oh how i need



great review man

and oh. think we can get some vehicle mode comparisons? im curious to see how he matches up to some of the other animated guys

cheers man  

 

G1-accurate deco!

 

LOL, I was the one who requested that pic, and you made it perfect. GREAT REVIEW! Now I have a hard time deciding wether to get this guy on Ebay now, or wait for retail. Shockwave is the most delicious animated toy yet.  

I have just 3 more picture requests, could you do a picture with Longarm and the rest of the Elite Gaurd, all the Autobots together, and all Decepticons together?
I want to make the Decepticons one into an awesome wallpaper.

 

  ok that's it. i am buying two. purple is hot.

 

Good grief. I could seriously see this ending up as my favorite TF ever.

Thanks for the awesome review and pics, Peaugh! It's almost enough to make me buy an early leaked sample from an auction. Almost. *avoids looking at eBay*

 

Bless photoshop, now if only it were that easy to repaint. Great job re-colorizing Shockwave  

 

What you see in the pics is all it does. The hook flips up on a rivet for transformation purposes, but the crane has no extendable "line."

 

peaugh can you show down into the shockwave head with the light on i mean i kinda get what happens to LA head but id like to see a pic of where it goes.

 

Now I see why they made him grey. Purple does not look good on that mould compared to the grey.

Ths guy is pretty badass, can't wait to own him.

 

Yeah, he can hold the gun in both hands.

 

WOW

Another excellent animated figure.
It's going to be a long wait till BBTS/retail.

Excellent review as always.
Happy 100!!
   

Here's a band to accompany the dancing, rock on.
   

 

Thanks for the pics and review peaugh, great job.  I'll probably end up owning at least two. My wallet doesn't even want to think about any future repaints of this guy.

 

Peaugh, can we get a pick of the Autobot Acadamey cadets with Sentinel making them do "transform-ups"?(you can use Classics Ironhide in place of his Animated counterpart, and BW Waspinator for Wasp)

 

simply awesome...MUST HAVE

 

The perfect review for the perfect Animated piece. Congrats on 100 reviews! And Shockwave for the WIN.

 

I can't wait for him to start appearing here.

 

He's almost as tall as a leader.

 

Yep, your digibash is better.

 

I will be getting this guy, yes I will.

Thank you man, you are awesome!

 

Yep:

As for the legs, they rotate around just BELOW the knee joint, so Longarm is just as poseable in the legs as Shockwave. Also, for whoever wanted that profile shot of his head:




Some posability shots:

I think I can reach that far!




Gonna getcha!



One of the neat things about his claws is that they're entirely individual. The hinge at the knuckle separately, but even the black joint that connects them to the forearm is actually two separately moving posts.

The Elite Guard (minus Blurr):



The Boot Camp and Full faction shots are going to have to wait a day or two, I don't have the time to clear the space and set up those shots tonight. Anything I can get a quick snap of here at the comp is fair game, though.
