Go on then, I'll take him. I'm an official figure kind of guy and a G1 nut, even though G1 Shockwave wasn't bloody fuschia pink. More good news, I also think I've found Tidalwaves minicon Ramjet. I can see a small bubble wrap package that's fallen down behind a shelving unit that looks suspiciously like the package he and the tank weapon came in.

And I have a spare set of arms for him with a slight caveat. They're for the Energon version so they're white, gold and translucent green. You're welcome to them if you want them though?

They'll more than do until some correctly coloured ones come up on ebay!

Don't worry about postage. You just need to wait a week or so until I can get the unit cleared and moved to get the package.

Just looking at some pictures of Shockwave in gun & robot mode. The legs - so they are built up for robot mode but the gun looks like they are hollow inside - so where do the inner legs which look like they fold away go?

They form the rear of the gun. Transformation's really nice, actually.

The image I have looked at from the rear you see both Shockwave's feet snug together & not wide apart I hope someone posts some image of his legs transformation. the inner sides may fold infront of the feet?

Errr, can't remember now... The rear of the gun mode kinda swings and spins and forms the inner lower leg.

If you look at this review from the point I've bookmarked it you can see the leg transformation.
I have parted with my Shockwave. It was just too much cash to tie up in a figure that had no purpose in my display. Fortunately I got back what I paid for it, so I need speak of the disappointment no more. I may consider a darker purple repaint if they do one, but having actually had the figure now it'll take an awful lot for me to part with £100 on it again.

I was so frustrated at Botcon. I saw Shockwave and loved the mould, but those colours. Uh!
On the Sunday BBTS had a display toy reduced to only $120 and I still couldn't bring myself to buy it. (the absolute lack of space in my suitcase might also have been a factor). But now I wont be able to justify buying this version of shockwave for more than $120. So I must now hope for a darker purple version or live without MP Shockwave. FOREVER!!!!!

No I really really want it. I love the look of it and genuinely dislike whats his name 3p guy.
Rather than seeing Shockwave as too small I have always seen Prime and Soundwave as too big. Ignore those two and Grimlock is the big guy he should be, Rodimus is tall but slim, the strike jets are the right size and the autoibot cars dont look like they belong to a whole other line. Shockwave looks like he'd line up perfectly with that lot.

I hope there is a darker purple one to come. I'd have said it sounded unlikely, but then we now have minty white Red Alert and a pre-faded repaint, so it suddenly seems almost certain. Given Takara's desire to go for pre-Transformer paint schemes on the repaints though, there is a question of the Astro Magnum grey.
Might get both. Don't see why not.

Have Hasbro just chucked the Masterpiece line altogether then? Did Sunstorm and its endless TRU shelf warming kill any further UK releases?
|

Post by Pinwig on Apr 15, 2016 22:44:22 GMT
UK releases would depend on US releases, and there isn't much going on there either. We did at least get confirmation that while the US got Prowl it was cancelled here.
Now that Generations isn't a TRU exclusive line like it used to be I'd imagine they'd be up for more MPs as exclusives. They still want that kind of thing as the loony Price platinums last year showed.
