    Robot mode is the best of the beast hunters line so far. Alt mode screams "this is just something we had to force in just for the sake of it needing to transform into something."

    Which seems to always be the case with poor Shockwave.

    Funny, because I feel it works. It reminds me a lot of a Siege Mode of the Siege Tank from StarCraft, which would fit Shockwave being a "Really big Gun".

    Ditto that. The tank looks impressive.
    I'll bet a 'handgun' mode would be possible (but not necessary).

    Wow, looks great - thanks for sharing!

    I don't even mind the "beast bits". They look kind of cool, surprisingly.

    After DotM and FoC Shockwaves, I'm not really feeling the need for this one. Not that he's bad in any way, but all these Shockwaves are extremely similar to one another (one eyed, two horned, purple, giant arm cannon, vague alt mode; main difference is aesthetic), it's kinda boring. Meanwhile Starscream and Soundwave are *completely* different in DotM, FoC, and Prime.

    Prime Shockwave seems especially toy-etic, almost like a Toy Story character. Though it may just be he's superficially reminding me of Zurg...

    It's been available for a while, I think. It's posted in resources or in the thread that collected the stories in the Prime subforum.

    Works for me so far, though It will probably spend a miniscule amount of time in 'vehicle' mode.

    He looks radical. I can't wait to find him.

    I have to admit, I like both modes. He sort of gives me a KLF from Eureka Seven vibe. If I ever see this guy I might pick him up...

    He looks really awesome. I hope I can get my hands on him. Thanks for the nice pictures.


    Hey, I've been wondering this for a while; can both tank treads turn into the hose for the cannon? I'm just curious.

    I don't know if this has been asked, but does he come with the gun hose?

    Exactly! I knew I couldn't have been the only one thinking that, haha. He reminds me very much of the various LFOs' vehicle modes from the series, right down to the way the feet fold.

    Also, to OP, I can see that there are two folding pieces in the backpack that were are not folded out-- I think they're supposed to be his shoulder wings.

    Op, in your opinion, does this full the void of a classics shockwave?
