Courtesy of the Hasbro archives we get a look at the instruction sheet for the upcoming Transformers Prime Beast Hunters Voyager Wave 2 Shockwave. It should to without saying at this point, but these instructions 100% verify that all three pieces of Beast Hunter armor are removable in both modes. We've mirrored the sheet below, the PDF can be found be clicking here.

Mostly what I had expected. Only thing I was uncertain of was where the head went and the cannon's power conduit/tank tread.

Good to have confirmation about the tank hose/tread!

This one I really might consider. Just to round off my Prime shelf. :-?

Yeah, this is officially the best toy in the line.

He's a good looking figure, but I'm just not sure he'll work on my Classics shelf.

Hence, the figure being in the prime line and not generations.

Okay so the cannon is the arm, not a snap-on weapon... kind of disappointed, honestly - makes it harder for customizers to re-purpose as another character. I can't tell from the official pics: does the Cyberverse have a cannon-arm also, or a snap-on weapon?

Not sure about the Commander, actually. Looks fairly fixed to me.

But I actually like that the arm cannon is a cannon-arm!
Surely G1-esque fans will also appreciate this feature.

Just out of curiosity, what other character could you get out of Shockwave? :-?

Most prominently, Six Shot.

Perhaps some head-swapping for a Longarm Prime. Would work better if the cannon were detachable.

So despite the fact that the entire character of Shockwave is based on a toy robot that had a cannon for an arm, you want Hasbro to make it as a generic robot holding a gun so you can re-purpose it? 8-}

Add to this: he wants to turn it into a character that was blatantly Shockwave but with the wrong name (probably due to losing the copywrite on the name):

He's actually show accurate (unlike DotM voyager) and someone is complaining :HEADHURTS:

I'm happy that I was wrong to say he'd be a parts former.

We know he's showing up in the show, but not if he'll be a regular cast member!
