Talk:The Transformers: The Movie
Hmm, that's odd. The version of the DVD I have has the scrolling text, the "Optimus Prime will return" voiceover, AND the part where Spike lets an "oh shit" slip.
Shockwave
Did he die or what? I remember hearing that the original script EXPLICITLY says that he died when Unicron crushed the building he was in, but the actual finished movie is considerably more vague about this... -hx 13:53, 16 March 2006 (UTC)
- According to the TFTM script:
ANGLE ON CYBERTRON
Unicron enters shot and grasps at Cybertron with a hideous claw...
ANGLE ON A TOWER ON CYBERTRON
Shockwave talks into a communications device, as alarms sound and troopers run everywhere.
SHOCKWAVE: Decepticons...we're under attack...Scramble -
Then his voice is cut off as...
SHOCKWAVE'S POV - OUT HIS WINDOW
Unicron's hand reaches towards the window, squeezes, and the walls crash in.
SPACE - UNICRON AND CYBERTRON
Unicron tears off the tower and crushes it as...
A FLEET OF DECEPTICON SHIPS
streak out of Cybertron and begin firing on the enormous planet.
Here, we see the true scale of Unicron. The fighters are the size of bees as they attack.
-- While Shockwave's character model sometimes appeared in the third season (once in grey, once in Constructicon Green), I'm not sure that a properly-colored Shockwave ever showed up post-movie - not that that would necessarily mean anything in light of Evil Zombie Brawn And Huffer from Carnage In C Minor. --Monzo 18:47, 16 March 2006 (UTC)
