They'll talk in TF5, or whenever they show up next. There's no reason not to. They would have been on earth long enough to learn English. I just hope that if(when) they speak, Bay gets Berger to voice Grimmy! -On a side note, giving the Dinobots voices will also give them more personality. With Grimlock's brute, heavy voice, and Slug's high-pitched/low (FOC) voice, maybe it'll be easier to tell who's who for the kids.
Wasn't ROTF up in the 200s as well? Don't have a clue what sites are accurate for that info- just going off what number pops up the most on Google lol
I felt the same way. If they do talk in the next one, I really hope they don't go with the simpleton English angle.
- Megatron crash landed in the ice before internet existed and knew Earth's language the second he awakened from the Ice - Sentinel Prime crashed on the moon and knew Earth's language the second he was re-energised - Lockdown knew English despite hating humanity - Even the Twins knew Earth's language so stupidity is not a factor that would influence whether they knew English Their is no reason why the Dinobots shouldn't be able to speak English. The movies have told us that they learn it via the internet and they had plenty of time to learn English via Lockdown or the internet after being captured.
They're ancient, prehistoric warriors; them roaring and grunting was actually fitting to their attitudes and personalities, as they don't particularly know what's going on and they're enraged from being captured.
Precisely. Things are the way they are because of arbitrary decisions, and not because of some grand well considered plan. This is not lord of the rings.
Because the stupid people would find them offensive to those with speech impediments. Or some bullshit reason like that.
I very like idea and when TFs speak in Cybertronian. Megatron could learn human language during he was in anabiosis. For sure he could hear and think but couldn't move. Sentinel could hear human speech in radio when he was near our Solar System.
