All the show has ever shown us about this creature is that it's the clone of an ancient Cybertronian dragon-like species and has shown hints of having a bit of a higher intelligence than it's let on to have.
Sabrblade wrote:It's not that they're cutting the show short, rather, it's that 65 episodes was their desired goal for this show since before its creation. That it's ending at episode 65 is merely a sign of them making their dreams for the series a reality, coming to fully meet their long term goal after all.Metrosuplex wrote:ILL-Star wrote:How they would compete with Prime was a question concerning me too. I could swear that they said the same makers of Prime would be doing the next show as well. But that's if I heard right.
That strikes me as odd. Why would the current staff end a popular show and start a new one? It's a pretty big gamble, unless one believes you can catch lightning in a bottle more than once...
Or the Prime show isn't as successful as we think? I don't really know the Nielson ratings or whatnot for the program.![]()
Plus, there's the "Predacons Rising" epilogue movie coming after the finale, so we have that to look forward to as well.

Leave it to Dead Metal to have the word 'Pronz' in his signature.
That counts as a hint. I did say "hints" not "hint", as in more than once has he shown signs of being smarter than he's let on to be.Bounti76 wrote:Sabrblade wrote:Up until now, there hasn't ever been any real indication in the show that the Predacon is a Transformer.

I think there's been more than a hint. I don't recall what episode it was (but it was one of the last two) where Predaking notices Starscream entering in the access codes for the sensor arrays...then in the last shot of the episode, Predaking approaches the control panel and enters in the access code himself. That, to me, doesn't seem like the work of a beast who has very little higher intelligence. He knew exactly what he was doing and how to get it done.

Could be an animation goof. Or maybe Hasbro mirrored the video for some reason.

That's the problem his gun is his arm, in FoC Grimlock took a bite of his arm

It could have been replied.
Still, Shockwave was on Cybertron for thousands of years. Plenty of time to make some modifications to his arms.viruscarnage wrote:njb902 wrote:viruscarnage wrote:njb902 wrote:He could just have switched arms.

I suppose it could but very unlikely, and its not like he had an extra arm his size considering most Autobots and Decepticons departed Cybertron, and in every episode Shockwave has appeared in he had his gun as his left arm

Why, he modified his entire superstructure from this to this anyway:
What's funny is that, after replacing his arm with a giant gun, he replaced the giant gun with an even bigger giant gun.viruscarnage wrote:Ok I give up on the Shockwave not being able to replace his arm while on Cybertron, but it seems he didn't bother to replace his arm, but rather get his giant gun replace his arm.

Maybe he secretly does have two hands, with one hidden inside the cannon, and just really likes his cannon.njb902 wrote:You'd think as a scientist if he could have both hands he would want both.

Oh I think the cannon is removable and he has a regular arm inside.

PrymeStriker wrote:But, if there's an actual arm inside, then doesn't that kind of destroy the point of there being a cannon in place of the exact same arm that Grimlock tore off and ate? I mean, if he had the choice, why isn't it on his right arm?
Maybe Shockwave is right-handed and thus needs his right hand for working with, making his left arm relegated to less important matters like shootin' stuff.viruscarnage wrote:PrymeStriker wrote:But, if there's an actual arm inside, then doesn't that kind of destroy the point of there being a cannon in place of the exact same arm that Grimlock tore off and ate?

Because that would be illogical somehow
