It could also be a result of battle damage and being repaired incorrectly over time. Maybe like how he repaired his leg with a protoform, he may have caught shrapnel in his vocal cords, and as a result, needed a repair. He grabbed what he could find and made do as best as he could with what was on hand. And since he's not exactly a medic, he probably made a few errors, and just decided "close enough.. I'll make this work". After the all the time passing between DOTM and TLK, his body adapted around the damage and mistakes he made/had resulting in him getting a new voice. (Like how a smoker a loses their voice or has a change in it from smoking) As for why he sounded strange at the end, maybe it wasn't him actually speaking? From the clip you showed, it seemed like megatron was the one talking, and everyone else was cheering about it. Since the character speaking isn't on screen or facing the camera, we don't really know who was talking in that moment. As for the IRL reason, probably was just easier to just have someone on hand do voices if they were low on time and money.
The Transformers speaking robotic is a lot more cooler and seems more alien robot, also bay creative alien language in the first film which is a cool idea, making tfs more humanoid was a bad idea
I actually kinda like this theory, it’s kinda like how people can pickup on certain accents if they’ve been in a place for so long, just on a more extensive scale
I honestly wish they used more of starscream’s old voice, his newer voice fits him way better but I just wonder what it would be like if they used his other one
@grunt2000 that's the whole reason they changed it, because geewun fans wanted it to sound more starscream. I personally like the 07 starscream voice, since it sounds cooler than his annoying whiny voice from revenge of the fallen and dark of the moon
"I want Transformers to sound less robotic and more human." "Not a bad idea! Like, they talk more akin to the human interactions they've partake in and witnessed to, perhaps, showcase an assimilation into human culture or-" "The fuck you going on about? No, no, I mean the way their voices sound!" "Oh... So, you want Transformers, actual robotic beings, to actually sound less robotic?" "Do I gotta spell it out for you? Yes! Thought it was obvious!" "Right... Silly me. You always make perfect logical sense, Mr. Bay." 8:13 [audio warning] Not gonna lie, though, that roar is pretty badass sounding.

Can we just give TransTheories a round of applause. He's literally single handedly fixing all the errors in these movies(best he can) and provides a in universe answer for them. 👏👏👏
Trans Theories, you did it again, it's amazing. The only error you said on your explanation was that Barricade didn't appeared in the IDW's comic adaptation; he had indeed appeared in it. Sure, he didn't show up in the Battle of Chicago, but he appeared alongside Starscream in the video Sentinel showed to the United Nations during his ultimatum, since one of the many differences between the movie and the comic is that Sentinel's ultimatum isn't just an audio transmission, but also comes with some videos showing what will happen if they refuse to exile the Autobots. Just read the 3rd issue of the adaptation and you'll see him there. I watched the movie with the audio description option turned on, and turned out that Barricade being called Soundwave or a random Decepticon (either big or small) isn't the only error in the narration for the movie; the narrator omits the fact that Sam managed to kill the Watch-bot (which you called as Timezone in your video about all the characters from the first five movies directed by Michael Bay) by stomping it, since in the novelizations, the Watch-bot managed to escape, while in IDW's comic adaptation, Sam managed to kill it with Epps' help because he said: "They were watching me. They had this thing on my wrist which Epps helped me with but i couldn't tell you." to Optimus in the comic adaptation. And the narrator also omits the fact that all of Dylan's bodyguards were killed by Bumblebee because the narrator omits the fact no other bodyguard came with Dylan to the balcony and watch the Orbital Assault Carrier spinning out of control before crashing on the streets below. The narrator only says: "Inside the penthouse, Dylan and his men dived to the floor as the ship opens fire. Laserbeak flies out and hurls a passing drone into one of the ship's engines. As the airship begins to list, Laserbeak swoops down onto Sam and claws him into his talons. Singed and bloody, Dylan watches from his balcony as the airship spirals downward." so it's clear this audio description isn't accuratte to the final product. Beyond that, the video is awesome. Great work, and remember to never stop theorizing!
It’s been so long since I’ve watched this channel, I watched it as a kid when I had a huge transformers craze. I just got back into transformers and got back to the channel. It’s so nostalgic to watch these videos again and they make sense of a lot of things in the Bay vers. You are definitely a very underrated channel and deserve every subscriber that you have gotten.
