What's Transformers without Shockwave I ask you? He's like the jelly to a PB&J, the bottle cap to a beer, you know what I'm saying right? Though we saw Soundwave in the Revenge of the Fallen we didn't get ol' camera-eye. I aimed to fix that! Shockwave was created using a Swindle head, Soundwave upper body, and Protoform Starscream lower body. Soundwave's legs became the arms and I removed the fish-fin panels, also moving the main satellite spear. His hand and gun were various fodder parts and I added wires and hoses inside of his arms.

Shockwave's paint job took me hours of non-stop shading, weathering, use of every metallic color I had, and mixing together every technique I had to create his look. When it came to the purple I used it sparingly and didn't focus on the wing panels, darkening them to act like a cape behind him. Shockwave transforms into a mini Vector Prime type vehicle similar to Shoundwave's alt mode.

That's actually pretty cool!!

I tried to repaint Swindle as Shockwave 2 years ago and failed :sad:

Great job, Jin

Please do not quote the spam bots, I edited your post to remove the spam. But no hard feelings.

Jin that is absolutely awesome, I haven't been fascinated by a custom for quite sometime as much as this has fascinated me, it's interesting, fresh, old-school, creepy, and badass.
That is just pure awesomeness. :APPLAUSE:
