AM Shockwave pics

[Ode to a Grasshopper]

A Japanese blog has in-hand pics of AM Shockwave. (http://mendoina.blogspot.nl/2012/12/am-29.html)
A few things worth mentioning...
-He's released under the AM/Prime line, so it's stickers and an Arms Micron.
-The Arms Micron can't clip on to his arm to make the gun-hand configuration a la the Hasbro release.:(

The purple's a tad bit better, but the stickers put it off for me. It's a shame, because that light purple is really Shockwavey!

A bit disappointing with the gun, much prefer the Hasbro way of having the gun on his arm.

More images (http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/news/pictorial-review-takara-tomy-transformers-prime-arms-micron-am29-shockwave/26440/), comparing it with the Hasbro version... and showing the extra stickers to give it battle damage.

I was hoping it would be a light purple on the translucent chest piece on this one.

Glad to see Shockwave getting the love but that battle damage is ug-ly. I know you have the option of not applying the stickers, but I prefer the Hasbro version anyway.

The lighter purple looks ok, but the battle damage stickers detract from the figure and make it look worse. Though I like the gun stickers :p