I for one am thankful about the robots in these sagas sounding like a normal person, it really shows that they're *alive* alive on top of being/and not just machines.
I think his appearance from TLK was either an animators choice or a way to tie loose ends as he survived the first film. He was definitely supposed to be dead in DOTM but that was retconned in TLK.
I think they needed him on board for tlk for the 10 year challenge. I don't even know if that's a genuine thing but it's cool that characters like Lennox and barricade were in the first film in 2007 and then came back for tlk in 2017
Perhaps he received a series of upgrades as a result of the injuries he sustained in DOTM? Maybe one of the upgrades was a modification of the vocal processor?
I think that robotic tone only worked for the decepticons. The autobots sound way better in rotf and dotm but starscream sounded really cool in the first film. Or at least better than in later films where he sounds like he's not allowed within 500 yards of schools
@@Tom-oz7wk I personally disliked how the Autobots sounded less robotic in ROTF to TLK. Transformers voices should always have robotic tones in my opinion, no matter if they're a bot or a con
@@XenoTronusWeePoo850 I would agree but i think one thing the later films do better is they show a more human side to the autobots. I know that kinda defeats the point of robots but prime and other characters were able to convey so much emotion. The robotic voice and tone stopped them from being so expressive and I like how human optimus is in the films compared to his always level headed self in transformers prime
@@Tom-oz7wk I fully support Cybertronians showing lots of emotion, but a Cybertronian can show lots of emotion even if their voice has a robotic tone or not, the Bumblebee movie perfectly backs that up. All the Cybertronian characters in the Bumblebee movie have robotic tones to their voices but they are still capable of showing so much emotion. The robotic tones don't hinder that emotion
@@XenoTronusWeePoo850 I forgot all about that film. You make a really good point. My only argument now would be that the bumblebee movie is a lot closer to g1 than the bayverse films. The bayverse films were a fresh take on the franchise and I appreciate that they deviated away from the g1 style, whether it be character designs or sound effects. But I completely understand why you would want that robotic tone in their voices.
As much as we love the 2007 movie i think its safe to say that the voices got better overtime like ratchet, ironhide, optimus and megatron's voices changed for the better
miss his old voice and would love to see him someday join Optimus Prime which would be awesome in my opinion to bad the Bayverse won't continue anymore (but i do like his 3rd voice he had in the beginning of the last knight)
I think it's completely possible that barricade's change of voices between TF1, TDotM, and TLK can be credited to him getting trashed repeatedly in every single battle he fought in. Some "enforcer", eh?
Umm hey trans theories, I have a theory request, can you pick one to for another video you making? 1. Can cogman transform? 2. Can transformers age? 3. Why is there no insecticon in transformers bay verse? 4. Is the cube made by Jesus? 5. Why is starscream not return in the last knight? 6. How can some transformers combine into one "monstrosity" example: infernicus & devastator 7. Can some died transformers mixed so they can live again? 8. Can Autobot and decepticon force to combine 9. Why Michael bay won't make the dinobot combine into volcanicus? 10. Where is drift, hound & crossair in transformers 1-3? 11. Where is nova prime all this time? 12. What is other transformers ability, we know that jolt can give electricity and jetfire can teleport, but is there anything else? 13. In transformers age of extinction optimus flies away with the seed, but where is the seed in transformers the last knight? 14. What if optimus/megatron collect the cube, the matrix of leadership, the seed & and the staff, what will they do? 15. Where did minicon born/made? 16. How/when did transformers learn to speak earth languages 17. What if decepticon and Autobot spark put in one bot, which one will take control, or there sharing cause there is nothing they can do? 18. When transformers scan the vehicle, how can they replace the metal to transformium? 19. Can the triple changer transformers combine? 20. Can transformers have s3x and make another transformers, or the made/build another transformers? Pick as many as you want, or you just take one it's ok 😁
Great video as always. I have my own theory as to why in the last knight Barricades voice switches from the one he has when he meets with Megatron to the almost demonic sounding one. My theory is that Berserker was supposed to have a longer and more prominent role in the film. In promotional material for the movie and with toys etc. Berserker received more attention and had more toys than Mohawk, Onslaught, Dreadbot and even Nitro Zeus who all had more screen time than him. This leads me to believe that Berserker would have originally been set free along with other decepticons and would have been present when Megs and co. used the staff at stonehenge. It makes sense for Berserkers lines to have already been recorded. And since Hound and Nitro Zeus have issues with them having alternate lines in different scenes of the film in different versions of the film as a result of poor editing; it makes sense for Berserkers lines to have been kept in the movie as well. When "Barricade" talks at stonehenge what he's saying seems more like what the maniacal, crazed, ultraviolent Berserker would say as opposed to Barricade. "I've lived to kill a planet" matches well with "I'll suck your brains". If you listen to Berserkers voice in the movie it sounds similar to "Barricades voice" at Stonehenge. Slightly different I admit, but this is just like Megatrons speaking voice in the film. It sounds a little different when the voice is raised/shouting and it loses some of its deepness when raised/shouting and Berserkers one line is him shouting. So it makes sense for Berserkers voice to be deeper like Megs when he is talking normally and not shouting. Additionally, in the scene at stonehenge where Barricade supposedly talks you never clearly see Barricade move his mouth. Before watching this video I actually thought it was Megatron who spoke, but I couldn't understand why his voice changed. SO that's my theory. And I think it makes sense.
