    I bought a G1 Shockwave KO on eBay. It comes in two colors, dark purple and light purple. I got both, but right now only the dark purple has come.

    Details: His name, according to the package, is "Gun God Biography." Either that, or Handarm Passes. Not sure which. :)  The plastic quality isn't too bad, really.

    Gun mode: The gun mode is pretty good. The only bad thing is triggering the lights and sounds. The trigger can't quite reach the button for the lights and sounds when his legs are pushed in completely. If you pull them out a bit, though, it works fine.

    Robot mode: Robot mode is also very nice. I like his head a lot, though others might not. No real problems in this mode - a few loose joints, but it's still cool.

    I'll have pictures when I get around to it.

    EDIT:

    Notice how the artwork is Shockwave with a 3D version of the KOs head on it. :)

    I've seen a Classic Megs KO tat has "Handarm Passes" on it, so I'm guessing it's
    "Gun God." How much did it cost?

    The box has Gun God and Handarm Passes on it. I'm calling him Gun God because it's cooler.

    It was 30 dollars including shipping. I like it because I can't afford the real deal.
