I was actually considering getting him and having him as my Legends Shockwave (hear me out- I like the idea of the mini-Shockwave being the "real" Shockwave and Cyclops being a drone/suit that he controls) but he seems to be pretty expensive on the secondary market and I don't know much about the general opinion on him. I know Vangelus found him kinda scary to transform and his mini-Cyclops was a tad loose.
I have it and I love it, but the transform can be frightening.
Folding the sides of the ship into the "wings" is where the scary bit comes in.
It ALWAYS felt like I was going to snap the plastic.
One of the reviewers (I forget which one) said it only feels that way the first time you transform it, then it loosens up ... I wouldn't know. I opted to go with an alternate transform that does NOT flatten the wings and instead forms square tubes from them. I think it still looks great, and it doesn't feel like it is going to break.
My mini-sub felt fine, but TBH I have not gotten it out in years. I remember wanting the other versions of it though. I never did get them, but I liked it enough that I wanted them.
Think MMC bigger Shockwave is the best non-laser gun Shockwave, vehicle toys out there. Seriously think all of the HasTak update toys for vehicle Shockwave are horrible.
A question to some that own MMC Bigger Shockwave, Does the toy come packaged in robot or vehicle mode?
Speculating some time soon within one to Two Years, HasTak will give us a Voyager or Leader scale Generations, CW or MP Shockwave toy that transforms from robot into a 1985 space laser gun mode.
