The figure in question is Shockblast from the Energon series. I found it at a flea market loose with box for $25. I looked him up on ebay and he goes for around $50-$80.
The question is, is this guy worth worth it?
Should I buy this figure?

If he is complete and unbroken he's so worth it. I believe some fans have him as their Neo-G1 Shockwave, despite the cannon arm being so overly huge.

I use him for a neo-classics Shockwave. He's a good figure except for his massive cannon arm. The price is good, I say go for it.

What parts, if any, would he be missing? Also looked up a review on Youtube. He seems neat but his arm cannon is overly huge.

The only separate piece is the missile.

A single projectile. I could also see his solar panels being snapped off.

I'm reagerly awaiting a new version of this figure. The energon version just isn't all that great IMO.

Hell yeah buy it, unless it's broken. Even if the missle is lost that's still a pretty good price. He's not perfect, but so far the best new version of Shockwave we've got.

If you do pick it up you definitely gotta give a good inspection. Check if the solar panels and the tri-spires that open up around the tip of the barrel are not only not broken but that they function. I do think that the gimik of that lever that opens up all the panels around that cannon are pretty damn cool. BUT it is a bit bulky and top heavy at times but I learned to look past that so I really dig him.
He is a triple changer but I keep him in one mode or the other. With the acception of the Alternators version and to hell with the Animated version (sorry fans) until we get a new mold in the wake of 2010 TF, Shockblast is a great version of Shockwave 'nuff said!

I personally think that Alternators Shock Blast is better (in my opinion). However if you like the Energon version or need him for collection get him, if not, don't!
