So is Dan Conlin a good Bumblebee or a bad Bumblebee, which is that toy

A Caucasian speaking English with heavy French or Russian ancients isn't the same as one speaking English with a "Confucius say" one–that horrible accent has been used for years to make fun of Asians speaking English. Not cool.
Why is that voice actor speaking with an Asian accent anyway? Sure he may have been cheaper than Ken Watanabe, but paying the man for his unique voice, would have dodged this bullet.

So dialects are now considered to be racism? And where are you guys whenever Russian and or French characters pop up, who are so stupid that they can't learn to say "yes" and "no" in English?

Hasbro should be ashamed of themselves. Drift's voiceover (the actor and the voice itself) are just terrible. Playing to stereotypes just isn't cool.
Primacronus
Is it just me or does the VA for Galvatron have a lot of trouble pronouncing his "S's"?

Most of these r good exepct Galvatron and Drift. What toys are these from? none have sound bites and Stinger only has One-Step and Legends toys. Maybe Leader/Voyager Lockdown, Stinger, Crosshairs, Hound, and Drift?

All the work for like just one toy to actually have a voice. Wish Hasbro could actually intergrate that into there toys, and a Stinger toy.

Drift…. sounds like a racist child molester.
Galvatron's is good…. for Soundwave.
SpinalCord
Alright Rick, calm yourself… couldn't they have just taken sound clips from the movies and shows? Jesus christ. Not sure why these would take days to record… must be some pretty short work days. And lol at "hard work"
Although Galvatron is an excellent attempt, and the dude's hot
Shrapbackshell
Drift sounds like someone out of monkey magic

Grimlock – Crap/meh.
Bumblebee – Meh.
Stinger – What. The. Actual. Fuck.
Galvatron – Not really fit for Galvatron. Sounds like Soundwave.
Drift – HAHAHAHAHAHAH.
Hound – OK.
Crosshairs – Crap.
Lockdown – ……………….

Wow some of those are…. bad.
I think they're mostly for the snappily named 'Titans with Electronics'.
Newholl
Ummm… does someone at Hasbro think Soundwave is Galvatron?

I love watching the voice recording sessions but wow the VA's they found almost seem like they found them on the streets.
Drift's voice is bad and that voice Stinger……eh not even close to how I imagine him.
Dinobot Nuva
That's a good question. Stinger has so few toys I can't think of any that have sound?
Buk Lau
I feel like if they knew what the actual character voices would be, they would do a better and more accurate job at voicing the toys.
Ultrawave
Wow, Drift could not have gotten a worse voice actor…
What toys were supposed to have all these voices?
Red Goblin
lol They use the title card I made for the movie, instead of an official one.
