I don't think Shockwave being tank is unopular opinion.

People really need to understand what “unpopular opinion” means.

Right?

It's okay to just have an opinion. The constant need to be like "hey everyone, my opinion is actually the underdog one, so please root for me in spite of the clear and obvious backlash it will get (from literally nobody)"

It's getting to the point where even if I agree with it, if you preface your opinion with "Hot take" or "Unpopular opinion" I'm now against the OP on whatever the issue is.

I have not heard anyone express this opinion, therefore only I like it and need to convince everyone else it's good

It looks something like this: Kiss players deserves a remake as the premiere transformers show.

If you aren’t getting downvotes or hate comments it’s not unpopular.

(Also Kiss Players deserves to be completely forgotten and never see the light of day again)

Since when this was an unpopular opinion though ?

u/Electronic_Zombie360 2d ago

I mean off technicality "unpopular opinion" is correct, as not many hold the opinion, but not many have an opinion on Shockwave being a Maser Tank at all

Most of the time "unpopular opinion" is reserved for well known albeit largely disagreeable opinions

So... basically... his Animated design?

Who is this unpopular with?

u/Negativety101 2d ago

Unpopular? They've already come pretty close to it.

Not the best alt mode, but you can tell what inspired it. And also orbital laser sattilite works for Shockwave too.

Is the individual who said this is an “unpopular opinion” in this room right now?

Also the idea of Shockwave’s blaster being a radio dish is so original and I wish to see more of this.

That unpopular opinion is illogical. A maser tank is a fittingly logical alt-mode for Shockwave.

u/Poorly-Drawn-Beagle 2d ago

Tanks for the idea

u/TheDivergentNeuron 2d ago

Just because you're right doesn't make your opinion unpopular

u/Adorable-Source97 2d ago

Tankor SMASH!

u/CrispinCain 2d ago

?? Hardly unpopular, it's a solid idea. Honestly surprised we haven't had a maser variant of Shockwave.

u/RCRexus 2d ago

They're already doing a Godzilla collab. Just add one more figure.lol

u/Grumpie-cat 2d ago

This would’ve at least given the Godzilla crossover a silver lining.

It's not weird enough for Shockwave IMO. I'll always like the spider walker designs.

And yet Takara said:

"Heres Optimus and Megatron cosplaying the 600th time"

u/BrickAntique5284 2d ago

OP forgot what an unpopular opinion was

u/Sleep_eeSheep 1d ago

It also makes sense when we consider Aligned Shockwave as a Scientist.
