    If there's a Deluxe sized one in the ROTF line, I'll probably just get that and call it wonderful.

    WFC Deluxe. I think he'd look weird if he were really big.

    If they were going to go for a Classics Shockwave into an Earth-Mode, I'd say give me a Stealth Jet a-la Mindwipe/Scourge.

    I would like a WFC Shockwave, that would be neat.

    Alt mode wise, I think a jet or tank.

    WFC style figure, probably at the deluxe scale. This way he looks enough like his G1 self that people won't cry about it, but at the same time doesn't have a totally useless "gun" altmode because he did in geewun.

    I think WFC Shockwave is the greatest up date to the character. He's still essentially a flying gun.

    Chopper... do you mean a helicopter or motorcycle.

    I'm gonna assume helicopter- and that is a rather intriguing idea!

    He appeared in the first movie's game as an Apache, so it's not without precedent. Personally I'd like some sort of mobile, orbital weapons platform - a cross between G1 and Energon Shockblast.

    I would like Shockwave to be either a Voyager or Ultra size class, and Space Cannon would be nice for an alt mode.

    Just give us a reimagining of Energon shockblast with a more G1 gun arm and I'd happy.

    Enough with the Tanks and planes. Voyager sized cannon. Or Anti tank gun like:

    WFC Deluxe.

    What I'd REALLY like is a toy based on Shockwave in the first Movie game... The helicopter/gun turret triple changer. That was awesome. They could totally take that as a Voyager and G1ize it.

    A WFC Shockwave could easily double as a Classics Shockwave.

    That'd work for me.

    I like the idea of him being some sort of military hummer or prison-carrier type vehicle. Gives him a good deal of bulk and would have some weaponizing in vehicle mode potentially.

    Not so keen on the jet idea, but if done right would be acceptable.

    I just hope to hell we get one, he's one of the few, if not last big-name G1 Character to NOT get a representation in Classics. Springer and Magnus at least got repaints.

    Much as I love smaller characters like Straxus, Skullgrin and Thunderwing getting toys, it'd be nice to see Shockwave get a chance to shine in Classicy glory.

    Made by FansProject, iGear, PerfectEffect or TFC.

    That way it might actually be decent.

    I don't mean to sound like I'm trolling, but after reading several of your posts lately, I wonder if maybe it'd be best if you found a new hobby. You're clearly not enjoying this one.

    Something like that for me as well. Cybertronian form, with ground/rolling cannon mode, flying/orbital cannon mode, and undocumented hand-held cannon mode. :)
