"Can't believe I'm getting my ass kicked by an old man" Well, when the old man is essentially equipped with telekinesis among your species, I wouldn't necessarily be *too* befuddled...
Shame animated didn't get to finish. It had such a unique take on many norms of the franchise that I wish was expanded on not counting to books I still haven't tracked down.
Season 4 had great ideas for its first episodes. The team had an interview where they revealed them, amongst other things bringing Tripticon into the mix. B)
I like how his color scheme doesn’t always match his robot mode. Sometimes he’s shockwave in long arm colors, and right at the end (if I’m not mistaken) he’s in his long arm form whilst having the shockwave color scheme. That’s a nifty detail.
I was gonna say he couldn’t control his color, and was always in Longarm colors until he got a repaint after he never planned on being Longarm again, which is consistent with those final moments. That being said, the Arcee scenes where he changes color in front of our eyes completely invalidate this and I forgot about them entirely.
Does anyone else notice that at the exact moment Bulkhead punches Shockwave he reverts to the colors he used as a spy? Because once you realize it you can't stop yourself from laughing.
I just showed this to my dad he said “why does he have antlers?” and now I can’t stop seeing Shockwave as a Cybertronian stag 😆 it explains why he often looks like a deer in headlights
I kinda wish that was intentional because that would make sense seeing as he's often caught off guard when people get suspicious of something or are close to finding out his true nature.
@@wee-ba-noob5740 I love them both. But yeah, in Animated there are less moments and episodes where Soundwave is. It's not that disappointing, but... It is (for me).
@@wee-ba-noob5740 Yeah, Animated Shockwave does have Soundwave's traditional job, but what he was doing to Arcee reminded me of Shockwave's science background.
Honestly though, I really liked this character. He even learned from his early mistakes by being much more careful about when where and how he communicated with Megatron, and kept his cool much better at first. The problem was that he had a starscream moment (aka acted like an egotistical idiot) and BLEW HIS GODDAM COVER FOR NO REASON. Then it became a hot mess because he knew that if at any moment anyone got in contact with Optimus' team and came back his cover would be blown immediately, so he became overly stressed and over-defensive as a result.
I'm just impressed how well they captured Shockwave's personality and even put him in the spot Luggnut wanted to be this whole time. That's good drama. Not to mention Blurr also.
The way he killed Blurr after having ran across the galaxy like that devistated me as a kid...it's a shame the episode where Blurr was revived was never fully produced since Season 4 was cancelled

I think I'm starting to notice a pattern here.
Ok, but imagine if this concept was done justice in the future. Rather than trying to rise to the top of Autobot communications (a position that naturally attracts a LOT of unwanted attention) Longarm could instead be some low rank scientist working in Weapon Research and Development as a cover to leak information to the Deceptions on Autobot technology strengths and weaknesses. It would also give him an excuse to tinker and develop his own weapons that could then be later used for the Deceptions. What would make this a VERY interesting possibility is that as going Undercover as Longarm-Shockwave could be treated with respect by colleagues, teach and learn from others, even develop friendships that could either force character development and cause him to betray the Deceptions or will deeply hurt his colleagues (and potentially himself) when they learn the truth. This could be a fun, unique direction for the character that has mainly just been a logical, cold, war criminal scientist. Sadly, I doubt this will ever see the light of day as a lot of Animated’s good ideas have been mostly thrown in the gutter: The seekers being Starscreams clones that are facets of his personality was abandoned; Protoforms turning humanoid was never used; more glimpses into non-aligned characters like the Constructions, Swindle, Wasp, or even Blackarachnea to an extent-never came back in a meaningful way; etc. The only major idea from Animated that was reused is the Allspark, a mcguffin that could do whatever the plot wants, is kinda a shame.
Los autobots nunca la perdieron ellos estubieron muy por delantey megatron lo explica mejor , los Decepticons siempre estuvieron en desventaja , los autobots tenian un gobierno muy perezoso y corrupto este viene desde antes de ultramagnus y terminan con el , los autobots despues de la guerra quisieron lavarse las manos de las cosas nefastas que llegaron a ser ( por eso nadie quiere recordar a los decepticons ) por eso fueron tan "descuidados " y no veian a los decepticons como una amenaza despues de la guerra los decepticos eran mas como una leyenda hurbana para los autobots en la actualidad
I kind of hope they revisit the “man on the inside” idea sometime again. Also fun fact Corey Burton personally requested that Shockwave’s role in the series be expanded.

