    That alt mode =
    :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: 

    What a long way off from the gorgeously vicious concept art and in-game 3d model.
    Robot mode is dece but I don't by transformers for half a transformer.

    It literally looks exactly like the design

    I did the thing again.

    Looks good, but the complete lack of silver is a bit strange.

    Seems to have executed well. The off details are few and point to needing to be physical, like the feet have to be feet so becoming the front fins is a big ask.

    I love Planet X's FOC line and this is a must buy for me. I feel like he might have needed a few more pink accents but it might also be the lighting in the picture. Either way I am in.

    I might pick this one up. It looks really good. Depends how much it runs I guess.

    This is a great Shockwave, I really appreciate the inclusion of his smaller G1-esque arm cannon.

    Man, that looks cool. I really hope they take a crack at Bruticus sometime as well.

    Good thing I saw this post, I was about to start making this image myself to show why I'm not going to buy this. From the waist down his proportions are way off. His thighs are shrunk and then his shins are so flat. The real issue is right at the crotch, where it seems to have been lowered when it needed to be raised on his body. Then, look at the biceps. He's just so lanky and thin.

    Toy has smaller wings, way larger middle and front bulk, and essentially none of the same major, uniform horizontal lines running along the sides to establish that sleek visual that evokes a forward motion even when static. This toy alt mode is terribly ugly and very much unlike the original design

    Total fail of an alt mode. "It looks like the design". No it echoes the design.. poorly. And I wasn't complaining about the Cybertronian alt mode. You shouldn't be able to see the torso in alt mode.

    If Takara can make it look as good as this, I'd expect PX to be able to improve on that, but no.

    But anyway, like any other PX product, it will be 50% off in less than a year.

    I think it would\'ve been damn near perfect if the chest pulled out to cover up that midsection of the jet mode. 

    Planet X really did have a FANTASTIC Start. I just....I just don\'t understand why their not putting in the effort they used to to make such game accurate figures

    I\'m probably going to pass on this one too.

    They started mailing it in with the Ratchet/Ironhide duo.

    This is a must buy, Foc has 2nd set of designs (the first is Transformers animated) and I love shocky, this go great with my seige soundwave, TLK leader class Megatron, and animated starscream ( I'm probably going to just pretend that the ship I was just a tank mode because the tank fits shockwave way better than the jet mode).

    Looking at that the main issue for me is lack of detail and paint on the legs

    Yeah, the alt mode is more "close enough" to the design than it is "spot-on." A shame, really, since that's my biggest gripe with the figure.
    I'll pass for now. If there's a sale, then maybe. I still wish they engineered him with a swappable yellow eye. I just think that'd pop more against all the purple, even if it's inaccurate to the game.
