    Just had a look at him, he may just do the job if Cliffjumper doesn't make an appearance in PotP!

    On this topic though, a Generations Sideswipe and Bluestreak would be nice, too.

    I'd be down for that. Also repaint/new head for Brawn so we can get Outback.
    Then a proper Warpath instead of a repainted Megs. Throw in a new Windcharger and Tailgate while lm ranting lol

    I think we'll get a new CJ mold sooner or later as dual use for at least one more Throttlebot

    As these are interesting times, I'm not going to peg Rodimus Unicronus one way or the other. There is some "wiggle room" to label him a Decepticon and still claim there are no "new mold" Decepticon leaders as a corrupted Autobot. And if they don't label him a Decepticon, then the interview holds true either way.

    I remember getting the first wave of Combiner Wars by Christmas. But with the boarder security from Asia, it takes months to get to me now.

    I'm really hoping that the power of the primes Shockwave is a voyager/deluxe and not a leader class figure.
    I'd really want a Shockwave (as well as a Soundwave) that'll fit in with my collection.

    I would be into deluxe seekers, especially if they are a new sleeker mold. Wouldn't mind getting Starscream again as a deluxe, ....maybe coneheads (please hide their faces in alt mode)

    Shockwave is basically the only S1&2 character that doesn't have a real CHUG update yet, right? Soundwave and Blaster would definitely be better off smaller, but at least they exist (and there are somewhat decent alternatives with the FOC or Device Label figures, if you want).

    This is the first I'm hearing of a PotP Shockwave. When was it mentioned?

    It's based on the assumption that all nine of the Power of the Primes fan vote contestants are getting a toy of some kind. We don't actually know if this is the case, but I would say it's plausible.

    I would say it's absolutely speculation. With the exception of Primal they lost the fan vote, which doesn't endear them to new toys. Possible, but by no means likely.

    Since the recent Soundwave, Megatron, and seeker trio were all leaders, I feel like a Leader Shockwave would fit very nicely with them. However, that's just for my collection, obviously not yours. I feel like the seekers should be voyagers, but I feel like since we got leaders I might as well roll with it.

    I'd also like a leader Shockwave to stand beside my leader Soundwave and Megatron.

    And only have 3 leader seekers is a weakness in my CHUG setup. Need some leader coneheads.

    I've been on these boards long enough to know you stated that all wrong. You're supposed to list a size and then pretend everyone should want that size, too, and that it's wrong-headed to want Shockwave at any other size :D 

    I'd be fine at Shockwave at either leader or voyager class - my Starscream will probably* be the PotP voyager one, so I don't mind Shock being that size, too. I have an unsupported feeling we'll see Shockwave as a late wave voyager in PotP

    *As long as I can get at least the other two Seekers at that size class

    Shockwave solution- POTP Leader that lets you choose between slightly bigger than Deluxe sized Shockwave or Leader Class Shockwave Prime (that both happen to look like G1 Shockwave). :)