5:09 “oh for spark sake” fav Megatron quote ever lol
Ok, but imagine if this concept was done justice in the future. Rather than trying to rise to the top of Autobot communications (a position that naturally attracts a LOT of unwanted attention) Longarm could instead be some low rank scientist working in Weapon Research and Development as a cover to leak information to the Deceptions on Autobot technology strengths and weaknesses. It would also give him an excuse to tinker and develop his own weapons that could then be later used for the Deceptions. What would make this a VERY interesting possibility is that as going Undercover as Longarm-Shockwave could be treated with respect by colleagues, teach and learn from others, even develop friendships that could either force character development and cause him to betray the Deceptions or will deeply hurt his colleagues (and potentially himself) when they learn the truth. This could be a fun, unique direction for the character that has mainly just been a logical, cold, war criminal scientist. Sadly, I doubt this will ever see the light of day as a lot of Animated’s good ideas have been mostly thrown in the gutter: The seekers being Starscreams clones that are facets of his personality was abandoned; Protoforms turning humanoid was never used; more glimpses into non-aligned characters like the Constructions, Swindle, Wasp, or even Blackarachnea to an extent-never came back in a meaningful way; etc. The only major idea from Animated that was reused is the Allspark, a mcguffin that could do whatever the plot wants, is kinda a shame.
Ooh, I'd really like that plotline.
This man can't lie for shit, and somehow got all the way to Chief Intelligence Officer. No wonder the Autobots were losing the war.
Los autobots nunca la perdieron ellos estubieron muy por delantey megatron lo explica mejor , los Decepticons siempre estuvieron en desventaja , los autobots tenian un gobierno muy perezoso y corrupto este viene desde antes de ultramagnus y terminan con el , los autobots despues de la guerra quisieron lavarse las manos de las cosas nefastas que llegaron a ser ( por eso nadie quiere recordar a los decepticons ) por eso fueron tan "descuidados " y no veian a los decepticons como una amenaza despues de la guerra los decepticos eran mas como una leyenda hurbana para los autobots en la actualidad
I like megatron reaction at 5:10
Megatron, what did you see in this guy? You should have sent Counter Punch, I trust that guy
Oh realy * working and my own transformer in abandoned werhouse*
Just as much as the Autobots trust Punch?
@@zafool4997 I don't know why the autobots trust Punch, he always seemed shady
@@decepticonleaderstarscream6551 what if i told you those two were the same bot?

I’m actually glad that Corey Burton got to reprise his role as Shockwave.
The crazy thing to think about is if there WAS a Longarm, but Shockwave killed him to steal his identity. It really makes you think.
2:54-and longarm/shockwave actually (kinda?) did that
This Shockwave definitely has emotions, unlike the one from Prime.
I kind of hope they revisit the “man on the inside” idea sometime again. Also fun fact Corey Burton personally requested that Shockwave’s role in the series be expanded.
I love all the characters from this series. The casting was perfect.
I bet shockwave was sweating buckets when bumblebee mentioned the spy
3:57 shockwave is like thor in that scene
Violets are blue,
roses are red:
"Can't you shut her up?! She makes Blitwing sound like he's got his head screwed on straight!"
Interesting fact here - when I watched TFA with my little cousins (6 and 4 at the time)... Shockwave _creeped them the hell out_ .
He was badass when ı was a kid. And he is still badass now. "I dont think he would mind".
Longarm prime!?!?!?!?!
Prime is a rank giving to multiple bots in this show.
It's honestly a really cool idea that I hope gets used again.
In Animated, the Prime title is given to leaders of different divisions and teams
50 years cybertron= Prime
It denies all logic.
0:12 if you listen closely, you can hear shockwave’s voice getting nervous, he’s become nervous when bumblebee said there was a spy, and he’s getting hesitate when asking the question, like he got nervous that bumblebee figure it out
Not even closely hes obviously just “well shit”
probably the only version of shockwave that has two hands
You know Shockwave the good imposter doesn't change the fact that wasp became a decepticon
You thought it was Longarm, but it was I SHOCKWAVE!
