"He's always been a mean, mean guy, but he's even more menacing and more dangerous," says producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura. "He's bigger, badder, with a greater arsenal."

This just goes to show you how dumb the media is nowadays. Do your research before you write the article next time, idiots! The cyber-snake is Shockwave's PET! ![:BANG_HEAD:]( "Frustration")

I wouldn't be shocked if Shockwave could morph simliar how he could in Transformers animated. I'm guessing that huge beast that knocks over the skyscraper in the trailer isn't shockwave though. (I've been referring to as the dweller till an offical name surfaces as it reminds me of the dweller of the deep from G1.)

You two are absolutely correct.It would be hella weird if Shockwave transforms into something that big and it has been revealed that the snake-like bot is his pet not his alt mode.Though there's a spoiler that said that he can ride the snake in his "cockpit".

It's just simply known as a "Driller" in the novelization.

The only thing revealing in that pic is Shockwaves penis. It's like one of the sheathes a horse or cat has. ![:P]( "Tongue")

Here's a random thought: I wonder if SHockwave somehow merges physically or mentally with the Driller...but I'm not going to read the book to find out.

If this is true, even though it's obviously not, but I thought Bay said no size shifting? Why would he say that for the first two movies, then have Shockwave turn into something larger than Devastator?

Wait, so what they're saying is that Shockwave is, in reality, the Mecha-Kraken?!?!? But Shockwave is just too small to be the Mecha-Kraken! Too small!!! ![:BOOM:]( "Head Explodes")

Shockwave rides in a cockpit on the Driller's back and it's said, in the novelization anyway, that he has a telepathic link with it so it's loyal only to him.

Well truth is...I just felt like putting a spoiler in my post too. Peer pressure. All cool kids are doing it. HAHA

Well, for your information, I read the spoiler about Shockwave piloting the driller, and I'm very disappointed that I did. That's lame to me, on the same lame level as having the little bug spy bots in ROTF. Can't entirely explain why, but I found that part lame, and I think I was happier under the idea that the driller was a sentient robot itself, not robo battle cat. Plus, I don;t think I've ever used the spoiler tag before.