I think the second scene from the Last Knight was actually still Jesse Harnell (sorry if I spelled it wrong) and I always took it as the voice actor trying to make Barricade sound excited that cybertron was getting reborn.
I am Venezuelan and that is why I do not speak English well (I use a translator), but from what I understood, they wanted to humanize the voices more and that is why they sound different. I thought the differences were due to (constantly) improving the microphones and not because they were changed on purpose. Good video and I think a channel in Spanish would be great; on the other hand can you explain why Sideswipe has different voices per film?
If you ask me, while I liked Harnell's Barricade Voice, I prefer The Keith David Voice he had in The Transformers 2007 Game. If I made these Films (or maybe someday do a Reboot of a Transformers Film,) I would absolutely use Keith David for Barricade.
Do you think you could do a video about misconceptions on the Autobot-Decepticon Civil War in the Bayverse? Mainly it’s confusing because of Optimus saying they were fighting over the AllSpark when Megatron betrayed him and everything all the Primes war explained in Revenge of the Fallen
frank welker voiced shockwave in dotm, along with voicing blades, chromedome, rumble, frenzy, galvatron, groove, scrapheap, mirage, mixmaster, ravage, skywarp, sludge, soundwave, trailbreaker, and wheelie in transformers g1 frank welker voiced megatron and soundwave in transformers prime
How was in transformers last knight we get to see a portrait of iron hide and prime... How is that, they arrive in 2007. They look alike cause iron hide has cannons and Optimus hs his formed in 2007 can you explain this
I'm not sure if ur going to see this trans but I'll talk anyways... So basically I want u to do a video about when did bumblebee and the other transformers arrive to earth?(bad Grammer there lol)now for those of you who is seeing this comment u may be thinking bruh what is this guy thinking he came after Sam finished jc and the others arrived a few minutes after that well no because in tlk the WW2 flashback scene bumblebee is there so the bumblebee case is closed we know he and hotrod came to earth during WW2. but what about the rest? This is the part I'm confused about when the old man was talking about his family tree(or something) the camera focused on a buncha pictures BUT 2 of them had Optimus and ironhide in they're 07 robot look but I thought they arrived after sam graduated from jc and had their prototype forms? So how the heck did they get into their 07 robot look AND arrive to earth before they met Sam???!!?!! Trans if u see this comment can u try to make a video about this?(not forcing, just a request, also if I said anything wrong tell me in the comments it's because the 07 movie was a long time ago and I'm too lazy to watch it on Netflix since I knew I was going to see jazz die again :///)
I’ve always wonder about Barricade voice in the first one it will deep in the third one was deep and in the last one it was normal like a normal voice thx for this video keep it up
Me: Barricade's voice sounds like he is going to r@pe Bumblebee. Bee: that's not funny! Bee: it was a joke, right?! Barricade: not really. Bee: *starts screaming.*
I remember when seeing the voice reel from the first movie when they got to barricade they played the one in the film and one with out the filter and he sounds exactly like how he does in tlk i guess he always sound like that he just puts a filter on his voice.

Pick as many as you want, or you just take one it's ok 😁
That's a good theory!
