From 2013 onward, they should just rename the convention "Shattered Glass-Con".

I would still argue with you on that point. Though this one is looking kinda bad.

If this were a mass-release, or even a regular con-exclusive I would've expected a third-party Shockwave head, which would've made this a must-buy for anyone who owns an Alt. Shockwave, I think.

As-is, the class figures are way too rare for anyone to do that.

But it does make me wonder... would FoC Shockwave's head fit on Jazz?
Looking for any version of Armada Deluxe Optimus Prime or WfC Prime, blue Armada Firebot and pretty much any BM Vehicon or Energon Terrorcon molds, or JustiToys Dinorobot or Junkion Blacksmith's Tactical Officer (or Hyper Mode). Also looking for Armada Tidal Wave's missiles. PM me if you have any spares of these please!

I guess you're right. At least they are using "Classics/Universe/Generations" molds.

Second. Worst. Botcon. Ever.

Shockblast was repainted from Alternators Jazz.

Shockwave was repainted from Universe Jazz.

BUT they can't use the name Shockwave here so they used the name of Animated Shockwave's Autobot alter-ego instead.

It works.

If I had a slot in the class I wouldn't have been disappointed, but this is something I could live without. I would still have wanted to go to the class, but this isn't something I'll have envious nerdrage over.

I'm not sure why there's such a mixed reaction to this figure. It's probably one of the better planned figures from this year. The exclusive surprise makes it even better (if you don't wanna be spoiled, skip over the tags).

"We can use either the Jazz head or ... a custom Shockwave head! Bio: he's a SG Autobot secret police. He's an Autotrooper. Leads them actually."
