craggy wrote:A Voyager sized Shockwave would fit with the other Classics Decepticons a hell of a lot better than an MP sized one. In the cartoon he was the same size as Megatron more or less. Same in the comic. Same in the other comic. Same in the current comics. Same in the colouring books and most other fiction. He didn't even really shrink in alt mode (since Bruticus held him as a gun, and he was huge)so there's no mass-shifting to worry about. Megs was around the same size as Prime and they're both a head or two taller than the majority of their troops. In the Classics line, sure there are some bots who seem a little short or tall, but the majority of the rank and file are Deluxe size, and Megs and Prime are both available in both Voyager and Deluxe sizes in some body or another. There are far more instances where the vague Classics scale is more accurate than the original 80s toyline.
The MP line is certainly more accurate to the cartoon designs, but being larger, it's more expensive and takes longer for characters to come out. The Classics size has been used by multiple lines over the years, allowing for a wider range of characters and the inclusion of characters not even present in the original G1 series, but whom many might want to include in their collections. I'd wager more people have Classics collections than Masterpiece ones, who might want a Shockwave like this.
It seems like the majority of collectors who post here prefer their toys to match in size more to one fictional representation of the characters or another rather than the original sizes of the original toys. Likely because most of us are only concerned about getting these new versions because of an investment in the characters themselves or at least the franchise in general rather than just the original toys. I'd have thought that if all one was interested in was having a collection of the original toys, it'd be more rewarding to collect the original toys.

classics Generations in 2014-2015 are getting leader scaled toys. Quakewave is going to scale nicely and evenly next to 30th leader scale Megatron and 30th leader scale Jetfire.
Hasbro said at the 2014 NYC Toyfair in February. In a interview, That Five Leader scaled Generations toys were planned for the 2014-2015 years. So Quakewave is going to have more generations toys to scale head to next to.

Sorry for being OT, but I saw KO MP-10 for sale - you didn't like it?
Also, did you end up taking comparison pics?

http://toynewsnetwork.blogspot.com/2013 ... rmind.html Its a great toy for those wanting FT Quakewave to be Voyager Scale.
Seriously wondering how long it will take MMC to release of all these promised upcoming toys. Like the fembots,carnifex Overlord & MMC Shockwave. Hoping none of these get cancelled due to Feral Rex taking so long to release.

That Toy was a joke. MMC is not making it. I believe they're making quickswitch/sixknight out of the mold and was just poking fun showing it off as a perceptor, brainstorm, and shockwave, none of which will be made.

In fairness, there was a time when Arcee wasn't going to be made. Fan interest can go a long way toward making something like that happen. I'd consider that Shockwave. I'd seriously consider it.
Sometimes I feel like MMC is that really cute girl in school who is a really good friend, flirts with me all the time, but never really considered being my girlfriend...

So, I got up this morning, after sleeping in and not reading any Transformers news yesterday, and spewed coffee all over my screen when I saw the Shockwave pre-order at BBTS and news and pics here at Seibertron.
Yeah, sorry FT. If you were quicker and shipped the re-issue last month... I cancelled my order for this and am waiting on the Masterpiece now. The price was, what, $20 different?
