FT-03 Shockwave

[Trent]

From the thread on TFW, looks like fanstoys next attempt will be a masterpiece scaled G1 Shockwave. From thread discussion they are looking at a February release and a total of $150 (including shipping)

That's a pretty good price for a MP scaled TF. Hopefully the quality is up there because they will make a lot of people very happy if it's good!

Seems as though they have kept this quiet for fear that Takara would jump them again.

Why the hell not

Risky. This is something that HasTom may announce as a Masterpiece while this is in development.

It is interesting though.

[Megatron]

ooh yes..

[VERT]

Okay I want one

Wow if all you have to do to get a real MP figure is try to make a 3rd Party one.

So I hope they start working on Galvatron soon.

I hope it's too scale with MP10. It does seem like the sort of figure Takara might do though or then again might not, they really like to keep us in suspense with Shockwave.

This figure appears to have less additional detail compared to the protype shots for their Soundwave. I wonder if that's because they rushed it, or want it to fit in with the current HasTak MP's.

That would be very good value for money for a third party release. For some reason that prototype's Energon Barricade blue and white plastic looks right on Shockwave

The latest prototype pics have me a bit underwhelmed but it is still early days:

I'm not feelin it… looks to me like an articulated update of the G1 mold more than a MP.

Easy pass.

Coloured pics have showed up on tformers.com. Looks very good. The robot mode looks superb, though I'll only buy this if it has lights and sounds. (preferably the original)
I hope there's a stand for gun mode!
