Talk:Shockwave (WFC)

Steve Blum Voice Credit

What is the source for Steve Blum being Shockwave's voice actor? -- Servitor 2152 01:01, 5 July 2010 (EDT)

He's listed as such in the DS game's credits. Not sure about the console/PC version. --abates 01:56, 5 July 2010 (EDT)

Was that Corey Burton voicing him in the commercial? Ratbatman 22:05, 29 July 2010 (EDT)

Apparently, it was Burton in the commercial. Don't know why the developers said they got a soundalike... maybe to mess with us. --NCZ 23:59, 15 September 2010 (EDT)

The Fall of Cybertron launch trailer sounds like Victor Caroli's doing his voice. -- Dark T Zeratul 17:44, 17 August 2012 (EDT)

No, that is defintely Steve Blum's voice. Victor Caroli is not involved with this game, nor was he with the first game. Steve Blum voiced Shockwave (and the narrator) in WFC, and is reprising his role in FOC. --Sabrblade 17:54, 17 August 2012 (EDT)

Then Steve Blum does a spot-on Victor Caroli impression; it sounds just like the old commercial bumpers. -- Dark T Zeratul 19:03, 17 August 2012 (EDT)

That is the power of Blum. --Sabrblade 20:31, 17 August 2012 (EDT)

Prime Cartoon

I saw that at the end of Shockwave's Hall of Fame video it showed a few seconds of a Prime style Shockwave in a future episode. Shouldn't we mention that?

On a side note, is it fair to move this to (Prime) anyway as part of the Aligned continuity?192.249.47.177 11:34, 17 May 2012 (EDT)

Pages only go under (Prime) if they appear the the TF Prime franchise, it's not a catch-all for Aligned things. I guess this will get moved once he appears on the show, since I think we're ignoring the usual 'first franchise they appeared in' rule with Prime to avoid confusion.

Alt Mode

Is the alt mode for the Shockwave figure featured anywhere in fiction or is it exclusive to the toy?68.63.100.204 20:11, 12 August 2012 (EDT)

It's featured in the video game in which he debuted, and from which his toy takes its likeness. --ItsWalky 20:43, 12 August 2012 (EDT)

I thought he was a jet in that game. Did he have another alt mode at some point?Riddlerj 11:52, 13 August 2012 (EDT)

The toy is a jet. --ItsWalky 13:25, 13 August 2012 (EDT)

He was a jet in the game, and the toy turns into that jet, even if the packaging describes it as a mobile artillery mode, or something. Jalaguy 12:09, 13 August 2012 (EDT)

Shockwave's Arm

Worth noting, I looked up the cutscene where Grimlock ripped Shockwave's arm off, after comparing it to his laser cannon arm and noticed the entry incorrectly states it is his right arm that gets torn off when it is in fact his left. -- Jase1505 23:25, 2 September 2012 (EDT)

I think you're right, per http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i5vK8CCBUKc. Excise 21:40, 31 January 2013 (EST)

Dude.....its shockwaves left arm that gets torn off.....the right one is one the control panel

"Prime" Alt. Mode

I'm not sure if it's just my eyes playing tricks on me, but Shockwave appears to have tank treads, or atleast large tires, as kibble. Most notable when his foot first appears in-frame. The back of his heal seems to be a tire. Worth noting, as his alt. mode in Fall of Cybertron is a jet? RazorSlash 20:49, 2 September 2012 (EDT) Maybe he just switched forms with soundwave as soundwave is a jet in prime?

Should be left the same

Most characters who first appeared War for Cybertron who are now regular characters in Transformers: Prime have the "(Prime)" tag at the end of their article title. Shockwave will be a regular character in season 3 (as far as we know) so it should be left as is. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Emperor of Terror Scorponok (talk • contribs){{#if:| {{{2}}}|}}.

Doesn't matter. Much like Sideways (RID), it's the franchise he debuted in that gets the disambig. Bumblebee, Prime, Ratchet, etc all also have move tags to move them to the WFC versions. --Detour 21:43, 14 December 2012 (EST)

Beast Hunters Shockwave image

Salute!

Not really sure what to do with this, so I'll just leave it here in case it's needed. Inkblot 07:51, 24 February 2013 (EST)

We should make this the main pic. SoundWave 18:43, 7 October 2013 (EDT)

No, we really shouldn't. It's really freaking terrible. Escargon 18:46, 7 October 2013 (EDT)

Maybe we could at least add it to the end? SoundWave 18:50, 7 October 2013 (EDT)

Technically, our guidelines state that the main pic needs to be a Body shot of the first form. So it should be WFC/Foc shockwave up top anyway. Kuptrion (talk) 11:01, 23 April 2014 (EDT)

We don't always treat this as a strict rule, or Shockwave (Movie) would have a different main pic too. --abates (talk) 16:54, 23 April 2014 (EDT)

Battle Tactics

The "Battle Tactics" bit mentions that Shockwave "never made it into the game". Is there a source saying he was planned before the game was shut down? Otherwise it just seems like speculation. RazorSlash (talk) 22:35, 18 January 2017 (EST)
