I was pleasantly surprise by Laserbeak. He was one of the more interesting characters.


I agree i was very happy to see him and how he could change into a autobot without scanning anything.

I was incredibly disappointed...his whole two scenes were cool, but I really would've liked more. They could've at LEAST made the fight between him and Optimus last longer.

"OPTIMUUUUUS!!!"
Well, it sounded awesome in his voice.

Come to think of it, it kinda bugs me how both he and Megatron seem to not even try to fight back when Optimus kills them...seems very off.

Couldn't agree more i felt like meg's was drunk or something like that at the end of the movie just sitting there on the curb and then at the end of the movie he didn't even stand a chance even with a weakened one armed O.P. :BANG_HEAD:

I was disappointed with every Decepticon save for Laserbeak in this film. Shockwave, the most verbose of the Decepticons, gets one word of dialogue. Shot in head, killed. Soundwave, turns into a Mercedes, not so disappointing in his performance. Shot in head, killed. Starscream, barely seen, embarrassingly slain by humans. Head asplode, killed. Megatron is turned into a sulking, self-pitying emo hobo. Decapitated, killed.

Aside from barely being on-screen at all, all of them went down too easy, too quickly, and all from inglorious, fatal head-wounds eliminating any chance of their return in the supposed 4th installment.

I agree with most of that. i mean what other decepticons are going to be in it? all new ones! and that will take ages to do so i wont be excepting to see a TF4 for defently more than 2 years :-( . they should atleast keep starscream and shockwave :sad: . speaking of shockwave he should of defently been in it more and with more speaches rather of just saying "optimus!!!". he should of said "logic brings all things together" :lol: . i love his qoute :D .
My name is shockwavena so dont mess with me or my brothers pet worm will set you straight. I have joined sides with the Autobots because they brought me back to life. Logic brings all things togetherImage

I loved his intro into the movie too! and agree with you on the fact that I am very unhappy on the whole "you'll shoot your eye out" thing like really, these are alien robots that can transform yet a couple rounds to the eye and your done just kind of ruined it for me :(



Dude I spent 10 mins watching your sig and forgot what the thread was even about.

I just realized, there's actual footage of ShockWave FIGHTING in that Burger King commercial.
WHAT? He does more in a commercial than the movie? o_O...?
I think just elongating one or two scenes could've changed my whole perspective on the movie, I still liked it, but I prefer ROTF's drawn out awesome fight scenes to DOTM's 30 second wonders.

Honestly, I think the only Decepticons who got remotely cool deaths were the Dreads. Crankcase was the ONE Decepticon to not die instantly from a head wound, he had to get kicked and explodified first...

Hell yeah I was. He needed to at least take down some big name autobots before biting it. Just because he sucked in the movie, I play him online in the DOTM game for a bit of redemption.

I like how they portrayed Shockwave. Sure he was nothing like the G1 version, but it was wicked nonetheless.

I hated how Soundwave was portrayed! I especially disliked the voice they used for him. But really, I just don't think he looked anything like Soundwave.

That was Frank Welker doing Soundwave's voice, the orginal voice. That was the only acceptable quality of his character in these movies.
