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

That sounds pretty neat. Hope you're able to get your hands on it. Love to see how it would look on him!

The only figure I want out of all these is shattered glass prime but I wanna take a maketoys battle tanker head and pant it to match because I hate the head that comes on the figure. As far as gigatron goes his head is to blochish for that body it looks funny to me and I can stand metal hawks face. I feel like I'm looking at a dollar store robot and I hate that whole mold to begin with its a horrible transformer with a horrible transformation. Other than that the rest of the figures are ok but not worth that much money IMO

After hours behind the the lens and in front of the computer Seibertron has finally closed the book on the BotCon 2012 exclusive galleries. The final figures to get the gallery treatment:

• 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.

I submit this for the next caption contest!

I laughed so hard when I saw this!

I'd love a Classics Spinister, and whilst the Botcon version is pretty good, it's not enough. I'd get it if it were retail, but can't see me spending ebay money on it. Kick-Off, on the other hand, is amazing. Best repaint of this mold yet. Noticed it in the line-up of the Longarm gallery, and glad it's getting its own. I could see myself spending the extra to have this one.

Shattered Glass Prime didn't really do it for me in the Voyager mold, which I like much better, so this one is just a waste to me. And Ducktopunch is, like Spinister, nowhere near close enough to the character I'd want to get, looks quite nice though.

Or hasbro should mass release it.

(wouldn't be the first time an exclusive got mass released...)

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)!

As much as I want that figure to work, SG Octopunch really needed a remolded head to pull off the character. This just doesn't do it for me.

Actually, looking at the breathing mask, the Sea Spray mold has me wondering. With a few new parts to make the alt mode a starship instead of a hovercraft, could this figure be used for Omega Surpreme?

Not for nothing but this figure sucks as shockwave. And people are charging $1000 for it that's nuts I hope no one is paying that price and it's not so much the body of the figure it's the head and the blaster just looks cheap

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