The Transformers hype is on the rise again, mainly because we all know that the much-anticipated sequel to the first live-action Transformers movie is currently being filmed and will be out next year. This is why it’s Transformers voice changer helmets are becoming pretty popular – if they aren’t popular already.
For those of you who aren’t quite fans of the franchise, “Transformers” was a line of toys that was promoted through several animated series featuring the toys. The animated series proved to be a major hit, and soon it spawned many incarnations, spin-offs, new characters, and the like. While it never truly died among fans, the Transformers craze was injected with new blood recently when the live action movie incarnation became a box office hit. The concept of the Transformers, “robots in disguise” as an assortment of mundane objects capture the imagination of people until this day.
Transformers voice changer helmets allow you to be your favorite Transformers character, whether it’s one of the good guys (the Autobots) or the bad guys (the Decepticons). Channel Optimus Prime at a costume party! Be Starscream at a Halloween event! Sound like them, look like them, be like them! Be a mechanical bastion of good or a cybernetic herald of evil!
This section of the site is currently under the process of construction. Please bear with us.
There are, in fact, many helmets, masks and voice changers out there (novelty or otherwise) that you are interested in buying, especially now that Halloween in right around the corner, but which ones will be worth your money? Well, there’s no need for you to worry. Here, we will provide you with reviews of many different novelty voice changer, mask and helmet merchandise to help you make your decision.
Are the masks sturdy and easy to wear? Can you breathe in them? What about the voice changers? Are they prone to malfunction? Do they make you sound the way you want to sound? For the novelty voice changer helmets: how accurate are they? And for all of these: is the money you’re going to shell out for them actually worth the asking price? We give you answers to all these and more in the reviews section of the site.
At the moment, we don’t have any reviews put up here yet, but we hope to fill it up soon. And for this, we ask your help. If you happen to have a voice changer helmet, or a voice changer product, please send us your comments and some photographs so that we may put them up here. Other than that, please check back often for updates.
Voice changers, in case you haven’t tried one yet, can be a whole lot of fun, especially when you’re dressing up for a costume party or pranking people without actually getting caught. While some people are content with simply having their voice changed (often, this would mean a bit of scrambling that would make them sound metallic or robotic), there are more complex voice changers that change your voice from male to female (and vice versa) or enhance certain aspects of the voice. Novelty voice changers make you sound like the character of your choice (like Darth Vader, or Superman)
At the moment, there are only three types of voice changers: there are the stand-alone devices, the telephone attachments, and the softwares. The stand-alone devices are essentially separate from any device (or if it’s attached, it’s attached to a microphone). Meanwhile, telephone attachments are pretty much integrated into or attached to the handset of your telephone, allowing you to change your voice when speaking into it. Lastly, voice changer software are installed in a computer where it can manipulate the sound of a recorded voice – these are very popular, especially among people who like doing novelty answering machine recordings.
Voice changing devices are cheaper than voice changer software, but we assure you that either way you go will be fun.
You want to look like you can totally own the galaxy and overcome the ways of the Force? Then perhaps you’d like to have a Darth Vader Mask!
We all recognize Darth Vader, formerly known as Jedi prodigy Anakin Skywalker, as one of the most bad-ass fallen messiahs of modern mythos. A combination of talent, pride, ambition and a thirst for vengeance has led this man to become a creature more machine than man, a creature that is the pride of the Force’s Dark Side, and one of the most tragic characters of the modern/post-modern age. As Darth Vader, Anakin Skywalker joined the pantheon of imposing icons of villainy, his features and the trademark sound of his labored breathing (aided only by his helmet and the multitude of mechanical enhancements attached to his body in the wake of severe injury) proved unforgettable.
While we used to have to make do with simply making impressions of Darth Vader before, newer Darth Vader masks have now given us the chance to sound exactly like Darth Vader did – from the muffled helmet sound to the mechanical inhale-exhale nuances, we can now easily impersonate Darth Vader with the help of the new Darth Vader mask. Rule the Galaxy! Lead everyone to the Dark Side of the Force!
Watching Dr. Who from behind the sofa, was in fact the fault of the Daleks. This intelligent race of aliens have succeeded in frightening us with persistent quest for universal domination and the lack of any organic emotion, save for hatred. They have no qualms about killing anyone who isn’t a Dalek. Even creatures that are part-Dalek are not safe from the Daleks. In fact, the Daleks have basically shed all that is natural about them; they mobilize themselves using mechanical casings that double as efficient weapons systems. Couple this with the chillingly electronic and manic staccato cry “Ex-ter-mi-nate”, and you have the stuff of nightmares.
Now, you can harness the kind of fear inspired by the Daleks, simply by putting on a Dalek voice changer helmet. Look like a Dalek! Sound like a Dalek! Speak like a Dalek! Give everyone else the shivers! Put this helmet on and press the voice changer button and you can scare even some of the bravest souls! Throat a little sore? You can press other buttons for sound effects and genuine Dalek catchphrases! This is an ideal item for Halloween, or for a potential Dalek invasion (hey, you can’t rule that out) in which case you can pretend to be one of them!
