Thanks to Seibertronian Cyberpath and Blacklai@tfnd.net, we finally have in-hand images of the highly sought Masterpiece Shockwave! These images show off many of the functions and the transformation of Shockwave, and it is seen that he actually has Two light up functions: one for the gun barrel in alternate mode and one for the arm cannon in Robot mode! Check out some of the images mirrored below and you can take the link above to see all the images. Does this make you excited for your Shockwave to come? Are you ready to order one? Let us know what you think in the comments section, and stay tuned to Seibertron.com for all your latest Transformers news and galleries!

It seems that Takara oped for stickers over tampos so fans would have a choice between cartoon-accurate insignias and regular Decepticon insignias. But why would anyone want the Sunbow symbols now when all the other MP toys already have the regular ones?
I hate stickers, never liked them. They wear out, and there's no guarantee you'll apply them straight in the first place. I hope this doesn't become a new trend in the MP line. I love how modern toys have sculpted details, paint apps, and tampos.

Wait...so they fvck up the seeker wing symbols, but NOW they offer stickers?

We know Ratchet's shoulders are stickers. I worry this is going to become a thing. I too like the raised tampos on the likes of Prime. On the plus side, this means we can put the symbols on where we want.

So I'm pretty ambivalent to the character of Shockwave; I like his David Warner-ish voice but other than that don't really like or hate him. I'm super excited for this release though. Not sure if it's because the original toy looked super neat (and I never had it) or if it's because the last few "big" MPs (Soundwave, Ultra Magnus, Starsaber) have been good times all around, but I can't wait to get this guy.
I wonder if we'll see a grey Shockwave/Astro Magnum version as "Longarm" or something...

Shockwave looks great, if I collected Masterpieces he'd definitely be an instant buy. 
Unlike with Galvatron I really prefer this lighter purple, as apposed to the darker purples the third party companies used for their Shockwaves.

Was hoping for a super annoying,loud laser sound but this guy is such pure awesome he's just fine without it. Can't wait to get him (next week!)in all his Sunbow accurate goodness!

Probably because he's in Sunbow colors and they figured some people would want the stickers to go with them. I wonder if they'd still include the Sunbow stickers on a dark purple version or go with just tampos?

Interesting
Dark purple would mean toy accurate and the toy had stickers so... they probably would give stickers too, maybe. What surprizes me is that without a tamp (or a rubstamp), this toy ends up being like Quakewave where fans must place a sticker on it

Shockwave is looking great, but again, Takara seems to go a little too light on their shade of purple. They do this often with Cyclonus and especially Galvatron too. Do they know or see something we don't? I swear the purples used for the character models on the shows are darker/deeper than the ones Takara chooses for their toys. What's the deal?
