Video Review of the Transformers 3 Dark of the Moon (DOTM) ; Voyager Class Shockwave

[@jamesporter571]

Sad thing is, Shockwave never transforms in the movie and has the lowest amount of screentime

[@jamesporter571]

***** well that and because the annoying humans hog most of the Transformers' screen time

[@lokekennee8850]

Splash Effects Well he was severely injured by Epps's gang remember? Even his eyes was alrdy hanging from a thread when Optimus killed him.

[@lokekennee8850]

Splash Effects I bet it won't be so easy if he was nice and new.

[@therosesorceress431]

all of the decepticons are wasted in the movie

Hey Shcokwave why do you have a yellow eye instead of a red eye?

[@DreamyAileen]

Funny thing, we never see his tank in the movie...only ol' "Driller-Bot"The size comparison is a bit inaccurate--Shockwave is HUGE in the movie. Think thirty-five to forty feet.

[@kira-dk2mx]

+Isaac Wang Inaccuracy in a bayformers movie? NOOOOO!

[@foongusamoonguss_8557]

Around 28 ft, he was near optimus' height. The tallest I seen (exception of Devastator from rotf and the driller) is blackout, at 33 ft

[@yalexander9432]

FoongusAmoonguss _ no shockwave was confirmed to be 40 feet tall

[@jackhealy2434]

shockwave looked so badass in all the promotion, but he was so wasted in the actual film

[@TuberoseKisser]

Jack Healy agree I was pissed, not because he was my personal favorite but because he was the personal favorite of many, You really can't dislike Shockwave, the amount of love fans had for him was enough to compare him on the level of bumblebee or optimus fans yet he got no justice in the movie, Regardless if he died or not I still would've wanted him to go out with an actual fight.

[@gameplayfreinds3032]

WHAT DOES HE FEED THE THING

[@djfluffy123]

It would have been BADASS if the toy came with its pet worm with it!

[@360FlameR]

I agree it would be badass. And his pet worms name is Driller. :)

[@porterpatriots3632]

It's actually THE Driller

[@sexykyuubi]

[@porterpatriots3632]

I don't think it matters though

[@jludwig5374]

lol if it was to scale I think the worm would be as long as a car!

[@jludwig5374]

shockwave deserves to be leader class. he is just as important as megatron and starscream. i don't like how he was so underplayed in the movie...

[@EvanRado]

ikr shockwave deserved better especially someone as legendary as him i hope comes back in TF4 because on multiple websites it says shockwave isnt dead just badly injured

[@-methyl-1372]

[@kermit_the_frog1955]

This may be my favorite DOTM figure...

[@TheLeathersmurf]

It's funny, not a fan of 'Bayformers' here, but I received 'Shockwave' as a Christmas gift, and man am I impressed. I love his proportions, like you said his colors... He's a very handsome guy, and has become my new favorite... I am so beyond happy with him!

[@applewe24]

The movie did not do a good job at portraying shockwave, and then that bullshit lie that he was going to be the main villain, ugh i was so upset. Loved his design but horrible execution.

[@RussoolMishir]

They would never ever ever ever say Shockwave would be the main villain i can't believe you were dumb enough to think he was the main villain which ever source of info you got that from you can't have been thick enough to think that, if Megatwan was still alive obviously he's going to be the main villain (except this time 'cos he's a bitch).

[@applewe24]

Well, first off, no one insulted you so chill out, please there are too many people who don't have any respect for others especially when no one said anything rude to them on the internet. Second. It would have been a smart idea because Shockwave thinks logically and is a very essential character in transformers lore so to have him only show up twice and not talk at all a be bitched at the end of the movie was kinda dumb. He can take care of himself and would have seen Megatron unfit to lead, they could've gone that route for the sake of story, or they could have just used him as more of a main villain/secondary right hand, doing all of the work while megatron regained his strength. If you remember Shockwave was shown constantly through advertisement and posters. Once again, have some respect and try to hold a normal conversation with people who like the same thing as you.

[@RussoolMishir]

kAMI tRIO Alright, alright caim down hot head but everyone knew Shockwave wasn't going to be the main villain I just thought that's what you thought was going to happen then it obviously didn't.

If you look closely in the 4th movie, there is a human-made transformer that greatly resembles a two-headed Shockwave.

[@anthonyfins7519]

Shockwave is my favorite and I was glad to see that, KSI probably got a hold of the leftover body from DOTM.

@optibotimus dear optibotimus, your videos are the only reviews that i can actually watch til the end. even though i don't buy that many transformers, i come to you when i want to! your reviews are intertaining and informing because you cover ALL the details. thank you for having a such a great channel!

[@Simon-lq5uk]

And now, let me point out the decepticon's iconic appearances, starscream has a wide body, blackout has a clock above his head, barricade has four eyes like a fucking spider, megatron is still a cybertronian plane and tank, bonecrusher hasn't been killed or seen after the chapter "A gathering force", and finally, brawl develops his strength overtime during combat by raging like an angry kid in call 'o' duty.

