DOTM Shockwave

"Optimus..." Seriously..that's it? Really laughing my ass off just thinking about that. Did I miss out any of his other conversations or was it really just one word for a renowned Decepticon villain.
In anycase, I was really impressed by his cold nature. I felt that it was depicted pretty well in the movie. Cold and calm. ANd where did he get that cybertron driller from anyway?
Well, introducing my version of Shockwave. Shockwave was painted in a special blend of mystique purple. And if you pay close attention, I had to change my camera white balance to 'daylight' in order to capture this strong mystique shade. ANy other modes of white balance will render his purple a dark blue. However, the camera was still not able to capture the true shade of the mystique purple. It looks fuller with more depth in real life.
Some features of Shockwave include:
- Sanded and filed for texturing
- Mod swapped his 2 hands so that it looks more pleasing with the screws facing back (very troublesome mod)
- Custom blend of mystique purple with numerous detailings

Re: DOTM Shockwave

the drillers back story is explained (among others) in the dotm prequel comics,and shockwave also said "owww"

back on topic,i clicked on this expecting the usual starburst shiny metallic goodness,and man,i'm pleasantly surprised!!!
your paint works is always flawless whether gloss or matte!!!

Re: DOTM Shockwave

Nice Job. I myself have not had the time to work on custom for a while.

But seeing Shockwave not transforming, did practically nothing, and got killed off so easily by a not-so-peace-loving Optimus Prime makes me think the chance of Shockwave getting Leader toy is now close to nil.

Re: DOTM Shockwave

Still haven't found Shockwave and while I am looking forward to painting him, I have not started ANY Dotm toys as of yet. Granted it's pretty much Megatron, maybe the new Sideswipe without the top and the Deluxe Prime I might fix up. So I don't have a lot to work on but I kinda don't care this time around. It's kinda sad.
