If someone says it one more time I'm having Florina show up as a corpse. I'm not even kidding, I was pissed off with people doing that shit back in 2010, and I'm not dealing with it now in 2016.
That's the Blitzwing I remember. Super Armor on max and just endlessly in your face. On the harder difficulties, he moves even faster. It's like fighting a blur that hits like a truck

So far as I can tell, being able to create duplicates isn't one of Shockwave's powers in any continuity other than Devastation itself, but it may be related to all these "knock-off" Shockwaves that were around at the same time.

It's from the original cartoon's production bible.

I love the Shockwave fight, they gave him so much fun abilities to play around against, even the clones are fun to fight. And punching a giant laser gun is really silly. And as someone mentioned all the posing he does when dodging is great.
But this is the best part.

The guitars at 1:35 only kick in when you reduce his health enough for him to transform the first time.

I am very curious as to when Shockwave learned Akuma's teleport move.

I also find it interesting how bizarrely heroic his boss theme sounds, especially the Phase 2 variant. It sounds more like a background BGM that would play during a moment when the Autobots show up to save the day or something similar. Not the boss theme of one of the most calculating and sinister Decepticon commanders.

The timing on a lot of things is a touch goofy, especially things that involve the dodge mechanic. You kind of have to get in a groove and hit the grapple (B/O?) as soon as you get the dodge. Its also like getting the counter attacks post dodge - you have to trust that the dodge has worked and you will follow up with the counter, rather than just do an attack in bullet time. The window is pretty tight, but when you get it down, it feels so good.

That's what I like about this game: The combat reminds me of the Batman games where there is a rhythm to it, and if you can get into it, it just all go so smooth. And it looks good too.

It's probably clear enough from the video but Shockwave is pretty much a glass cannon, in that if you allow him to juggle you with the lasers and the clones he can destroy you with surprising ease. He was actually the boss I found most difficult rather than Blitzwing or even the Combiners.

As the only real robot (that matters) in a world full of people-bots, I have immense respect for Shockwave's total lack of competence.

I think it's apparent that while the Autobots and Decepticons were fighting on Earth Shockwave spent his time watching animesstudying Earth culture.

I think at this point it's pretty obvious what the evil dark influence that caused The Proudstar crew to go a bit mental is now, if you somehow didn't get it from the Info Logs.

So long as it isn't weird interdimensional zombies, I think we're all good. It could be a big-rear end Quintesson nobody's ever heard of or something rather than what it most likely is (I AM... UNICRON...), but that, Friendship, and Sixshot are all preferable alternatives to the IDW continuity evil.

They have managed to reach the rumored state of "fandom zen," where they recognize that the thing they love is totally crazy, prone to plotholes, animation errors, and what have you and are more than willing to call it out for it...and they still love it to pieces in spite of-and to an extent because of-those flaws.

It's loving inspiring is what it is.
