    Played with mine over the weekend. A very nice little figure. Little being the key word. Much better than the other two guys imo. Very cool Light piping for his eyes eye.

    And I made a little laser pistol mode. Most of my thoughts and quite a few pics on my blog post..

    I reckon if you don't bother with any of the other toys, at the very least get Shockers, he's a cool FOC guy and a cool Deluxe as well!

    The legs look too weak for my liking. But seeing how I don't have any Shockwave figure, I might pick this up.

    Popped open mine tonight and very impressed, his joints were all super tight and though his legs are hollow it seems to suit him.
    I love that his gun is interchangeable for single barrel or triple barrel mode, triple being my preferred option.
    I also found that you can store the front section of his gun in the lower section of his back under his backpack which I personally think looks really neat.
    Lots of personality and colours are great, get him when you can

    I'm tempted to pull the wings off his back for a more streamlined robot mode (as my son found out , they're attached just via a ball and socket. It takes some force, but they can be removed and replaced).

    I got my FoC Shockwave shipped in with Wave 1 from the states about a month ago because I simply couldn't wait! I do like the figure, was not sure about his alt mode but then I suppose it is a good take on the 'flying gun' mode. Was much happier with him than FoC Optimus who I don't think looks nearly as impressive as WFC Optimus, and there is something about Jazz's legs and face that make me rate him 2nd to Shockwave as well.

    Liked the FoC Shockwave that much I have gone online and bought an Alternators: Shockblast, so I can have my own little Shockwave display. Anyone know every iteration of him? Think I'm missing a few

    I have:
    G1: Shockwave
    Energon: Shockblast
    Animated: Shockwave (Purple)
    DOTM: Shockwave (Voyager)
    Robot Heroes: Shockwave
    Kre-O: Shockwave
    Alternators: Shockblast (in mail)
    (DOTM Shockwave Lollipop head)

    I don't have:
    Action Master: Shockwave
    Animated Shockwave (Longarm colours)
    DOTM: Shockwave with fusion tank

    I'm sure there are prob some others I'm not even aware exist lol Out of the one's I am aware I am missing I think I only really want the Action Master
