Shockwave :"the character and the toys"

Postby starblackconvoy » Sun Jan 06, 2008 7:13 pm

i was thinking that there could be a whole post just for shockwave. it could be a discussion for the toys and the overall character. so, what do you think of this legendary TF?

He's a good character. Energons the best toy of him that's bout it i guess. Idk why we need an official forum for him though?

He would be Energon's best toy but sadly they OVER over exadurated his gun arm.

The origional figure, is just amazing though. Electronics, a gigantic size, a unique style different from the rest of the line up, and (for the time) exellent articulation that rivaled anything else out at the time save JetFire.

Still, as increadably bad ass as he is, without even getting into the shows and comics, his own forum is a little much.

After all the's only had a few figures.

Still, a thread dedicated to how much he kicks ass is a pretty good thing in it's own right :APPLAUSE: :APPLAUSE: :APPLAUSE:

Well the Energon toy was a really good version of him. Although the Arm was just overkill. I'm sure it could have been done differently. Still one of the better representations of the character, even if they changed the name a bit.

But one good point is he does have a very nice Unnoffical Gun mode.

Then we have the unreleased Titanium Prototype, which I think looks really cool:

I hope they release a Shockwave for Universe. Even if its not based on the Titanium Mold.

yeah. i know. but he's just a great character and no one really knows him [generally speaking]. he doesn't get the credit that the actual character deserves. everyone knows the big characters and doesn't take the time to look at the smaller ones.

As a matter of fact, I did.

Took the pic of the gray Prototype and "photoshopped" in some color. I think it looks pretty good.

That ProtoType needs some love!

I'm kinda glad that Titanium didn't do it, cause they do look great, but aren't realy play friendly.

I would love to see Classics take a crack at it thought!

COME ON STUPID HASBRO, YOU KNOW IT WILL SELL!!!

on a side note, I just won a second Mach Kick vs Archadias set. I never opened my origional, Mach Kick is the only bot I have that I never once transformed, so guess what I'm gonna go do now :D

I've liked Shockwave since G1, when I was a kid I always felt bad for him because Megatron had left him behind when everyone else went onto Earth. I really like how they showed him in the IDW comics though, thanks to that 1 issue I have a little area of just Shockwaves in my main collection.

I really hope they release that titanium mold though, nice recolor Overcracker looks good
