    Love seeing the sculpt breakdown. Shame that it confirms there\'s no torso articulation in this case though. The digital sculpt looks really nice too.

    There's a swivel joint, but that seems to be about it.
    I do wish they'd have made a different blast effect than that squiggly one. It just doesn't look right.

    Wow, I guess I'm the only one that that likes this one.... Not really a RED fan, but with Knockout and this, it looks like they've hit their stride.

    I never once said I don't like it, and I am sure a few more of us do as well ( @analogue ). There are things that could be better, like the articulation not being any better than the Leaderclass one, but I am very much looking forward to this one.

    The recently revealed transparent hands cleans it up for me.

    That's a good point, but i'm more bothered by the grey side skirt armor instead of purple...its often hard to colormatch the purple used, especially when its the plastic color instead of paint

    I still stand by the idea that Pretender shells would be perfect for this line.

    Make the torsos hollow, and then cross-sell them with the Cores.

    Who knows what's in the cards going forward? May very well happen.

    Definitely. Always dug his fruity colour scheme,
    Terry Klassen's weaselly performance & the fact
    despite looking like Shockers he really was a very
    different character. PG11 DIGIBASHES 2.png

    Now that we have the digital renders for the Shockwave figure, maybe someone can make the RED Shockwave out of hard plastic instead of rubber plastic

    You are not alone, I think he looks great. The only negative comment I had was the hilariously limp Megatron gun. It should have been a Shockwave in gun form, he doesn't have that problem. ;)  I have no idea why they didn't do that.


    There was never a chance I was not going to get it, but I think he will look great with all the other G1 figures.

    I loathe that iteration. Yeah, I have the original mold in my Shockwave collection, but that is NOT Sixshot.

    I think that would be the very first Shockwave I would have to really question as to whether I would want it.

    He's not in my Sixshot collection either, no chance of that happening. As for an SG Shockwave? I wouldn't want it, I would NEED it.

    Heheh
    I just have zero love for SG, but I know I'd begrudgingly buy it if made.

    Honestly, I prefer his Russian name: Revolver.
