I think Shockwave's really cool, easily the best TF since Prime Wheeljack. I even figured out a hand-held gun mode and a manned space-cruiser mode! If you look at the bottom of his gun, there's what looks like a tiny seat underneath. There's a way to mount it in vehicle mode that makes it look like a little cockpit. Pretty cool. I can take some pics later if anyone's interested.

Alright, here's the gun mode. It's really simple, basically you just take his vehicle mode, separate the legs, pivot them down and then connect them back together. I also flipped back the wings to give it more of that 'space laser' look, plus it kind of evokes Rodimus Prime's rifle. For the legs/handle you can either leave the side leg panels up like in vehicle mode or down like in bot mode. I find having them down fits better in the hand, but up looks a little better:

(Sorry for the slightly blurry photos and ungroomed nails...)

Next up, manned space-cruiser mode! From vehicle mode, unpeg the arms and straighten them while still keeping them pegged to each other. Flip the main chest piece backwards to lie flat over top of the arms. Separate the legs, remove the cannon, flip it over and peg it back on using the tab on the silver barrel part and the slot on the back of his waist. Peg the legs back together. There you have it!

Here's how to do the rear (again, sorry for blurriness):

The whole thing:

Different, slightly closer angle:

Closeup of what inspired this mode, the 'cockpit', complete with seat!

That's it! Hope you guys like it.

Will either the ROTF or DOTM Human Alliance humans fit inthat "cockpit"?

Nope, it's way too small.

Probably even too small for Diaclone drivers...

I mean, you could probably fit an HA Basic human in there, but his legs would stick out of the front and he'd be pretty tall, like a race car driver trying to fit in a baby seat. :lol:

So Dragstrip in other words.

Pretty much.

Quite nice fan modes.

Shockwave's easily the best of the first wave. Prime's not too bad, but Jazz is horrid. Shockwave is... good, at least.

Thanks! Yeah, agreed on Wave 1. But I like Shockwave a little more, I don't really have any complaints with him.
