Video Review for Transformers Authentics Shockwave

Good review, interesting design, I'm positive that he mistook the underside of the alternate mode as the top side though. Still, fun looking toy!

I think it's trying to be different from the Cyber Battalion version.

Still a better mode than the spider tank.

I disagree, the spider tank can work well, if done properly. And the "voyager" sized shockwave from Cybervers was pretty good.

And I don't remember anyone hating this toy when it came out

The authentics line gets very little attention and that's kind of the point. They are meant to simply be exist and be available at stores that don't often carry Transformers. Be it Dollar General in the US or Canadian Tire in Canada or a myriad of other shops in South America and Asia. They are just affordable Transformers toys of classic characters and now we have a first look at two more, Wheeljack and Arcee. Wheeljack takes a major cue from his Earthrise toy while Arcee has a rather neat transformation giving it a lot more alt mode integration in robot mode, the most we've ever seen for a toy basing itself on the G1 character model. These images are from ACD distribution. There will be no further reveal than this from Hasbro and you will find them this year in any store that stocked the previous releases. Arcee is 4.5 inches tall while Wheeljack is 7 inches tall.

First, Wheeljack has no business looking that good. Wow.

Second, an Arcee with little back kibble and integrated alt mode parts? Wow!

Why does this discount arcee look better than the kingdom one?

You're telling me HasTak knows how to make a decentish looking Arcee toy that DOESN'T have an alt mode growth on her spine?
Please sprinkle this magic onto other Arcees, I'm so tired of having what is basically a feminine human with metal skin and a whole sedan exploding from their back.

I've left this little line alone for the most part because of a)- Lack of availability and b)- just bad.

But Wheeljack and Arcee are pretty cool looking. Not sure if I want them for the collection but wouldn't mind playing with them that's for sure.

Wow!, Actual ankle tilts on an Authentics figure. Who would have guessed.

These are money, I like that they're including weapons now. Maybe we could get a Prime and Bumblebee redo with better limbs and weapons.
