The Planet Iacon facebook page has posted in-hand images of the highly anticipated Transformers Prime Beast Hunters Voyager Wave 2 Shockwave. All three pieces of Beast Hunters armor are fully removable leaving a faithful representation of his cartoon appearance. Images mirrored below.

Love the bot mode; still not diggin' the alt mode.

I'll probably buy this fig, but it will probably stay in bot mode.

Robot mode's pretty nice. I might pick him up after all.

But why does Shocky always get a crummy alt mode? Bring back the space gun if you can't come up with something better.

Ok, that is niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice.

Yep, this one's on the list.

I love him all but his toes. Those toes look bad... in both modes. Guess he goes on the back row behind some minions.

That said, I'm astounded how very, very, good he looks without the armor... and how unconscionably BAD he looks with the armor.

Good size, too. I think he can pass for a FOC Shockwave in a pinch, putting him next to Grimlock there. Looks good.

I almost wish he wasn't so big in robot mode. Grimlock should tower over him. Oh well.

Love it. I like the alt-mode. Now I don't like how his legs look, but I like how his chest becomes the cockpit window.

If I get him I'm making a animal-ish head to clip onto the cannon. Probably with only one eye.

Like a cannon with a Chinese dragon around the barrel? That's an awesome idea.

Screw the alt mode that robot is fantastic best BH & prime figure out of the lot , that 3rd pic makes him look awesome . does the gun come off?

by **kirbenvost** » Wed Mar 06, 2013 1:09 pm

Oh man, so good. One of the best Shockwaves yet. :APPLAUSE:

That is one sexy bot mode I must admit, and I bet we can come up with some kind of fan mode to turn him into either a better looking tank or (hopefully) some sort of gun

.

I'm lovin' it!

The gun is supposed to be his arm, as far as we know. :-?

Not sure if it can detach, but it shouldn't have an arm-with-hand underneath.

Actually the scale is pretty accurate to the Rage of the Dinobots comic, which it is based on along with TFP the show.

I cannot wait to get this guy! He keeps looking better and better! That arm cannon is great and I love that the tank treads become the ammo clip/hose/whatever for the cannon!

Also, is that the Takara version of FOC Grimlock? Or is it just a custom? :-?

by **gothsaurus** » Wed Mar 06, 2013 1:38 pm

I'd love a Takara version with black or gray tank treads.

by **Megatron Wolf** » Wed Mar 06, 2013 1:46 pm

man that alt mode is really bad, robot mode is great but the alt mode had no thought put into it.

They ARE black, what Shockwave are you looking at?
Looks absolutely spectacular, by the way!

by **gothsaurus** » Wed Mar 06, 2013 1:48 pm

I'm looking at the floppy orange stuff. I was thinking the connector to the gun got worked into the tank treads somehow. Maybe I misread a post.

I was looking at the purple on the end of his forearm and at first glimps i thought it might but i just looked again and it won't.

It doesnt look that bad actually. Now someone just needs to make a G1 cannon arm that turns into some kind of a turret cannon for the alt mode. I may buy this as a stand in until Fans Toys makes their voyager sized Shockwave.
