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.

I’m still glad we got to see Barricade again even if he wasn’t meant to be in the dark of the moon 👍👍👍

When you said “he and the boys had a chance to go back” I was laughing a bit more than I should’ve lol

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. 👏👏👏

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

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 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

I love when he said "He and the bois would go to a restored cybertron"

Hearing the Decepticons being referred to as "The Boys" is just... *_so_* perfect.

"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.

I personally liked the first movie voices, they sound more other-worldly and distant which the producers and design team were going for.

You should talk about the early script for Transformers Revenge of the Fallen, that was ultimately scrapped and got what we got at the end

I actually never noticed that Barricade had different voice actors

12:10 "he and the bois" is the best line bro (LOL)

Even if his voices change is still my fav decepticon

I feel like since they weren’t planning anymore movies they tied up that loose end by adding him in last second

4:53 Just noticed one of Megatron's wheels clipping into the base of the statue.

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.

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!

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.

8:44 Finally. I wanted an explanation for this for a long time. Could you do a complete comparison of different dialogue in the same scenes?

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.

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 love this, it’s clear you thought hard on this, as always well done 👍

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?

Wished Barricade has his original head on his TLK body

This is easily one of the best videos made. Thank you for addressing this.

I have a 5 pack of DVDs of 2007 to TLK, and in my version of TLK, Hound goes, "I shouldn't have eaten all that Taiwan Street machinery"

Great video as always. I learned a lot of new things from this.

I'm glad that you talked about this, another great video Trans!

Bro I gotta say, That channel intro is in top 5 intros I've ever seen

This man started my interest in transformers and I am so grateful

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

I’ve been waiting for this

Love the channel keep up the good work

Great video!

i actually like the first voice, its so nostalgic.

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 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.

Awesome video trans !

What a great video! Hope you reach 200k

Wish they keep those Machine type vocal cords cuz starscream was such a bad con with that voice in the first film compare to soundwave

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?

Wow you make a lot of videos and they get tons of likes never stop making these video man and keep up the good work!

I just re-watched transformers 2007 and I have to admit, barricade is one the coolest transformers ever.

Nice theory. Would love to see him return to the reboot since he’s one of the more popular ones to appear in the Bayformers

Man never thought about this great vid man

Great content keep it up

Soundwave should have been in Transformers 2007. His voice would have been perfect!

I'm glad our friend came back He deserved more and cooler screem time

you'r my favorite youtuber of all time! you'r so cool

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 😁

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

Love the vids

I frocking love these videos 👍👍

Great theory bro

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

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?

IM NOT THE ONLY ONE THAT NOTICED LINE CHANGES IN THE LAST KNIGHT I KNEW IT!!!!!!! Thank you for providing that. I knew I was trippin

WOOOO HES BACK

I am not going to be able to watch it now, but tomorrow I will :) edit: I've watched it, nice video Trans!

About a video on jolt, what i belive happend to jolt was que on his arrival on earth gave him and two others a wepon upgrade making him one of the wreakers, the way he found his vehical mode was when he was returning to nest from the piramids as he passed a nas car race scanning one of the cars to be his vehical mode. After this he met up with 2 of his close frends leadfoot and roadbuster and began to work on the ship as he had the power the weld and power certain parts to the ship. Que saw this and desided to give them the upgrade as they agreed but que staited that it might change there attitudes. Then as we never heard his voice, it could have been changed or it might have sounded like that all allong. Thats what i think happend to jolt. Could you please make a video talking about my theorie. Also i love you vids keep up the good work.

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.

Sup my dude. Great vid as always. I have an idea you might like. What if you made a series were the Bay-verse would be matched up with other universes. An example could be transformers vs. Halo. Sounds ridiculous and bizarre but its just and idea.

I got a good question. Where did Optimus's hooks come from in Revenge of the fallen and where did they go?

hey theories, what happened to the video about transformers about them becoming more humanoid?

Barricade is probably my favorite in tf5 but great vid trans

can’t wait for the hot rod one

Yep I agree with your theory on the voice change

A other great job Trans!🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘👏👏👏🔥🔥🔥🔥 Keep it going Trans 👑👑👑👆👆👆👆👆😎😎😎😎

I thought megatron said in tlk " I lived for this " but now I know it's barricade so thank you trans

3:13 It's pretty funny that he mentions that Barricade never appeared in any adaptation because Barricade actually appeared in the idw comic adaptation only briefly though. It just shows him and Starscream handling iron materials or one of the pillars. It probably show none of the people working on the comic didn't know about the last minute changes to the movie aka adding Barricade last minute. Anyway, Great Video!

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.

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?

It’s always a good day when trans Theories posts

Actually the dvd release is different from the theatrical release. My one does not have the alternate voices and dialogue and is missing some lines such as "nemesis you traitor " now being just "you traitor "

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

love it how you address the decepticons "the boys".

Yay!! the master of Transformers is back!

Hey he mentioned my fav decepticon Soundwave

6:17, I think they should've Contacted Keith David, Barricade's Game actor

My pov on the issue, his fight with bumblebee in tf1 left his voice box damaged, his voice was changed while being repaired. Then after his series injuries in dotm resulted him in scanning a new vehicle which gives him his new body and voice for tlk. But that’s just my own timeline theorie

Bumblebee is another example for his voice sounds different in 2007 and in the last night

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

Do you think Megatron is the Same way since he had two voices?

barricade thought it was cool to imitate soundwave's voice, and then he lost 2 eyes and a leg that day

This is great, I can’t help but feel like he’s speaking like he only just got his script

Nice u got 100k subscribe Next year I think u will get 1,000,000 And 10,000,000 subscriber

12:10 “he and the boys” that was funny to me

Trans your devastator misconteption vid has 1m VIEWS CONGRATSS

No one gonna notice that megatrons both tire feet was glitching into the chair

I genuinely like baricades dotm design and LOVE his LK design

Hey Trans, might do a video about transformers eyes misconception? It may not be a good idea, but just asking

Trans Theories never gets old :)

Barricade was one of my favorites

Finaly i watch this after the barricade misconception

I like how you start speaking more robotic after talking about bay wanting more human voices

Trans i have a question?, can transformers scan a car or any form from another transformer (for example if bumblebee have a camaro then can drift copy his???)

Barricade:were going home boys Micheal bay:no your gonna die for explosions
