An image has been posted by DotmToys on the /toy/ board of 4Chan (NSFW) of what could well be the new villain of Transformers Dark of the Moon, Shockwave. As you can see from the image, it’s a very purple Cybertronian looking tank, similar in style to Megatron’s own tank mode in Revenge of the Fallen. Check out the image by clicking on the thumbnail to the left.*

Agree

I still say the Fallen deseves a Leader Class him and Bonecrusher I mean face it how is he supposed to kick Prime's butt?
In any case leader Shockwave meh I it depends on how big he is in the movie. But I think the voyager will work.
Optimus Prime
Who knows? The Fallen was the main villain in RotF and never got a Leader. Granted, he wasn't a true Transformer so his alt. mode would have sucked so maybe they decided not to waste their time. If Shockwave actually uses his alt. mode in the movie maybe we'll get a Leader version.

Since Shockwave will be the main villain in DOTM, any chance we will see a Leader class version of him along with his Voyager class version?

O_O
I wonder if that's where the idea came from???

Peaugh,
Does the HA copter in gun mode weigh down Shockwave's arms? Also does the gun fit on Megatron? That would be beast.
I'm getting a WFC vibe now from DOTM, with all these swappable weapons.
Rogzilla
Actually, I meant in terms of Mechtech intergration. Megatron's cannon transforms from his trailer/tank.
Foster
I can't speak for him, but I'm about three times more likely to buy Shockwave over Megatron. I hope to see a less stocky-proportioned leader class Shockwave first though.
Rogzilla
What about Megatron?

Shockwave seems to be the only guy who's mech tech gun works with the figure. I think He will be my #1 figure from DOTM.
Suchus Prime
I am loved dotm before but now knowing that they have these figures too combine with, I am now married too dotm.

I feel DOTM is going to be an orgy of weapons.
Fort Max
Awesome, giant minicons.
Peaugh
Yeah. The mech tech port flips out on the bottom. It's too big for any of the bot modes for deluxe/voyager, but mounts okay to most in vehicle mode. It would make a great shoulder mounted launcher for a leader class or bigger figure though.
Fort Max
Neat, is the buggy's weapon mode the same thing we saw in the pack of marketing pictures a while back? Pic attached for reference.
Batman
Man this dude is bad ass.

I am looking forward to having this figure. It looks pretty good!
Peaugh
I'm not entirely sure that the exomode and targetmaster modes aren't the same thing.
