PROS:
- Robot mode looks AMAZING, I think it's screen accurate and though the colors are simple - they're so badass. There's so much detail to this guy too
- Relative to DOTM Voyager Megatron Shockwave's is simpler and less worrying as parts are seemingly more stable
- 2 Badass Mechtech weapons, a giganto gun that reminds you of 2007 Megatron's FUSION CANNON and a cool looking forearm blade.
- Articulation is actually very good, Shockwave can facepalm himself!
- The vehicle mode has an impressive feature where the front cybertronian wheels that don't look like they roll actually do roll.

CONS:
- Minor articulation problems. I wish the shoulder joints could have the option to be lowered on an additional swivel joint on the coronal plane. I also wish his neck joint allowed him to look up and it would have been nice to have wrist rotation. ALso would have liked waist articulation on the axial/horizontal axis. THese are minor complaints though.
- This guy looks awesome on the FRONT, on the back it's mostly exposed gaps of transformation which is understandable, again, minor complaint.
- Would have been nice if the hose that connects to Shockwave's gun would be longer, it does limit articulation!
- Not a big fan of the vehicle mode, but eh, it's a Cybertronian vehicle. It does have the two MechTech ports which offers hours of fun putting together different MechTech weapons

OVERALL:
This toy is probably one of the best toys for this year and the Movie Line. You can tell more effort went into the design of this one as opposed to VOyager DOTM Prime. Though there are plenty of minor flaws to this toy, I'm willing to forgive them considering the shift in costs and that this toy has such an amazing presence to it.
