    I wonder if there are people who are all anti 3rd party figures but are ok with things like this?

    Some people tread add-ons for official Transformers products different stand alone figures that copy the Transformer designs.

    Yeah I get that, but to me they are in the same boat, using another IP without consent to make a buck. Either way, I don't care but maybe that's why they are mostly equivalent to me. Different angles of the same triangle.

    Yeah, I don't really care about the difference. Historically, no one cared much about "garage kits" and the like, even with City Commander, because it enhanced a Hasbro toy. Most of the online stink about "thind party Transformers" started with Warbot Defender, who was stand-alone.

    Hmmm, two 5mm-peg guns (Shockwave AND Megatron) for under $20? I think this kit may just give Dr. Wu's Megatron pistols a run for their money. The Shockwave head and arm turret are just icing. PO'd.

    Where did the whole Jazz-Shockwave repaint thing start? Alternators?

    Yes. Hasbro did a surprise repaint of Alternators Jazz as Shockblast, with a new head and fist in 2005.

    This is going to be an awesome little kit, I think.

    For only $15 I hope most people will give this thing a shot.

    Those stickers aren't worth the effort.
