This is easily my favorite figure of the first wave.

Has anyone else noticed that if you take the front off his gun the barrels inside actually have sights on them? When you add in the fact the three pronged piece fits into the slot on his back when in robot mode and I think he was actually intended to use it this way.

All of the FoC figures come with guns from the game. That triple-barreled gun is Shocky's straight-from-the-game weapon. I wasn't aware there was storage for the laser cannon head though, thanks for the tip! Obviously if you leave the laser cannon part on, it's more accurate to Shockwave's signature gun.

Yea I know the gun is game accurate but I just thought it odd that they would bother to mold detail on the barrels underneath the removable part (as well as not making it one piece which would have been cheaper).

Agreed. On the other hand, there are only three figures in the first wave, and the other two are pretty disappointing.

I would agree that out of the three he is my favorite, but after getting some cybertron figures in the mail today the plastic and downsizing of the figures now is disappointing.

Isn't Shockwave's gun also a Scrapmaker when you take the barrel off?

Yeah, that's what we were talking about. And thanks for bringing up what it's called, I didn't know offhand.

Firstly, I am a really big fan of Shockwave. I've always enjoyed his callousness and precision.

At first, my heart leapt when I saw a few of them on the pegs at my local Target.

Then, I got closer and put it in my hand. Ummm....

VERY disappointed. I put it back and haven't regretted it once. The damn thing is so TINY, and the alt mode is MEH to say the least. $14.99 for the same amount of plastic as some Star Wars and G.I. Joe figures?

No thanks. It's pretty bad when you can't even justify buying what is supposed to be one of your favorite characters.

Always been a fan of Shockwave since G1.

Like the others, I'm not liking the downsizing. But on the bright side, I think he's in scale with deluxe WFC Megatron--in FOC's Megatron Returns stage, when you walk Megatron up to him by the dropship, he's visibly smaller than Megs.

Sucks that my hobby store sells him as a set with OP and Jazz.

I figured this out a couple of days ago, just posted it in the "thing You Transformer can do..." thread, looks a bit like a jetpack when attached.
