I have never heard the non-enhanced version of Orson Wells’ voice for Unicron. It is incredible to hear how much effort he put into the VO work despite being drunk and not caring. However, the god-like bass in the enhanced film version is much better. It is a different take than the original voice.
When the studio was making Transformers: The Movie, they hired Wells to voice the god-like Unicron. However, Wells was very sick and at death’s door. His voice would never be how it was in his prime (pun intended). So, they pitched his voice down and added bass to it.
This YTer pitched and changed the voice to its original sound, which sounds like Wells’ original recording.
Side Note: Scatman Crothers, the voice of Jazz, would die a few months after the release of the movie. It is strange because Jazz, a season one character, was one of the few of the old Autobots to survive the film. His character was supposed to play a minor role in season 3 like Bumblebee.
