Unfortunately Seibertron didn't make it out of the class with the custom blaster, with any luck a replacement can be secured and the gallery will of course be updated.

Perhaps when that happens (if not sooner), maybe some additional comparison pics with Alternators Shockblast could be added as well?

Seibertron wrote:I would like to do some comparison pictures of that ... maybe in due time. Just trying to get these galleries posted. While Botcon ended for most people 15 or 16 days ago, I've still been working on BotCon stuff non-stop. I've got about 80 hours or so into these 15 galleries during the past 2 weeks. I just need to get them posted at this point. I really want to put BotCon 2012 to bed ... tired of working on BotCon stuff for the past 4 weeks or so (was working on the BotCon 2010 galleries before BotCon 2012).

I'd also like to do comparisons with the original versions of all of these toys (i.e. G1 Overlord, Metalhawk, e-Hobby Road Rage, "Diaclone" Ultra Magnus, Universe Treadshot, G1 Spinister, G1 Octopunch, and Action Master Kick-Off but I just didn't have time to do all of that).

I need to turn my focus back to current toys such as the Transformers Prime figures so that I can get their galleries posted in the next week or two.

Yeah, kiddies don't look.

It's a resin Shockwave style cannon that has a ball joint on the end. You had to paint it.

• Kick-Over, tired of the Action Master scene he "kicked" the Nucleon habit and regained his ability to transform. A repaint/remold of the RtS Special Ops Jazz mold with a brand new head sculpt.
  
• Spinister joins the Classic universe in the form of a HFTD Tomahawk featuring the Takara exclusive DOTM Vortex head mold.
  
• Shattered Glass Optimus Prime has lost a little weight since he debuted in the 2008 BotCon boxset. He now utilizes the RtS G2 Optimus Prime mold.
  
• Octopunch may be a Shattered Glass figure but he retains enough of his G1 Pretender shell's color scheme to sneak onto your Classics shelf. This guy is a repaint of HFTD Seaspray.

Oh CHMS where art thou?

Hasbro would definately be winning with this as a mass release, they couldn't get it wrong (unless they failed to add the blaster on his left arm)!

For all us Shockwave lovers heres one of my fave versions, Alternator Shockwave (Shockblast)!

That's because those pieces are cheap. They're cast from resin and aren't from hasbro

Myself I still don't understand why people want this Shockwave, through Hasbro means of otherwise, I mean, we're getting a perfectly good Shockwave a few months from now, one that looks all Shockwave and not just the head and arm cannon, so why's there still this need for a wider release of this one?
