G1 shockwave sees the benefits (that presumably exist) of turning into a fucking laser gun and decides to turn into a giant flying one so he doesn't have to rely on goddamned starscream or whoever to actually shoot him
the shockwave made from the generations jazz mold is a botcon customization class or whatever thing, the thing where you pay money and go make and paint the toy yourself
which is a shame
because I am so desirous of it

And Straxus sees that, goes "I could do better", and turns into a giant flying mobile artillery platform. All the gun, few of the drawbacks.
If I had that it would be Shockwave and only Shockwave. Not SG Longarm, not Shockblast, not 'Hey Cyclops' (but that's totally what my Classic 'Bee would be saying to him)

Dichotomy, have you read Spotlight: Shockwave? I love that depiction of him; calculating, planning. It's not Starscream's underhanded selfish scheming, or Megatron's plans for his personal glory. It's Shockwave doing whatever it takes to ensure a future he wants, one that's likely better for Cybetronians as a whole, but he will not be fucked with anyone trying to change that. And if a certain group manages to break his clockwork actions, Primus help us he will beat you mercilessly. Not for his pleasure, not for his enjoyment. But because your meager existence interferes with what he hopes to accomplish.

Just in case anyone else plans to do the G1 Episode Club, here are some random thoughts on MTMTE 1-3:
1. Soundwave is a goddamn boss. He takes on like half a dozen Autobots in hand to hand combat before Ironhide knocks him down.
2. When Megatron tells Starscream to "use his imagination" when finding a new source of energy, he really seems to be overtly pointing out that power station down the road a bit.
3. Cliffjumper is a really sucky shot.
4. The first roll call where Jazz tells everyone to form up and transform still gives me the shivers.
5. Spike totally punches like a little bitch when he tries to get Rumble off his dad.
6. It's pretty awesome how Megatron shuts Starscream down after pretty much every single assertion he makes.
7. Optimus Prime is thwarted time and time again by Soundwave's cassettes.
8. Prime totally does the talk... really... slow... and gesture... a lot type of speech when you're either speaking to someone who's really dumb or doesn't speak your language very well.
9. Actually, the Decepticon cassettes are considerably more effective than the other Decepticons put together.
More to come...

I think they're old rivals from the gladiatorial days in the IDW-verse. I know the cartoon set the Dinobots vs Devastator as a precedent. When were they rivals with the Combaticons?
They were in G1 as well... UK stuff, at least. Divebomb was what Swoop used to be known as until a certain Predacon defeated him and took the name for himself (a throwback to the original name for Swoop, if memory serves).

I think he's supposed to be some sort of spaceship
he turns into a stupid looking laser gun
spaceship works better though
megatron is a giant pistol
all his troops come to earth and start scanning war machines and megatron is all
"nah, I think I'll be one of these earth guns"
Shockwave is just a giant hovering space gun
why does he even have a trigger in giant space gun mode? pretty sure megatron shrank down so he could be used to shoot by his henches
he could just give megs a new altmode when he upgrades him
but no, he makes him a different gun and then just makes another guy into a ship for him
transformers don't work like that
I miss him

That's a good looking Earth-mode Shockwave.

look I see shockwave
This is why Megatron and Galvatron are always tanks now.
Your post specifically bugboy. It echoed through time and caused it.
Thanks a lot.

Sort of funny, then, that a descendant named Dinobot would be a Predacon...
How...
...how does...
...how?
I mean, isn't that thing $200 or in Japan? And they had to cut out Rodimus Prime's trailer just to make him affordable...
How are they pulling that off?!
Like Mega Man Legends? Then check out my story, Legends of the Halcyon Era - An Adventure in the World of Mega Man Legends on TMMN and AO3!
it even has more paint in spots than the japanese release
the lights are actually painted
I'm actually hoping it will be very expensive
because the cheaper it is, the more likely it is that I might want to try to get one
and lord knows I don't need the stress of trying to track down a Toys R Us exclusive that the scalpers will all snatch up immediately
if I had 75+ bucks to spend on transformers, I would buy encore Blaster
no
no
never buy an actual g1 toy when you can get a modern toy for the same money
And there is no modern blaster!
granted, it has a hellish transformation
still
but I prefer the boombox altmode. It's outdated, but in the best way!
Oooh, that's where the musket goes.
Yeah!
Hehe
I did not know about this until now
You took the musket, didn't you
just don't detach the cannon, it was a pain to get on
also the little purple thing, don't lose that
also don't transform him, it won't work right
but STILL
HE IS AWESOME
Where I am
And where you are not
Do you understand?
nooooooooooooooo
Purple thing?
I found one of those on the floor when I got home.
I threw it out.
