Looks intriguing, but I still need to see 'bot mode before final judgement.

That grey thing sticking out upwards is the cannon arm's rubber hose.

Have seen te robot mode (pic on TFW).

Looks pretty good, I'm into it

Also I don't think that's anywhere near the right vehicle mod, unless the transformation is rotate shoulders joints so arms are in back, lie robot on stomach

Eh, looks too similar to ROTF Megs.
I'll wait for better pics before I make judgments :)

Surprisingly good. I love the ribcage - reminds me of D.Compose from Inhumanoids.

At least it's recognisable as Shockwave, but why oh why does Michael Bay still think Cybertronian means a weird crossbreeding of rocklords with skeletons?

:eek: Ooohhh.... I like the look of this guy - the only DOTM toy that's raised my pulse thus far. :p

Oh My God. It looks like Shockwave and one of the Invid did it.

I love it! Though it looks Voyager class, and not Leader.

Pretty lame Voyager - it looks more like a Deluxe.

This was the character that I was looking forward to most. I probably had high expectations for it considering the other movie toys have been so underwhelming I thought 'surely they couldn't stuff up Shockwave as well' (considering they were virtually working with a blank canvas).

The bot mode looks good but the alternate mode looks... well, bleh! I don't know why but when I saw the pic in the first post I thought of Scorponok :o

I'll probably end up picking this one up and I can safely say that it will be the only DOTM toy I will get - unless something really awesome comes out of left-field, but I doubt it.

I agree. The bot mode looks awesome. If I don't buy this it will be because of the ugly alt mode.

Like the bot mode, I will pick it up for that.

I am in the same boat, but if they do a new Soundwave and not just a repaint of the previous ones, I will buy him as well. But looking at it, this will be the only one I get.

:eek::eek::eek: Me tooo!!!! that was my first thought when I saw that!:D:D:D
Im buying this too and some of those human driven figures, but those rehash of the core characters, nada Im only gonna get new character figs... that appeals to me.

Atleast he has two hands and no stupid gun arm gimmick, looks like he will suffer from palms up Animated Starscream syndrome though unfortunately. Otherwise I iz loving it.

My guess would be DOTM Voyager Class Shockwave!
I want one!:D

I don't care too much for this guy's alt mode and I think the hose attachment kinda looks naff (granted that it's a nice homage to G1 Shockwave), but overall he looks great in bot mode - definite buy for me. :p

I know he was nothing more than a big flying space-gun in G1, but still...why does Shockwave always get such crappy alt-modes?
I'm sticking to my Animated Purplewave, at least he can turn into lots of not-really things instead of just one.

How big is he? / what size class?

Probably Voyager size

Interesting, at least he is not looking like a lame Leader toy like Leader Megs.

His ratcheted legs and lack of obvious lame sound gimmick suggest voyager class to me. If he is Voyager or smaller I will probably get him, but any larger and then I'll have second thoughts.

The first DOTM toy that I will be buying :cool:

It would be nice if he was packaged in bot mode. Maybe that's just asking too much...

Yeah, I hope so too, then we wouldn't even have to remove him from his box to display ;)

A bit behind the FB, FFN already posted these pics. But he does look good though, I will buy him if he looks that good when he comes out.

And 5FDP, most of the movie figures came out in bot mode anyway, so you may be lucky :)
