Important difference between Shockwave and the Fallen: it has come to light that, unlike the Fallen, Shockwave is not the main bad guy. I think to make him such would be to overstate his place in the TF universe. So given that he doesn't get the "big new baddie" treatment, it wouldn't be as jarring as it was in the case of the Fallen, seeing him get taken out without much difficulty. That being said, he probably won't get the respect he deserves. It's not always practical with the price tag of a single frame of rendering on these movies and/or the time constraints of finishing them. That was kind of what screwed the Fallen.
1. Leadfoot, I LOVE the sig. 2. Chances are he won't be as great as we originally thought, but I bet he winds up being pretty cool.
Well... Spoiler We know he is in two battles for sure and he possibly gains the uppper hand in the first, in Russia, but is forced to withdraw. I like the fact they made the Driller his "pet" definitely enhances his coolness factor for me, I just hope Bay doesn't make him a whimp without it .
My only concern is I hope Shockwave WILL transform to his Alt. Mode. For example in RoTF, Soundwave and the Fallen were both big characters that didn't transform at all. Minor characters like the Devastator combiners didn't transform to thier own individual robot modes. So that's my only issue. I really want Shockwave to transform into that cybertron tank mode we have with the toy...
He attacks the Optimus with driller and reatreats in about 5 seconds, then later is attacked by optimus and has his eye ripped out and is cut in half.
I expect shockwave to die because bay has a thing for killing off awesome characters (blackout, jazz, demolishor, bonecrusher etc) and if he doesn't die then I'll be surprised with joy
I think it'll be the same hyped-disappointment like Devastator and the Fallen. I'm sure Starscream, Megatron, Soundwave will shine above him.
The fact that optimus was afraid of him and only beat him because a parachute covered his eye doesnt exactly scream "im weak"
Ya, I think Shockwave will be like the fallen..... ,out of all the deaths that will be the best in this movie will probably be Starscream's( if he dies) watch!
Yeah, I agree. Can this guy now have all of his posts erased and his ass banned! Fuking ignorant pricks man, I hate them.
What did you guys expect coming into a spoiler'd thread about Shockwave's death. Of course its going to be chock full of spoilers. Don't want spoilers stay out of the movie forum to DOTM releases.
There was nothing in the thread that depicted any sort of spoiler, people were just voicing their opinions about how Shockwave will be featured. And, everyone up to this asshole who did use a possible spoiler, actually hid it in spoiler tags. The jerk should have used spoilers or not write anything at all.
Almost as cool as when I realized Uncle Phil did the voice for The Shredder in the 87 Ninja Turtles cartoon!!!!! It's weird, my other favorite show when I was little was Rainbow Brite. I read somewhere that Peter Cullen, a.k.a Optimus Prime, did the voice for the main villain on there.
