Toy Review: Beast Hunters VOY Shockwave

[griffin]

It doesn't even have the "power cable" from the gun to his back like in the cartoon.

Just a correction to this. Looking at the TakaraTomy version, I see that one of the tank treads folds out to plug into the gun-arm... which isn't shown in the Hasbro official image above.

That's really disappointing. I was actually looking forward to this toy From the pictures I have seen, it makes more sense to pick up the Commander Class version as such shortcomings in transformation can be forgiven at that scale, not Voyager.

the arms do bother me, i'm sure with a bit more effort they could have thought of a way around the one arm underneath. But aside from the dodgy transformation I think the robot mode is fantastic. The design reminds me of something from Mospeada,as if Shockwave was somehow infiltrating the Invid.

Overall he is pretty good but he does have some lousy engineering, especially here:

I'm going to say I disagree with what the others have been saying about this figure. I love it.

I do think the alt mode is a little boring, but it does its job well, and I think the robot mode is very solid.

I have lousy engineering in that area also so know how he feels!
But this is a great looking Shockwave IMO. Like other 'toys' in my collection, it would never get transformed more than twice so yeah.

To me this is one of those figures I was really looking forward to but when I get him he's just not that good and gets old pretty quickly.

The ratchet in the hips is disappointing as a lot of reviews have pointed out and his alt mode is pretty meh, but with that all being said he is still a great looking Shockwave. Do not pay over retail for him as it is not worth it, but pick him up if you find him at a fair price point, after all its Shockwave and it is only logical to have him in your collection.
