    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

    There's also the ridiculously overpriced Botcon 2012 Shockwave/Longarm ($500 upwards). Just like the Alternators one, it's remoulded from the Jazz/Meister mould with a different head and with left hand replaced with arm cannon.

    And if you're just going for bots bears the name 'Shockwave', there's a minicon from the Unicron trilogy

    Sweet - cheers for that. Might bookmark that page - had not seen it before.

    Already remembered that they are releasing a Bot Shots Shockwave - two different ones I think (I think they are doing a clear plastic one as well)

    OHH! I forgot! Speaking of 3rd party products - I have a Diamond Select Bust of Shockwave as well - how the hell could I forget that!

    Voted only if: you are a fan of the video game.

    Figure is small and thin, but the transformation is nice, without ever being difficult or fiddly. It is a nice looking robot mode, and a decent and menacing alt mode.

    May be a little thin compare to some. Height is not too bad. (as big as a seeker- heightwise) It's a fantastic mold which highlights the game character as well as keeping it relative to the G1 character. It's good for posing and that gun is good and game-accurate and though it falls of at times, it works. Transformation is good and not too complicated, yet not too simplistic like Optimus'. Highly recommend it. 4.5/5. You can also make a gun mode by transforming it normally into altmode, then moving the chest piece into a position that's holdable, like a handle. Looks great like that. Pew! Pew! Pew!!

    You might want to get yours checked - my Shockwave's gun has no issues, it actually fits in quite snugly. All ball joints as extremely tight as well.

    My Shockwave's gun's prone to falling out heaps easy.
