Lack of money for voice actors.

 

 

I'm not kidding there. That's the reason they gave for why the other Dinobots are not talking.

I doubt it's that, since they have to pay someone to voice his aide, you could cut the aide character all together and pay someone to voice the mayor instead. No one would miss the aide, so it's got to be a stylistic decision of some kind.

 

It's probably because the mayor's

a robot.

:run

 

Also, Snarl and Swoop are so much cooler because they do not speak.

No, I think you'll find the Mayor is

a cyborg, while his aide is a robot. How else do you explain that almost telepathic link?

 

:P

Everybody on Detroit Metropolis are ROBOTS IN DISGUISE! OMG OMG OMG!

A witch made him mute. ;)

 

$10 says that the aide's name is Marissa Fairborne

The aide is the REAL mayor; the little old guy is just a decoy to foil any would-be assassins.

Actually, it could be to lack of money. TFA staff mentioned that 1 voice actor can do up to 3 voices in a particular show without paying them extra. If they do more than that then they have to be paid more. They have voice actor for BA and voice actor for Sari. So unless those 2 female voice actors did/doing other voices, I believe they each have room for more voices. While male voices may be spread too thin already.

If that were the issue, they'd make the mayor a woman. I think they're doing it for a reason beyond budget...even if someone on the show just "thinks it's cool", it's probably something other than money.
