Fall of Cybertron Shockwave In-Hand Images

Posted on 06-26-2012 at 01:25 PM by Sol Fury under Generations / Classics

And as a follow on to the last story on the release of the Fall of Cybertron toys in Malaysia, we have a few in hand photos of the most anticipated release of the new toys - Shockwave! Fall of Cybertron Shockwave is a nice rendition of the character who will fit in well with your Classics toys as well as the Fall of Cybertron toys. These new images by Fallen Kia on Facebook show off the robot mode only - the main attraction I'm sure you agree - along with a size comparison with a Generations War for Cybertron Soundwave (customised as Soundblaster, a really nice piece of work). Reassuringly these new releases will scale well against the War for Cybertron toys - so your War for Cybertron Bumblebee and Megatron will fit right in with these new releases.

Sort of on the small side, but it looks really cool nonetheless. I can't wait to pick him up.

Heat Guy

Can't wait, I want these on US shelves now.

Deceptigtar

so wtf is that soundblaster a custom?

seekerblackout

That size ain't too bad.

Expected worse.

Bountyan

Nice, a solid height comparison. I'm fine with his size now actually.

I'm not sure. I can usually tell, but that's a damn good paintjob and looks official.

Bountyan

I'm pretty sure it's a custom. I haven't heard of a WFC Soundblaster.

EDIT: Did some searching and found this: http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/radico...ndblaster.html

Same background too.

Satomiblood

Regarding Soundblaster: It looks like someone just dyed a WFC Soundwave black and added on purple and silver apps.

Angelwave

*rubs hands together* Cannot wait.

Also....nice Soundblaster custom.

General Tekno

Well. Shockwave's scale works far better than I feared. That's good.

Kinda tempted though to paint the eye yellow.

I was actually thinking the same thing. The pink eye doesn't stand out much against all the purple.

Soundwinder

I think I'm going to pass on Shockwave.

Needs more variety (for some reason the purple eye on purple plastic doesn't do it for me), and the Fireflight remold looks pretty amazing.

shroobmaster

Yeah that looks kinda of lame. I'll get Fireflight instead. Fireflight was beautiful.

Illogical post is Illogical.

Sorry, couldn't resist.

Lbsammills51

Shockwave looks nice.

That Soundblaster custom is really sweet though. I'm surprised we haven't received a Soundblaster redeco from that Deluxe mold by now. With the FoC toy coming, I guess we never will?

Red vs Blue fan

Nice, but as for the paint, do we know whether this is the FOC version or the AM version?
Just a thought.

Considering the FoC version was just sighted in Mayalsia and the AM version was just announced, its highly likely this is the Hasbro FoC version.

After Toy Fair, i think people concluded he wasn't as small as Jazz and Prime.

It looks exactly the same as the in package pic we saw, so it's safe to assume it's the Hasbro version.

Also, anyone want to see a third party or shapeways add-on for his G1 laser cannon that can slip over one of his fists?

Brave Magnus

I cant see the FB link so thanks for mirroring those! Looks AMAZING!!!!

So much win in that Shockwave toy!!!!

TacomaPrime

tfsource says they should get theirs in early next week and will start processing preorders immediately.

Acidophilus

This looks like a female version of Shockwave, and that's great, I just made myself want to buy this figure.

Her feet are so small. The body, and limbs are slender, wide hips, and she has a very large bossom, maybe too large, but Yeah, it's a lady Shockwave!

Matt_M

Yeah, still a must-get. I liked him at Botcon, I still like him now.

Fireflight looked kind of ridiculous in vehicle mode- it's too Shockwave for me to see it as anything else.

Praxus07

Was Really wanting to like this figure, but the neon pink and skinny legs kills it for me. Really tired of a lot of the bots nowadays having skinny leg syndrome.

Not liking any of the new FoC stuff yet....

MechaV

Little small, but I suppose that's just the trend these days, eh?

He's gonna look so great with Megatron and Soundwave. I can't wait.

Torque

tad smaller than I'd like, but still epic. going to make a nice addition to my collection, completing my Season 1 Classics Cons!

Wolfdawg

It's out in Malaysia? Cool, guess I'll find this guy in stores in 2 or 3 months...

Murasame

A bit small, but actually looks better than in the pictures we've seen before!
Can't wait to get him!

Cadbane

At least the height comparasion is not too bad... I thought shockwave would be smaller.

SPLIT LIP

Oh look, he's almost exactly the same size as Soundwave.

I'll get him, but I'll also get Fireflight.

Neon pink? Where? All I see is translucent purple.

prime326

Shockwave looks so nice. I can't wait for these guys to hit the states

Jerrymiru

Hurry up and take my money now!!!

I think he's talking about the eye.

johnchow604

Can't wait for the United version.

Abrogate

Good to see he's the same size as Soundwave, I thought he was going to be smaller. I'd still like him bigger than he is, but this isn't as bad as I feared. Also nice to see someone doing the leg kibble right, since Hasbro didn't bother to in any of their promo pics or convention samples.

Neo Vox

Shockwave looks great!

Ryoku

I want this now please.

Murasame

I just pre-ordered the United version at BBTS. Yay

kaijuguy19

He's still a little short but thankfully not to the point where it's glaring.

Looking forward to picking him up!

soymonk

Wow. Kind of tiny.

Not sure how he'll look next to other CHUG figures. I was planning to display him with the Classics line.

Ejack37

I think that SoundBlaster is Voyager sized...right? I forgot the announcement, but if I remember correctly they said that.

EDIT: Oh never mind that is a custom, this is the Voyager one.

TFfanmaiku

He looks very nice, will pick him up

It's a redeco of Voyager Soundwave, so yes it's a Voyager.

StayingInTheBox

I first knee jerk reaction was the height difference. I feel Shockwave may be a little too short to be SHOCKWAVE. I'm going to hold judgement though, things change in person big time.

It's def not purple on my screen, nowhere close to purple. Every pic has the translucent tinted parts as neon pink (eye, chest, gun and painted knee/waist accents).

I'm seeing more of a purple. Differing opinions and screen settings you know? No big deal.

Exodus

Dang I actually may get Shockwave to go with my collection, fits really well.

Maybe, but most every other pic matches what i see in real life, color wise, on my bots. So I'm guessing this'll be neon pink in RL as well. Def not liking this fig so far.
