MP Laserwave/Shockwave revealed

[griffin]

Shockwave looks very simple (to transform), unlike other Masterpiece toys that seem to find ways to add extra complexity to them... so maybe that simplicity was intentional to make it more affordable without relying on redecos paying for the mould.

The chest for Rodimus looks wrong though, but there is often some tweeking between grey-scale stage and the released toy.

That's four new moulds for 2016 now (Ironhide, Optimus Primal, Shockwave, Hotrod), which is already more than the average (only 2 in 2015, only 3 in 2014, and only 3 in 2013 when counting the cassette 2-pack as one)... I'm starting to think that that will be all, and the rest for 2016 will have to be redecos.

Since these are only in grey-scale stage and Optimus Primal probably isn't even that far yet, these two would probably end up being mid-2016, and Primal at 3/4 of the year (based on the timeframe of grey-scale to release of past toys).

Who will they repaint Shockwave and Rodimus as..

Not really digging the thighs and feet yet though.

Looks like they're both skipping leg day. Still looking good though.

And the 3P companies cried in anguish. Really looking forward to Shockwave, he'll look mint next to Apollyon and MP-10B

Great and unexpected news.

I remember all the naysayers saying this would never happen cause of licensing problems etc... let's see them say "nay" now! mwahahaha Now bring on Jetfire/Skyfire!

It was only a matter of time

Now, all I need is a MP Astrotrain and I can retire from collecting

[drifand]

Since when there was going to be licensing issue with shockwave?
The down side is no light up cannon.

Finally a decepticon!

Well hot rod is no longer a shadow

Wicked. As an owner of first-run Quakewave, this is excellent news. Quakwave was never going to last forever but I'm still keeping him becasue its a super solid figure.

It's a bit early to say that the transformation is simple. We have no idea how it does it or even what the alt mode looks like. It will be interesting to see how they do the cannon though and if it parts-forms like Quakewave. I hope that it's somehow all-in-one.

Hooray!

And my desire to get a Quakewave has suddenly vanished.
I hope there are no import issues, what with his alt mode being a gun and our government being made up by morons

[janda the red]
