There are some aspects of the TFA Shockwave that I like even more than the G1 Shockwave, but I like the overall look of G1 better -- maybe because its classic, idk. Anyway, because of this, I generally see in my mind a sort of Shockwave hybrid, so while I was waiting for virus scans to run, I drew this.

I liked it so much I colored it with copics yay!

It started as a random sketch so the torso was based off the TFA Voyager box art, but then it took on a life of its own.

So the details:

G1:
-Color scheme
-optic/lights are yellow instead of red
-Feet
-right hand has all 5 fingers rather than 3 talons (He's a scientist, c'mon he needs better hands lol)
-arm cannon instead of holding a gun (We love his missing hand yay)
-tube/hose
-Backpack/nuclear reactor (you cant really see it from this angle though)
-non-pronged horns
-removed tank treads and longarm-y extending limbs
-added details on his stomach area

TFA:
-style (obviously. I love the slenderness in TFA even though I am just as loyal to the G1 Boxbots)
-basic frame
-head shape
-hip canister things (idk they looked cool)
-chest design
-shoulders

Obviously his voice is still Corey Burton's adaptation since he voiced both of those series. If i had to choose character backgrounds between those two series, I prefer the Longarm Prime story for Shockwave just because I don't like how blindly loyal the G1 Shockwave is. However, I much prefer the Spotlight comic Shockwave over all other versions.

I imagine him as still HAVING emotions, but they are a faint subroutine kind of thing. Like all of his decisions are based off of logical calculations and efficiency first, but if pushed, his emotions will become stronger and have more of an effect on his decision-making.

As far as his relationships with other bots, I have always liked his relationship portrayed in the TF: Exodus novel with Megatron. I think he and Soundwave would be good partners/friends almost like brothers. I think he would have very little patience for other 'Cons like Starscream.

Anyway I'm totally rambling, sorry. And yeah this isnt a very attractive picture because it was just a colored drawing on paper that I scanned. But its the design that's the focus anyway.

Hope you like!
