Now I want to see Submarine-Mode with an upside down Bruticus. "Meanwhile in a parallel universe where giant robots are seen as too violent, the 'monkey hanging upside down who happens to be made of military vehicles' is ready to attach to your boat! Don't hold it the wrong way!"


The multi-Shockwave pic needs more Shockwave. And cowbell...

"And now, I, Shockwave,, using the power of Shockwave, will go back in time to kill Shockwave, thus clearing the way for Shockwave to take Shockwave's place to rise Shockwave to the position of Shocka-shocka-boom-boom-pow-pow-"

"Don't panic, I've called an ambulance for you..."

You ever see those cosplay groups where everyone puts a lot of effort into it and one girl who barely gets the concept winds up getting all the attention?

 

[Sabrblade]

Do we have images of Shockwave’s cannon mode? All I was able to find were pics of Bruticus’s using him as a shoulder-mounted submarine.

Is that not what his cannon mode is, tho?

 

[unluckiness]

Nah, that would be as stupid as wielding Sixshot in submarine mode upside down like some form of projectile weaponry.

I dunno, a lot of people seem to find upside-down submarines to be pretty schway.

 

[CoffeeHorse]

Imagine being the guy who pitched the submarine mode to the legal department, and they actually said yes.

 

[Steamed Hams]

I'm seein' double! EIGHT SHOCKWAVES!

 

[LBD "Nytetrayn"]

^Yep! I was planning on displaying the older Lil' Shockwave in blaster mode with Bruticus instead. That Viper was so much fun (and I like lil Powerglide, too).

New Combiners can't hold him, though. At least, that's what I was told when I asked, I think somewhere upthread.

 

[unluckiness]

If you really want to, you could cut the front peg on CW Shockwave off. IIRC CW Shockwave can’t be held because the handle peg and the dedicated peg for attaching to CW Onslaught’s vehicle mode are too close together.

 

[Andrusi]

Worth noting the more recent Legacy Core Shockwave (the one with the satellite dish accessory) can also be handheld.

This is probably enough Shockwaves.

I'm disappointed to realize this is only about three guys. Get some Cyberverse in there!

 

[Gizmoboy]

I will trade someone my original DotM Shockwave for a Cyberverse Shockwave, if anyone is interested.

Oh, but you see, I'm a customizer. And you know the old saying, "where there's a customizer, there's a way"! In all seriousness though, I'm not super worried about it. Even if I just have to rest Shockwave in his hand or arm, it will just be to dislpay for a pic or two.

 

[The Mighty Mollusk]

Bruticus gives up on using Shockwave as a gun and just starts clubbing people to death with him. Shockwave will be very upset about it once everything stops spinning.

You jest, but isn't that just more in-character for Bruticus, using a blunt instrument as a weapon instead of a blaster that calls for more strategy?

 

[lastmaximal]

Shockwave are all dead.

A gun's strategy is "point that way and make things go boom," which I'm pretty sure Bruticus can handle.

Fast-moving targets up the difficulty.

 

[wonko the sane?]

Bruticus fires shockwave: misses

Bruticus fires shockwave: misses again

Bruticus fires shockwave: misses third time

Bruticus roars, throws shockwave: hits

 

[Superomegaprime]

Shockwave fires again: hits target: Bruticus

 

[Platypus Prime]

So that's why we don't see gun-mode Transformers anymore. They were all fired.
