hoping Justin Timberlake would get it...Then all the tapes could eject and form a boy band, then sing the theme for the movie! Wishful thinking I guess...

    Cool. Still don't think it makes THAT much of a difference, as long as there is voice distortion, but cool.

    Awesome news, I still don't think Soundwave will get any significant screen time until TF3 though but heres hoping.

    How much money do people want to bet that it will be all kinds of awesome to hear the original voice in the new digs. I thought Cullen as prime in the movie couldn't be any other way and was pretty much proven right by the greatness that man exudes in his vocal cords.

    After listening to the soundwave in animated im very happy to see it wont just be some other generic monotone voice for him in the movie. :) 

    If only Bay had given in on Megs, god weaving is such a generic voice who would have thought huh ?

    "All talk. No shock!" Even a dumb line like that sounded cool coming outta Soundwave back in the day. Imagine how Welker's voice can help improve even TF Movie dialogue!!!


    Ba ha ha ha!!!

    I hope they use the vocoder, It wouldn't be Soundwave without it.
