how about a Mi-24 hind gunship it would be totally awsome. yes i know that skyhammer is a hind/hind varient but you can't have enough hinds in my opinion
its pretty much confirmed that he doesnt have an earth mode, but i would love to see him as brawl's tank mode but purple P
It would be illogical for him to lower himself to taking a human-designed alt-mode. That, and the toy's a Cybertronian war machine.
Shockwave has always given off a kind of creepy vibe to me, from his singular eye, to his spindly form in Animated. He's just spooky. And what spookier alt-mode is there, than the Mitsuoka Orochi. It fits with previous automobile Decepticons in being a high-end vehicle, and it is certainly a unique car, and it's been used in Transformers before. I imagined movie Shockwave would be kind of spindly, but when the toy was revealed, that got turned on it's head. The Mitsuoka Orochi unfolding into a weird-ass spindly robot like Prime Starscream would be hella scary.
A half eaten burrito is the only logical choice. With all the dyed tortilla chips these days a purple, discarded burrito would be perfect for spying and not totally out of place.
Given that we didn't see any Earth mode for him at Toy Fair I've got the feeling that he doesn't have an Earth mode in the movie. If we ever get an Earth mode Shockwave I'm guessing it will have to come from either a Classic style line or Transformers Prime since movie characters only seem to get a change of alt modes when the on screen character gets an alt mode change.
You know whats interesting? Shockwave is the only decepticon that has cybertronian mode we have seen so far megatron - earth starscream - earth soundwave - possibly earth im going to go say it right now Shockwave is the leader in DOTM
