Yeah the figure looks amazing. Too bad the character got horribly mistreated on screen.EvasionModeBumblebee wrote:I've come to appreciate Shockwave a whole lot more after working on painting it for a while. The robot mode screen accuracy is incredibly on-point!

Yes. Now go to your room and don't play with yourself.

Indeed, him being a red herring is something of potential but he was nothing more then that, at least he needed a bunch to take him down even if he didn't really fight back much but it was still unfortunate his role was so minor after being built up in the marketing and prequel material.
I've always thought it would of been better if Sentinel was working with Shockwave instead of Megatron with Megatron completely in the dark regarding their plan, with the two of them using him for his remaining Decepticons before usurping him completely after the initial Chicago invasion which would be a more convincing reason for Megatron to turn on them, Soundwave would have been in league with them prior to the film while Starscream takes the opportunity to join them, the other Decepticons such as Barricade would not know of the usurpation and continue as is.
The final "fight" would be Optimus and Megatron teaming up against Sentinel and Shockwave with the latter leaving Sentinel for dead when things start to turn around which would clue in to Sentinel that their plan truly wasn't what he was fighting for so he dies with genuine regret, with Megatron dying to Shockwave because I don't really see a good way for everyone to just let him go due to the all the things he was responsible for, this leaves a more satisfying final clash with Shockwave with the ending resuming the way it does after the Sentinel execution in the final film since all that was fine.

In a live action film, you'll always get humans (otherwise its just a cgi cartoon, just like how the recent Lion King movie is mislabelled live action when there's only one shot that's live action)

He is really an incredible figure and I can not express how good it makes me feel that I have one of my favorite transformer designs in my collection now. Studio Series is really making a lot of my childhood (and now) dreams come true!

This way they could have avoided the messy Galvatron business in the next movie while KSI would salvage Shockwave for knowledge about Transformers which would play nicely into his hands since he would know exactly how to manipulate them into making him a new body and an army to control while also explaining why things like KSI Boss (at least the toy, in fiction) and "Two-Head" look so much like Shockwave.
To be on topic, I really wish Target would hurry up and ship Overload now that he's in stores. They're really starting to lag behind after being so timely with ER Doubledealer. (Yes, I realize I'm being slightly dramatic since they only just started showing up in stores, but I'm getting anxious to complete Devastator.)

I frankly don't care about grammar in this day or age because I'm unable to remember it properly anyways.
As long as what I write is understandable that's all I care about.

ello, I found the john dimaggio meaty robot from dotm, aka, #transformers Leadfoot! outta the box, there are only plastic strings holding down the missiles! also, the instructions have these pointless steps for prepping the robot but don't mention having to extend the hips out
robot looks good! though, the articulation is iffy and the legs look bland. the biggest issues are these missiles, they plug in the armpit to fill in the void, but barely stay on and also restrict the should movement. another issue is the shoulders not plugging to the chest
the car mode looks great though! not perfect though, the missiles look tacked on and the machine guns fall off when you breathe on em. still, great car mode, and overall, not a bad toy! I love the lil steeljaw statue too
OH couple more things. the car doesn't roll too well. steeljaw has no joints but he does have these two tabs on his bum end. so yeah, the toy isn't bad, but the eh articulation, gaps, bland areas that need paint, and other mentioned problems drag the toy down a few notches

Its kind of like Basic Instinct, but not in a good way...
Goddammit, now I can't unsee it.
