just got a pic of the head so far but i am wondering if i should have him be able to transform. here is what i got update #1 9/8/11 added the base body will change if it needs to transform
Well to be movie accurate, he should transform into...nothing? Is that right, Shockwave didn't transform?
Ya I kinda thought that to but the head is still getting worked on Ya but I'm just going to try something out and if that fails I will make him not transform Thanks man True very true
Its still the character regardless, that's why we have the Dmk's revolvotech,pvc,robot heros, robot replicas,stealth force,rpms,etc. Shockwave didnt even transform in the first g1 season to much later in the show. Besides he doesn't transform in the movie so it'll be show accurate if he doesnt. Good start to your project, I wouldnt worry about an alt mode, how do you transform a pile of swords anyway?
If you want an alt mode, I would suggest a cybertronian spacecraft similar to TFTM Megatron, since I imagine that's how Shockwave would arrive on Earth in the first place. This also references his appearance in War for Cybertron as a jet, and his satellite cannon thingamode as Shockblast in Energon. I dunno, I just like the idea of him delivering death from above while floating in orbit.
Ah, something Encline said to me when I asked if his would transform, Shockwave in the movie doesnt even have any any treads,or wheels, he's a pile of metal with no clues to his alt mode.
