Toy Review: Beast Hunters VOY Shockwave

[Omega Metro]

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

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.

Booo. What a crap toy.

I agree here. I picked up the takaratomy Go version, mainly because of the colours.

The only saving grace for this guy is the robot mode. In that it looks good. One shonky ratchet in his hip allows him a floppy leg. Solid feet but no ankles, however this doesn't really detract from his balance all that much. Effective light piping. Clever use of the tank tread as the cannon cable. He has a Sumo challenge mode though

Horrible horrible vehicle mode. I find it shocking that they manage to include 20 steps for transformation on the instructions and its still ridiculously hard to see what is going on in some of the pictures. then once he's in vehicle mode it just looks horrid. Unbalanced with one shoulder under and another over. Hand at the front. head turned backwards. Oh My God. I HATE the vehicle mode. It is awful. really really awful.

I have macdonalds toys that have better vehicles than this rubbish. He'll be staying in robot mode for the rest of his life. It hurts my eyes to look at him.

Anybody buy Shockwave on the strength of his alt-mode?

There is no strength in the vehicle mode It is THAT bad. They might have well made him not Transform. That's how I feel about it. It is just super super lazy.
