  • GOD, i hope Shockwave will be in Transformers Prime

  • And it did, for millions of years. Couldn't Shockwave have cleaned up the place a little?

  • Shockwave and SoundWave where the best 2 decepticons Ever!!!

  • i seen this on kids on demand

  • all movie shockwave says is: optimus... driller bot is thirsty

  • Shockwave had A LOT more dialogue in this video than in Dark of the Moon.

  • And Shockwave was better than his word. It was always said that if any bot knew how to keep Cybertron in his spark, it was him.

  • Shockwave: Megatron! Starscream stole my ladder again and I can't get down!

  • i guess the normal hand is just another one of the g1 mistakes in animation?

  • @TheXXIV Yep.

  • @AeonMagnus ah well normal hand or not hes still my favorite character

  • @AeonMagnus I tend to disagree on that point, purely because, so far I can recall, this is the only time in the cartoon where he has two hands and considering four million years pass by when we see Shockers again, I tend to think he lost/replaced his hand. Of course, such is never explained in the series, just like his fate along many other things left unresolved. (Dion anyone?)

  • @0NightHawk0 If you like. However, if true, he must have somehow "regrew" the missing hand (and subsequently lost it again) a few episodes later for "Divide and Conquer".

    G1 wasn't known for being that thoughtful about the smaller details; he was also later seen holding a mini gun-mode version of himself in "Desertion of the Dinobots".

  • @AeonMagnus Ah right, I have forgotten that part...then again I tend to skip that episode due to the...well, over abundance of animation errors and continuity errors.

    I think the animators had him hold a miniature version of him for shits and giggles, he is Shockwave after all, he is a gun and has a blaster for a hand, clearly he doesn't need it. But yes, you are correct that they aren't exactly great with the smaller details.

  • @0NightHawk0 Would have been a great idea, and fed into a character background story. Sort of like Animated Ratchet's broken crest. We'd get to see a flashback to the events that ultimately lead to the loss of his hand. However, considering his day appears to be chock full of "nothing", he probably lost it in an accident while making a packet of Pop Secret.

  • @AeonMagnus Could always claim that either Elita-1 or her followers chopped it off when they made another run on stealing energon right under Shockwave's nose, bit obvious but it works.

    I honestly find it a shame how much Shockers got downplayed in the cartoon, his comic version was far more threatening.

  • @0NightHawk0 could have done that

    theires also a scene where he has a blaster that looks like his alt mode so maby theirs more than one shockwave (kinda like reflector) and one had a normal hand and the other has a blaster hand but the normal handed one shut down into gun mode to save engery

    (just a theory)

  • @TheXXIV i thoght shock wave could switch between a regular hand and a blaster?

    also dident shockwave create the seacons?

  • @flarescarab777 Neither was established in the cartoon. In the comics, Shockwave simply sent them to Earth.

  • @flarescarab777 as far as i know its never defined weather or not he can switch hands for blasters and i think he did create teh seacons but im not 100% positive

  • @TheXXIV i have an idea about the hands.later on we see shockwave on cybertron again and he has created some robot drones to help him out.what if he creted a second body while megatron was away so that he is more effective in combat but still has the origonal body somewere to download his mind if one of the bodys is destroyed (kinda like ghost of starsceam)

    i had a look and it seems that shockwave designed the seacons animal mode upgrades but did not create them.

  • @flarescarab777 ahhh well as far as the second body thing i think its more likely that he just upgraded his arm rather then the entire body and good to know about the seacons

  • @TheXXIV i like the second body idea because it means theres a chance hes around in the beast wars era and beond

    in fact what if all the shockwaves we have seen are controled by one central shockwave planning on multi-universal domination

    p.s. did you know that the center peice of tidal wave in armada is called shockwave in jappan as well as a minicon in the cybertron cartoon that has a jet and 3 pronged wrist blade mode

  • @flarescarab777 it would raise some interesting possibilities if there were multiple shockwaves running around lol and yeah i did know about the other shockwaves (hes my favorite character in the show so i learned a lot about him lol)

  • @TheXXIV i forgot about energon shock-blast if that counts as another shockwave

    but shock wave dosent seem to have any apperances in beast wars not sure what animal whould fit him if he was planing to infaltrate the predacons (maby a sting ray or eletric eel) i think the idea of mutiple shockwaves kinda makes scnece too if they are led by the g1 comic version because he was always sceaming away behind megatrons back and planing world domination

  • @flarescarab777 as far as the beastwars shockwave he cant b a sting ray one already exists (i forget its name) but there could be one perhaps a eel tho 

  • @TheXXIV in all honesty if shock wave was introuduced into beastwars at this point his toy whould probably be a repaint or altered version of another toy

    so he could be the sting ray toy with a difrent head and purple body

    also in war for cyberton shock wave made the constuctacons and the combatacons

    its posible he made all the deceptacon combiners

  • @flarescarab777 i havent played war for cybertron but i find it odd that he made the combatacons because in the g1 eps starscream makes them after being exiled from the decepticons

  • @TheXXIV also he wasent even on earth when the constructacons where created

    thogh the new game is going to show more about the combatacons and will probably explain it a bit better

    maby he was ordered to make them under star sceams orders or somthing

    are there any other decptacons that where left on cybertron with shockwave aside from the seacons?

    speaking of seacons dose cybertron even have any oceans?

