The Decepticons Show Their Faces in Chicago Once More...

he pic of soudnwave just about confirms he'll be in the fight on the ground this time... Any guesses on a possible alt mode?

Whoa, I didn't realize this earlier but Soundwave looks vicious! It looks like he may have some tusks jutting up lol. Where are Megs and Starscream? Did Shockwave and Soundwave jettison them?

dont want to be off topic what hapend to jolt is he in this movie? arcee will have to wait i guess have not or got any word or pictures if she is going to be in it or not

looking forward to ther bot modes and size comparison who will be voice for shockwave tha intersts me will shockwave have cannon for hand as all the other showvaes do?

Thank goodness!!! Maybe his voice'll be better this time too! He may just stay a triple changer like the game/toy. I wouldn't mind seeing him as a box car so I don't feel so weird about having a Scion xB lol

Soundwave has a mouth?!?!?!??!?! Has hell finally froze over?!?!?!? But hey, there's Shockwave, so what do I care if Soundwave has a mouth. But it still freaks me out. Just watch, it's gonna turn out that it isn't really Soundwave, but rather, Soundblaster. I'm on to ya, Bay....

I hope both Shockwave and Soundwave get leader class figures.

I also hope they're in the movie a lot.

With Shockwave and Soundwave appearing a bit more at these filming locations, I get the feeling that Starscream and Megatron have been Replaced/Killed/Baysploded

But ya. Shockwave= Better then Megatron

Soundwave =/= Starscream

Either way, I will be glad to see shockwave get Movieverse treatment. And with these two more prominent in the film, It is more likely that their toy incarnations will be given more thought

Or Michael Bay is just screwing with our minds

Soundwave most likely has a battle mode faceplate like Optimus does. If you look closely during Soundwave's speaking parts in Revenge of The Fallen, you can somewhat see insect-like mandibles underneath his faceplate.

Wow...that Shockwave face really does look phenomenal! Remember how Bay said something happened to the country so that Lennox and Epps were on their own...I wonder if that something was Megs and Starscream in Washington DC...that would explain their absence in Chicago...

If it just froze over from this, then Jose Delbo made Hell freeze solid back in 1988. Go back and read Marvels #40-50, so chilling that every -wave turns PURPLE!

OMFG!!!!!! Soundwave looks BA!!!! Shockwave looks ammazing! I really hope Soundwave gets AT LEAST a Voyager sized figure, but a leader would be even better, same with Shockwave

Can't wait for what thier bodies and altmodes willlook like

....Haven't thought of that. Yeah, I did notice that, so I guess it was expected. But it still shakes me to the spark chamber......

I'll just say what I said last time...

He didn't really have on in ROTF, why now? It makes him look kinda crazy...

But ShockWave looks awesome...

Nice. Both bot heads look great. Now lets start the speculation on thier alt modes! Here's hoping that at least Soundwave takes on an earth Alt mode.

Yes, that what wee need- more slobbery monster mouths. My excitement level has reached a fever pitch! If only there was some way to make them even cooler- I don't know- like maybe if they're only in the movie for five minutes and have a handful of lines... something like this:

Shockwave: The fleshling has the time machine! Soundscream, stop it!

Soundwave: ... What, what did you call me?

Shockwave: Soundscream. That's your name now. The film-makers figured it would be too confusing to have two "wave" characters.

Soundwave: That's never been a problem before...

Shockwave: Well, they tend to know best when it comes to things like this. Remember how they took your face plate away so the audience wouldn't confuse you with Optimus?

Soundwave: But he has a mouth too. A BIG one with creepy lips.

Shockwave: That's irrelevant.

Soundwave: And what about Starscream? Won't people be equally confused between his name and my new one?

Shockwave: Honestly I don't think either of you will have enough speaking lines in the final cut to even merit mention of your names, but if you're worried about your screen time, I suggest you take on an outlandish and somewhat offensive accent like that Autobot over there with the bushy head.

