    I untabbed scrapmetal's legs and shifted his pelvis back in, and just positioned the legs where they should be, and that allowed for the clearance to bend it up

    Part of me kinda wished they kept the Bumblebee movie as a full on Bay-Verse prequel full of easter eggs and references like frozen Megatron,
    but the other is excited about where this rebooted universe will go.

    Tbh, that TLK Hot Rod mold isn’t very capable of doing dynamic poses regardless

    It blows my mind that they didn’t include him with SS Barricade

    Totally agree! When I was younger, I bought three of this little guys for the price of one standart voyager class, and I certainly don't regret it. They do still better painted and sometimes even better engineered than the DOTM main line. The Cyberverse line was a great a ideia, and, excluding my recent efforts towards SS, the only real (but incomplete, sadly) collection I have.

    Well, SS DOTM Megs came with Igor... Maybe 07 Megs will comes with Frenzy. After all, Frenzy was the one that released him from the ice.

    I have a love/hate relationship with this figure. On one hand, it's a spiffy paintjob of my favorite movie character.
    On the other, the figure itself is pretty bad. The cannon barely stays attached, and the joints for the legs are annoyingly spaced. The original was better, but hey, it's Shockwave, so I had to have it.

    Yeah I am a bit shocked and disappointed at how freakin huge he is. I don't like the trend of 3P making huge figures in their own scale, but this guy looks almost perfect except he's way too big to even scale with their other figures! I don't know what they were thinking.
    Always take pics with the light in front of the figure, always shoot a bit more than you need, always make sure the figure you want to highlight is in focus, always shoot a bit farther away then you need then crop it later, take your time doing dynamic poses (sometimes it takes a while!) and interesting but clear camera angles, make sure the background isn't too cluttered so the figure stands out, and HAVE FUN!
    My SS32's back panels come off a lot when transforming, especially when I try and combine him with Jetfire, so the SS44 change is very welcome to me. If yours works fine then that's cool though, but the overall feel of SS44 is more solid to me.
    We all forgot about Canopy.
    Basically everyone who mentions 07 Megs also mentions Frenzy.

    Beautiful colors. But as for the mold itself, idk the luster kinda wore off quickly for me. There was just something different about how it felt

    Correct. But it’s not high grade 3P either. It’s better than old era 3P material, but still different from official or high end 3P figures

    I hope they make a new Shockwave for Studio Series so you can get closer to nirvana :D

    I like lt02 better. The paint pops a lot more and it feels very solid to me. And doesn’t have the transformation issue.

    The market might make the decision for you. I can't give away my MPM-4.

    I’ve heard several people including myself have experience a loose waist for SS Long Haul. Anybody else in here also have one? Has anyone come up with a fix?

    Check the review thread. Someone disassembled it and found the issue.

    Do any of you guys have an issue where his toes keep wanting to fold up? That's about my only gripe with this guy. It doesn't sound like anyone else has this issue from what I heard, so I'm not sure if this is a QC issue or if it's just me doing something wrong lol. He's lovely otherwise! Probably my favorite out of the three I have right now. :)
