Radio shock jock Howard Stern was asked to lend his voice to the upcoming "Transformers" movie but had to turn it down at his agent's request.

In one scene Soundwave, a robot who takes the form of small consumer electronic devices, will appear as a radio which was supposed to briefly sprout Stern's voice.

According to Stern on his Monday radio show, he was contacted a week ago in a letter asking him to be in it, but "My agent gets a hold of me. It's almost like he shakes me up and smacks me. I said to him: This movie, The Transformers, it could be a really big movie. And he goes 'So, it won't be because of you, because your f'n voice is on the radio. I thought it might be kinda cool but my agent said 'you don't want to be in the movie as an f'n voice on the radio. And I said, you know, you're right."

Meanwhile some pretty spectacular but brief clips from the film aired during the MTV Movie Awards on Sunday and can be seen at MichaelBay.Com.

Ugh..Thank God he wasn't in the movie, but I hate the fact that I will be seeing Soundwave as a crappy small audio device.

It's Frenzy.... The change was made long, long ago.

Read the article. This just broke today. He was contacted LAST WEEK to voice Soundwave.

It was made known long ago that the character intended to be Soundwave was changed to Frenzy because of characterization issues. Soundwave will not appear in this movie. Someone simply has his or her facts wrong.

Then Howard Stern must have been lying about this from just a week ago. I am aware of the Frenzy change, but this just was stated on the radio today.

Just passing along.

In the article, Stern never mentions the bot by name. It seems whomever wrote the article was just working off of some bad information. But an interesting find nonetheless. Thanks for sharing, and I'm extremely happy that Stern won't be taking part in this movie.

I personally find Stern to be nothing but annoying. As one of my older classmates once told me, he used to be dirty and funny, but now he's just dirty.

FRENZY.

Not Soundwave.

He's being saved for a sequel.

Don't be foolish into thinking it's now Soundwave in the movie.

^^^^ And, to finish my statements, the radio where Stern's voice was gonna be heard...it could be just a radio from what the Allspark does to it.

 

[cosmicherosa]

Alright word. Just chill. I know he isn't in it. I just posted it. I guess I was blinded by my hate of Howard Stern, and my lack of O&A in the morning uncensored.

*Groan*

HE WAS GOING TO BE ONE OF BUMBLEBEE'S RADIO CLIPS.

It's pretty obvious.

Who said Soundwave was being saved for a sequel?

[Nivek]

Once again... No Soundwave or Frenzy, he was going to be one of the radio samples Bumblebee uses to speak.

bay in the new yahoo video says that the small robot is frenzy.

Bay calls it Sound Byte. He says in the movie its called Frenzy. At least he thinks it does. LOL

He doesn't know for sure what the name is but it is his favorite character in the movie next to BB. LOL

 

[bunk]

Is there still a transforming iPod though?

 

[Avangarde]

I believe Orci said it...during the script-writing days, they had Soundwave in the script, and they played with it a bit, but they couldn't get the "right" look go it when they were creating him. So they just had Frenzy in it and said they will find the right look for Soundwave and put him in a sequel, either the second or third.
