MP Laserwave/Shockwave revealed

I expect Shockwave to be taller than the Autobot cars, because the original size-chart for Gen1 had Shockwave just at Optimus's shoulder height...

I think Hotrod might be a little taller than the Autobot cars, but probably not more than a head taller. (being in front of them in the display case and next to a tall toy can have a bit of an optical illusion effect)

Thanks for that.
I was just coming back to post that someone on TFW had replied to my query, saying that it translates to Defence Commander... which might have been his Japanese toy function (the Hasbro toy had Military Operations Commander*).


(*sometimes it scares me how odd technical details from toys that were released about 30 years ago are still stick in my head... and yet I rarely got better than Cs at school :o )

If it based on that scale, then Shockwave is technically at correct size.

From pics, Shockwave looks taller than ironhide but just about under optimus.

Couldn't give a gibbons rosey-red butthole if he scales correctly with the current Autobit lineup. As I've said twice now:

Pretty simple point based on my own proclivities

He's not half their height though (even the carbots are more than half!) I'd say he's probably a head shorter than Soundwave which will put him very close to Starscream.

If you want something taller my Quakewave will be going up for sale once i can take some pics :)

i'll buy him and display in gun mode next to quakewave in bot mode (or vice versa depending which one looks better as a bot)

Oh my! I didn't see this coming. Though I've never considered the 3rd party figure before, it's good to know that I won't have to cave eventually :p

This is fantastic news. Although I'm still holding judgment until the final product is released whether this or Cloud 9 Quakeblast will be the superior mold. Time will tell. I hope MP wins out though.

Jumping the gun a bit there aren't you Trev? Unless you have some insider info as to how tall he is, we don't know the answer to that yet. All we have is a photo next to Hot Rod, but we don't know how tall he is either!

Just take a deep breath and back away from the keyboard :p

And the price of Quakewave just shot through the floor...

Woop! There it is....

I am not really complaining though, it beats seeing Acid rain by Takara as a new decepticon. I think we really need to appreciate their effort for this one.
