    Ironhide? Ratchet?


    Que is English, very much so XD I noticed that the ones with UK accents are either killed or called "Assholes"

    What is Dino's accent? I have an ongoing argument with some one about it

    I thought it sounds mostly British, which is fitting, since he's supposed to be like Q from James Bond.

    I thought he had a German accent. You know being since George Coe voiced WheeljaQ to sound like the Einstein he voiced in Celebrity death match

    Obviously, you've never heard a proper Australian accent then. It was definitely British.

    I agree here, Wheeljack sounded like a stereotypical old Irish policeman imo

    He's Scottish.

    That's it.

    He is not "sort of Britishy Irish" or even wholly Irish, or British, or German (WTF? How do you GET that?), he is Scottish. I'm not going to start in on y'all, but in my experience, Americans typically have tremendous difficult in determining between the accents of the British Isles (in G.I. Joe Renegades, for instance, I've basically seen next to nobody realize that Clancy Brown spent the whole season doing an IRISH accent for Destro, until he suddenly started adding exaggerated Scottish inflections to it in the final two-parter). Q's accent wavers a bit for two sentences when he gives the humans the weapons at the beginning of the Chicaco battle, (and of course, the cardinal sin is committed of him saying "kicking ass" instead of "kicking ARSE"), but beyond that, in the Washington base scene at the start, and in his execution scene, he is straight-up Scottish.

    The end.

    It is not hard.

    The Bond ''QUE'' was british.

    If the Tf ''Que'' is supposed to be a homenage to Bond´s ''Que'', we can assume that he has a british accent, its logical.
    The true mistery is not ''Que´s'' accent, but the Wrecker´s.

    Mystery? The Wreckers' accents were obvious to me: Cockney [Leadfoot], Scottish [Roadbuster] and Snake Eyes [Topspin].

    They're Scottish as well.

    It's not a mystery, it's plainly obvious. THEIR Scottish accents are more obvious than Q's.

    That's like asking what colour is Bumblebee.
