If he was reduced, then yes, because I would just forget about the terrible kibble and have an awesome voyager Shockwave, like he should have been

The satellite is just a bunch of extra parts that would have been better used to improve the bot and tank modes, the bot mode is beyond compromised by the giant arm and inward elbow on the good arm, and the tank mode just looks like he's sitting down while practicing his body builder poses.
I barely call that a transformation.

I wrote a post that admittedly might have been too long, but when I went to post it, the thread was gone. And I neglected to copy first, so I lost it. Which serves me right for not being more cautious seriously I could write a light novel on Beast Wars figures and why I love them.

Because its a good solid figure and folks like you need to stop thinking height is is what leader class is in this line because its not.
It's still a Voyager figure, with a lot of unnecessary kibble, just to push the price point up.

I agree siege shockwave (as with the entire line) is vastly overrated. It has a great robot mode but the alt mode isnt great. If its suppose to be the best ever be all end all figure then it needs an amazing alt mode & robot mode, it only has the robot mode. Its the same with cyberverse, the alt modes are garbage but the robot modes look good. If we're only going off robot mode then why isnt action master shockwave listed? Its literally the G1 cartoon model made physical. What about beast hunter voyager shockwave? It has s nice looking robot mode thats a mix of G1 & movieverse and also has a decent alt mode, way better than either cyberverse toy.

Plus it suffers from a rather crazy flaw. You have to detach it's canon arm to transform it properly. The toy as designed, cant actually pull off it's alt mode (as lackluster as it may be) properly if you keep it attached.

What's wrong with being "simply a toy in the Prime line"? And why would not being good enough to make the Prime list instantly disqualify it from this list? It's not like there were other Shockwave figures in that list that were better. Plus in the previous list you thought he was good enough for the #5 spot while the Cloud figure only got an honorable mention so how did it get bumped completely this time while the Cloud figure, an actual obsolete stand in repainted from a not all that great mold, placed?

The problem is without disconnecting it the gun doesn't point straight, it points off to the side a little, even on the Go! figure. For me it's just slightly annoying, not a huge bother.
