Seeing as Shockwave is one of the few original characters that kept his Cybertronian form, I can't see a purple van doing him justice.

And Decepticons as vehicles just never seemed right anyway.

Soundwave is another hard one. Given his functionality as a Decepticon and "Frenzy" already being the retarded radio robot in the first flick, he'd have to be some form of portable/mobile communications system.

Like the ones I work on in the Marines.

Shockwave was in the video game and his Alt mode was handed down from God himself: sheer brilliance.

For those of us who are video game challenged (or too broke to buy it at any time soon, like myself) whats his alt mode in the game?

A ground mounted cannon. Very nice design.

I personally like the idea of Soundwave being a communications truck.

Shockwave was a Triple Changer in the game. He also had a helicopter mode.

either that or keep his Cybertronian form, something like the war within thing

I haven't read "The War Within", but I remembered in the cartoon that his Cybertronian alt mode was a lamp post...

That might have been a disguise for he occasion. After all, it wasn't much of a transformation.

Shockwave as a ground-mounted cannon or small tank would be pure genius.

Soundwave would do great as a government communications van in my opinion.

i dont see soundwave getting an earth alt mode at all, i picture soundwave in this series of movies to be really stealth like and a behind the scenes type character.

Shockwave turns into a Galvatron like cannon and a AH-64 Apache, he wont be purple in the movie though

News Credits: 1 · by **Bottom Out** » Tue Jul 10, 2007 6:34 pm

he could be really dark purple, almost black, eggplant colored purple....

How about Soundwave Alt Mode becomes US Air Force UAV Predator and Shockwave's Alt Mode would be US Army Avenger

UAV Predator:

US Army Avenger:

What do you think?

by **buddhaquest** » Tue Jul 10, 2007 9:21 pm

Soundwave should be a SAT truck

by **Dave_6** » Tue Jul 10, 2007 9:45 pm

I still like this design for Soundwave:

Shockwave I dont know. I'd just like to see either or both in the sequel.

Shockwave in the game was amazing :grin:

i really like the idea of Soundwave as a military communications vehicle

by **darkassailant888** » Wed Jul 11, 2007 11:22 am

What about Soundwave being the stealth plane that was shown at the beginning of the movie. He was this alt. mode in Cybertron. I thought it was awesome!

If Soundwave has some communications equipment that can transform into human-sized robots (and maybe a bird and a big cat...just sayin'), we've got a winner here.

I just had an awesome idea.... have LAZERBEAK being the UAV Predator and Soundwave being the communication truck design already posted here. Generally those UAVs would be linked to those trucks anyways for controlling them.

I think that is a great idea!

by **NightScream** » Thu Jul 12, 2007 9:10 am

I like Soundwave as the truck above. I remember seeing the design with Ravage as the spare tire and Lazerbeak could be a predator...I never cared for Shockwave, I think he should get killed along with Wheelie from all canon..lol

I wish I would have stayed with sketching and all that stuff, some of these fan designs are awesome. Anyone have some Sunstreaker or Sideswipe designs, they should definetly be in the next movie , I mean wiht Bay's liking for exotic cars anyway...
