i wish the alt mode was different
if you look at robot mode and at the pic of the classified outline of him he actually matches
also for the whiners about the elbow joint that LOOKS like it wont bend, if you look you can see an arm under the gun
hope he is leader class
i bet 100000000$$ he will be a leader class
dont get ur panties in a bundle
he will be a leader class
he will be a good fiure

Uh.. I don't think anyone has said the elbows won't bend for the gun... someone just asked if it would bend...

(Old Irish man voice.) The tank mode reminds me of that young psycopathic Shockblast laddy.

I would have preferred him to look a little less stocky. Maybe if the legs were a little longer.

Interesting alt mode; reminds me of Megs' Cybertronian tank , but more streamlined and "sexier" [the toy, not the CG model].

Still waiting to see the inevitable leader class.

That's how you do it, Hasbro! I have to get this guy. Looks to be one of the best Shockwaves yet (I don't have the Animated version so I don't know how good he is).

The tank mode looks nearly identical to RoTF Leader Megs

The bot mode looks nearly identical to the first leader megs, with his tank gun from RoTF strappped on and the wings taken off......

Awesome looking transformer…. If anybody could tell me what the vehicle mode looks like I would be very grateful. The reason why I’m asking what the vehicle mode looks like is because I have a incredibly super-duper slow computer! :BANG_HEAD:

which means I can’t look at stuff on youtube :sad:

Heck it took me eighteen minutes to load the takara newsletter :BOOM:

Another Cybertronian mode... *sigh. No offense but the bot mode should look amazing in this case (which is does), because when you make a cybertronian mode toy you can start with the bot mode first. You can worry later about how you will fold it up to look like something no one needs to recognize later. You certainly cannot make a Bumblebee toy (or any earth mode transformer) as a toy and start with the robot mold first. Imagine if Bee's arms were just carelessly folded onto the roof?

Granted i do think Shockwave should have been the only Transformers with a Cybertronian mode. Though, I am not sure how the Megatron toys from both movie 1 & 2 ended up being garbage in both robot and alt modes. However i restate that Cybertronian modes are not the Transformers that make this amazing franchise so great.

The figure itself isnt too bad, the alt mode is alright, but kinda wanted to use this guy as a stand in for RTS or Genline, but just dont know yet. i know the other figures look like crap! It's like hasbro went back 4 to 6 years in design and detail for the TF3 movie toys.

I like both modes. It's still obviously Shockwave to any Transformers fan and kids will easily pick him out after they see the movie a bajillion times as most kids like to do. I like how it still has the cable going from his back to his cannon and you can see it in tank mode too.