20 is no and 1 is yes
Great video as always. I have my own theory as to why in the last knight Barricades voice switches from the one he has when he meets with Megatron to the almost demonic sounding one.
My theory is that Berserker was supposed to have a longer and more prominent role in the film. In promotional material for the movie and with toys etc. Berserker received more attention and had more toys than Mohawk, Onslaught, Dreadbot and even Nitro Zeus who all had more screen time than him. This leads me to believe that Berserker would have originally been set free along with other decepticons and would have been present when Megs and co. used the staff at stonehenge.
It makes sense for Berserkers lines to have already been recorded. And since Hound and Nitro Zeus have issues with them having alternate lines in different scenes of the film in different versions of the film as a result of poor editing; it makes sense for Berserkers lines to have been kept in the movie as well.
When "Barricade" talks at stonehenge what he's saying seems more like what the maniacal, crazed, ultraviolent Berserker would say as opposed to Barricade. "I've lived to kill a planet" matches well with "I'll suck your brains". If you listen to Berserkers voice in the movie it sounds similar to "Barricades voice" at Stonehenge. Slightly different I admit, but this is just like Megatrons speaking voice in the film. It sounds a little different when the voice is raised/shouting and it loses some of its deepness when raised/shouting and Berserkers one line is him shouting. So it makes sense for Berserkers voice to be deeper like Megs when he is talking normally and not shouting.
Additionally, in the scene at stonehenge where Barricade supposedly talks you never clearly see Barricade move his mouth. Before watching this video I actually thought it was Megatron who spoke, but I couldn't understand why his voice changed. SO that's my theory. And I think it makes sense.
Yep I agree with your theory on the voice change
I agree that they made the voices to be more humaniod cuz I really didn't understand what was they're saying when they still have an robotic voice.
This man started my interest in transformers and I am so grateful

I got a good question. Where did Optimus's hooks come from in Revenge of the fallen and where did they go?
I genuinely like baricades dotm design and LOVE his LK design

I just re-watched transformers 2007 and I have to admit, barricade is one the coolest transformers ever.
Barricade:were going home boys Micheal bay:no your gonna die for explosions
My theory is that the way he talks on 07 is his interrogation voice and what he sounds like in tlk is his normal voice
I think the second scene from the Last Knight was actually still Jesse Harnell (sorry if I spelled it wrong) and I always took it as the voice actor trying to make Barricade sound excited that cybertron was getting reborn.
It sounds almost exactly like Frank's version
I am Venezuelan and that is why I do not speak English well (I use a translator), but from what I understood, they wanted to humanize the voices more and that is why they sound different. I thought the differences were due to (constantly) improving the microphones and not because they were changed on purpose. Good video and I think a channel in Spanish would be great; on the other hand can you explain why Sideswipe has different voices per film?
barricade thought it was cool to imitate soundwave's voice, and then he lost 2 eyes and a leg that day
Love the channel keep up the good work
Hearing “nar-y-ation” and “nary-ator” hurts me a lot.
I'm glad our friend came back
He deserved more and cooler screem time
Do you think Megatron is the Same way since he had two voices?
He had a different voice because of Galvatron lol
hey theories, what happened to the video about transformers about them becoming more humanoid?
I feel like he just had his cybotronian voice and in the last knight since he was revived and or took a new form,his voice changed
can’t wait for the hot rod one
this theorie is Amazing and love the channel
Thx
If you ask me, while I liked Harnell's Barricade Voice, I prefer The Keith David Voice he had in The Transformers 2007 Game. If I made these Films (or maybe someday do a Reboot of a Transformers Film,) I would absolutely use Keith David for Barricade.
What a great video! Hope you reach 200k
Do you think you could do a video about misconceptions on the Autobot-Decepticon Civil War in the Bayverse? Mainly it’s confusing because of Optimus saying they were fighting over the AllSpark when Megatron betrayed him and everything all the Primes war explained in Revenge of the Fallen
i actually like the first voice, its so nostalgic.
Great video as always. I learned a lot of new things from this.
