VW wanted nothing to do with the movie hence the change of Bumblebee’s car form. Blame VW not the directors.

That just seems like a really dumb move on their part. Are they really that disconnected? Even if this movie sucks, getting your product seen helps sales. I’m sure the Ducati Monster is doing alright after the Blade movies.

No Soundwave??? I don’t know what to think about that shit.

I don’t know which is worse, no VW or no Soundwave. At least they have Starscream. Loyal, loyal Starscream.

Fuck the VW I wanted Soundwave. They have Frenzy, who’s his cassette, but not him. I read that they gave all of Soundwaves scenes/lines to Frenzy. Frenzy is the litte fucker that uses jackhammers to disrupt shit. He’s go an attitude.


Where’s my fuckin’ Soundwave! Although my fave is Starscream!

Haha, I’ve been watching the DVD of the old TF to catch up.

I am hoping that they are just saving him as the “OOOOHHH SHIT!” moment in the movie, because it just seems down right retarded not to have the main man Soundwave in the movie. Also I would rather it be Rumble than Frenzy. I know there isn’t much difference between the two but Rumble had way more screen time in the cartoon than Frenzy.

It’s cool that Optimus will have the same voice, but if Starscream doesn’t have that awesome, high-pitched lisping shriek, then I’m gonna be pissed.

I just remember loving the fact that Cobra Commander and Starscream had the same voice and the guy didn’t even try to make them different in the slightest.

P.S. - Soundwave was cool, but Shockwave? Now, Shockwave was my motherfucker.

It was the same voice as Cobra Commander, wasn’t it?

Yeah.

Since Scatman isnt around anymore. I think Busta would be a good voice for Jazz.

I understand that many people love Soundwave, but was I the only one put off by the cassette thing. I mean, advance robot tech and they use a frickin cassette to record? I don’t know, it always seemed strange to me.

I wonder if the movie is a success, what the next toon from my childhood they’ll try to make into a live action. Thundercats? Voltron?

Because there were CD players and iPods in mass production when that show came out?

WTF is the fasination for Shockwave? What was he going to transform to? A TivO?

I’d love to see Thundercats.

SOUNDwave was Megatron’s #2 and the most intelligent Decepticon. SHOCKwave was Megatron’s gun and I dont care for him.

I’d agree for the most part, but the new GTI is pretty sweet.

They could’ve made Soundwave an MP3 playing cell phone and have sim cards be the cassette robots. I’m just sayin…
