"IF", Hasbro realeases DOTM Leader megatron & shockwave,how do you want them to look like? please get all detailed,creative & go wild.

Personally I don't want straight up increased toys based off the DOTM voyager sized megatron & Shockwave. that to me would be kinda booring & one make one sized version inferior to the other.

I kinda want to see a DOTM Megatron that mimics the DOTM Cyberverse megatron toy but in a leader sized version. where the truck cab bot seperatates from the trailer. the truck cab bot transforms into a leader sized robot mode. the trailer transforms into a battle station for the truck cab bot to use in battle. the trailer combines with the truck cab bot to form a winged back pack & boots to make the robot mode a bit taller. also a weapon gets taked from the trailer & gets used by megatron. http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/prod ... ode=retail

For DOTM Shockwave,I don't see why we have to get the tank alt mode. especially considering shockwave never transformed into a vechicle mode in the DOTM movie. I kinda want a pre-DOTM movie shockwave. . that basically looks as much like the 1985 shockwave toy/cartoon version as poosible in both robot & space laser gun mode. kids won't notice. fans will get the much needed G-1 Styled 1985 shockwave styled poseable toy they've been dreaming of for decades. Sorry I really hated the awful robot & tank mode the DOTM shockwave toy received. nothing about that toy screamed G-1 1985 shockwave. it felt like the alternators shockwave toy where just the head & colors were a homage to G-1 1985 Shockwave. FWIW,The arm canon/hand the dotm voyager shockwave toy had didn't look much like 1985 shockwaves toy. I must admit the black hose was the best thing about the dotm voyager shockwave toy as it looked like 1985 shokwaves black hose. yeah I know shockwave probably didn't alter his form nor bother scanning anything on earth in the DOTM Movie. but who cares,just lie to the kiddies,say he did & be done with it. as long as fans getting their updated 1985 shockwave robot & laser gun alt mode then this is all that matters in leader sized DOTM toy form.

I did care for DOTM voyager sized sentinel prime. because it looked like a much cheaper version of the leader sized sentinel prime toy. the voyager toy had less sculpt details. less cool weapons & less of a complex transformations.

I would love to see Megatron described as you had wrote it. I'm hoping they actually go all out for once on a Leader Megatron toy. Megatron has always got the short end of the stick.

I disagree with you on Shockwave. This isn't G1, so you're not going to see a G1 style toy. I think if anything, turn away from the Cybertronian tank look of the voyager toy. I don't want a mess like Leader Megs from ROTF. If they could possibly modernize it with Earth technology, that would be interesting.

I like your DOTM shockwave toy idea. a military realistic tank mode for leader sized DOTM Shockwave's toy would look awesome.

I honestly really hated the DOTM Shockwave tank alt mode,it just seemed half finished & the tank turrent wasn't lined up in the middle even with the canon in expand extend mode. it was just a mess with the tiny wheels in the front & tank threads in the back. the weird clawed whatever things in the front by the wheels.

OTHER DOTM Shockwave toy ideas,if it gets a realistic military tank mode: Perhaps if hasbro gave the toy a 1985 G-1 styled chest design like they did with the energon shockblast toy that would be even cooler. instead of the external pop off/on arm/hand canon. I'd actually prefer a permantly attached big arm canon & black hose attachment for dotm leader sized shockwave. maybe it they went the extra mile to give us a more 1985 shockwave designed robot head,similar to the shockwave energon head that would be awesome. while i'm at it how about a mech tech shield that looks a bit like 1985 shockwaves toy shield.

As for Megatron, FrogDNA made on on TFW that was amazing. I'd like a robot mode similar to that. The head doesn't look insane like ROTF Leader's but still has the Megatron ferocity. A Fusion-ShotGun is a must...I'm not quite sure how to handle the trailer, but his vehicle is slightly smaller (the cab) than Optimus' right? So I guess they can work it out.

For ShockWave, I could care less about alt-mode, as long as he has one. I just want a lot of movie accuracy because he has such a cool design.

What the first poster described for Megs would NOT be a leader class figure. It would cost 100$ and would be a ULTIMATE class figure, like Ultimate Optimus Prime.
Ahem..
ALL OF MY MONEY by the way.

