    Eh, if it's Mr.Roddy then he gots to sound like Vinnie Barbarino, a goatee or just Fuhgeddaboudit , capisce?

    In all seriousness though , i'm really not prepared for any established G1 or G2 Autobots to speak with a Italian accent. I may get used to it but hey thats why we have all those obscure guys for :thumb

    I agree with this sentiment. I really like Ezio's voice, it starts out loud and brash and over the course of the game becomes a more subdued, but still with that irreverent and cheeky tone.

    if a bot lands on a different continent of course they can have a different accient. which im fine with and im deff fine with a italian car having a italian accent. people kinda need to get over this until you hear it. like bay said ferrari had to approve the voice first.

    They say two words, give them a break.
    Granted, still is confuse how different Blackout and Frenzy but are both speaking Cybertronian.

    On the videos matter, I believe their brains would quickly cofidify the human language in videos, seeing how quick they are on hacking stuff [Frenzy, a minicon, hacked the farewall of the PENTAGON within minutes for God's sake], codification is certainly not a problem to them.

    If you can't accept a few details like that, I'm afraid that Transformers is simply not for you, or better saying, any sci-fi.

    [/QUOTE]Whatever. I think it's BS that they have accents but it's for entertainment purposes in the movie so I understand the need for them. [/QUOTE]

    Yes, we need accents for diversity among the characters, it helps to make them unique.

    Hell, the movies introduced some of the best explanations of the entire franchise [ex: They can copycat cars, hack internet and all because all modern technology was based on THEM, or that Transformers learned english by the internet], but you gotta give them a break, or else Transformers would be a bunch of Eldritch Abominations [TVtropes] fighting on earth.
