How do the kids say it nowadays? He's teh smexy beast! Seriously though, that is one hell of a design and makes Shockwave look more like a true threat than the Fallen or even Megatron ever did. Time to go change the pants...
I think that's absolutely fucking hideous... ...and not in a good way. I really dislike these 'organic' protoforms. I can't help but feel that the concept artists drew themselves into a corner in the first film with a bunch of barely seen designs that they now have to reproduce in every Transformer that doesn't wish to take on an Earth mode. I'm glad they went with the head (wouldn't remotely resemble Shockwave without it) but the rest of the body seems very much at odds with it. Looks very like D'compose from the awful Marvel comic strip 'The Inhumanoids'. Bland, bland, BLAND!

Looks very good, and even if hes not purple, I dont mind. Hes close enough to his G1 self that I cant complain. Hes very recognizable as Shockwave. Thumbs up from me
I'm loving the pic, and I really hope that they do recreate that famous Marvel Comics cover for a teaser trailer.
