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.
I use to have shockwave, and he was my favorite transformer I owned. But, my idiotic friend stole him and ripped him apart when I accidentally left him outside.
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.
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
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!
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.
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).
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.
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.
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.
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.
@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!
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.
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...
@optibotimus i love how you just describe everything of the figure instead of seanxlong who just tells how cool it is.you are truley awsome good sir i still thank you for the review on jolt keep up the good work!:)
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!
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.
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
Thank you, you've sold me on this guy now. I was on the fence with him. I like that, from what I've heard, that Shockwave is the main villain of the film.
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.
@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.
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!
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
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.
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 bad mouth you just because they can't do reviews like you. Your Reviews are really entertaining.
I never what was his vehicle mode,because he never Transformed in the movie. I love this version of Shockwave.He looks demon like with those side horns.
im chuffed i just got a voucher of ebay for 27 quid and got this guy for the same price for free, i cant wait to get my hands on him, what an awsome figure very g1 accurate too if reimagined in a high detail form, i always wanted a g1 shockwave when i was a kid but i actually prefer this guy, hes WICKED. your reviews are pure brilliance or as you say fantastic have a nice day optibotimus. you rock!
My son absolutely loves this toy, so I am getting it for his twelfth birthday, and I really wish that Shockwave transformed into a tank mode both in the movie and in the game. And my son thinks that if Shockwave came with his "driller pet," it would be too big because in size comparison, the "pet" is much bigger than Shockwave, and if they kept the size comparison in the toy, the driller would be as big as an adult person!😂🤣
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.
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
It would be cool if Hasbro does a studio series Shockwave. This figure looks good, but imagine how much cooler he would look NOW because the studio series rocks
This is only DotM toy that I have been waiting for and I like it. Fact that he is Shockwave would be reason alone for me to like him but I also like both modes. Robot mode is pretty nice and vehicle mode is unique.
This has to be the best DOTM figure, just by seeing reviews. Well thought out design, interesting transformation, and a mech tech weapon that actually blends in with the figure. They should try getting the last point right with the upcoming figures.
I know it must have been because Shockwaves original alt mode was a space gun and not an actual vehicle which caused the filmmakers to resort to just portraying Shockwave only in robot mode while riding the giant worm thing but I was really hoping to see an alt mode for Shockwave in the movie.
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.
Sad thing is, Shockwave never transforms in the movie and has the lowest amount of screentime
***** well that and because the annoying humans hog most of the Transformers' screen time
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.
Splash Effects I bet it won't be so easy if he was nice and new.
all of the decepticons are wasted in the movie
Tom Clark true, even Soundwave wasn't able to live up to his full potential
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.
+Isaac Wang Inaccuracy in a bayformers movie? NOOOOO!
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
FoongusAmoonguss _ no shockwave was confirmed to be 40 feet tall
Just wait for the ss one, i know they will, cuz THAT'S WHAT THEY DO!!!
@@ronaldorejalde3338 The tank mode was kinda ugly to me, hope this one is better! I want the turret to be in the middle, not the side.
Shockwave is my favorite decepticon
same
***** yeah since they kinda advertised him as the main villain
Preston Samson Mine Too,It's Only Logical
Soundwave Superior, ShockWave Inferior
Soundwave, that is ILLOGICAL
Preston Samson same
It is illogical to not include my fluffy worm.
yea which idiot left out ur snek
Richard Feng I bought you today
HEY MAN IF IT IS FLUFFY we should make a plush about the worm
Hey Shcokwave why do you have a yellow eye instead of a red eye?
I use to have shockwave, and he was my favorite transformer I owned. But, my idiotic friend stole him and ripped him apart when I accidentally left him outside.
DerpyAppleGaming Some friend
DerpyAppleGaming such a dick
DerpyAppleGaming did you kill them?
beat your friend's bitch ass body to a pulp
DerpyAppleGaming Punch him with brass knuckles that have spikes on each knuckle
shockwave looked so badass in all the promotion, but he was so wasted in the actual film
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.
WHAT DOES HE FEED THE THING
It would have been BADASS if the toy came with its pet worm with it!
I agree it would be badass. And his pet worms name is Driller. :)
It's actually THE Driller
TFCRAFTER "Driller-bot is thirty!"