As for shockwave, why not make a Ultimate Class toy as well? Just "reprint" the same voyager with a few fixes, but add the MOTHERFAWKING HYOODGE wormbot-of-dom he was riding.
ALL OF MY MONEY X2!

Energon $27 usa ultra sized landmine came with a trailer. yet his front truck cab managed to transform into a ultra sized robot mode.
So DOTM Leader sized megatron can do something similar to energon landmine & till be sold as a leader sized toy. with the exception of a few parts of the trailer forming boots for megatron & the rest of the trailer forming a flight back pack. with the main trailer weapon being given to dotm megatron to use as a hand riffle gun.

I'm leaning more towards a Megatron like the DOTM Voyager. Where the trailer is part of his body. That'd be closer to the movie, where he had nothing like a battle platform. Like everyone else though, I think he NEEDS his shotgun and a fabric cape. I'd kind of like to finally get Hugo Weaving for his voice chip, but I'm not holding my breath on that one. Although contrary to wanting the truck and trailer to making the body, I'd like him to be in scale with ROTF Optimus, but I doubt I could have it both ways and still have him in the leader price range. Still, Jetfire expanded out pretty far in his alt mode, so maybe they could be creative with Megatron.

I wouldn't lose any sleep if they never made a leader Shockwave, but if they did, I'd want his bot mode to be as movie accurate as they can pull off. I kind of liked his voyager alt mode, because it felt more like a subterranean vehicle than just another Cybertronian tank. I'd be fine with an upscaled version of that. If Hasbro was interested in abandoning all logic with the toy, it'd be cool if they could somehow have him turn into Driller as his alt mode. I'd really just love to see a silver Shockwave with a bright glowing red eye.

I want a DOTM leader toy to look EXACTLY HOW IT DID IN THE FILM. Simple.

But shockwave didn't transform into any alt mode in the dotm movie. so the leader toy has more freedom to have any alt mode. we don't have to get that Awful--->my opinion,dotm shockwave voyager tank toy design increased to a leader sized toy version. we can get something better looking or a different alt mode design other than a tank.

On Megatron- I want his right hand to be different, like in the movie and images. I don't want his injured head to be just a half sculpted and rest a red translucent plastic. His tarp should be a kind of cloth not a rubber deco we've seen on Voyager. Some chain details that can be clipped into place. His truck mode must feature the spikes it had. Two weapons: his shotgun and some sort of a MECHTECH weapon that turns from gun into a blade.

On Shockwave- I want him to have a huge detachable cannon on his right arm like Voyager with the hose. His Alt.mode should be more like a Cybertronian tank, meaning wider and the cannon part must be rotatable and the height angle adjustable. Weapons: his cannon was okay on Voyager, but it could have some sort of a spring-loaded blade. His other blade should be also able to be given any MECHTECH figure by the ports.

I'm quite satisfied with Megatron's voyager class so I like the leader class pretty much the same but bigger in size with more improvements (especially the cab part to improve torso and arms). Not fancy about separating the trailer since the trailer should really be his legs. Also don't need the MechTech fusion cannon but a screen accurate shotgun.

Somehow, I don't really care about leader class Shockwave that much. He never transformed in the movie.

I'n the DoTM movie, Megatron's whole truck transformed. the tank one the back and all. they should keep that. and add the chains that he had and the extra steel beams that seemed to be welded into the front. and yes, the Mack - Titan truck is a bit smaller than optimus's but the trailer does make it longer, so they can use that to an advantage, being as megatron is normally supposed to be slightly taller than optimus.

For Shockwave, lose the tank treads for real. i hate that on the voyager... not very movie accurate. and he was Beastly in the movie. and his colors were terrible on the toy as well! Shockwave was a deep dark purple with some dark silver or chrome tent to him. and they need to make his gun as awesome as possible. but i hope when they include the cord that connects to his back they give it a little slack so that he can pose good.

As for his alt mode... Idfk what to make hime.i think should be more of like a hover tank type thing. kinda like a gunboat. where it hover rite off the ground. if not that than he should take on a plain type thing. but it should deff be cybertronian, as to where he had no parts that looked even remotley human vehicle on him.

As close to the movie as possible. And Megatron should have his shotgun and a cloth hood/cape. I like the idea of him just turning into the cab too. That's how his transform worked in the video game.
