Keith David as Barricade voice rumor

I'm tickled pink

I dont think his voice would fit. Im a fan of his but i think he'd be better off doing Brawls voice. When i see Barricade i think of Kain from the Legacy of Kain Soul Reaver games. They need that guy to do his voice. Forgot his name. Ill have to go look at the games credits.

Simon Templeman. Thats who should do it. He also would have made a good Megatron. He also worked with Mike Bell on the Soul Reaver Games. Bell played Raziel and a few background guys. Bell also did the Fear in Metal Gear 3: Snake Eater.

He's got a great voice.

David is an excellent choice...but.... John Cena would be awesome.

That should be interesting

Hell Yeah!!! This better not just be a rumor. Keith David kick ass! He could be the voice of a trash can. I dont care put him in it.

Hell Yeah, get him on.. i'd see him as Ironhide. He has the rough gruff "I will Rock your Dome if you don't step out of my way sucka" kind of voice.

HIS VOICE KICKS ASSSSHHH

Just watched "They Live!" yesterday...Keith is the man, hope this is true.

I hope he is Barricade

lol i hope you were joking about that.. just leave him over at smack down or raw where he belongs lol

A good choice I think, I can see his voice in the character. Wow they actually made a smart move for once.

Have you seen The Marine. That is one of the many reasons he should never step out of the squared circle and back into "acting"

I seen the trailer to it and that was seeing too much lol

now if it was John Cena vs. Barricade then i would tune in to watch him get crushed or run over lol

that's cool. he has such an evil voice when he wants to. anyone see Spawn the toon? that was awesome.

When I read the name Keith David in the same sentence as Barricade, I almost passed out with joy!

i would really like to here his voice in this film he does great work in animated films its amazing on how he make even a tough character sound sad, angry and even more.

Can't go wrong with him being cast...

For those who don't know what he sounds like, here's some samples from Gargoyles

http://www.dailywav.com/ga.php

Thanks to Shawn H. for pointing new information that was discovered in regards to the Sector Seven website. He decided to look over an older email, the one before the Hugo Weaving reveal, in regards to Agent X.

From the email, he noticed a curious phrase "This ws a dangerous time for us. We do not want to go back to the Ebucehtd Nif scenario." He also noticed that the email is indicated to come from Agent Powers but try to reply and it goes to Dr. Howard.

So from this, he realized that there existed a website ebucehtdnif.ws. Also that the phrase is "Find the cube" backwards. Going to the site brings a blank page but look carefully and you will find a tiny Sector Seven cube logo. Find the cube 7 times and it will bring you a page that reveals The Seven, the original founders of the Sector Seven organization and an email address 317526-AE0@sectorseven.org, an address that is clickable which makes me think that sending a correct word or phrase in the subject will initiate a automatic response that will reveal more information. Shawn proposes the initials of the Seven names might be important.

From find the cube site:
The First Seven hid the past to protect the future.
Stanford Julius Morehouse
Edgar Thibedeau Westfield
Neville Octavian Brewster
Percy Emerson Whitting
Wallace Wilson Clairmont
Alistair Jennings Crowther
Vance Milhaus Lawson

The site also has an interesting sound file that plays on the 6th cube, at least sometimes. The clicks and whatnot I think are a hint for those that keep up with space missions so that may indicate why it might sound familiar even if doesn't make sense. Well, if click here, you can hear the sound file in reverse. Its says "Houston uh Tranquility Base here. The Eagle has landed...." This is from the 1969 first landing on the moon with Neil Armstrong. The relevance of this sound file to the entire story is not known.

The hide the past is referring to hiding the discovery of Megatron. I did send a test email with the phrase "The Seven" in the subject, but no response received. I am also thinking that sending these emails will help them add entries to their database so can send you future info from "Agent X" and other advertisements once the Transformers campaign ends, so just be aware of that possibility. For giggles I tried a Google search on the above names but only other TF sites came up.

In addition to all of the above, it turns out that "Agent X" has a podcast. To subscribe to it via iTunes, click here. To find using other podcasts tools, the name of the cast seems to be "Sector 7 must be stopped". Now if that phrase makes you automatically want to complete it with "no matter the cost." a) You are a true transfan and b) it may be intentional. Its possible that "Agent X" is Optimus Prime since playing around with the pitch in the 4 currently released podcasts sure do sound like him.

Click here to go to a website that has the four podcasts along with the alterations in pitch. I also agree that sounds like Peter Cullen not quite doing the Optimus Prime voice.

As for the podcasts, the first 3 are more just warnings that the Decepticons are coming and Sector Seven is hiding this preventing the human race from being ready. The most recent cast X4 is interesting as it describes a leak in 1982 thats leads to the Transformers toy line and ends with "look to Takara, it is truth masquerading as fiction." Takara is the Japanese toy company that original created the Transformers and continues to release the toys there today in partnership with Hasbro.

There you go, turns out the Sector Seven mystery is deeper and more spread out then thought. Should be an interesting search on the net to find out more information including the importance of the First Seven and the moon landings in the over movie Transformers story.

In regards to the intials bit they are SJMETWNOBPEWWWCAJCVML. Notice that the current Sector Seven password NBETWO is part of the collection as is "www" and "seven". This makes me think its possibly an anagram for a website.

The Arbiter....As Barricade?......Fucking boss!

Optimus_Julio- intrigue upon intrigue! Whoever is involved with putting the Sector Seven online stuff together deserves a promotion. As does good ol' Alex Powers, if only to get him 'promoted out of harms way' into a nice desk job where he can do less damage

Indeed. I'm glad there are people smarter than me that can figure this stuff out. Shit this is better than Ilovebees for Halo 2

I looooove Keith David, and always have! He was perfect as Spawn and I love his narration on City Confidential. Not to mention I grew up with Gargoyles, and Barricade or not, he'll always be Goliath to me!

yeah, I was. I can imagine Julius from Saints Row doing Barricad....

"Get that Carnales muthafugga ova here so I can shoot his muthafuggin ass."

Cool. He's got a pretty cool voice. I wouldn't mind him voice-acting for more Transformers work.

never knew this guy did all those voices.

It took me a while to place the name, but now that I have all I can say is HELL YEAH, THAT GUY!

Awesome AWESOME!!! Anyone here see 'They Live'? Keith David has such a badass voice, it's up there with Patrick Stewart and James Earl Jones.

Nice. Took me a minute to figure out who he was, but after see Gargoyles on the list, I went :Oh yeah..". Yep he rules.

Never come between a Decepticon and his french fries. This joke originally done by a good friend -YB.

John Cena vs. Barricade? Cena wins that hands down. He has the ultimately annoying habit of overcoming the odds all the time. Throw the entire Decepticon army at him, Unicron, Skeletor...hell even C.O.B.R.A. and Mumm-Ra. All it does is stack the odds against him...and he'll overcome 'em.
