Would be funny (not really) if he got all those upgrades but still no voice.

Recently we've had news about casting for Silverbolt, a CEO telling us TF3 will be more mythos rich, and today we hear that Prime and Bumblebee are to receive character model updates.
Everyone has of course denounced the treatment, as they did with the treatments of the prior two movies which incidentally turn out to be not that different to the "fake" treatments...
The script for the third film is not yet finished, but the ILM artists have been privy to important details. "There's an outline and most of the script is done," Farrar said.

The Industrial Light & Magic team is hard at work updating the robots in disguise for their third big screen adventure.
"Our two lead characters, Optimus and Bumblebee, needed to be updated for the next chapter in the Transformers series," said animation supervisor Scott Benza in an exclusive interview Sunday at the Visual Effects Society Awards in Century City, Calif., where he and visual effects supervisor Scott Farrar were nominees. "Bumblebee's matured a little bit, so I would just say look for subtle changes to his physique that have him look more mature."
Farrar suggested the changes to Prime would be of the easter-egg variety that only true fans would notice. "[Prime will have] little tiny things that maybe the average viewer isn't going to notice but probably the fanboys will," Farrar said. "You actually will run into pieces that are maybe always in the way, and wouldn't it be nice if that part wasn't there? Maybe you make a shift in the shoulder, in the chest or what have you. So it might be proportioning, but it also might be for usability, so [the animators]' task could be easier, too."
Benza added that Prime's updates would be badass. "We always want the robots to look cooler than they did the last time, so he's going to look a little more heroic, I would say," Benza said.

What if ray park is voicing bumblebee who is going to be that firebreather thing from the other story?
Ray's voice is about right for bumblebee... if you ignore those 2 lines at the end of the first movie.
Like I said, final thought...
Ray Park isn't a voice actor. In fact, his voice was dubbed over in The Phantom Menace.
Not to mention, Mark Ryan is the voice of Bumblebee and a few others.
And that firebreather car that you're talking about, has absolutely nothing to do with TFs, other than the fact that both Bumblebee and this firebreather are based off of the Camaro. There is no other tie between the two, period. And if I recall what I read a few days back, the firebreather isn't supposed to be a Camaro, but a Pontiac Firebird mockup.
And Ray Park's role? Probably a Snake Eyes kinda deal. (Hidden under a costume or excess makeup, etc.)
Ray Park's real voice can be heard in X-Men during his performance as Toad. Too much of a Cockney accent, whereas Bumblebee's was more of a Queen's English accent.
I mean, I could be misreading your post here, but I find it confusing, honestly.Megatron Wolf wrote:a permanent faceplate for prime and a real head for bumble bee?
I see absolutely nothing wrong with Prime's removable faceplate. It's sensible and it actually has a function. When I was a kid, Optimus was cool and you just didn't question cool. But, as I got older, I got to thinking, well obviously he doesn't have much of a face under there, so why does his faceplate move at all?
Well, Bay's world took care of that with this Optimus. It's a sensible change, and it looks awesome when his face plate goes up, because you know ****'s about to go down.
Face plate up, **** goes down. T3h awesome.
As for Bumblebee, I'm not sure what's wrong with his head?? Yes, his face is odd looking, but that's easily explained away by battle damage and whatnot. Or, perhaps he doesn't have a face underneath the plate, therefore it wouldn't need to move.Ultra Markus wrote:so bumblebee becomes goldbug and prime gets a trailer/battle station
I can't tell if you're being funny or serious here.
If you're being funny, great.
If you're being serious, sad. (Because the article in question never once mentions the addition of a trailer, or the conversion of Bumblebee into Goldbug.)
Or, if it's wishful thinking, don't waste your time. Not gonna happen.
Ultra Markus wrote:well it sure sounds like you have all the answers, first i never said anything about a conversion of bumblebee to something else i meant it as only a name sake and it wasn't serious
I know they won't ever have his trailer battle station and if you actually though for a second
that i was serious or it was wishful thinking then you seriously need to stop trying to read people
