Him talking through the radio for a 3rd time would be stupid, they should've never had him talk through it at all.

I agree.

Surely out of everything they've done, they can give the poor bloke a voice.

How about it, Michael?

Actually, thats one of the things i really liked about BB. i thought him talking through his radio was really creative. I got a kick of hearing different movie voices crackle'n over his speakers to convye his speach. So if he still doesn't have his voice, I for one, won't be disapointed.

hahahaha your kidding right but, seriously I do not see Bay letting Bee talk. He's made a franchise out of Bee not talking.

I hope so too. One of thethings i really liked about RoTF was more robot dialouge. Espescially the cons'. I also wanted more Sam-Bee dialouge. Dammit bay!

I would like to see this also only a better voice than he had at the end of the first film

I am completely unconcerned. I like how BB has been portrayed as a bot of action and not words.

I don't it just seems more like Snake-eyes than Bumblebee I would rather him be more like the original and have a somewhat childlike voice I understand having him silent in the first film but there was no need for him to be silent in the second

I think he was always a bot ready for action. He had an outer-going personality in the old days and usually used words to call on the other Autobots to keep fighting, or to keep up good spirits amongst the Humans.
I think the old outgoing expressiveness is still there sometimes but is more realistically toned down by war and the difficulty to speak, as would be expected from a film as opposed to a cartoon show.
Body language has stepped in to assist and is done pretty nicely.

His new levels of aggression are pretty impressive,tho, and his comfort within his own body is expertly brought across both in Bot and Car modes.

honestly by the time span between ROTF and 3 his voice processor should be completely repaired considerning the bay formers have automatic healing nano-mites

Your right. For all intensive purposes BB should be able to talk. But BB being silent is just part of his personality. Using famous movie/TV quotes to get his message across is what he's known for in the movie-verse. I don't suspect (nor do i hope) that will be changing any time soon.

He will be fully 'healed' by the third movie, unfortunately though just as he is about to speak, he'll probably get shot in the throat or something.

Getting a voice that would be true to G1 and still matching the physique of movie Bumblebee is near impossible, anyway the radio isn't that bad, I mean we've put up with it for 2/3 movies

that wouldn't suprise me They'll probably get Starscream to do it again I reread Alliance last night and according to IDW Starscream damaged his vocal processor during a battle between himself the Autobots and Wreckage

I enjoyed the radio speak in the first movie. And I thought it was great when he finally talked at the end.

Going back on that for the second movie felt like a betrayal of that scene. There was no legitimate reason to go back to it; so while I liked it in the first movie, it annoyed me in the second.

But the way it came back in the second movie makes me pretty sure it will be back in the third.

Amen. Except for the last part. Bumblebee better talk in TF3, voiced by mark Ryan. I wouldn't have it any other way. And the reason that he didn't talk in RotF was that the writers thought that the Twins would be more kid-appeal than BB, hence why they didn't see any reason why he should talk (stupid writers). But the twins are supposed to be in almost none of TF3, so I for one could see BB talking in TF3, hopefully voiced by Mark Ryan!!!

I thought I had read somewhere that BB was meant to have some dialogue in ROTF, but they cut it all out. Evidence that he's healed comes in both A) Him talking in the end of Movie #1, and B) When BB starts using the Radio-speak in ROTF (in the garage with Sam and Mikaela) she asks Sam if BB is still having trouble speaking and Sam says something to the effect of him 'milking it'.

Sadly, I can see them keeping up with the radio-voice to keep consistency for the kids, even if adult fans find it annoying. I have no problem with him using radio-voice for fun here and there to compliment a certain situation, but he should be able to converse with Sam and the other 'bots in a normal voice as well.