  • @TheXXIV as far as i know it was just shockwave left on cybertron and i dont think theres "oceans" on cybertron but there might be energon pools?

  • the G1 days remind me of my childhood alot

  • For some reason shockwave always reminds me of an Zeon Gouf

  • is shockwave british?

  • @LittlebritSTARboy

    no silly he's cybertronian.

  • @LittlebritSTARboy Close, but not correct, he has dual citizenship, he has a British passport and a Jamaican one. But he spent most of his days in the UK , that's y he has a british accent. But as you know later down the road he got back to his Jamaican roots and started working for Red Stripe.

  • Then he shall stay alive i luved shockwave :D

    at least he was loyal to my leader....

  • EXCELLENT

  • What happened to shockwave after the g1 movie? Did unicron kill him?

  • @TimeForFunGuy It was originally scripted that he would die in Unicron's attack on Cybertron. However, the scene never made it into the film, leaving it left unresolved. So, if you want him to be dead, he's dead; if you want him to be alive, he's alive.

  • @AeonMagnus

    bummer, he even had less screen time in the G1 movie than this video and DARK OF THE MOON, but he still had more lines than in Dark of the Moon.

  • @TimeForFunGuy And he did more, too.

  • @AeonMagnus He es aliveeeee ! XD XD XD ...

  • @brickarms666 I don't understand what the voice would have to do with him surviving or not surviving.

  • @AeonMagnus i meant he had a normal voice and i dont think i meant to say that it kept him alive.

    and i just commented after that he should be alive but damaged and is hiding on a rock/planet deep in space.

  • @brickarms666

    your comment about his voice having to do with him surviving or not surviving was SO illogical that i marked it as spam

  • @TimeForFunGuy this may have been answered for you already but in the original scrip his command tower was crushed by unicron though like many deaths not shown in the movie. he did appear in the 3rd season of the show miscolored but thats more of an animations flaw simaler to the insecticons appearing. in fact if u notice on planet junk shrapnel appears to be alive and threatening Danila even though earlier he was tossed into space and became one of galvatrons minions

  • @Evil80soverlord The Insecticons appearing post-movie is used by some to explain that the Sweeps are actually Insecticon clones while Thundercracker and Skywarp are the ones that became Scourge and Cyclonus

  • Notice his left hand is still not a gun? :)

  • If i had a dollar for every word Shockwave said in Dark of the Moon, I'd have 1 dollar.

    if i had a dollar for every word Shockwave said in this video, I'd have 15 dollars.

  • @TimeForFunGuy Five dollars for you then. Shockwave said 5 words in DOTM. "Optimus. Drill. Bot. Is. Thirsty."

  • @supxtra2

    he only said, "Optimus".

  • Comment removed

  • Respond to this video... Pay attention to the scene where Shockwave looks up towards Epps during the glass building scene.

  • Megatron: Really? Damm. I thought you might tidy up this place.

  • "What is your command, Megatron?" Better than "I'll take you all on!" and "Today we take the battle to them!" Thumbs up!

  • @dubbeking Optimus lines are better.

  • Shockwave stayed perched on that post for 4 millions years. Now that's loyalty.

  • why does everything shockwave say rhymes with megatron ?

  • shockwave is awesome in the movie but a disappointment because they didnt show much of shockwave and wish they would have put more of a fight with shockwave and optimus

  • who is the most loyal of shockwave and soundwave?

  • @justique of course Soundwave

  • @justique Shockwave, because he's both humble and respectful.

    Fun fact: Shockwave is Cad Bane.

  • @cameronjr8 And Count Dooku and Hugo Strange!

  • @TPDManiacXC626 Dude I know about Cad Bane he's a bounty hunter and when is he coming back? I can't wait to see the new season! :D

  • Oh Crap! Mr Burns is Megatron!

  • he has the same voice as in animated. soundwave does to

  • @PivotMMZ Animated Soundwave was voiced by Jeff Bennett. G1 Soundwave was voiced by Frank Welker.

