    Double post.

    Anyway, of course what you're saying is your opinion. And what I said was my opinion. And we're having a discussion based on opinions. You present yours, I present mine, point-counter point, and that's how a debate works. That's literally what a discussion is.

    Just because you're presenting an opinion doesn't mean it's infallible. An opinion can be wrong. Or I might find it in bad taste. Or any myriad number of reasons I might value your opinion less than mine. And so we discuss.

    And all is right in the world. ;)

    Yeah the fandom's forgotten Johnny Yong Bosch's take because he only voiced him once. Now it's either Dan Gilvezan, Will Friedle or Mark Ryan...and sometimes Bumper Robinson. I agree he captures every aspect of Bumblebee, it's a voice that can work as any incarnation.

    Nah the problem wasn't that they were black it was because they sounded "ghetto"

    Jesus Christ... That is not Bumblebee. That is not something Bumblebee would ever say, and playing that song while murdering someone is not something he would do.

    He's the Autobots' smartass little brother. He's an optimistic kid... Not some generic posturing gangsta badass.

    This is Bumblebee;

    This...

    ... Is decidedly not.

    (Still, L.o.l. @ Goldenclaw55's response.)
    Em's outro verse starting at 3:54 is even more violent bad-ass by the way.

    Bee would probably never say or do any of these things (Though I'm open to suggestions.) It just hit me as a Hip Hop fan remembering Bee playing "Can't touch this"; Felt like expanding the rap gimmick and got carried away while listening to Slim.

    In this day of age, anyone who wants to. Middle class kids from white collar families can sound 'Ghetto' and walk around covered in chains with their trousers around their ankles and stupid caps on backwards, which is what I've always seen Skidz and Mudflap as. Impressionable nippers who zoned in on that particular zeitgeist when they arrived on Earth.

    Both are versions of Bumblebee. You are well within your rights to prefer one to the other, that doesn't mean that everyone else has to, or that one is 'right' and one is 'wrong'

    But many people prefer Will Friedle and many are tired of this 'voice issue' gimmick

    1. Make up your mind, it was someone else you wanted yesterday.

    2. No one has stated their opinion on the 'voice issue' as fact, just their preferences towards either retaining the status quo or for the voice actor(s) that they would like to see have the role.

    Eh. I wouldn't mind more voice gimmick. I still think the idea has potential.

    Also, I'm still pushing for Samuel L. Jackson as Bumblebee.

    After all, they'll probably end up using Mark Ryan :(

    I hope one day we have Senior Citizen Bumblebee and he sounds exactly like Jetfire.

    Whatever sounds youthful. I suppose they won't use the voice talent for the teen Ben 10?
