Just to get an opinion, does anyone think that BH Voyager Shockwave can fit into the classic line?

Works well enough for me. It's not the best image, but it showcases his scale well enough.

When I finally get him (sitting in my PoL atm) that's where I'm putting him.

Thanks for the pic Mkall, that helped to confirm I'm doing the right thing

Why does everything have to be G1?! :BOOM:

My BH Shockwave is going to my somewhat overcrowded Prime Con shelf, but I can easily see putting him in with my Classics (almost enough to justify getting the Takara version). but for now unless I ever take down my Prime Shelves, Energon Shockblast is still my Classics Shockwave.

Because there hasn't been a "proper" Shockwave released from Hasbro since the original G1 figure, and people want a stand-in for him until they finally make one.

1st: everything isn't G1

2nd: we can re-purpose our toys however we want

3rd: get over it

I'm sticking with Generations Shockwave on my Classics shelf. I wish he would have been bigger, but his aesthetic fits in better with the entire line.

Just my opinion.

Me too. BH Shockwave can stay with the Prime collection.

I wouldn't fit him in, but then again, I almost never repurpose a toy. It just doesn't sit right with me.

But it's your collection, you have all the power you need to have to make this move.

This is my stance on the topic.

Personally, I had thought about this, but the head is just too much of a departure. Though, as said before, if you feel like sticking him in with your Classics, nothing wrong with that.

Thought about this for a while but I'm going to stick with my Alternators Shockblast until there's a good classics Shockwave.

And mine. BH Shocky stays with the Prime characters while Generations Shocky pulls double duty between Classics/G1 shelf and WFC/FOC shelf.

While I love Energon Shockblast, to me he is simply a different character to Shockwave. He's in storage with my other UT molds.

That's where it is a little different for me. For the first time ever I've packed away the toys for the current show. Only ever done that when a new show has come out and I've needed to make space. Shockwave can easily go on my Classics shelf because there is nowhere else for him to go

And I agree about Energon Shockblast, he just feel like a different character.

He's just too curvy for my tastes to fit in with Classics (or anything besides Prime really). I commissioned a custom Classics Shockwave made from Shockblast from FrenzyRumble long long ago, but since he no longer replies to my emails and never came through, I guess that's $200 spent on nothing that I'll just have to let go of. I may commission one from another customizer or attempt one myself someday, but I fully expect Has/Tak to do one before long. Either that, or an MP (or possibly both).

Before you do that, keep an eye on this guy. Right now he's only Masterpiece size, but the company that made him claim to be working on a Voyager size too.

Really, I'm only using Beast Hunters Shockwave as a placeholder until this guy shows up (If he does.

Yep, I've seen that one. Something about it just doesn't work for me in either MP or Classics. I'm not sure what it is, just something about him seems a bit off.