Soundwave: Oy vey!

Hell CAN'T have frozen over...the Cubs haven't won the World Series...

That would explain why Satan is in my living room hogging the TV...

Makes kinda sense that Soundwave has a different head here, remember the ROTF Soundwave head we saw wasn't his bot-mode head, it was just his satellite head.

I really like Shockwave... I want to see his body now and his alt-mode. Soundwave I think he would have an earth alt-mode.

I wonder why with movie designs for transformers there are so many diferences in terms of coolness... like we have awesome transformers but some really bad ones like the twins or einsteinbot the other day

I agree, shockwave looks epic! I WANT HIS TOY!

impressiveeeeeee

awesomeeeeeeeeeeeeee...

hope dey come out vit leader class figures for both

i just hope the movie is good this time.

LOL! Soundwave looks pissed!

is it just the art on Shockwave's face or does his eye actually light up on that face board thingy? i'm thinking if it does, it might just be to get the light reflection on object and/or people.

as for Soundwave, he clearly did have a mouth in ROTF but those mandible like thingies kinda covered it a little. he's the Predator of the Transformers universe i guess. :p

Bay really is screwing up a good thing with the ShW head. But I am glad Shockwave is in it.

I also am unsure what to think of Soundwave since he seems totally different than the read TF character. WHy not have his face resemble the Deception symbol and go into that? Duh Bay.

I like the idea of Menasour and the Stuntacons.

I hope that somehow the Dinobots make it into this one too. THat would be epic.

I also hope that SIlverbolt turns out to be something based off of the Beast Wars character and not just a jet from the Arialbots. But they would be cool too. ButI wonder since Bay started the whole Beast Wars idea with the "hatchlings" in TF2. He better finish his story there.

is it just me or is bay getting lazy? I mean for the first two movies it was alot harder to get hold of stuff like this but, now it's like bay wants us to see what he's doing! It just feels way to easy.

This is true.... Perhaps all the "filming" and "set locations" and "leaked spoilers" are just decoys while Bay works on the REAL movie behind closed doors!
I smell conspiracy!!!........ or I coulda had way too much caffiene and not enough sleep before getting online..... who knows....

Well, its kinda hard to hide blowing up all of down town chicago. I think Bay might have just realized that all the secrecy just isn't worth it. That, or he feels its just more fun to watch people speculate for the next 11 months.

I love it! Honestly, I'm very happy they're not trying to hide as much being I am getting a better perception of what to expect, which will in turn dictate my move going experience. Do I wan't to go all out and make it a party thing with my friends at the Arclight, perhaps see the movie props they'll have on display and just shell out $ for the whole experience. Or, do I want to just wait it out till there's no one watching it and the tix are cheaper and I'm just bored so I jet it solo and just sit down with a cherry cola and some cookie dough bites? As of now, I'm still undecided. I'm more excited that films like Sucker Punch and Pirates 4 will be coming out next year then I am this. So, keep up the eye candy Bay! Convince me to spend that cold hard cash ;P

As for soundwave, I'm happy this head is more true to the Josh Nizzi head created for the art verses the crappy beetle mouth head we got in the film. Even so, this new head seems to have more of a developed mouth which, I kind of liked the oroginal concept with no mouth really.

However, knowing producers and Directors alike (I'm not point blame to one or the other fully..yet, so don't get your panties in a bunch) they prob thought two robots with no mouth and glowing red sight mechanisims were too simular to be showcasing side by side...(Kind of like the reason they dropped Nightcrawler for Beast in X3, too many blue mutants they said ) which is total BS, but understandable. As for Shockwaves head, now that I got a better look at it, is it just me of does this look like concept art more then production art? Like, they didn't sign off on a design yet, but needed something for a place holder for filming, so they grabbed some random concept art. It's just, when you compare the art quality between the two heads, Shockwave looks underdeveloped. I don't think this is the final head design.

