Looks like some type of Satellite laser or maybe a blaster like the orginal.
The bunnies, they give me knowledge it is neat.

Submarine maybe?

Really quite hard to tell, I'm more concerned with when he'll be released since I'm definitely buying one.

I'm going to laugh if he transforms into a gun of some kind.

Uhhh.. what is it? It looks like something like Tidal Wave or something... I don't think it could be a gun due to all these regulations and all... i mean.. look at Armada Laserbeak.. they had to fight just to make it into a taser gun.. and then.. it had to be yellow instead of the black, red and blue pictures in the catalog.. gah.. stupid.. stupid.. stupid.. Thats why I like Japan.. heh heh.. Megatron.. heh heh..

it is true that for some reason his hand has a very tidal looking piece, it most likely will turn into a gun of some sort because many a riot will happen if they have this soundwave (i refuse to call him byt this idiotic new name) not turn into a gun. Hasbro also needs ALOT better lawyers to keep names, or else were gonna have TF's with more names than P. Diddy:rolleyes:

To be perfectly honest, I don´t care what he transform into. I´ll buy this one because of it´s robot mode. A little bit less green would help, IMO.

It's one thing to bitch about a TF name. It's another to bitch about a TF which looks a bit like an old TF not having exactly the same name. It's yet another to screw the name up completely yourself...

So he looks like Shockwave -- big deal. Energon's got nothing to do with TOS. Get the **** over it already.

Transformers.com's Energon section has a Shockblast section here:

No bio or toy picture yet, but there's a cool comic-style rendering and the tech specs "power grid" online.

Here's hoping he turns into a blaster. If he is as sci-fi looking as the last shockwave, it should be fine.

I sincerely doubt he turns into a gun. At least, not exclusively. He seems to have treads of some sort on his legs.

But he looks like a Vorlon, so I'll buy him no matter what he turns into...

He either turns into A) Train(unlikely) B) Submarine (Possibly, we saw Mirage as a Battle Crusier) C) A Jet (this is my second bet) or D) A Satellite(Bingo was his Name-o)

My guess is that he is a Satellite. He would be the 'Eye in the Sky' guy for the decepticons, always keeping an eye out for danger, and see things that he could use to his advantage. Its the logical choice to me.

I hope he doesn't become a satelite. That would be kind of lame.
