Should Bumblebee always lose his voice?

[@RodimusPrimal]

A Transformers trend started in 2007 with Bumblebee has had fans hoping that the little Autobot scout would stop losing his voice? The question is, should it come to an end?

[@codaboi138]

In prime, I thought it was a great decision to have Bee lose his voice. It accomplished three core things for the character: 1. It meant his connection to Raph was deeper and more personal, as Raph came from a large family where he never felt heard. 2. It makes Bee seem more venerable. His wound is a constant reminder that he can be hurt and lose things. Megatron removed his means of communication and expression, damaging his relationship to the rest of the world. 3. The buzzing noise was an easy way to make him endearing and explain how he got his name. It's miles better than the radio talking, as cool as the idea seems. (Bumblebee 2018 did a good job with it though) I think it's a core part of his character now, but if it is gonna be done, it has to be done tastefully and with relevance to his character, not just because thats how he is now.

Here’s my view on it. It was kinda cute in the first few movies (ignoring the inconsistency with the ending of the first film) and it worked in Prime, because it created and interesting dynamic between the team, with Ratchet feeling guilty about not being able to fix it, Smokescreen not understanding why it still bothered Bumblebee, and him not being able to communicate with most of the humans, and the buzzing wasn’t annoying. But in Cyberverse, when they went back to the radio talking thing, it was annoying because it wasn’t actually anything from a radio, it was just a bunch of fake commercials.

Bumblebee losing his voice has been done to death, as have the jokes around it. And it was only done decently three times: Prime utilized it much better than the movie that spawned it, but other than some communication issues didn't use it to handicap the character much. And when he DID get his voice back, it was epic. Cyberverse treating it as an effect of his amnesia and a bit of PTSD. The Bumblebee movie 1) actually showed how it happened as part of his backstory and 2) used it better story wise and humor wise (communication misunderstandings) and used it to help the bonding between him and Charlie. PS: Ratchet making entirely meta jokes about it happening AGAIN in Fall of Cybertron is funny as heck, but that's about as far as the jokes need to go. Hasbro needs to stop falling back on this quirk just because they can.

@023 Studios TF Prime isn't a sequel to the live action movie. And he did get his voice back right before killing Megatron. And having a biological mechanism doesn't make sense. Just saying its too advanced just means lazy writing, understandable for a show for kids whose primary purpose is to sell toys, but still lazy

[@bradleyrenfroe2776]

Michael Bay made him lose his voice again in ROTF only looking at it in terms of Marketing and not Stoey unfortunately.

[@sigmoidgrez2495]

I like how in the fall of cybertron video game on the first mission wen u play as bumblebee, when ratchet is checking him over he says "his voice chip is still crushed, nothing new there then" a subtle nod to the 2007 movie

I related to Bumblebee so much as a kid, he was a witty smart ass that often messed things up but he learned from his mistakes and eventually respected the wisdom of his fellow more experienced autobots. His voice was a big part of the character. The radio talk is clever and fun but it shouldn't define who he is, get on it Rachet!

Now that Knightverse is a reboot, they really outta fix the voice box to distance itself from Bayverse. We saw Blitzwing rip it off and throw it on the side of the mountain. So let's say Sector 7 picked it up and have the Autobots get it back. Ratchet can adjust it back and boom, voice is back!

[@WaterKirby1994]

I want the Sequel to Last Knight to still happen & have Bumblebee with his voice participate in the final battle against Quintessa & Unicron! Let the crappy Bumblebee Movie be a prequel to the flawed Bayverse rather than the start of what will probably be a worse movieverse than Bay directed! We don't need a 2nd Movie Universe where Bumblebee loses his voice!

[@CayeDaws]

Why does it have to be a "cinematic universe"? I don't think transformers really works well as movies.

[@NexusProductions-rz1sv]

Caye Daws "does it work as a continuing storyline?" "Yes" "Does it have a large array of characters at its disposal, a lot of which barely see the light of day?" "Yes" "Is it a recognizable brand that can also have entertaining action?" "Yes" "Then it can be a cinematic universe." Unfortunately only two transformers movies so far have been made with the purpose of being in an extended universe (TLK and BB) and neither have had sequels yet. Otherwise every other film has been made with the purpose of just being its own film, except for DOTM which was intended to be a complete conclusion to a movie trilogy. This is why Megatron keeps coming back from the dead only to be a secondary villain.

[@ZetaVec]

No bumblebee needs his rights to talk again back from bay

[@bagsikdangal]

Bumblebee shouldn't always lose his voice. It's like turning Bumblebee into a Transformers version of Snake Eyes.

[@RodimusPrimal]

I totally agree! It works for some characters and not others. Bumblebee NEEDS his voice as part of his character.

[@NexusProductions-rz1sv]

Snake Eyes, the extremely badass ninja from G.I.Joe?

RodimusPrimal oh okay, so what other transformer characters that we see often have disabilities, specifically non verbal?

I grew up with the Michael Bay movies and mute Bumblebee, so at first I was so used to him with a voice hearing him with one was weird to me. But after rewatching the g1 show I like him a lot more with a voice.

[@MG-tl1hy]

Nexus8846 Productions you bring up a good point and I personally do like this aspect of Bumblebee losing his voice but I don’t think that Bay really cared about representing those who have difficulty speaking, I think it could have just been a voice casting issue or a marketing ploy, and while I do apologise if this is offensive to you I don’t think that we should be telling people to go to hell over it but that’s just my take thanks for reading

Scottlen Miller woah woah woah! Destory!? You mean I can't go into my closet and pull out all my G1 cartoon DVDs and watch them because the big mean ole Mike has completely destroyed any remains of it on earth!? Oh wait no, they're still there, able to be watched and enjoyed any time I please to do so. From the beginning all the way to the end of the cartoon. That's how it seems to be for all transformers shows in fact, as each new show has a new version of the characters as the old one has concluded and it doesn't make sense to just repeat the same story or constantly add new characters that are different from the old ones, yet still so similar that they're just almost the same. It's also not like I absolutely have to watch Transformers content that has done something to the characters that I don't like or disagree with. So uh... what's the problem?

I agree, I want ‘Bee to speak again. Off topic, why did Bay think Welker wasn’t a good choice for Megatron? He IS Megatron in my books! The clip of him speaking Weaving’s line in the first film sounds perfectly fine. Gah! I’ll never understand that man. Bay I mean, not Frank Welker.

[@RodimusPrimal]

When I first saw that clip with Welker over movie Megatron years ago, it made me SO MAD at Bay.

[@andrewgrant2990]

Honestly I was marginal on the original G1 Bumblebee but the character grew on me! I think the Bee needs his voice not a radio & if they're so bent on using radio speak, let us be reintroduced to the Junkions. As to why Welker wasn't used 1st in the Bayverse (aside from them being misinformed) was 2 fold: the star power of Weaving & supposedly Welker's voice hadn't aged well. And my reply to that Mr. Bay is, your franchise hasn't aged well!

[@toasterenthusiast8023]

I actually think mute bumblebee is one of the only good things that came out of the bayverse. Communicating through the radio is creative and as we saw in the bumblebee movie can be used to great effect for both comedic and emotional moments. I think it's fun and also a nice bit of disability representation.
