Other way around: the cartoon and comics were faithful to the toy's transformation. Remember, in the first two years, toy molds first, cartoon and comics later. In Shockwave's case, google "Astro Magnum"
And it's completely logical Laserwave will be best the Masterpiece in existence.
That trend also happened with Beast Wars, RID and the unicron trilogy. To thepoint where the Cybertron transforming animations were nothing more than toy commercials.
This is what they want you to do. Price is made up as a purposeful overestimate to try and salvage some QW preorders since those are coming out very shortly (supposedly). I'll be very surprised if Shockwave runs more than $120 from an importer.zodconvoy wrote:It's the same height as Ironhide and cost $20 more than Quakewave both of which are deal breakers for me. Quakewave re-preordered.
(Shockwave preordered too just in case.)

Judging by reactions here and elsewhere, it's just smart business. I ain't mad at em, but I definitely know my B.S. detector went off hard when I saw the '$179 and we'll lower it if MSRP is lower' rhetoric.william-james88 wrote:Thats smart Scotty. BBTS' main market is us collectors and judging from the feedback I read here, they probably did indeed wake up to a bunch of cancelled preorders or are at least very aware of that potential. Kind of skeevy since we wont get Takara's MSRP before those QW preorders come in.

BBTS has Quakewave listed for $154.99 and MP Shockwave for $174.99. For me, QW is a known quantity that works great with the Decepticons already available for less money.

At last, some non-seekeris getting some love! After the amazing Soundwave and crew, it's natural that Shockwave got the MP treatment! It's hard to tell from the pictures, but will it be the same size as Soundwave? Also, will his altmode, the iconic laser-blaster, have lights and sound? How about a huge-ass orange plug on the end of the barrel?

Well, I'm so Glad I dint had to sell a kidney for Quakewave. However, I'm sure many fanboys will STILL have something to complain about. I'll bet my left nut on it.

Could have been issues with the IP.

If you're assuming that that Hot Rod is the same height at Prowl, it is best not to do so based on this:
Hot Rod ought to be taller than Prowl, putting Shockwave around the height of the bigger Hasui MPs.
I said Hot Rod, didn't I?phantom1592 wrote:Sabrblade wrote:How can you tell?zodconvoy wrote:I reordered Quakewave because Shockwave looks to be shorter than Soundwave.

Is that Hot Rod or Rodimus Prime?
