I Had to leave the computer for a minute when I was typing that, so this should have been predictable.

I would like to point out there is a 40-minute difference between your post and his.

You know, this site USED to have a feature that would have prevented this. If you hit "Submit" but something was posted while you were writing it up, it would keep you on the post screen and show you.

Well, like I said, I had to leave the computer mid sentence.

Well now that we've filled another page discussing who BeastProwl was quoting, how about some Transformers?

I know Sabrblade said that he recalled from Botcon that Shockwave looked like his FOC design, but obviously that's not the case. I'm not faulting you for that, mind you, I understand it was a brief glimpse and you weren't allowed to record or photograph it. But now I'm sad, because I had stuck FOC Shockwave on my Prime shelf in anticipation of his appearance in Prime. Now that doesn't work, because aside from having a fairly different appearance, he's MUCH bigger than Starscream, while even the deluxe FE Starscream towers over Shockwave, due to his slenderness and all of Shocky's mass going into his gun. So I really want Prime Shockwave to become a mainstay, or at least a recurring character, so that Hasbro will be persuaded to make a toy of him.

You could still put him on there and use your imagination, but otherwise, I do hope for a Voyager Shockwave.

Put him with the Cyberverse guys. Sure, he's not that much taller than them, but hey, the bigger the scarier. :twisted:

Wait, that's actually not a bad idea.

That works way better than it should.

But then you got him towering over Arcee and Cliffjumper, but, again, makes him more imposing by comparison.

I used to have a maverick just like that one! Good gun.
Also, that works amazingly.

by **DarkEnergon** » Sat Sep 01, 2012 9:09 pm

Shockwave! This is the coolest-looking shockwave yet! And his gun, with its cool sound, and the cord! And the "illogical" ! He really is Shockwave!

This is how you homage a G1 character - not like what they did to wheeljack. Thank god they remembered what we loved about G1 was the personalities/characters, not just the toys.

I'm upset that again Starscream is a total clown. And why didn't Arcee and Cliffjumper they kill him? The autobots really need to learn to start finishing these decepticons, don't you think?

And... is this not the first time Soundwave has spoken????

Soundwave just did a playback of what Starscream said, didn't he? If that's what you're talking about, he's done that before. Unless he said something else I missed (I blame being distracted by Shockwave haha)

He didn't speak. He just played back Starscream's own words.

A couple of G1 characters had numbers on the car such as Jazz, Mirage and others dont remember most been sometime since I watched my G1 Rhino Sets.

Bulkhead fate is unknown if it was me I would have pulled the plug than to leave him that condition, but that is how Optims and Ratchet work they wanna save them no matter what.

On Red Energon I think it works diffrent if you notice each has its own abilites.

Normal Energon (Blue) - Medicine
Dark Energon (Purple) - Life Blood of Unicron also brings the Dead to Life AKA Terracons also brought Nemesis online which I say he will be back at somepoint on Prime.

Tox-En (Green) - Poision Toxic effect to Transformers
Red Energon - My guess is a Power Amplifier it increases the abilities makes them stronger and faster sort of like how a Minicon increases powers. Unknown what the name of Red will be.

Miko is getting fleshed out better but I wanan see Jack & Rafeal get more on screen time Jack hasnt been in S2 much.

Also Soundwave has never physically spoken he uses Playback Recordings, His Face, and Lazerbeak to Communicate with. While Lazerbeak is sort of for Reconisance.

Shockwave did Speak.

You could still look at a picture online instead of watching your DVDs.

Though, Smokescreen wore a 38, which this newcomer also wears.

Synthetic Energon is also green.

Lies. He survived. That's far from unknown.

And ammo, blood, fuel. Not just medicine.

You're right. His major roles this season are:

Orion Pax Parts 1, 2, and 3.
Flying Mind
Tunnel Vision
Legacy (To be aired)

6/26 episodes (so far), although he's appeared in more. It's just that there's not much to do with Jack at this time, considering how they're turning the events and characteristics of Miko.

He's just playing back a recording of Starscream from just a few lines previous with a bit of reverb. Using his own words against him. He does that occasionally.

When it comes to Soundwave he uses his Face which also works as a Signal Locator or Analazyer the Signal Deal was ues before then he Took Pictures also of the kids. Soundwave dosent speak physically then again he dosent need to he works fine as is in my opinion.

Man my Rhino G1 sets are old as I got these back at FYE these are the original ones not the re-released Shout Factory deal currently out as Rhino is now Shout same people I think or they bought them out.

Sucks on Jack he needs more time on screen but if you remember on Miko they did state that she would be getting more on Screen time. Also you mis-understood me on Bulkhead I meant his Contidtion which is sort of Paralyzed in Human Terms so I would pull the plug instead of leaving him in that condition.

He's not paralyzed. He's healing much faster than we expected.

Paralyzed means you can't move, and I saw him moving this episode. Also, "pull the plug" means you let them die due to being in an irreversible state, like a coma, or late-stage terminal illness, basically whenever death is already assured.

Enjoyed that episode. Shockwave was awesome! I hope he gets to become a regular character!

Its been a while since i watched the 1st few episodes but The guy doing Cliff's voice sounded nothing like the Rock imo. In fact he just seemed.......uninterested. It was the only negative part of the episode for me.

I for one am glad to see Bulkhead up and about and healing. I never wanted him to die. Bumblebee however.................

So Smokescreen next week then...............interesting!

I've clearly missed something somewhere. Where has all this talk of Smokescreen come from?

It's just speculation at the moment. The Hub aired a promo that included previous scenes from earlier in the season along with some new ones. One of the new ones is of the new Autobot (quick glimpse, but a still shot taken of the promo shows off some detail that has most fans thinking Smokescreen). Luckily we find out this Friday!
