Have you seen Avatar: The Legend of Aang? The creators specifically chose Aang to be voiced by a little kid, so the voice would grow up exactly as the character in the series did over time. Kiddy voices aren't necessarily bad things, though I get exactly where you're coming from.
Give it a chance. See if you like it or not. If you don't, rant on, brah, rant on - I can join you in many of those rants for I believe we're coming from the same kind of sentiment when it comes to voice acting.
I got recommendations to see that show multiple times by multiple people.
I heared Aang's voice on YouTube and I hate it so much, which is shame since it seems that all others have amazing voices.
Then I have nothing left to say. It seems you stand firm in your opinions towards kid voice actors. Alright, so be it. The only thing I suggest, then, is that you try to watch a couple of episodes and see if you like how the actor ages with the show - he truly does grow more and more into his role.
Personally, it only makes sense to me that a child character is voiced by a child. Apparently the little girl playing the lead character for the upcoming Dreamworks movie is voiced by Rihanna, what the fuck is that shit? Same thing with the main character from The Lorax, which sounded ten years older than he was. I understand that a squeaky voice can get on people's nerves, but Avatar makes it pretty clear to me that you really don't need an actor older than the character. Just imagine Aang voiced by a 19 year old.
In the case off MN9, I don't even think Beck will really talk, he'll just have cute little grunts and stuff. At least, if the teaser trailer is anything to go by.

Jeez OCG, you're coming up with every excuse you possibly can to project your image of Beck onto himself of how he "should" be despite knowing nothing about him. I personally like his voice, don't go about telling me that I'm wrong now. Besides, he doesn't even look like a teen, he's built like a kid.
Of course I won't tell you that you are wrong for liking it. Everyone has his own views. I just freaking despise it. Just made video and gonna upload it. Won't share it here but if anyone wants to see it, they know where to look for it.
Well, they have good reasons for making him sound like he does. Here's the synopsis for the animated series:
Half human, half robot, all Mighty
In the year 2099, humans have become dependent on robots not just for manual labor but also entertainment. The most powerful robots in the world fight in front of humans in a popular league called the Battle Colosseum.
BECK is a small combat robot made to fight in the Battle Coliseum as a part of the MIGHTY NUMBERS, the strongest robots in the world. But since Beck is the only robot in the world with a human heart, he's also the only robot that gets scared in combat. The good news is that he also possesses the ability to turn into any other robot. The bad news is that since his emotions are wired to his abilities, he often finds himself malfunctioning in battle.
One day a notorious engineer named DR. BLACKWELL releases a virus that infects every robot in the world...everyone except Beck. Dr. Blackwell remotely controls the infected Mighty Numbers to lead a rebellion to destroy mankind. Beck suddenly becomes the only robot available to stop the Mighty Numbers.
As Beck tries to save the world, he will be joined by CALL, his overly serious robotic sidekick; DR. WHITE, the young but socially inept creator of the Mighty Numbers; and DR. SANDA, the lazy but wise team leader. With each of their help, Beck will learn how to deal with his emotions and become the hero they need him to be.
So as I speculated, it's very much a growth story. Beck is going to start off silly and wimpy due to having a heart that conflicts with his programming to fight (clear throwback to Mega Man X, they are just taking it less seriously than that series). But the whole point of the story sounds like it's to turn him into a more heroic character who handles their emotions better.

I am glad you dislike TV series. It looks horrible in every way.
