Hi guys, here is my leader class dark of the moon shockwave. He was built to fall into the DMK range as well as normal leader class figures. Just like other DMK figures he is non transformable as i wanted to pack lots of detail and accuracy into this guy. As i mentioned he is entirely scratch built by me so he was not built around a base figure its all original, also i know that there are a couple of guys offering cast heads and ribcages for sale but i didnt use
any cast parts from other customizers at all,my head and ribcage were scratchbuilt by me :) .

He includes lots of hidden mechanical details as well as little features like cybertronion tattoos that are etched into his sword and gun. theres a huge amount of hand sculpted work on this to ensure maximum acuracy. he is a bit taller than my leader class megatron to keep him in scale with the movies as he was taller than megatron and prime not to mention alot more muscled, he was freakin huge in the film. he has loads of articulation too,
he has



-ball joint waist

-light up LED eye

-ball joint neck

-posable pods on upper back

-ratcheting shoulders, in out and 360 degrees

-individually posable shoulder armor

-ratcheting elbows

-bicep swivel

-ball joint wrist

-individually posable fingers

- posable waist spikes

-posable rear waist armor

-ratcheting hip movement up down in out

-knee bends and swivels for greater posability

-knee armor is posable

-lower rear calf armor is posable

-ball joint ankle

-foot spikes are individually posable as are the extra "toes"



i am really happy with how his feet came out, doing all those weird alien foot parts was a pain but i like how they came together in the end. the battery for his LED is well hidden but easily removable for replacement. this guy had
even more scratch building than my leader megatron so i hope you like him. he is for sale too so if anyone wants him just email me. ok well let me know what you think ok. bye bye

That is an amazing Shockwave! I love how youve had hom look like he takes a large amount of steroids, LOL. Very nice job here indeed. You should be proud of that one. He does need his purple though.

Well, all I can say is that is pretty bloody amazing man! :eek:

Congrats on an incredible custom! ;):cool:
(He really should've been given a Leader Class figure IMO)

Hehe I loved how beefy he was in the film :) he wasn't really very purple though and I was going for a movie accurate paint scheme, he does have subtle purple metallics in all the right spots though.