[@lokekennee8850]

ZX Brawl is pretty cool but unfortunately he died quite early, he's one of my top favourite decepticons. His vehicle form is big and the fact that his robot mode is about the size of ironhide showed that his body is very compact and badass.

[@Simon-lq5uk]

Loke Ken Nee I know, it's unfortunate that we can't play as him.

[@muisverriet]

Blackout has a turbine above his head. And it was iconic enough to make it into the Animated figure as well.

[@gspsucks]

i love the white background in your videos. everything is so nice and clear. 1080p awesome. theres no need to get these figures cuz u show it and describe it so well.

[@davidlimonjr.6557]

It's actually a cybertronian tank of his own design

[@brhchllngr1451]

So that's why I saw two different tank styles between Megatron and Shockwave. 😂

[@Joeyz1231]

Y'know, at 11:54 when you put the lights on his leg piece, it makes the legs look half organic, which is absolutely cool!!!

[@stanletters]

Worm attack that building unlogically and with no strategy. Oh look Optimus. I will- *dead*

[@toyanthaog5109]

I got mine 9 years ago and hes still good 🔥

[@everythingincorporated4597]

We got ironhide, sentinel, and bumblebee, also jetwing optimus from takara, but we should've gotten leader class shockwave and megatron.

[@patricktsai2303]

We’re getting both now :)

[@alexmok2]

The best way to display the hose is to put one end in the port BEHIND his shoulder, the other peg into the port on his backpack, and it looks really good. Trust me

[@normahmansoor2888]

I had this toy before, until I lost it during a flood, Rip

You could have lost your house or any other items in a flood yet you only care about the Shockwave toy?

[@gameplayfreinds3032]

[@esthermontalvo3467]

Nice review!!! I now fall in love with this Shockwave and want to buy it ASAP. I like the way you do the transformation from vehicle mode to robot mode and then back to vehicle mode again. It's really helpful, I'm gonna use your video as my main reference when I need to transform my Shockwave later. Thank you very much, really appreciate this.

[@redrighthand2]

how???

[@fleamarketsnack3280]

Astrotrain tfp is best shockwave. All hail dave robolov

[@Matt-ec5jn]

I can disagree

[@thebondoman]

I like the fact that he looks like it turns into something discernible as a vehicle as opposed to the previous incarnation of Megatron that was a "wadded up robot" Great Job on the review Mr Optibotimus...

[@brendanmooneb]

My only nitpick is that his arm - cannon should be on the left arm.

[@MegaAntonyo]

Maybe shockwave is right-handed so he is more comfortable

[@altairibn-laahad4088]

Actually, he's right handed

[@brendanmooneb]

His gun is always on the left.

[@Dwarfer225]

Brendan Moone If you just do a quick Google image search or watch the movie again, you will see the gun is on his right arm...

[@brendanmooneb]

Dwarfer225 Only in this universe he has a gun on his right arm.

[@LiamTheGreat]

Even the decepticons need to clean their base up "Shockwave, this place is a mess. Clean it up!" "Yes, mighty Megatron"

[@runescape228]

To be honest, these movie figures needed simpler transformations! A lot of ROTF toys had really complicated transformations that (I can't help but feel) frustrated kids!

You can, but they're pretty rare nowadays, if you're not looking for some online

[@VendettaAS]

Just bought mine after getting out of work. I work at Toys R Us so I managed to get first dibs on Sentinel Prime Leader Class and this Shockwave Voyager. I only have one problem with this figure, not sure if it's just mine but the hose does NOT stay in if I set up the backpack correctly. It fits VERY loose and I can't pose him at ALL without it falling out.

[@alexramey2062]

SPOILER ALERT FROM THE FUTURE (whisper) ...he wasn't purple... (whisper)

[@wasupdog4]

i just got him, love him, and you can tuck the hose between his pack and his back (the end of the hose should reach his other shoulder) so that way he will have full poseability (pardon my spelling) and the hose will still looked attached to him

[@Ryuujiish]

the most movie accurate transformers figure and also rampage in rotf as well...

[@chachipower]

@optibotimus in that case, I'm glad I didnt hesitate on buying him. I mustve walked in the second they stocked up because shelves were full of Voyagers, but only ONE shockwave in the lot.

[@jlkadian1]

he is so badass

[@Goodman7834]

His only line is "Optimus." which was from the beginning part.

[@ebmhead]

I also found him today at a local Toys R' Us after failing at Target earlier. I was in the next aisle over and I can here my gf saying "Here he is" like she always does when I'm looking for a certain guy to fuck with me so I said whatever. So I went to the Transformer aisle and saw this guy looking at all the new DOTM figures that just came in. I said to my girlfriend all I want is Shockwave and dude handed him to me. I was in shock, no pun intended. Thanks again Brian! Your the man!

I like how when they can't figure out what mode to give a transformer, they just wad it up into a brick and call it a tank lol. Somehow, it works for this figure. Looks cool. Nice review.

[@GreenTree67]

I wish he had a little changes. Like his hands could have a ball joint with with the swivel included, and change the elbows to have the cannon on the side shooting at u.

