USA Today Articles Reveal Interesting New Shockwave Detail

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!

Haha morphs into snake bot? Not according to Rising Storm and Foundation!

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.

Heh I guess I was pretty close then.

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!!!

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.

You stole my thought First-Aid. That's a possibility.

Oh brother... someone needs to do their researching before they write articles.

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.

Cool picture; dumb "spoiler."

I want one of those...uh, no reason why...

it's kinda creepy that you're looking...

Laughed out loud.

Ewwwww! Get your mind outta the friggin' gutter! Nasty.... Imaginitive, but horribly nastry.....

Shockwave's totally the bad "guy" from Gatchaman.

This news is all fine & dandy, but I'd really love it if we could get info on Shockwave's voice at this point. We've got 26 days to go and we still don't know.

Fingers crossed, hopefully it's Corey Burton. Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease let it be Corey Burton....

I'm surprised Nelson hasn't said this is true.

Fingers crossed, hopefully it's Corey Burton. Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease let it be Corey Burton...

he said he didn't want to be in...how did he say it? Well, he didn't want to be in the movie in short...

Anyways, this is something I won't believe unless it's in the actual film, it's better if it's his pet and I think that's what everything so far has said.

@Dagon:Hm, yeah I guess it would've been cooler if Driller was sentient, though that'd make taking him down all the more difficult. Also, never used a spoiler before...DUN DUN DUNNN.

They have James Avery credited with the part of Silverbolt but in the Novelization, Silverbolt was never once mentioned. They have Mark Ryan listed for TF3 but no character given. He voiced 'Bee in the first movie, Jetfire in RotF and 'Bee is supposed to have a vocal part (not involving his radio) in the new movie and Ryan is also credited with voicing Wheeljack in the DotM video game, so I'm guessing he's all Autobot this time around and it's probably Avery doing Shockwaves part. He strikes me as being able to pull of a deep, menacing tone and I'm not expecting a voice anything like the G1 incarnation.

...and yeah, Burton isn't even listed as picking up Bay's dry-cleaning let alone doing a voice part so you can stop praying. Sorry.

I find it very interesting that Shockwave's voice actor isn't even listed on the IMDB site. In fact, Shockwave isn't listed AT ALL on the DotM page. Very interesting...talk about under wraps...

I wonder if maybe Shockwave will be silent, like just a silent, menacing type....

I just think it's pretty lame that robots who turn into things need what amounts to vehicles.
i'm sure it would be rather difficult to write and characterize a large metal worm, but I just don't like this idea very much. We'll see though.

Well, it sounds more like a pet than a vehicle...besides, if it can do something that you can't then might as well take advantage of it. That's why humans rode horses even though we are perfectly capable of walking, jogging, or running. They are just faster.

as far as mass shifting mv 1 had a friggin cube the size of a skyscraper that morphed into a 12 by 12inch box a teenage boy was running around with so i can rationalize a 30 foot tall give or take a few feet robot morphing into a driller 300 feet long. thats for those who said mass/size shifting isnt in the movies

secondly this is michael bay were talking about king of the non robot mode constructicons and hillbilly twins/redneck wreckers.

thirdly anyone remember the bike sisters in the novel (THEY COMBINED) yet in the movie we got nadda. my point is mb could care less about novelization hes gonna do what hes gonna do. me ill just wait and see what happens.
