Wriggler's asleep, so...
S H O C K W A V E !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dark of the Moon Voyager!
If their was one character I wanted in the 3rd film after a certain Autobot police car, then it would be Shockwave! His onscreen characterisation may have been poor, but his voyager DOTM toy has cold logic and emotionless malevolence all over it! SUPERB robot mode- looks powerful, alien, dynamic. Great use of color, the familiar and required purple, with good use of grey to break it up, partic on his excellent 'ribs'. Weapon is very cool (although as with all mechtech it annoyingly springs back to its original position). But the head/face sculpt, oh mama, made me sex wee with joy. I've only seen the film once, but I think it's very movie accurate, but more than that, it just looks freakin' evil! Terrifying infact! The perfect Movie-verse Shockwave head/face! My only slight complaint is that the arms kinda hang funny down his sides, and my figs right arm pops off very easily. But this is forgiven for the menacing yet beautiful overall sculpt. Well done designers.
Alt mode, for a 'Movie-verse Cybertronian' alt mode, isn't too bad at all. Maybe Shockers should have had an Earthy alt mode, like in that computer game a few years ago where I believe he was an attack helicopter, or hell, maybe he should have been a great fook-off Space-gun, but his tank mode looks ok, and plays well. I'm fiddling with it to see if I can get a space-ship mode out of it!
Size is ok. DOTM Voyagers appear to be a head smaller than the voyagers in the last movie lines (and therefore may not 'look right' when displayed with other figs from previous movie lines), and voyager Optimus and Megatron both suffer from disproportionally small torsos. Not Shockwave! He's bulky, but not too bulky, and fits in well with voyagers from the other lines.
Overall, I'm over the Dark of the Moon with him (heh, see what I did there?!). He's brilliant.
Voyager Shockwave is a MUST HAVE, Cyber-Chumbs, a MUST HAVE. I'm so excited by what a leader class version would look like! (only a rumor only a rumor!)
Kisses, Shockprowl.
