Prof, you were probably too old back in the day to care to know this, but the Decepticons had hape-shifting technology that allowed them to shrink and expand within a given limit.

Too old? I used to sneak them to school in the 4th grade in my backpack. They never mentioned a damn thing about shape shifting technology and I bought the entire first season on DVD recently.

I have no idea if they mentioned it in the cartoon canon, but it’s definitely referenced in the transformers profiles inside the instruction manuals for the toys. Some decepticons like Megatron could change mass and volume within a given limit.
I’m like 32 but I can’t remember much about the Transformers, except the blurb
‘Transformers, Robots in Disguise’ and Optimus Prime, who was a truck ? right ?

You are all forgetting… Shockwave pwns j00. He’s the quiet bad-ass no one suspects.
Also I think I heard somewhere that Shockwave was the real Decepticon leader; or ruler of Cybertron… or something like that?
Shockwave wasn’t quiet if I remember correctly. I think you’re referring to “Soundwave,” Megatron’s right hand man, or cassette player.[/quote]
No, I am referring to ShockWave. Maybe he isn’t literally “quiet” (he wasn’t in the series much). All I know is he was pretty high-ranking in the Decepticon ranks and was just generally not discussed / featured much.
Looks like Panther1015 remembers and set the record straight.

Ah, this could very well be. I’m declaring Panther our resident Transformer expert.

We’re all experts in something - fitness, medicine, politics, transformers…

Shockwave was Megatron’s right hand man. He was the guy that stayed behind at Cybertron and ran the place in Megatron’s stead. God, I’m an uber dork…

I stand corrected. I bow down to your uber, 1337 intelligence.

LOL
I thought I was the only one that hid my dinobot’s in my backpack to take to school. That is, until somebody stole it during recess. The spanking and grounding for that was nothing like the loss of one of my transformers.
I thought Starscream was the second in command? BTW, did anyone else think that Starscream sounded EXACTLY like Cobra Commander on GI Joe? Had to be the same guy doing the voice…[/quote]
Starscream THOUGHT he should have been leader. But he never was, nor 2nd. He may have been 2nd in command in the “away team” sent to earth, but I don’t think that was even the case.
How’s this for Uber-dork… the voice actor you are talking about is named Chris Latta. He was both Starscream and Cobra Commander. All that info is right off the top of my head.

Raise your hand if you cried when most of the autobots died in the beginning of the movie. You know you did…
Man, I boohooed when Prime passed the Matrix to Ultra Magnus…I was 10 years old. First time I’d ever dealt with death in a movie. Then when my mom picked us back up at the movie theater, and me and my brother were crying it seriously freaked her out. She musta thought the old man selling us popcorn showed us his golden ticket or something.
thats a sad story i cried too.
Hahha, I laughed. I’m a D-con guy.
Screw you dude…you know Prime kicked Megatron’s ass…if it wasn’t for Unicron turning him into Galvatron…wait…jesus, I’m a dork…
Firt, Megatron whooped that ass. Megatron has Prime on his knees and at Gunpoint. Tron’s pride got in the way and he LET Prime hit him with that Double Axe handle…then he went on to tumble through all the debris. At least Megatron survived, Optimus knew he was gonna die and gave up the Matrix.
Look down Below, Autobot bitches
What about that cheap shot with the stalagtite to the radiator? Megatron always was a punk ass. Make them fight with Marquis de Queensbury rules, 12 rounds, we’ll see who get whooped. Better yet, let Megatron bite him off a piece of the REAL autobot leader, Grimlock…see what kinda skull-dragging that entails…
[/quote]
Yeah, and how about the slash with the light-saber? What all you “Decepticreeps” are forgetting is how it was Hot Rods ignorance that led to Prime’s death. Optimus whupped Megatron like the bitch he was, and then 'lil Dumbass jumps on Megatron. He had lasers on his arms, but he decides to try and wrestle him? WHAT? Prime should have just blasted them both. “Sorry kid, don’t be an idiot next time!”

Damn, NICE work. Now you’ve got me thinking back, trying to remember the voices of the other Joe characters…was their any more cross-overs? Destro perhaps? I know the two cartoons had to be produced by the same company…I even remember Cobra Commander making an appearance in an episode of Transformers one time.

shockwave wasn’t second in command long - he constantly betrayed megatron and was always trying to subvert him. soundwave was number two the longest.
