What is the Best?

[Darth Conlan]

What is the best Optimus Prime, Megatron, Soundwave & Shockwave to go with your collection of classic/deluxe/universe transformers?

[Gutsman Heavy]

Classics/Henkei Prime
Henkei/United Megatron
Device Label Soundwave
G1 Shockwave (maybe Energon Shockblast/SL Laserwave, who I'm selling *hint*hint*)

[Vector Prime]

Yeah pretty much what Gutsman said:

Classics/Henkei Prime
Henkei/United Megatron
Device Label Soundwave
G1 Shockwave (maybe Energon Shockblast/SL Laserwave, who I'm selling *hint*hint*)

I use Energon Shockblast as my Classicverse Shockwave

Classics/Henkei Prime
Henkei/United Megatron
Device Label Soundwave
G1 Shockwave (maybe Energon Shockblast/SL Laserwave, who I'm selling *hint*hint*)

How much and what does he look like?

IIRC Energon Shockblast retailed for about $40-45 and he looks like this.
G1 Shockwave was never sold in Australian stores... although I got my complete loose G1 Shockwave for $90. When it comes to G1 Shockwave, beware of fakes.

Also be aware that technically neither toy are actually part of the "Classicsverse" lines, although if you want to repurpose another toy as a makeshift "Classicsverse" Shockwave then I'd recommend Energon Shockblast.

Device Label Soundwave never sat well with me as a Classicverse substitute (too 'blocky' IMHO). I much prefer WFC Soundwave. Aesthetics / scale are about right despite the alternate mode but hey... Scourge isn't exactly G1-accurate in alternate mode either.

I once saw a Boxed G1 Shockwave and Megatron at Sheriffs Minni Cars. They Both had Myer price tags on them. What State had Myer in 84,85?

Got the Megatron that day had to leave Shocky But have one now.

Energon Shockblast is the way to go for classics

I knew a guy who had a shockwave when I was a kid, he lived in Melbourne. I thought he got it in Australia.. I was ever so jealous. still am because I guarantee you it's not with this world anymore.

I think music Label soundwave fits in OK, My classics collection is without megatron and prime. I have masterpiece for them.

Shockblast looks like this:

I thought everywhere but NSW had Myer in the 80s. Technically we had Myer too, but it was called Grace Bros (till about 2005 when they changed to Myer). Hmmm... dirge's Australian Toy Listing site, Shockwave wasn't released here. I certainly never saw him in stores nor knew anyone who bought him in Australia. <shrug>

He may have purchased it from overseas... <shrugs.again>
