    Animated is my favorite line to collect right now but this isn't even close, INFERNO all the way, he is awesome.

    i say inferno, if you can find one for 20 go for it...shockwave is still in stores and probably online cheaper than 20 somewhere

    It really depends on what series you like more. Each figure is an excellent representative of his respective series. I like them both, but if I were forced to choose, I'd grab Inferno.

    This is where I sit. They're both fine toys, but I'm not enough of a fan of either to rattle off a preference between the two.

    I think Inferno is the better call if you want to eventually own both, as has been stated.

    But Shockwave is a way better character.

    And I say this as the happy owner of both. :D

    I absolutely love Shockwave, I got both gray and purple version so I can have them displayed as both Shockwave and Longarm. Awesome figure!!!

    I cant speak for Inferno since I never even saw one on a shelf anywhere, and believe me I looked! With that said, IF you opt for Shockwave, can I send you the money for Inferno? :D

    Shockwave is neat and a very unique figure, but mine just seems to be falling apart at the joints (then again, I only have the purple one, and the QC on it was never good to begin with).

    Inferno seems like a more solid figure.

    You can't go wrong with both. And even though I sold off my Animated collection months ago, Shockwave was one of my favorites from that line.

    Beg, borrow and steal the money to get both. They're equally awesome.

    Shockwave.

    Inferno's great, but I like Shockwave an inch more.

    I like Shockwave more as a figure...but if you want to get him, get him in his true colours....(Target Exclusive with BB activators)

    I go with Inferno because he's rarer and will proabably get snatched up soon.

    i have both, and Shockwave is too floppy for my tastes.
    Inferno is a brick that some genius gave a lot of articulation to and it makes him awesome.

    Inferno. he's worth it.
