    I have FoC Shockwave and Energon Voyager Shockblast from way back when. I just use those. I don't care for the style of the Prime toys and Prime Shockwave just looked ugly to me.

    That was a cool idea.

    I'd be cool with a Classics version of Alternators Shockblast.

    Since FOC is effectively IDW Shockwave, it works fine for me.

    i think a proper voyager Classics Shockwave is one of the biggest holes left in the line, especially with how many random versions we've gotten recently. Prime is close, but a little too Prime-y,. Outside of Alternators, none has hit the mark for me, the FOC one is just terrible. (can't stand the gigantic gun arm and nonsensical lat mode)

    FOC is my Classics Shockwave until we get something better. He's not perfect but he's close enough for now. Needs some height and a cleaner weapon hand design. Otherwise he's good.

    I wish that FOC Shockwave was bigger.

    Leaning more now towards Prime Shockwave bc I love the robot mode. But after Googling, there's the US Prime, JP GO!, and the SDCC version. Oy vey....

    Anyone here have a gun fan mode for the Prime version?

    US and Go versions are pretty much the same except for the throw-away armor pieces.
    SDCC has better colors and a yellow optic.

    my Generations collection is 60% WfC/FoC, so FoC Shockwave is all I need until they do an MP. If there was an upsized KO though.....

    I'm using FOC, but with Cyclonus legs.

    I was considering the KFC shockwave, but he still is only deluxe, and his arm cannon looks fragile.

    I use the War for/Fall of Cybertron figures for most of my CHUG Decepticons, Shockwave is among them, but also Megatron (until I get the Combiner Wars Leader), Soundwave, Skywarp and Thundercracker. I used to have Starscream on my main display as well, but I like Thrilling 30 Armada Starscream more, so I switched them out. It's really just Starscream, Cyclonus and Blitzwing who aren't War for/Fall of Cybertron figures at the moment.

    My "chug" display doesn't have a Shockwave currently. I do like the FOC design, though my WFC/FOC figures are displayed with all of my 3P combiners.

    Also solved this problem with a custom Voyager Shockwave using the Energon mold and some extra bits. He looks great next to ToyWorld's Hegemon.

    So those arms are from Classics Megatron, right? I'm thinking I'm going to do a custom with an Energon main body. Classics Megatron arm for the right arm, and the extra Quakewave cannon on the left arm, and the quakewave hands.. Think that'll be damn near perfect.

    Energon Shockblast, still. Unfortunately there just hasn't been anything better that's come down the pike to use for a Classics-style Shockwave. Prime BH Shockwave, DotM Shockwave, Alternators Shockblast and 3rd party Quakewave don't have the right aesthetic to fit with a Classics-style collection. FoC Shockwave has the right look but is far too small. I thought that MMC was going to release a Classics-style Voyager Shockwave, but that turned out to only be a teaser for their (now cancelled) version of Quickswitch.
