    What?! Are they seriously asking around 200 dollars for a 100 dollar figure that the only effort they put into was changing the plastic pellet color?!

    I'm sorry, but nope, I'm getting off this ride. They are at Apple levels of greed here.

    I’m buying the new Shockwave. But, I’m just not sure I need a Toy deco Megs. Maybe if I see pics where you can switch out the chest plate, and an animation colored head sculpt is included?

    29+ maybe. 36+ no, since it doesn't fit the collection.

    Not gonna lie, Shocky's looking way more tantalizing in dark purple, but is it just me or did they square off the front of his head?

    Well, it pointed itself in more correct direction. But those marked up prices, they're gonna sting.

    But is it the Shockwave you need much less, deserve?

    It's hard to tell in some pics but it does look like they painted the black in a square instead of a hexagon.

    I hope they include the other faces for megs that chrome and the toy decals with the first release face would be perfect for me.

    You are right, looks like this is another attempt at doing a toon based deco?

    Which leads me to ask, would there ever be an actual toy deco? The toy has a black hose and actual metal legs and feet. Also an insignia on chest not arms...

    I admit Shockwave looks much better in these colors! Megatron I'm getting for pure nostalgic purposes. He reminds me so much of the G1 toy I have to have him! Good times!:)
