Weird...I'm doing the SAME thing.

I just swapped Fansproject Bombshell's shoulder mounted sickle weapon leg things with his middle pair of legs. This means:
- it's very easy to get all six legs on the ground in insect mode
- his sickle weapon things are mounted just below the knee in robot mode so he can reach them easily
- his shoulder mounted legs are now easier to fold out of view, increasing his G1-esque silhouette.

This renders his chain obsolete but I didn't use it much anyway.

Whoa, that looks surprisingly good, I'll have to do that with mine.

Time for more Shockwave! I posted this in another thread but I might as well do it here too:

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.


Now I just need a Kreon Shockwave to put in the driver's seat.

Okay that's an awesome Shockwave gun mode. Nice find.

Thanks! I was just fiddling with it the other night and figured it out. I've seen a couple fan modes that are maybe a bit closer to his G1 look, but this works pretty well too.

Well we know that the dotm Darksteel was supposed to to be a homage to Beast wars Quickstrike. Well I think his wave mate, Airraid, was also supposed to be a homage to this guy





See what I mean. Even were the kibble goes is close. Shark head on Cybershaarks ass. plane cockpit on Airraids ass. Cybersharks fins could moved the way you wanted. Same goes to Airraids wings. Only thing off are the colors.

Whoa. I never noticed the similarities. Nice find.
