Yeah, and in bot mode his gun can snap on after folding up his hand to form a tighter unit on the arm. I feel like a jerk mentioning that though as this is such a cool thing to have available.

No problem it's all cool, it only shows how cool spins are, that someone can point out a mistake because they can see it.

It is a really awesome idea. I'd love to see this become a standard part of all pictorial reviews.

Couldn't figure out how Bruticus was holding Shockwave in that earlier photo, so I posted a version of my own. A little more arm cannon, a little less spacegun, but I think it works.

With the spare Decepticon Stickers that come with AM-14, I decided to stick them on the back of Shockwaves wings (in robot mode). Pulling out the DS and doing the character model spin, I'm further impressed by this figure.

The panel lining on the wings is the same as the DS Model. So, lining up the lines, I affixed the stickers to the wings, so looking from behind, there are the insignias.

If I ever get another pair, I'll stick them on the front, so they're also visible in Vehicle mode, but as is, I figure those are the more important position; in the game when Shockys health falls, those symbols strobe based on the health level (low health = lots of flashing). So, having spent so many hours playing Shockwave, I see those symbols a lot and use them as a quick health glance.

Plus the shine on the AM Decepticon stickers look like they've got an energony glow to them.

I just picked this guy up today. Honestly he is great! Yeah he is smaller than other deluxes but he looks really good not as clunky. This is one smooth figure.

For those of you who have energon shockblast as your definitive classics shockwave, will you keep shockblast as your shockwave or use FOC Shockwave in your classics display?
