    I doubt it was intentional but QB looks pretty good with his backpack left on in gun mode. For extra Dinobot slaughtering power.

    Only a little Quakier, but much Blastier. Or sillier.

    I'll never get tired of seeing Shockwaves' in that pose. :D

    That barrel attachment looks pretty good.

    I fucking love my Quakeblast! I've transformed him more than any other Masterpiece figure that I have. And CW Shockwave is now my favourite non Iron Factory Legend class figure. I can't wait for TT Laserwave now. Need more Shockwave.

    Thanks, I'm way too paranoid hang it on the wall. I liked the book but I really wish it was purely G1 and not Aligned continuity. But it's fun to play with.

    ??? They're right side up on my IPad. That's weird.

    You guys with all your pretty pretty pictures are going to make me get this guy.

    I think he looks better than the Masterpiece figure.

    It's a possibility. I think I like this more than the official

    To be honest, when I first saw MP SW pictures, it was very good looking.

    But now I have QB in hand and the MP looks so cheap by comparison... I hope the final product will look better (paint etc) but it will be very hard.

    On the other side, it is like Sunbow SW vs Comic SW: one can be beaten by everyone (even Carly), the other kills all at once with a shot.

    QB is the second one, I guess. :)

    I'd honestly debate that the official Shockwave is even "Sunbow" accurate- Shockwave in the cartoon was NOT as dainty and frail looking as the upcoming official figure is. The official DOES look more like the animation in most ways (like color and basic styling), but he is "skinnier" and has a "weaker" look to him- just check out his weak elbow/arm joints and skinner legs to name a couple. And he's also too short in my opinion. YES, that is surely arguable based on animation differences from episode to episode regarding scale, but most times Shockwave was suggeste to be a larger, menacing robot and having him that small also flies in the face of the G1 toys totally. And before anyone says "scale is NOT based on the toys," I'd offer to you that THE REASON THE MINI-BOTS ARE DEPICTED AS MINI-BOTS IN THE TOON IS BECAUSE THE TOYS WERE MINI. Otherwise we don't have a friggin airplane like Powerglide who is smaller than a Datsun- it makes NO SENSE except that they took size cues from the toys. That said, to take what was arguably one of the coolest, BIGGEST and most bada$$ G1 toys and reduce him to the size of a midling robot sucks IMHO. BUT THAT'S ME. :) 

    But I'd agree that Quakeblast is nearly spot on as a representation of the comic version of Shockwave barring some design/detail liberties they've taken along with his somewhat too bulky legs and feet. Further, I'd also say that he is a better representation of the G1 Character I've always had in my head IF YOU'RE GOING BY THE TOY'S BIO CARD and not the cartoon's "humble sycophant of Megatron" version.

    That last part is WHY Quakeblast is MY SHOCKWAVE. :D

    Agreed for the most part (animation varied, as usual)- I was making a point is all and the point still stands. He shouldn't be the SAME size as a regular carbot even. It's still ridiculous and is a toy based scale given that he is an A10 Thunderbolt airplane in alt mode.

    I agree but since the toon brainwashed us i couldn't live with the ultra class one. Gave it to my nephew. Love that legends one though. Want a upscale k.o. of that for my mp shelf. I love planes :)  and giant flying space guns too

    LMAO...

    I'd LOVE a Powerglide the same height as Badcube's Wardog which IS the same height(ish) as a regular carbot. Not sure is the legends one upscaled would do it for me though. That's a nice representation though!

    Some pics to both support AND argue against carbot heights- he's a little too short in the first two pics but in the 3rd he is definitely there...Threw in one of Warpath shown the height of a carbot which is how I prefer him. LOVE THE G1 toon, lol...
