If Prowl got one, why not Soundwave and Shockwave?

The justification for making a Universe Prowl and an Animated Prowl was because their alt modes were so different, right? well, a Scion xB looks different from a tape deck. a tank doesnt look like a handgun (sorta), plus the Animated one has multiple other forms. so do you think they are different enough to warrant their own Universe toys?

There's already been a Classics Soundwave; Music Label Soundwave is pretty much the most perfect Classics soundwave we could get. He's not cheap or super easy to come by, but he fits the bill as a modernized version of his G1 self, and he even has minions if you want to shell out some extra cash.

They'd be stupid not to give us both Shockwaves, as one is a purple gun, and the other is white & blue tank...

Except that it would be hard to make an unrealistic purple gun as a Transformer, even IF it's unrealistic. Simply due to toy laws.

Though mind you I'm convinced that he's unrealistic enough to work, plus he has the benefits of being colored purple - but what do I know?

As for Soundwave, given that the new Ravage is backwards compatible I'm pessimistic about one of those. Though I'd love a new Rumble/Frenzy mold.

Personally, if they do make new Universe versions of Soundwave and Shockwave, I'd prefer they actually had vehicle modes. I've never been a fan of Object-formers. Hell, just change Energon Shockblast's giganto-arm, throw a coat of paint on him and he's a dead ringer for the original imo.

I'm not a fan of object formers either, at least not without a similar size alt mode toy to go along with the figure. (Take Megatron, I'd be OK with Megs if he came with a gun mode version of himself with the universal peg hole, so that any modern TF can hold him.)

Anyway, I'm all for Enegon Shockblast in a new color scheme with a new left arm.

I voted for Super_Megatron and all I got was this stupid user title.

since the line JUST started, it's way too early to complain about not getting certain figures.
