Like Devastator from Revenge of The Fallen, or the Dinobots from Age of Extinction, I'd hoped for Shockwave to have more of a presence in Dark of The Moon. Sadly, whoever is doing the writing for the Transformers films seems to find it fit to use the coolest characters/designs as little as possible in exchange for more Bumblebee, bland humans, and overzealous product placement.

Still, Shockwave stood out (to me) as one of the cooler character designs from DoTM. That translates well to toy form too! The only thing keeping it from being perfect would be the arm articulation. It's close, but it could have been just a little bit better. Otherwise, I like having this Shockwave stand in with my Universe/Classics Decepticons!

Logic dictates you check out the truncated review for more pictures.

I agree Cyberverse/scout class movie figures are one of my favorite lines , there is some very cool stuff among them .

The little tank guy is called Flack .

Not toys, but here for posterity's sake. I could see the atmosphere, and it was not a fun consistency.

Oh hey, for those of you that know bridges, find the Fremont bridge

The Human Alliance toyline was one I had hoped to get more into, but the stores around here never had much in stock for it, and I ended up with just one of the regular sized guys (Leadfoot) and several of the basic sized ones. Being honest, I rather like the basic sized guys better.

Whirl is one of my favorites from that line. He's just got a goofy build, a goofy alt and robot mode, and a goofy-faced pilot in Major Sparkplug! Not to mention that the weapon mode is as easily open to interpretation as something that's easily open to interpretation! It's hard to not like something this silly-looking!

I'll show YOU open to interpretation!

I figured that I'd better do a review on my Classics Prowl before the paint on him gets so bad as to render him unphotogenic. Such a shame, because he really was one of the highlights of the early Classics toyline with a good amount of articulation and as close a likeness to the G1 character design as possible without any licensing issues from Nissan.

The baton is from my Alternators Prowl, I think it looks better with Classics Prowl though.

I've got the review, if all of you've got the cast-iron manifolds for it!

What's cool is Hubcap is at the same scale as the dinos (1/40 scale). Just in case you ever wondered how big an average Transformer was compared to a T rex.

I don't think this belongs here, but I thought it was awesome and had to share it! A transforming and talking Optimus Prime cake!

Man, I really missed the bus with that figure. Him and reveal the Shield jazz are the two I kick myself most about.

Nice.

With all the special effects here lately, standing around looking cool pics just aren't gonna cut it anymore. The bar has been raised.

Reptilion was one of the early figures released in the Transformers Universe toyline that consisted of repaints, and repaints, and more repaints. So if you like old figures in gnarly new colours, and missed out on G2, you were in luck (kinda)! The colours from the Universe toyline all seemed to orbit closer to gold and purple, then added clashing colours like red and green into the mix. It made for some interesting looking characters though! Like Reptilion!

I never had Transmetal 2 Iguanus, I never found him in stores, so when the opportunity to grab a repaint of the figure came up I jumped on it! I still don't regret it at all. How could I? The figure comes with it's own sheleighleigh! I like asymmetry in figures, and the Transmetal 2 guys all had that going for them too, and that translates to Reptilion here. All around a fun figure to own! I'm surprised that, after all these years, I managed to not lose all the frill pieces as they have a fondness for falling off when I look at them funny.

I'm surprised that, after 4000 tweets, I still have things to review!
