Switch Shape Node

Hi guy's
Is there a way to take e.g. created sphere's shape node and put it under an empty created transformNode?
In hypergraph I don't see any connection between objects transformNode and shapeNode. Any MEL command?
Btw... I don't want to have the whole object under another transform node - that would give me 2 tranform nodes for one shape node. I just want to get rid of the one created by default for polyobject and used the one I create separately.

Have a look at this. The "-s" flag of "parent" is for "shapeNode". I don't know what "-em" does:
CODE
           group -em -n mainPrnt; xform -os -piv 0 0 0;
           polyCube -n "box1";
           FreezeTransformations; //If this is ommitted, object will snap to group when parented.
           polySphere -n "sphere1";
           move 2 0 0;
           FreezeTransformations;
           polyCone -n "cone1";
           move 4 0 0;
           FreezeTransformations;
           parent -r -s box1Shape sphere1Shape cone1Shape mainPrnt; //parent shapenodes only
           delete box1 sphere1 cone1; //Delete empty transforms

Thank you very much!
I feel like a beginner, parent command
it was just confusing that it couldn't be done by drag-drop in outliner...
