I can see Megatron blaming Starscream for Soundwave's capture.

I wonder if he might finally speak. I don't care if he does or not (unless he has a lousy voice), but I still wonder since, according to a complaint about last episode from Rik Alvarez (former Hasbro team employee), he was supposed to speak after disposing of Airachnid in "Thirst", but all his lines were cut out.

I bet the Predacon/s are the one/s to defeat him and the Autobots just find him and capture him that way.

"An old plan", eh? I wonder which one... Surely not another crack at Dark Energon?

At first I thought it was the Autobots and Decepticons teaming up, but that would depend on if Predaking goes solo in "Evolution" or not.

Well well - looks like most of us WERE wrong. I was wrong in that the prisoner is NOT Silas. The Airachnid-lovers were wrong in that it's not Airachnid (boo hoo).
I admit, this one took me by surprise. Soundwave? Interesting choice. I can just imagine the 'interrogation' scenes....
Optimus: 'All right Soundwave! TALK!'
Soundwave: '......'
Optimus: 'Talk!'
Soundwave: '......'
Optimus: 'Talk!'
Soundwave: '......'
Optimus: 'OOOOOOOOOOOO!'

Yea have fun interrogating Soundwave, most you'll get out of that is him learning too much of your secrets and then space-bridging the Nemesis into your face.
But if he does talk, oh man I bet he sounds super creepy.

It kills me to know "what could have been," especially "what could have been" a monumental point for the series, thus doubling he episode's awesomeness.

This is what I was thinking they'd do instead of Frank Welker. Sure, he's already there in the studio, but this show has a habit of getting unique voice actors for unique characters, even for the most temporary of appearances (save for Tailgate, Bombshock, and Makeshift).

As much as I would LOOOOOOOOVE for them to get Johnny Yong Bosch should Bumblebee ever get his voice fixed (even if only temporarily), they've already got Frank Welker doing Bumblebee's as is.

Yeah, and the only WFC/FOC voice actor they've used for the same character is Peter Cullen as Optimus, but that was less "he voiced the character in the games" and more "he's THE voice of the character".PrymeStriker wrote:Sabrblade wrote:A fanboy wish of mine would be for him to be voiced by (or at least sound exactly like) Isaac C.

Thus, Soundwave is the only main character in this show to have absolutely no real voice actor of his own (yet).

No, they get Frank Welker (one of the most expensive VAs out there) to voice Megatron, and also have him do additional voices on the side, like Vehicons, Insecticons, Terrorcons, and Bumblebee, the latter of which he provides a vocal template of dialogue for them replace all of it with bleep bloop blob.Dead Metal wrote:Now let me get this streight, they get Frank Welker (one of the most expensive VAs out there) to voice Bumblebee, just to then replace all that with bleep bloop blob?

Yea, but why Welker? Why not one of the other cheaper guys? Hell, they could just use the janitor or cleaning lady. I get why they want to use an actual voice for BB to make the bleep bloop blop more convincing as him talking, but, but Welker?

Maybe they asked all the VA's and he volunteered to do it.
