At long last Transformers Prime Bumblebee speaks!

Bumblebee will be voiced by Will Friedle. The clip is embedded below.

I'll repeat what I wrote on the YouTube comments section of this video:

Wow, he has a mouth! Finally! :KREMZEEK:

His attitude reminds me greatly of Smokescreen. Doesn't sound like Frank Welker like many fellow Seibertronians had predicted.

Also, I notice the video description says the episode in which Bumblebee makes his big thing says 19 July, rather than 26 July. An error, perhaps? :???:

It's Will Friedle, man! He's AWESOME! :michaelbay:

And it's evocative of Johnny Young Bosch's Bumblebee, making it fitting for that Bee to grow up into this one. :-B

I like Will Friedle but I really don't like how it sounds on Bumblebee, maybe it will grow on me.

They look closest to Darksteel and Skylynx, to me.

Boht Preds have wings and dark colors. So, Vertebreak has to be a mistake.

Could be.

That would be very odd, if one of them is Vertebreak: the Lazerback mold doesn't have wings, while both Predacons shown have wings in their dragon modes.

Well I'll be!!! :shock:

I actually like the sound of Bee!! :???:

quite frankly, I was pessimistic, but geez, now I cant wait to see him in the episode! I like Fowler's reaction too! :grin:

I hope he speaks in the movie too! :APPLAUSE:

maybe he'll get that voice in TF4??? :BOWDOWN:

This was one TFW mind you, if I would have bought any other predacons other then Predaking and Laserback, I could have probably dismissed this as them being half blind

The worst part is that they already have that covered.

Will Friedle, eh? Interesting choice, but one that I approve of. It's about time Will got to voice a TF.
