When I first saw Wide Scope back when he was released for the Spytroops line, I, like many others, thought of him as a Shockwave lookalike, though after reading his filecard, I realized he was actually a separate character. Unfortunately, his proportions, like many JvC styled figures were horrible. Fast forward to a few years ago, when I just heard of the FSS convention figures. The first one that caught my eye was Wide Scope, and he was awesome. So, he became not only the first FSS figure I ever brought, but was the catalyst for me to start buying FSS figures in the near future. When I received the figure, he still looked like Shockwave, mainly because of his vest. Originally, I had given him a Renegades Ripcord vest, which I felt was a better substitute that would help change my mindset as seeing him as Shockwave. And then recently, as I went to Wal-Mart and checked out the action figures section, I noticed that the Jurassic World Dinosaur Trainer Owen has armor that looks really close to the one the Spytroops figure had. It clicked in my mind and I knew it would be the best one to use, and now I think Wide Scope is just about perfect. Even though he doesn't have upper arm bands and shin pads, the armor is enough to distinguish him as Wide Scope.
Formula: Figure: FSS Wide Scope Armored vest: Jurassic World Dinosaur Trainer Owen

That looks good. Definitely looks more like Widescope.

It works really well man... I think the FSS works better as modern Shockwave than as Widescope actually.

I agree. But I have two FSS Wide Scopes, one that I used for this custom and the other as another version of Shockwave.
