    Default Does dotm shockwave fit with classicsverse?

    So I got this on sale cos I thought he might fit in ok with my classics seeing as in the cartoon he didn't leave cybertron so he can look like Michael bay design what do u think?

    He fits in kinda with the WFC toys, but the essence of Shockwave is his Symmetrical design which kinda represents 'order and efficency', so no but dont let deter you from displaying him your way

    That makes no sense at all. Shockwave is one of the more asymmetrical geewun Transformers. He has a whopping great black hose and a gun instead of a hand. And Dark Of The Moon Shockwave is equally asymmetrical (or completely symmetrical if you remove his hose and guns.)

    Primitives, Classicsverse is not a canonical or definable concept, so you can pick and choose whatever you think fits. If you want to include Shockwave, go ahead.

    I agree as that is the exact reason I'm purchasing this figure, he is to be my Classicsverse Shockwave.
    ROTF Bludgeon (Still waiting on Headrobot's Upgrade to eventuate ) and HFTD Seaspray will also be joining the Classicsverse ranks, along with Fracture as soon as I can acquire her.

    In my opinion his design is too cybertronian and does no fit well with 'classicsverse'

    If there was a WFC Shockwave toy, I'd use him as he has a really cool, defined spaceship look whereas DotM Shockwave is some kind of weird cannon that just crawls on the ground....

    I agree that it's not the best fit in the world, but I reckon he's a good place-holder until HasTakTom get their act together and release a Voyager Class, Classicsverse Shockwave!

    Energon's Shockblast has a more Classicverse Shockwave look in my opinion.

    My preference would be Animated Shockwave. He lacks most of the trademark 'Animated' look because his only facial feature is his cyclops eye.

    The only "Movie" thing about Fracture is the packaging she came in. She's supposed to be a "Classics" Crasher.

    I really need to buy Fracture. One day. Such a cool toy.

    Exactly - Which is why I want her so bad, but not at $70+.
