I've know people have talked about how Shockwave might be somewhat of a homage to Armada Megatron, but I have yet to see any ideas of what this mold would look like if it actually were painted as Megatron. I chose to use the Longarm face and just get rid of the monocle on top, it seems like a pretty simple remold should Hasbro actually decide to ever do this.
WOW! i was just thinking that the otherday when i was lookin @ My Shockwave/Longarm (Yess i have one, from EvilBay) K know im going to wait till they actully hit shelves soo i can doo this!
Please. Please. Customize this. Hasbro. Please god make this. That is one of the most beautiful things ever. Oh. My.God.
that is fantastic. i really dig it. and he could have a normal short arms and legs and hands nonwar mode. and then this mode as his ready to kick butt mode
That looks extremely sexy, if Hasbro did that (though calling it "Gigatron" to keep him seperate from Animegs) i'd buy that for sure.
This is a great fold for this character!Plus Shockwaves vehicle mode also looks a lot like Armada Megatrons!
Thanks. I think if someone were to actually do this, they could put it in a configuration between Longarm and Shockwave that would fit Megatron's physique pretty well. Doing so in a digibash: not so easy
This a great mold, and split-personality gimmickery aside, is a dead ringer for Armada Megatron. I find that his best-looking "mode" is sort of halfway between his Shockwave and Longarm configurations... with a face, and hands, but the antlers too, and without having all his limbs fully extended. A green Armada Megs repaint is practically a must! With his arms in "hand" mode, the forearm pincers can even extend, functioning as a vague reference to Armada Megatron's "switchblade". zmog
I've been contemplating this for a bit, and I think I've come up with a way to bulk 'ol Shocky up a bit! Just need a little cash to buy the materials and I'll be off and runnin'!