I don't think it matters though
lol if it was to scale I think the worm would be as long as a car!
This may be my favorite DOTM figure...
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...
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
TwitchingFool0
Sorry i am not really good in eglish but you mean he come back in Transformers 4 ?
Josef Wiese TF= Tranformers
I know that ! But i dont understand many english words....
Josef Wiese like what?
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!
how shocking, he looks amazing.
OMG REALLY
I was disappointed that they didn't make a leader class Shockwave
Vbbm'',''mm bling tgtrtvyygtrrtttrvt
OptimusTheKnight15 k mm
his vehicle mode is absolute crap, but his robot mode is indeed amazing
If you look closely in the 4th movie, there is a human-made transformer that greatly resembles a two-headed Shockwave.
Shockwave is my favorite and I was glad to see that, KSI probably got a hold of the leftover body from DOTM.
I saw him fighting in the movie they recreated him
Mega Antonyo fighting hound lol he shot his cigar in one of their faces!XD
Rip shockwave head x3
+Ty Harrison it's actually a bullet. if you look closely, it's a backwards bullet in his mouth
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.
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).
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.

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.
***** rude
kAMI tRIO but barricade survived he is better in the movies not g1
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.
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.
Loke Ken Nee I know, it's unfortunate that we can't play as him.
Blackout has a turbine above his head. And it was iconic enough to make it into the Animated figure as well.
Worm attack that building unlogically and with no strategy. Oh look Optimus. I will- *dead*
@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!
It's actually a cybertronian tank of his own design
So that's why I saw two different tank styles between Megatron and Shockwave. 😂
I got mine 9 years ago and hes still good 🔥
We got ironhide, sentinel, and bumblebee, also jetwing optimus from takara, but we should've gotten leader class shockwave and megatron.
We’re getting both now :)
you can always paint Shockwaves hand to to truly make it look like his G1 design for his arm cannon
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?
It was his life partner
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.
The best bayformers figures are the DOTM ones. TBH I really like the bayformers
+Blaze Blockade agree with you
Wow the lighting really made shockwave looks much better
Your review is....logical
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...
He didn't even transform in the movie 😂
TheNormalPerson18 true
As if any of the other decepticons never transformed like Ravage, the Fallen, and Scorponok.
TheHiddenFlame lol
@@hideofreakingkojima5457 and the other half of the constructicons too
He is SO epic looking, love the paintjob, and backpack! For some reason the whole chest just looks amazingly detailed!
Can you get them in stores today?
I got mines today (11/2/14) at a swap meet for $10 complete!
CharDoesGames at toys r us thats where got mine 2 months ago.
deanna Rhodes sadly, toys r us is closing soon...
You can, but they're pretty rare nowadays, if you're not looking for some online
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!!!
G1 shockwave is the best shockwave
Agreed!
i disagree
how???
Astrotrain tfp is best shockwave. All hail dave robolov
I can disagree
@optibotimus i love how you just describe everything of the figure instead of seanxlong who just tells how cool it is.you are truley awsome good sir i still thank you for the review on jolt keep up the good work!:)
My only nitpick is that his arm - cannon should be on the left arm.
Maybe shockwave is right-handed so he is more comfortable
Actually, he's right handed
His gun is always on the left.
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...
Dwarfer225 Only in this universe he has a gun on his right arm.
I like it when Paul says "Really Kinda Cool" LOL
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!
Runestone's Reviews i am from the future.it's people like you that ruined transformer toy line
This is a *really* great figure. Exceptionally good-looking robot mode and very durable too.
he is so badass
"Why do you guys watch me?"
Because you're awesome! Thanks for all the reviews.
the most movie accurate transformers figure and also rampage in rotf as well...
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.
he' s cool. SHOCKWAVE nice name
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
SPOILER ALERT FROM THE FUTURE
(whisper) ...he wasn't purple... (whisper)
Thank you, you've sold me on this guy now. I was on the fence with him.
I like that, from what I've heard, that Shockwave is the main villain of the film.
sucks he never transforms in the movie
No shockwave doesnt sucks BAY sucks
J- Ryder13 I don't think he even speaks, even Bumblebee had more lines and he only uses the radio
His only line is "Optimus." which was from the beginning part.
Got this figure today and I have no real complaints. It's just a truly awesome figure.