On the Don Murphy's forum appeared a picture of Megatron on a stick. So for the final battle we have Shockwave, Soundwave and Megatron - I guess the autobots will need a bigger help (combiner or Ultra Magnus).

I wonder what will happen with the toys. . .

I wish it would be movie accurate if the move characters are REALLY COOL.

If not, the toys must be cooler.

The Chicago shoot is getting so out of hand they can apparently feel it all the way up in Canada: CBC news at noon just had 30 second spot on it, but didn't show much except a skyscraper-top explosion.

I was expecting Megatron to be in the third movie, not a surprise.

I'm kinda hopeing that this Shockwave is true to the Marvel Comics version when he wanted absolute control of the Decepticons and he kicked Megatrons a**.

Megatron wrote:I'm baaa-aaaack

Probably what he's thinking right now.

Is it just me or Megatron's freaking face is the same from the first movie??

Is That Megatron's Old face ?


Maybe he gets his old Body back......


Or bay re-did him again

*All hope for a screen accurate Leader class meg's goes away*

-Star-

I guess they never made a place holder for ROTF and used the same since TF1.

Of course Megatron is gonna be in TF 3. Thats like if Optimus was never mentioned at all in TF 3.

no comment no matter what i say it will make sound like jerk so no comment on this subject

Dragons, your signature image is stretched!

Good to see Megz, but who thought he wasn;t going to be there?
Hope he's the one and only leader of the decepticons again, and not
following orders. Still, little less then a year to go. Hope I don't
get spoiled into expectations again, remember the Devastator spoilers
last time?

OK...so far in this final battle we have:

the three Autobot Nascars
Prime with Trailer
Ratchet
Ironhide
Sideswipe
the Mercedes Autobot
the Mysterious Red Jeep
Megatron's head on a steeck
Soundwave's head on a steeck
Shockwave's head on a steeck
Jose Jalapeno on a steeck

...wait a minute...something isn't right...

All in all, this is turning into a HUGE fight between HUGE robots...

O_O
It's his movie one head!
I liked that design alot more, maybe he went back to it?
(He DID do alot better against Prime in that form...)

That's o.k. dragons, I'll take the heat for you. Lot's of folks on here already think I'm a jerk so here's my comment...

I'm gonna laugh my a** off when the character that everyone is speculating as Shockwave turns out to be something entirely different. I mean, seriously folks, what on earth makes any of you think that just because the thing has one glowing eye that it's going to have ANYTHING to do with our favorite analytical G1 bad-ass. This is Michael Bay's TF universe. Now, I'm probably wrong, (wouldn't be the first time, won't be the last) I've been working long hours at a new job and likely missed the post confirming Shockwaves appearance in the movie. I really don't much care because the same general rule applies to ALL the speculation that everyone has just been running wild with. The truth of it all is, we've seen a lot of pictures, none of them in any real context, and the fandom really, truly doesn't know jack about what is actually going on but is instead making wild guesses and people are just running with it.

Hope that makes you feel better, dragons. Now you can make your comments and know that someone has your back and was willing to take the first bullet for ya.

...nevermind. lol

Then thee is the Easter egg in ROTF of a G1 Shockwave statue in a newspaper article. And I'm pretty sure that the "Shockwave" head is Shockwave, after all it looks like him.

Also Shockwave seems to have mandibles under his eye.

Was there any confirmation that Nascar Cars are autobots? I mean autobot symbol on side or something? Or is it just a wild guess?

Actually the picture with Megatron's head may be from the first movie. It was posted by a forum member on Don Murphy's forum so it is nothing official yet.

Albershide wrote:Actually the picture with Megatron's head may be from the first movie. It was posted by a forum member on Don Murphy's forum so it is nothing official yet.

Don't think so, I just remembered that the head seen in the movie was designed after the filming was complete and people complaint about his original face.
So this design must be left from ROTF as I think early concept art for ROTF Megatron had the same face.
