All they need to do is get the shoulders and arms right. They don't look too half bad

That's true - but I think the toy is a good facsimile all things considered.

He looks about as well disgiused as Prince Adam to me.

Secret Identity toys always look so implausible like Punch and Punch facing Backwards, this is where Pretenders should have been used. Autobots with Decepticon shell's and a Decepticon with Autobot shell, that might actualy work.

Somehow shockwave's face looks funny.. The purple dot on the black face he had as a G1 figure didn't look so weird as a red dot on a black face with grey head.. Reminds me of an indian bindi pple stick in the centre of the head..

I think Doubledealer works the best in terms of being a double-agent w/ a secret identity. His Autobot and Decepticon robot modes look substantially different enough. Punch/Counterpunch works pretty good so long as nobody's ever standing behind him! ;D



Both still infinitely better than Prince Adam/He-Man who still looks the same when you're standing right in front of him! As for Clark Kent/Superman... it's not as if griffin suddenly looks unrecognisable to me when he's not wearing glasses! Heck, you were without your glasses in your Captain Global cosplay and I still recognised you! (in fact, aren't you without your glasses in all your cosplays?). ;p

Yeah but Prince Adam has no tan, lighter hair and wears pink, this new If this new Shockwave were a cosplayer the only differences would be a slightly different mask, gloves and shoes. Structure wise he's just as simply disguised as Prince Adam. I dont see how any robot with presumably superior optical abbilities could not know they were one in the same. To me all 3 are just as bad as each other. You right about Double Dealer though, his disguise works as he changes form completely.

[GoktimusPrime]

I suppose the disguise worked better in the show because he only revealed himself in a close-up facial screen shot. The disguise works so long as you don't look below his neck.

Yeah but Prince Adam has no tan, lighter hair and wears pink,

Having a different skin tone/colour has certainly worked in making Michael Jackson look like an entirely different person (although he's also completely altered his facial structure too). Seriously, if I'd never heard of or seen Michael Jackson before and someone showed me these images below, I would not know that they're the same person!

& we have a youtube review from IMO, one of the best reviewers there is...

[King Atlas]

I agree, his my favourite reviewer.
I cant stand some the others who are just plain goofy or have
a negative attitude about basically every tf they review (unmentionables).

Wondering though if I should get this guy or wait to see if he has a g1 redeco, either one seems good though.

[GoktimusPrime]

I'm at work atm so I can't view YouTube...
My main gripe with most reviewers is that they don't actually review. (-_-)
I don't care if it's a positive or negative review... but most reviews just aren't.

There's a new reviewer on YouTube who's just started doing video reviews and has asked me to watch them and give him feedback. His first review was nothing more than an extended description of the toy and its transformation - like a video instruction booklet. He failed to actually appraise the toy in a critical and analytical fashion! *sigh*
