Toy Review - Siege Shockwave

[shockNwave]

What an awesome TF. The bulked up robot mode reminds of a Hindu deity because there are few TFs that have four arms. By the way, his foot cannons look better attached to his outer arms.

The alt. mode is really where the action's at. When in full battle mode this battle cruiser looks very good alongside the FOC Shockwave. Furthermore it wouldn't be out of place in the Star Blazers cartoons (remember the wave motion gun?).

Picked this up the other day and I love it. Probably the best 'scifi capital ship' Transformer since Galaxy Force Vector Prime.

He is quite the handsome figure colourwise and on point sculpted detail. The light piping as others have mentioned is spectacular.

I can't believe I'm saying this but with all the gorgeous transparent parts on him I kind of wish he had some light up features or dare I say even: a sound box

Loving the base figure.

I have no real attachment to the extra bits, however I appreciate the idea to keep him in scale but still give value for money.

Any instructions anywhere on how to make his surfboard?

Being Voyager sized with extra parts, it scales well with Megatron, Starscream and Soundwave. The light piping is a welcome feature. The box is nicely designed. As great as the figure looks, I only bought it at a discounted price and not the $89.99 RRP.

In surfboard mode, the engine pod connectors on my copy seem very loose. Is this a common issue?

Yes, I have the same. It's okay in spaceship mode because of the extra tabs to keep it aligned, but surfboard mode is very loose. I should try and get some varnish onto it some day to see if it can be tighter.

I exchanged Shockwave today and managed to get the last one in the store. Unfortunately, the connector on the left engine pod is still loose. And the elbows are loose too. Oh well, it's only a toy that retails for $89.99.

Thanks to Myer's clearance of this guy at $50, I finally grabbed Shockwave. The sled thingamajig will go into storage. I care nothing for it or the add on kit options.

That said, for $50, the base figure is worth it and I paid voyager price for a nicely detailed Shockwave that turns into a laser gun. Sure it moonlights as a submarine or whatever, but that's just a bonus. Very happy with Shockwave as a voyager!