[@dreadwing0]

I picked him up from my target last night, i was actually looking for megatron but they didnt have him so i got this guy instead since he was my most anticipated DOTM release. I LOVE this figure!

This is a *really* great figure. Exceptionally good-looking robot mode and very durable too.

[@Connor-Hickling]

@optibotimus It was confirmed way way back that shockwave was to be the main villain in dark of the moon. I'm pretty sure it was to through people off from thinking sentinel was the main villain to keep it a twist when it was reviled in the film.

[@shifty0212]

I've been kinda luke warm from what I've seem of the DotM toys so far, but ole one eye here looks like a must have!

[@brains45678]

In the video game that 'terbine' is a power pack and his only weakness. And the pick is used to strike the gound, ironically creating a shock-wave.

[@ALYX9GSM]

i'm so getting this figure, he's such a monster. thanks for reviewing this!

[@spleenfreekstudios]

just found this figure at target today. and i am happy to finally get a tf figure with no loose joints

[@DanGrievous]

Nice review... love the Villain! Keep up the good work! PS: Nice Lighting!

[@aidanwelcker3794]

the blade on top of the gun makes it look like megatrons weapon in revenge of the fallen

[@SycloneFS]

@optibotimus I wouldn't say that there is no DOTM "deluxe" Megatron. There is a DOTM "deluxe" Optimus Prime. would make since if there is one of him to just not released yet or announced.

[@dieinpain1000]

to connect mechtech weapons to this, take it and put it in the hole where you put the blade in. works for every voyager.

[@NoWee5000]

Nice reviews man. Im super jealous of you... Im planning to get Shockwave, Sentinel Prime and the Wreckers.

[@ARMRStudios]

Local collector store has it without the original packaging for $30 USD Which is a steal at this point, totally getting it

[@ElaineClush]

In the vehicle mode, I plug the blade in his left hand like he's holding it, and it fills in the middle to make it look less empty.

[@Pktattooss]

The bio talks about him traveling through holes he has dug so maybe his alt mode is a lazer type of drill

[@combinerdude22lol]

I'm sure they'll add his little tentacle monster, even if it is just a scout size, I'm sure they'll sort something

[@DoctorSteamPhd]

Awesome figure but one problem: the cannon is on the wrong arm. In the original G1 cartoon, the gun was on his left hand.

[@transfandude]

@optibotimus understandable. thank for the explaination man. keep up those reviews I'd be sad if they stopped!

[@SeanJaffray]

I have my own being shipped to me as we speak! :) here's hoping that Canada Post does not go on strike, so I can get my hands on him sooner. It was your review that made me excited to grab him (as I also have a battle blades Prime, cannot wait for the battles to be had), but the one thing (and I may have missed other comments to the same) but he "tank" mode reminds me of the Tumbler in the recent Batman movies.

[@T3c4x3r0]

I think vehicle mode is so-so though I agree it's nice there is still a cybertronian vehicle decepticon. Robot mode seems to be great though. A win overall IMHO

[@CG_95]

@awesomebanzi technically the Driller is not his transformation, he pilots it as it was used for excavation work on cybertron

[@Actionfan19]

Optibotimus You have made me want to get Shockwave instead of Optimus, Thank you for your review and Shockwave is my favourite Transformer. Don't listen to people who give you negative Comments just because they can't do reviews like you. Your Reviews are really entertaining. Basically Shockwave is the Decepticons 2nd top secret weapon

[@ebmhead]

@optibotimus I found mine on release day around 3 PM. Maybe it has something to do with the area. I don't think Transformer collectors migrate to one area where you have to fight them off with a stick to get the guy you want. That sounds more like 1985 with the Cabbage Patch Kids craze. I know what your saying though. This guy is hard to come by but even last night I went to a local walmart & saw 5 shockwaves and 1 skyhammer. Like I said it could depend on the area. Great review! Keep em coming

[@dragz1224]

the first dotm figure i want to buy so far nice review

[@Cockonduty]

I have to admit, this figure is the best I´ve had. Only bad thing is his purple color.However, that can be fixed by panting the figure with something you like, like silver and gray.

[@123cliu]

This is actually one of the few transformers where the bottom doesnt look like a jumble of robot parts :D

[@AceMasta304]

So far this is the BEST DOTM figure I've seen period! Every other figure seems unfinished. Probably due to the horrible lackness in paint apps.

[@nere9073]

Wouldn’t make sense but it would be nice if he could transform into driller rather then into a tank.

[@autobotjazz1972]

LMAO@ Shockwave's alt mode being a Dyson vacuum cleaner looks great , makes 2 DOTM figures I will for sure get.

[@AdamCduerkes2]

I don't remember him transforming into anything in the move. Just taking pot shots at the autobots and yelling at his fellow decepticon allies in cybertronian. And having his pet wreak havoc in the city.

[@seaprime1230]

hey optibotimus i am gonna start reviewing transformer toys, you got any tips because your reviews are epic!

[@Spenceley]

Yeah, this is one of the few figures I want from DotM. There's that image of him out for the game showing him gray tho, I wonder if he's not actually gonna be purple in the movie. Hope he is, for sure. Decepticons could use some more color.
