The Energon Pub

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?

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!

me too I think he fits well enough but obviously a Classics Shockwave would be welcomed.

on whether or not you should get him?stop what your doing and get him now.awesome bot.

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!

go for it