  • @AeonMagnus i mean they sound alike

  • @AeonMagnus Did Frank do Shockwave for Transformer War for Cybertron?

  • @philiptwood No, Steve Blum (who now does TFP Starscream). I don't think Frank did any WFC voices.

  • @AeonMagnus you said soundwave

  • @mrman117ify Yes. Please read the full thread.

  • @AeonMagnus Frank Wlker is G1 Megatron. As well as TFP Megatron. Frank Wlker is also Shockwave in TF3

  • @dubbeking Frank Welker also is Soundwave, Ravage, Rampage, Grindor and Demolishor in TF2

  • lol sounds like Geoffrey from Fresh prince, you know the butler.

  • Shockwave is like darth vader in this video... As megatron is palpatine.

  • best 

  • Corey and Frank played their characters really well in the 80's. It's no wonder to this day that the voice cast still cannot be beaten. I recommend any G1 fan check out "Transformers Prime" if you have'nt already got around to it... Wait, what was that you said?? that it sounds like Frank is Megs and Peter is Prime again???

  • Shockwave gets a WHOLE planet to look after. Lucky guy.

  • @ShowMe160 well not really because if somthing goes wrong he is the only one to blame and he has to fix it all by himslef :/

  • @loltransformer I know lol

  • @ShowMe160 but still if i were hime i would claim half of it and megatron couldnt say shit about wha i did on my half i would be shootin stuff and blowing stuff up all day

  • oh...my...god

    HE HAS 2 HANDS!

  • @chrisjg210 Yes, but he still remains a CYCLOPS!

  • There were some fantastic voice actors in this series, especially considering other cartoons on TV at the time, Transformers kicked their asses.

  • shockwave is sexy

  • He was so badass in the movie

  • @RevelationWarriors

    Did we watch the same movie? He was a total waste in it.

    Barely any screen time, ONE line of dialogue, and zero character development.

    But you probably just watched it for the exploshuns. Right?

  • @pinoi78 wow, someone still lives with mommy. Right? no one lives forever, stop being useless on a media site with attack comments.

    Jeez... and I sold all my toys years ago to move out and pay for college.

  • @pinoi78 Why attack someone for different tastes? People like what they like. Who gives a fuck if someone watched the movie for explosions; that's what they were made for anyway, and nothings wrong with liking it. Instead of being blinded by nostalgia, just accept that people can like whatever the fuck they want, whether it's G1 or the movie, or even both. That is all.

  • @RevelationWarriors Not really.

  • @blacktigerpaw1 Hey, I just enjoy my childhood toys walking around. I appreciate the little things :)

  • @RevelationWarriors *shrugs* As you wish.

  • @blacktigerpaw1 like wise for your tastes

  • @RevelationWarriors Elaborate.

  • @blacktigerpaw1 i'm just saying, you like what you like, as i like what i like. a whole world is out there and no one lives forever. people can be as they will.

  • Shockwave sure has tiny hands.

  • The guy who made handicapped Aspies cool! :)

  • @MedinaJayeCabaret Who?! Corey Burton as Shockwave?! He looks like he has AS and I have AS and I follow my orders and do my jobs to the letter!

  • Shockwave with two hands?

  • So Mr Burns from the simpsons is really megatrons new disguise EXCELLENT

  • Nothing got better in 4 million yars.... LOL sounds like 4 million years of Obama!

  • -sigh- These were the good old days! :')

  • shockwave in Latin America do not speak in this part as it just passed the initial titles and had to turn to Spanish XD

  • to bad that the third film will not have the same voice.

  • so... when he has no missions he just sits there in gun mode...

  • @vids657 lol.

  • I can't wait to see him in Dark of the Moon

  • @Teeheehee093

    Oh, yeah. Shockwave is going to so much better than the Fallen, and maybe even prove to be worthy of rivaling Megatron.

  • @Teeheehee093 If you expect many awesome lines, a transformation or his G1 characteristics, you will be dissapointed.

  • @TheMarvelousDC you think I haven't seen it yet?

  • @Teeheehee093 So you saw it. Was Shockwave as you expected him to be?

  • @TheMarvelousDC I knew he didn't talk and I knew he wouldn't have much screen time so yeh I expected that.

  • @Teeheehee093 That is nothing to look forward to. I guess you have seen it now, but Shockwave had 5 minutes of screenplay at most.

  • Hey, he did a good job. Keeping Cybertron running for 6 million years.

  • cant wait 2 c how shockwave will b in dotm

  • @bad2dabohn1992 they allready have pictures up.

