    To be fair him saying logical often doesn't really bug me all that much. I can how for some people but persoanlly I don't find it annoying. Maybe it takes a lot out of me to make me REALLY get annoyed at something.

    I don’t have a problem with him dropping logical/illogical; I just ask that he makes the appropriate use of the term.

    If he didn't say it every once in a while, people would whine about it.
    Then again, I nearly vomit every time Bumblebee says "Beep, boop." How dare the writers overuse that phrase!

    Giving out some appreciation for the big one-eyed, creepy genius before the big finale. Live or die it's been awesomely tense since he's been around. :)

    In before the finale to give some love to my favorite walking purple tank. It's only logical.

    Poor Shockwave. Stuck in a pod with Starscream.

    Starscream: Are we there yet?

    Shockwave: No.

    Starscream: Are we there yet?

    Shockwave: No

    Starscream: Are we there yet

    SHockwave: >.> ............

    I really don't understand why Shockwave would go out of his way to save, more or less, Starscream. He intentionally pulled him back and made him leave. He could've just let him try to "exact his revenge" and left the ship with PLENTY of space in his pod.

    it would not have been logical to escape to cybertron alone when you can take another high decepticon official with you.

    It still seems odd. Shockwave has a lab on Cybertron and wouldn't need anyone around for him to continue his work. Starscream is kind of useless in the scientist field so he's of no use to him as of now. I don't know. Maybe I'm just looking too deep into it. Perhaps Shockwave has plans for him in the movie.

    *gasp* One of the Predacons is voiced by Steve Blum because they turned themselves into Predacons to exact their revenge?!
    *thinks*
    Nah.

    shockwave only stayed in the lab then cause he had know where else to go or do. it's still smarter to stick together than being alone.

    Starscream can fly, Shockwave can't. He took him along as a resource and tool.
    Or as a convenient meat-shield.
    Makes sense to me.
    I'm just glad he survived.

    Or maybe because he's not a complete dick? Also, Starscream was Megatron's first lieutenant, somebody valuable for the cause. If they ever plan to bring Decepticons back to their former glory they'll need someone passionate like Starscream.

    Shockwave figures he'd need another high-ranking Con to help him out with whatever shenanigans he might plan. Besides, there's safety in numbers (except for Vehicons :p )

    I love how several people got their asses handed to them by Shockwave:

    - Ratchet in the one on one fight.
    - Smokescreen when he was holding the Star Saber, meanwhile Shockwave is also restraining Ratchet and simply fires off at Smokescreen, eliminating the threat.
    - Starscream. Shockwave picked him up like it was no big deal.
