When I first saw this custom made by Pig Iron Grenadier on Hisstank, I wanted so badly to get him, and he was willing to make one for me free of charge. I am really thankful for it and will make this version my main default version because of the fact it looks like Shockwave the most(without the yellow camouflage). For the other customizers who made Shockwave customs for me that may misunderstand me here, I want you to know I appreciate your customs and the hard work you put into them. Also, I feel this custom looks a lot like one of the Battleground trading card images of the character. The detail is superb.
Formula: Head, cap, vest, pistols, gasmask, and helmet: 25th Anniversary Shockblast Backpack(posted on another photo of the custom): 50th Anniversary Night Viper Body: Dollar General Wave 2 COBRA Trooper(with shotgun shells from a 25th Anniversary Flint I believe glued on his left arm) Shockwave is the fearless leader of S.W.A.T.(Shockwave's Assault Team). He knows that any mission he goes on could be his last but sets an example of courage and persistence in the pursuit of justice.

Nice Paint job. Real smooth. Why couldn't Hasbro release this figure instead of a blue Dusty.

Agreed...though I don't think of the blue Dusty as another version of Dusty...he reminds me of Tracker without the yellow and red colors.

It was well worth the wait, and it's sort of become a trend with me to pass around the same riot shield that's from Maurauders, Inc. to what I would consider my "default version".

Yeah, this is very nice. I would not be at all disappointed to see this version show up in a future FSS or Con Exclusive set. Your parts choice works incredibly well to update the 25th anny version we got!

This custom, imo is a combination of the Resolute version from the comic in the 2-pack he came in, and the Battleground trading card image. An image of the Resolute version: https://www.flickr.com/photos/113336...posted-public/ and an image of the Battleground version: http://vignette4.wikia.nocookie.net/...20130712022546
Now while the custom was and still is absolutely great, I still wanted to add some accessories for him. The rappel line is from a Spytroops Sgt. Hacker, and I like how it fits snug into his wide belt. I gave him a new cap that looks more accurate compared to the RAH version, repainting it with a neon blue and the dark blue camouflage with a blue sharpie(and much to my relief the color was the same, otherwise I wouldn't know how to recreate the blue camo). Last but not least, I added five different balaclava heads. The ROC Kamakura head and ROC Frostbite heads did not require any repainting(the dark blue of the Kamakura head is actually the same as the 25th Shockblast's). The other three are fairly close, as I experimented with mixing different blue colors to attempt to match up. Will have more customs for you to see next week...