I thought he transformed into a worm
Your so clever because he definitely does😞
Aaaahhhhhh
nah freddy no freddy
his pet is a worm(its name is driller😀)
***** ah yep
great review as always. Good to see a good version of Shockwave since G1.
Local collector store has it without the original packaging for $30 USD
Which is a steal at this point, totally getting it
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.

I was on the fence when it came to this guy but you've sold me on the new Shockwave.
I own 2 and I never knew the gun detached till I saw it here. Thanks!
Even the decepticons need to clean their base up
"Shockwave, this place is a mess. Clean it up!"
"Yes, mighty Megatron"
Man I wish I still had this one to set up next to the studio class slo for me lol oh rip to the hub best cartoon channel of all time
the blade on top of the gun makes it look like megatrons weapon in revenge of the fallen
@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.
Thanks for uploading 'cause Shockwave is my favorite decepticon!
absolutely the best DOTM figure i have seen, just awesome
The driller reminds me of the alaskin bull worm
I got mine for $15.00. It was on clearance at Toys'R'us because they were renovating. I've had him for a week and he's my favorite character.
I'm really glad they at least retained good paint on the figures that matter a little more than the rest
i like how they desinged shockwave with a mean looking rib cage
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!
i'm so getting this figure, he's such a monster. thanks for reviewing this!
the first dotm figure i want to buy so far nice review
I just noticed that the gun is super accurate. the mechtech feature is even the same as how shockwave loads his gun in the dotm film
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
just got this guy today. I love him, without a doubt my favorite Dark of the Moon figure I own.
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.
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 bad mouth you just because they can't do reviews like you. Your Reviews are really entertaining.
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!
I never what was his vehicle mode,because he never Transformed in the movie. I love this version of Shockwave.He looks demon like with those side horns.
I know this figure is old, but until now, this figure to me anyway still looked amazing!
im chuffed i just got a voucher of ebay for 27 quid and got this guy for the same price for free, i cant wait to get my hands on him, what an awsome figure very g1 accurate too if reimagined in a high detail form, i always wanted a g1 shockwave when i was a kid but i actually prefer this guy, hes WICKED. your reviews are pure brilliance or as you say fantastic have a nice day optibotimus. you rock!

just found this figure at target today. and i am happy to finally get a tf figure with no loose joints
Nice reviews man. Im super jealous of you... Im planning to get Shockwave, Sentinel Prime and the Wreckers.
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.
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.
FINALLY I GET TO SEE THE PACKAGE!!! Awesome review Paul. I am getting this one.
His hose goes in the middle when in vehicle form. The hole is behind his head. My favourite Decepticon figure.
Now this lived up to my expectations and exceeded them
i love this transformer. starscream is my all time fav and always has been but this is amazing. im definatly getting one!
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
man you really convinced me in buying this guy.
This is actually one of the few transformers where the bottom doesnt look like a jumble of robot parts :D
It would be cool if Hasbro does a studio series Shockwave. This figure looks good, but imagine how much cooler he would look NOW because the studio series rocks
This is only DotM toy that I have been waiting for and I like it. Fact that he is Shockwave would be reason alone for me to like him but I also like both modes. Robot mode is pretty nice and vehicle mode is unique.
Wouldn’t make sense but it would be nice if he could transform into driller rather then into a tank.
LMAO@ Shockwave's alt mode being a Dyson vacuum cleaner looks great , makes 2 DOTM figures I will for sure get.
@optibotimus understandable. thank for the explaination man. keep up those reviews I'd be sad if they stopped!
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.
i think you are an excellent reviewer optibotimus! very good job! keep it up
Why is there not a leader class for Shockwave?
This has to be the best DOTM figure, just by seeing reviews.
Well thought out design, interesting transformation, and a mech tech weapon that actually blends in with the figure.
They should try getting the last point right with the upcoming figures.
I know it must have been because Shockwaves original alt mode was a space gun and not an actual vehicle which caused the filmmakers to resort to just portraying Shockwave only in robot mode while riding the giant worm thing but I was really hoping to see an alt mode for Shockwave in the movie.
I mean, megatron even back in 2007 had a cybertronin jet mode.
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.
Nice review... love the Villain! Keep up the good work!
PS: Nice Lighting!
