Dark of the Moon The Official Transformers 3 News And Speculation Thread

[Avangarde]

Shockwave? Hellz yeah, they better not be playing with us about this, now all they need is Prowl and I'll be settled with the robot lineup. I like the sound of adding mystery to the plot, mystery is a great way of hooking the viewers in, as long as there is a lot of shock and awe. Not getting my hopes up, but some of that info is a def positive.

 

[Jake Cassidy]

^ I want Prowl too. If they add him, Hot Rod and Ultra Magnus, I'll be very happy.

 

[Chris B]

Please, God, let it be true! Shockwave would be an awesome villain.

 

[Chris B]

The space race was all about either destroying Unicron or harnessing him. How does Shockwave fit in? I just don't see a legit reason why Shockwave would be against his former master in Megatron.

Simple. Use his Marvel/Dreamwave/IDW personality where he's basicly an evil Spock who came to believe that logic dictated he was more fit to lead than Megatron. Plus, Dreamwave did a story that involved what the article mentioned with Shockwave taking over Cybertron and uniting the Autobots and Decepticons remaining there under his rule. Had Ultra Magnus as his liutenant as well.

 

[Rock Sexton]

Silverbolt eh? This mean we're going to see Superion? Hope so.

Good to see Bay manning up to the criticisms of the abomination that was the sequel.

 

[Avangarde]

Just a thought, there was a rumor about they go back in time to the 80's, now if you take that and this plot about the Space race with the USSR and the USA it kind of matches up. They can build on the events of the Cold War, like the TF's had something to do with it.

 

[Figs]

I love how Bay says he's getting rid of a lot of the "dorky humour" like the twins, that just upped my anticipation from meh to actually interested now.

It's been years but I can't quite remember much about Shockwave but I take it he'll be a formidable opponent.

 

[BlackLantern]

Id like to see Hot Rod or Hot Shot.....I just want to see some young buck who doesn't bow before the almighty Optimus Prime

 

[terry78]

Shockwave ****ed up Megatron and all five Dinobots in the comics. So yeah.

 

[BlackLantern]

you all do realize that 99.99 percent of the people who've seen the Transformers films have ZERO idea there was a comic, right??

I didn't even know there were comics until they'd been cancelled

This looks like good movie concept art for Shockwave. Maybe it really is concept art meant for Transformers 3.

And then there is this,notice on the right hand side at the bottom near the corner that it says nuclear reactor in French seemingly I think or whatever language it's in,and remember today's movie news about Bay being near a dilapidated nuclear plant set. It's Shockwave in nuclear reactor mode.

Exactly. Growing up I watched the cartoon and bought and played with the toys but never got around to reading the comics.

From what Terry says, he sounds like a badass.

Very interesting, thank you! Do you think it's legit?

 

[S.A.A.D.]

I don't know,but I really hope it is on a few hands. Hopefully this guy was a fan that got hired like that Josh guy who did Longhaul for TF:ROTF.

That's what i was thinking too. Just tweak the head a tiny-bit, and I'll be happy with the design. I think that hexagon-shaped G1 Shockwave head is as iconic as prime's helmet.

 

[Silver Knight]

Im pumped for Shockwave. I hope he will be purple.

 

[Darth Rodimus]

Real happy to hear abot shockwave.
Hope Silverbolt will still be a plane.

 

[sabetoonth]

whats that?

that the reactor?

and yes, its french

 

[dark_b]

What a shocker there! So much for Bay's I hate 3d speech a while back.

Bay talking about 3D before iron man 2 was realesed. TF and IM are both from Paramount.

they thought that IM2 will brake all records and be MEGA big. it was not.

plan B is to realese now all movies in 3D.

money talks. which is normal since those movies have huge budgets and hollywood is a buisness.

 

[Casius--J]

I have to admit the latest news from Bay and Co has peaked my interest a little. Shockwave was always a cool character, I just hope they get his look right

 

[J.Howlett]

Chris B,

I've never heard or seen that take on Shockwave. Very, very interesting. Still, I believe the big secret of the film is Unicron. How the article phrases the "mystery" of the film tied to the Space Race...it has to be Unicron in the end.

hell, 99.9% of die hardcore Transformers fans don't even know about the comic line. I know I didn't until a couple of years ago

Transformers are known for toys and cartoons, THAT'S IT!

the comic line may as well have never existed, as I doubt more than a total of 10 people even knew about it

 

[Ipodman]

I hope theres a shot of Shockwave at the Cybertronian lab working on stuff.... lol

 

[Mr. Earle]

That first design is like a car engine with a turbine at the back. Wth is that ****?

A lot more people know about the comics then that, there has been an ongoing series for a few years now.


I hope this turns out like someone suggested in the villain thread, I also put it on the poll as an option, but I hope Shockwave has his own faction of Decepticons and we get a 3 way war between Shockwave's decep#s, Megatrons deceps and Prime's Autobots.