  • I really love Shockwave, he is such powefull or even more powerfull than Megatron itself .A great coincidence they both transforms in to guns. In comic books Shockwave defeats Megatron and became leader of the Decepticons being so powerfull that he alone is able to stop the Dinobots or Scorpinok.In gun mode he is greatly destructive.I love dinobots too but I have seen from his first battle with them, he finished everything with a last powerfull blast in Gun mode leaving them in extasis

  • @chicoplateado i just wished he had had more screen time in the g1 show i mean we mostly saw him planning out the decepticons next attack instead of seeing him cause destruction like i wish but i guess he appeared in later series and got recognized like he should have

  • @Teeto1994 Ohhh my friend ... I was expecting a better role in Transformers 3 ... he was very destructive indeed but he planned not anything neither he was the main enemy as people in the forums used to say ... finally he died to easy in Optimus Prime hands ... Once again ... I was expecting more of this character ... I think he is not well valued... (sorry if its not the right word ... this is not my language ... :S)

  • @chicoplateado I have to agree... Shockwave was pretty badass in the movie. I wish he had more screentime as well.

  • what happened to him we saw him in the movie leading an attack against Unicron but vanished

  • @jazz265 he was crushed.

  • It's always funny how some G1 transformers have giant things that just dissapear! Like shockwaves.. Uh.. White thing, and optimus' trailer. Kewl.

  • 4 million of years of babysitting...

  • ON GAURD AUTOBOT

  • Shockwave stayed at his post for 4 million years.

  • 0:23

    Because I can't get down from here.

    ...thank you for that riff, MSTF.

  • "Actually, Shockwave, the reason I'm leaving you here is because you can't shoot for ****. I can't risk taking somebody with bad aim with me, one mistake could cost us the battle. Make sure you leave this place exactly as I left it."

  • Cybertron shall remain as you leave it.

    And he sure did. Dang.

  • @TheHumbleFellow No spoilers.

  • ... he kept his promise *tears up*

  • shockwave black streamscream and barricade my fav deceptiocons but shockwave is just the best trainformer

  • Megatron - "NO, Shockwave, you need to make sure this place is cleaned up by the time I get back. Don't forget to walk the cyberdog, and OH, yeah, NO PARTIES!!!" LOL

  • @jlward LOL

  • two noobs hit the dislike button

  • SPOILER ALERT!

    No sereously, Jazz's spoiler is HUGE!

  • Shockwave and Wheeljack are my two favorite G1 TFs.

  • god i love his voice

  • shockwave and soundwave=best transformers out of all series

  • @sporeodst AND the 2 most LOYAL Decepticons to Megatron. lol

  • @boofdfast Only in the cartoon. Shockwave openly defied Megatron in the comics while Soundwave defied Megatron without him knowing.

  • @BassX0 Yeah, Shockwave was more of a leader and had more of a backbone in the G1 comic. The comic had a better storyline than the cartoon. lol

  • @boofdfast wish i could read the original comic

  • @sporeodst

    Yes, very much so. Always very reliable, useful and loyal...the only other who was just as loyal, but not as smart as those two was Astrotrain.

  • No Spoilers.

  • wow all my favoret G1 decepticons in one scene.

  • Shockwave is one of the better transformers ever

  • I love shockwave. I remember him in the 80's and saw him in the transformers 2007 movie game

  • @gamer3121 he was there?

  • Shockwave is one of my most favoured Transformers of all time! He was just such an interesting character made even more so by his lack of consistent appearances. When the character was introduced in Transformers Animated, I was thrilled that not only was he given a much bigger part, but that both his character and voice actor returned to do the good-ol' Decepticon justice. Thanks for uploading.

  • anyone notice how shockwave has two hands in this?

  • There were errors all the time in this series ... eventough ... I love it :)

  • @chicoplateado I get tired of people pointing them out... I am like a child and if left to it I automatically tune them out!

  • It remainds me old times... Shockwave is my favorite decepticon from generation 1!

  • Retro Transformers cartoons rocked in the 80's. Nobody has anything on what the 80's gave the world in terms of entertainment and toys. Waaaaah, give me back my He-man, G.I. Joe, and Transformer toys... :(

  • TRUE 80S ROCKED!!

  • You gotta love Shockwaves voice!

  • just like animated or the other way around

  • because he's voiced by the same person

  • sorry i found that out after the vid

  • i think shockwaves animated voice is better even though there the same person

    i would like to see animated shockwaves voice in transformers 3 as well as animated grimlock and his voice

  • @atomictrain513

    It's been said that Shockwave's vocal patterns (provided by Corey Burton) were based on David Warner's. (An English actor was is known for playing really sinister bad guys)

  • @Bartman954 Yeah, I remember David Warner from the Titanic movie. He's no Corey Burton, but he does sound like Shockwave.
