    Chip could easily come with Prowl. In a VERY early episode (his first appearance) he basically becomes Prowl's Headmaster temporarily.

    Could indicate Ironhide as well. Sits with him discussing ancient Roman gladiators in "heavy Metal War.".

    Didn't Chip Chase always travel in BumbleBee?

    Megatron with Sean Berger would be epic.

    The idea of having a fat, lumpy and weird hairdo man bundled with Megs kinda pleases me.

    Let's see what they have in store for us. I am just waiting for some nuggets to be shared my way.

    Without hesitation.

    He has to come with something to connect him to Megatron, most likely a the computer they always communicated through


    That would be cool, they'd need to include a stack of Energon cubes too tho.

    People always say they'll pay less until the figures out then they pay more than they have to to get it early. For Shockwave with electronics i would go up to 250, but of course i'd be happier paying less. But if they make one i know for sure i'll be getting 3, 2 for display and one for storage.

    Its red molded plastic but the window area, shoulders and forearms(?) have all been painted red on top of that as well,

    Wouldn't Chip Chase be more associated with Smokescreen? He did control him over the internet when Smokescreen was damaged. Pretty high tech stuff for 1984.

    .

    Space bridge? Hmmm, too unweildly. Though the light up eye gimmick is probably more apt for Shockers than any other fig.

    I agree with A) the communication screen/console he used to talk to Megatron (but with a classy looking Megs hologram the other end used to preview Megs V2, not some tacky sticker like the arm vent/communicator pics we got on Hasbro MP01!)

    B) There is also the thus far unmentioned possibility of the observation platform he's first seen standing/transforming on in the opening episode delivering the famous "Cybertron shall remain AS you leave it."

    C) My personal preference, to give scale to the lasergun mode and sit behind the target sight, is that he could come packaged with these guys, nicely scaled at minibot size ...


    [​IMG]


    Better still, they look like Cybertronian cousins of Reflector do they not?, so hell, why not just include him? Two birds with one stone like Soundwave + Laserbeak, and since TT Thundercacker doesn't look like he'll be happening and wouldn't scale Reflector's bot modes all that well, a sizeable Shocky in gun mode probably would if they were around the height of three Igear-ish sized minibots?

    Plus re: the target sight, both have a strong visual/eye theme, so are thematically connected. Shockwave with Reflector! I start the petition here!

    On the subject of high end decepticon accessories, I think Megs v2 should definitely come with his purple starcruiser throne so he can point-pose "after them!"

    That's a more manageable sized accessory, no? Who's with me?

    Speaking of accessories, whenever a MP Galvatron gets released, I reallllllllllly want it to come with a little urn or something that holds Starscream's "ashes." That's as much of a must for me as a matrix on a chain for him.

    TCracker posted a screen grab of the crushed crown at some point in the past.....Personally, i'd welcome that as an accessory.

    Shockwave only needs two accessories. I mini me version of himself to hold and his gun hand needs to be able to be swapped out for an actual hand as a nod to the animation errors in the cartoon.

    That's all.

    Actually, that was Prowl not Smokescreen who Chip controlled over the internet when he was damaged. Ep was Roll for It, S1. :)

    I would buy Shocky for an amount similar to MP-13's price...$200-250 is too much imo.Not really big on accessories so i'd be more than happy for him to come with a mini gun of himself and one or more of his little drone helpers.As for Chip,i'd love for him to come with either Wheeljack or Bumblebee cos then it means we'll be getting one of these two. :)

    MP Shockwave. Now that would be a welcome and important addition to the MP line.

    Accesoires aren't really important to me. A smaller version of himself in gunmode would be nice. But a space bridge or any of that stuff would only increase the price and won't be used. (Prime's trailer I have on display in repairbay mode, but Starscream's coronationset remains in his box.)


    To things are very important to me in a MP Shockwave:
    1) the extended barrel should not be a seperate piece but incorporated in the robot.
    2) I want him to be the same size as Prime and/or Megatron (when/if we get a v2). Don't know what size he was in the cartoon (and probably fluctuated anyway), but in the comic that really sold his character to me, he was the same size as Optimus.

    Raises hand, checks bank balance, sells kidney.......

    Seriously for an MP Shockwave, Yes!

    Edit: Mini Shockwave and light up gimmick would be pretty cool. Blimey this thread is fast-moving!

    Meh, Grimlock's light gimmick cost him the use of his right hand! Or maybe it was early-onset Nucleon poisoning...

    But with the original Shockwave being one of the few G1 toys to have light and sound it would be kind of a wasted opportunity not to add that into his MP. A light up eye as a bonus using the same electronics could be kind of cool.
    I'm a big Reflector fan, and while I'd love to see him Masterpiece'd, I think he deserves his own release. Plus those drone guys from Cybertron would probably only ever get a chance at any kind of release with a MP Shockwave, so I vote for them!

    Does anyone know if MP Soundwave will have the computer connection port on his left leg? I certainly hope so.

    I'm willing to go far for a MP Shockwave, but $250 because of unnecessary accessories might be too much.

    As for Chip Chase, didn't he have quite a few dealings with a deception?
