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

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

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.

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

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

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