Interestingly, in Bud's stories Shockwave preferred Buzzsaw, while Megs always used Laserbeak.Bouncelot wrote:Laserbeak and Buzzsaw did spend a fair bit of time hiding in Soundwave's chest compartment (presumably as emergency back-up) as well. Maybe they rotated jobs between sitting on the leader's shoulder and sleeping inside Soundwave.
Just thought, surely that still breaks the 'no mass conversion' rule. I mean, if he could still shrink then a mobile phone would be better - repace Spike's phone and listen in on the Autobot's plans. But then, what would Ravage, Rumble et al be? Sim cards?Kup_1 wrote:He's gonna be an I-PodMetal Vendetta wrote:Last I heard, Soundwave will be in the movie, but no-one knows what his alt-Mode will be.
Hmmm, how about a home theater system?

No, we need a non-mass conversion mode for old Soundy.
Is it truly 'written in stone' that mass conversion will not be in the movie?Autobloke wrote:Frankly, I think that the filmmakers are stupid for not allowing mass-conversion. It's a big part of the TF universe and most of the favourite G1 characters are size-changers.
I say we demand mass-conversion, dammit!
I'm certain I read it on one of these forums or in an interview. Hopefully it IS a mistake though. Perhaps the filmmakers may read these sites and have cause to reconsider.Kup_1 wrote:Is it truly 'written in stone' that mass conversion will not be in the movie?Autobloke wrote:Frankly, I think that the filmmakers are stupid for not allowing mass-conversion.

Unfortunately I'm fairly certain that I read there wouldn't be any combiners in the new movie either. Not for the sake of believability like with the mass-conversion thing, but 'cos the filmmakers want to keep the cast of 'bots small - like seven Autobots, seven Decepticons, and gestalts would eat into that character allocation.ShadowSonic wrote:They have to fix Motormaster though, seriously this guy is either one small truck/trailer or he should be the size of a gestalt or something when he transforms, not the same as Prime.
