I read this over at wikipedia:

 

Some leaked information indicates that he may not have a vocal role in the film, having had his vocal systems ripped out, and may communicate through his car radio.

 

Is there any verification to this. It upsets me some that he won't have a speaking role possibly in any of the movies. Why not.

i don't know but it sucks, it would have been so awesome having a human transformer close friendship.

 

it might mean that he will have a spoken role but it can only be heard through his car radio

This has been reported before.

 

I imagine that his vocal limitations will be used in the first movie to add drama and conflict to Spike's(Sam's), and therefore the audience's, discovery of the Transformers.

 

I don't think "vocal systems ripped out" equals never speaking in any movie. We may hear him speak before the injury, or at the end after a repair.

This news doesn't mean we won't.

hence the second part of my post, i just meant i don't want something like the love bug :P besides bumblebee might get his voice once he gets reformatted

Well, he didn't speak in the leaked script except through the car radio, so I suppose that serves as verification.

I think his actions in the story, how he moves and interacts with Sam (either snippets of songs and or body language)

 

will give him a great character, you don't need to speak to have personality.

jeebus I need to stop clicking threads around here. SPOILER TAGS ARE NICE SOMETIMEZ KTHX

Look on the bright side, at least he won't say Blot like, "DO A BARREL ROLL!"

Also, as someone already pointed out, the irony of having a medic bot that can't do repairs :roll

do autobots even have different functions, anymore? i was under the impression that they were all loyal little soldiers that could shoot things and that was it.
