    He goes, "Listen up!". and i am clueless as to why. was he about to give an order? comment, speculate. o and is it just me or should the constructicons havebeen the main supporting cons in rotf? like in movie one it was megs starscream and 6 others. so why couldnt it have been megs screamer soundwave and 5 main constructicons. i.e. mixmaster, long haul, scrapper, rampage/boncrusher reformated, and hightower/hook? we woulda got toys of ALL of the cons accept some.

    I think he says "Fasten up" as a subtle warning to the cinema-going public to wear their seatbelts on the way home.

    When in the spotted heck does Mixmaster speak in ROTF?

    (oh, and it's 'except', not "accept")

    Maybe he means it in a "listen to the sound of your impending DOOM" kinda way.

    The times I've seen the movie, it sounds like he was about to say "little" before he is shot at. "Listen up li..." (shot) (Transforms)

    He doesn't say anything. It's generic grunting.

    He says "Listen up," check the subtitles. And he says listen up because he's announcing his presence to the puny humans.

    This, this, and this.

    I hadn't heard him say anything. Does anyone have a time stamp so I can go right to that point on the DVD?

    You guys are gonna trust subtitles? Really?

    I have 6 movies on my shelf where they have a character that is silent in the film listed as saying something or the entire line is totally wrong.

    Case in point, don't trust subtitles. Mixmaster was grunting.

    Yep, Mixmaster's grunting. But if he really was talking, he probably meant, "Listen up, I'm gonna kill you all!" or something Decepticon-y like that.

    Yeah, do not trust the subtitles.
    But, if your going off the subtitles, it was probably a ultimateum.

    This reminds me of my old post where I thought Bumblebee said "What an asshole!" to Sam before being sent into the garage after shooting up all the appliance bots.

    I've heard it but always thought he was saying something in Cybertronian. I didn't catch any English.

    He says listen up because he wants you to hear the glorious, orgasmic noise of his giant ass cannon when it fires.
