What could Shockwave transform into that would possibly of interest enough to warrant buying, especially for those who have bought the Voyager? He transformed into nothing in the movie. Unless they change it into something a lot better, or maybe the bot mode is so good it looks fantastic just standing there, I'll pass on it.

Dang...this gets to me :BOOM:

. Alot of people says that Shockwave was pointless and he didn't do anything. To me, he was a badass character. The humans were shooting him down and they couldn't bring him down. The Autobots tried to bring him down...they didn't bring him down. The only one that could was Optimus...I mean last I checked that is considered to be badass that he could stand his own against NEST and the Autobots. I mean when Optimus was going on his killing rampage, Shockwave still atempted to fight back by shooting at Optimus. Even his Optic was just swinging around. I thought Shockwave was kool in the movie and I loved the voyager mold and will probably love the leader mold.

Leader Megatron I think would have to have his Oil Tanker part because it's all part of his robot mode. I'm hoping it will come with his shotgun with a sheath on his back. Maybe Hasbro will go all out on this guy and even add the chains that wrap around his chest, because those chains is what holds his sheath.

I don't think Hasbro will release Jetwing Prime though :/, mainly because they release the Ultimate Prime instead. The jetwing Primw is in stock at BBTS and I ordered mine yesterday.

Im more intersted in the upcoming Prime toys though. I love the show and I love how they were able to make the figures that look really good compared to their CGI look. I'm going to get my SDCC Prime this week and Im super excited.

A small leader... What do you mean? There are size classes.
Legend
Scout / Basic
Deluxe
Voyager / Mega
Ultra
Leader
Supreme

I think they forgot the Ultra class in the movie/animated line. They did make Classics Ultra Silverbolt and Onslaught, I wish they were just voyager sized.

Anyway, GREAT NEWS!!!!

I wantz leader Megatron & Shockwave, but why do we have to wait so long?

Oh, kookookajew, you didn't like Generations, or generation 1 for that matter?

Well they didn't forget about the ultra class because Ultimate Prime is an ultra classed sized figure. Which kinda sucks.

True, but it's never called out as such. The Ultra Class, being the class between Voyager and Leader, was probably omitted because the size difference would have been minimal.

Gnommage! The megatron should have a fabric cape, an external shotgun and MOVIE ACCURATE FACE DAMAGE. I don't know if annyone noticed but the damage on the voyagers face is in the wrong place. it should be above his eye, not on it.
I think shockwave should turn into a cybertronian bomber thing like he does in the foundation comics. oh and he should be a slightly purply silver like he was in the film.
If Hasbro do these things then these will be AMAZING figs

Oh man, sweet!

I actually got chills down my back when I saw that "Megatron" name!

Please be true, please be true, please be true..... :PRAY:

If all that happens, AUTOBOTS,RETREAT! :twisted:

hell, I'd do anything for that

Here's to hoping that Shockwave includes some version of the drill.

Shockwave sure is surprising. I thought the second would definitely be a Starscream repaint/retool, although I guess he was repainted for the Masterpiece line.

I may have to pick-up Shockwave (I'm happy with my voyager DotM and leader RotF Megatrons). Maybe he's come with some Driller tentacles?

News Credits: 4 · by **Swiftknife24** » Wed Jul 20, 2011 1:31 pm

Fantabulous! Two more for my list!

Just finished the Dark of the Moon game; short but at least Shockwave kicks some! Really eager to get both the Voyager (to go with Voy. Megatron & Deluxe Bonecrusher and eventually Deluxe Optimus) AND the Leader!

And somehow I knew they'd do a Leader Megatron to finish the pattern! After the ROTF Leader Megatron (which I actually quite like...Especially for it's ease...And the fact I got it for less than half price!) the character can only get better! ^_^

That's what I'm hoping for regarding Shockwave. Driller tentacles at least. I could live with that. Can't wait to see.

At least it wasn't as bad as the first Leader Megatron. Horrible memories....

by **Cyberion** » Wed Jul 20, 2011 2:03 pm

Ok, now you've made me curious. How bad could the first leader Megatron have been, really? Haven't seen, so I dunno.

This really makes my day!!! :APPLAUSE:

I like the Idea of Megatron, just not sure if he will look as good as I could hope for. Hasbro has let us down twice now with Leader Class Megs.

Although this is my Fav movie-verse Megs design. Hopefully he comes with fabric hood, Shot Gun, and Head follower guy.

Shockwave?

eh I'd still rather have Blackout, Shock wave was in the movie for less then 5 minutes. Blackout was in the first part of the first TF movie, in a pivotal point, and the Grindor was in ROTF.

Still can't see why we don't have a Leader BO.

by **Cyberion** » Wed Jul 20, 2011 2:34 pm

Give me Shockwave with some form of drill or at least drill tentacles of some kind and I'm all over it!! :-)

Know what's dissapointing about Shockie? He didnt kill any Autobots. Heck if you look closely during the scenes he appear he DIDNT even damage any of the Autobots.So what he withstood the damages? He got killed by Optimus just by a few punches.How lame is that? Soundwave and Barricade atleast gets to execute Q and almost executed BB if not for the Duo Brothers(Wheelie and Brains). Shockwave? He didnt do ****. Seriously the only villain in DOTM is Sentinel,Soundwave,Laserbeak and Barricade. The rest is just dissapointing.The most dissapointing would be Shockie with Megs following quite closely behind.Atleast Megs get to backstab the **** out of Sentinel and pwn him if not for Optimus butting in with his axe >.>...

I dont own any of the leader class movie figures. They've just not struck me in the right way. I'm more a decepticon guy. We'll see, I suppose. The voyager ones look so solid and nice. I always wait too, just in case. I'm not sure if I want 2 megatrons that transform into the same thing. DOTM did give him a pretty solid form though.
I dont know if I want these big figures around too. They'll have to be pretty impressive to get me to buy them.

I'll wait until I hear a bit more news. I'd like to believe it, I really would, but I'm not holding my breath.

I second that motion. since I got the voyager class him I've had a hard time putting him dow. It's great to actually see a decent modern Megs. I'm definitely getting the leader class version...

News Credits: 1 · by **Optimus1138** » Wed Jul 20, 2011 3:29 pm

I can't wait for Megatron! I really hope he has his shotgun. Since he's being made later, he should hopefully be much better than his previous Leader figures, given that the designers will have had more time. Shockwave should be interesting too, but I'm okay with his Voyager figure.

by **prowl123** » Wed Jul 20, 2011 3:45 pm

I hope Megs finally gets a good Leader Class figure.

As for shockwave, F**K YEAH!!

For some reason I'm imagining him kind of like Doc Oc--I'm not sure if that's good or bad though!

by **1starscream1** » Wed Jul 20, 2011 4:06 pm

I want to see them, the suspense is killing me! =P~

I hope shockwave transformers into the same vehicle mode seen in the foundation comics (cybertronian jet similar to movie 1 megatron). Still waiting for HA soundwave. :-x

If he did have tentacles (especially if they were mounted on his back Doc Ock-style), that would make him different from the Voyager figure (and awesome) enough for me to get him.