ArE yOu LaDiEsMaN217!?!?
you'r my favorite youtuber of all time! you'r so cool
frank welker voiced shockwave in dotm, along with voicing blades, chromedome, rumble, frenzy, galvatron, groove, scrapheap, mirage, mixmaster, ravage, skywarp, sludge, soundwave, trailbreaker, and wheelie in transformers g1
frank welker voiced megatron and soundwave in transformers prime
This is easily one of the best videos made. Thank you for addressing this.
love it how you address the decepticons "the boys".
I would love you to cover some sort of theory on chromia in ROTF she did not get shot. If not it’s fine. Or what if I survived Arcee sisters?
Here's an idea: Why did Optimus become more psycho as the films progressed?
I frocking love these videos 👍👍
Bumblebee is another example for his voice sounds different in 2007 and in the last night
2007 may have not been his voice, and tlk voiced sucked
Hey Trans rate all the bayformers movies 0/10.
For me:
AOE 4/10
TF1 7/10
DOTM 9/10
TLK 10/10
ROTF 11/10
Did he said Darwin fuser lagy nam 2187
How was in transformers last knight we get to see a portrait of iron hide and prime... How is that, they arrive in 2007. They look alike cause iron hide has cannons and Optimus hs his formed in 2007 can you explain this
How about this theory??
How did lennox's team survive blackout's shockwave blast??
This is great, I can’t help but feel like he’s speaking like he only just got his script
Frank also voiced megatron in the G1 show bit in the 1986 movie to add something Orson Welles voiced unicron
I'm not sure if ur going to see this trans but I'll talk anyways... So basically I want u to do a video about when did bumblebee and the other transformers arrive to earth?(bad Grammer there lol)now for those of you who is seeing this comment u may be thinking bruh what is this guy thinking he came after Sam finished jc and the others arrived a few minutes after that well no because in tlk the WW2 flashback scene bumblebee is there so the bumblebee case is closed we know he and hotrod came to earth during WW2. but what about the rest? This is the part I'm confused about when the old man was talking about his family tree(or something) the camera focused on a buncha pictures BUT 2 of them had Optimus and ironhide in they're 07 robot look but I thought they arrived after sam graduated from jc and had their prototype forms? So how the heck did they get into their 07 robot look AND arrive to earth before they met Sam???!!?!! Trans if u see this comment can u try to make a video about this?(not forcing, just a request, also if I said anything wrong tell me in the comments it's because the 07 movie was a long time ago and I'm too lazy to watch it on Netflix since I knew I was going to see jazz die again :///)
Nice u got 100k subscribe
Next year I think u will get 1,000,000
And 10,000,000 subscriber
Babe wake up, trans theories just posted!
One of these days, they gotta give Barricade a more prominent role. I love him so much, one of my top 5 Cons
bro made the best possible ad for nord vpn
I’ve always wonder about Barricade voice in the first one it will deep in the third one was deep and in the last one it was normal like a normal voice thx for this video keep it up
Tf3 Barricade sounds like megaton choking on a frog lol
Wow a protoform was going to kill a fan favorite thank God that never happened sorry wheeljack
Why are you saying "narriator"? "Narryator"? You know its "narrator", right?
Oh god don't tell me this guy has been using AI voices the whole time...
Great content keep it up
Trans your devastator misconteption vid has 1m VIEWS CONGRATSS
Thanks my man
Tbh I liked the "robotic" voices better🙂
Me: Barricade's voice sounds like he is going to r@pe Bumblebee.
Bee: that's not funny!
Bee: it was a joke, right?!
Barricade: not really.
Bee: *starts screaming.*
Wheeljack that was q who got killed,and mirage wasnt even shown until tise of the beast
Great theory bro
I am not going to be able to watch it now, but tomorrow I will :) edit: I've watched it, nice video Trans!
Barricade and Blackout are my favorites
Holy shit dude. NARE-ROAR-RAY-SHUN not NARE-E-A-SHUN
I like how you start speaking more robotic after talking about bay wanting more human voices
I like last knight voice because it's understand better
I didnt think of his voice that much
Trans i have a theory for you in tf prime how did unicron make a organic planet with organic beings if he is not organic
I remember when seeing the voice reel from the first movie when they got to barricade they played the one in the film and one with out the filter and he sounds exactly like how he does in tlk i guess he always sound like that he just puts a filter on his voice.
@9:38 it wasn’t the same voice actor? Wow I didn’t know that because they sound the same for nitro Zeus.
