Mate I can barely tolerate half an hour of painting before my eyes scream "TOO MUCH FOCUSING! WE WANT TV!"

aww man, that's a really cool figure...
I might have to get a jazz to make one myself.

Im sorry, I just dont like the concept. Dumb. Just plain dumb. Especially with Generations Shockwave just a few months away. At least when Funpub made "young Kup" in 2009, they did it a couple years before Generations Kup came out. I dont see any people using this figure to stand in as Shockwave.

And why in the blue hell is the guy in the last picture dressed like puss in boots ???

I..uh..wow, that's a fancy hat.

pretty interesting recolor, although the weeds of continuity are rough to wade through
however, regardless of definition of customizing, this is a cool toy to walk away with after the con

I like this as a choice for them to do.

After feeling shafted from having them do figures that would be great as collector's club, or exclusive releases; G2 Sideswipe, and Animated Minerva, I feel like this is a good choice.

If I were in the class, I would feel happy about being able to make a Shockwave, and cool that it refers to his Alternator/BT. As a collector, I don't feel like I got shafted because I am not there, because this is not a figure that is a MUST HAVE, like the other two.

Great choice, FunPub, HASbro, and Mr. Tessman.

As for character mysteries, he seems to be part of SG Nightbeat's Autobot Secret Police, given the emblem on his roof. According to TFWiki he disguises himself as G1 Shockwave (he probably got the idea from the separate BT Timeline) to investigate the war between Classicsverse and Shattered Glass Universe.

And get this: in the Classicsverse (which ignores the Marvel UK and G2 comics) the real Shockwave is nothing more than a head hooked on life support. So the disguise works as the real Shockwave is out of commission.

I said the same thing in a post elsewhere. This is a really cool figure I'd love to have if it were a half-way reasonable price, but at the same time, nothing that leaves a gaping hole in my collection by not having. And it has a bunch of cool references to other figures. Exactly what a figure of this nature should be IMO.

I love the addition of the Shockwave head as an homage to the Alternators figure. I'd buy this in a heartbeat if it was a retail release. But now I'm even MORE confused as to why they're calling it "Longarm". Did they just pull a random name out of a hat?

AS far as I know, without reviewing the fiction again, it is in relation to Animated's Shockwave being Autobot Longarm when he was infiltrating the Autobot Communications.

Why they did not just call it Alternators Shockwave or what not, has to do with that fiction piece that was brought up a few posts earlier.
