@@djhumphries3738 I'm fine with third party I just don't really have any way of getting those. I've seen some of those figures though and they look absolutely fantastic.
The Airraid version had the larger sword fold backwards in half and peg in in the same spot as the gun in vehicle mode, then had the smaller sword split its blade and fold back into a V that pegged on top of the gun.
You are correct! The first two waves of Generations FOC toys and first 3 waves of Prime RID were the absolute hardest hit by the budget cuts at the time.
The Air Raid version of the mold still has most of the arm cannon. It doesn't have the removable cannon barrel and the inner structure is double barreled instead of triple. The new folding sword can be handheld but attaches to the gun for vehicle mode - but the way it folds up prevents the vehicle mode from sitting flush on a flat surface. You can however peg the gun onto Air Raid's arm like Shockwave and attach the sword to the gun like a giant arm mounted scythe!
The only redeeming factor the toy had was that it was a G1 adjacent Shockwave when we hadn't had one up to that point. Otherwise, it didn't have anything going for it - especially having come off of the 2010 Generations era, and how good things were. Maybe a modern re-do would actually achieve the goal of being a UPGRADE to the original.
I recently sold this figure on. Neat little figure that suffers from being way way too skinny for a Deluxe, definitely one of the best modern Shockwave altmodes to me.
I personally really love this figure, despite its issues. Yeah, he should've been a Voyager, but he scales decently well with my 30th FoC Grimlock, so I'm fine with that. I also like the Air Raid version of the mold, especially the colors. Black, red, and gold always go hard.
oh heah, I have the arms micron version, really hoping we get a voyager shockwave version. mine has its stuckers that are starting to fall off. (althought, I kinda hope that the option to remove the wings and use them as axes will remain)
Another thing you can do with this shockwave is take the gun barrel off and on his butt is a port for storage. Youre left with a triple barrelled gun, its probably hasbros attempt to replicate the gun switching in the game. Cool to see early concepts that are now just mainstream toy design.
i know this is sorta off topic, but i do hope if they plan to make all the characters from the WFC AND FOC we eventually get a warpath.. i loved his design and character and would mean the world if we got one
i still remember having this guy and think " this guy should be bigger" and despite planet x version exist , i was waiting for hasbro version, like come on IDW even took this design for their shockwave
I found one of these still in box, and passed it up. I'm weird about sealed figures. Like, someone wants this as is, and I'm gonna tear it apart. Not long after that, I splurged on the Planet X version. An Hooooo boy, he WORKS. Makes me so happy. Always loved this design.
It's Hasbruh. Of course they're gonna screw it up. And because of how badly they're gonna screw it up, it ain't really gonna make the original one obsolete at all. (Ex.: the only thing Optimus & Starscream have over their originals is size. Cool thing: Takara's version of FoC Shockwave came out during their Transformers Prime Arms Micron line, and as such, his funky triple-barreled cannon was an entire Arms Micron. Crappy thing: he really is a skimpity, scrawnily bitch. (And the FoC Voyager class Soundwave mold ain't great, due to having the stupid Tape Minion gimmick that almost never works correctly.)
Bro i got this shockwave and the foc prime for my birthday years ago and i love the design. If they fumble this i just can't believe it, this and a proper foc bruticus are my dream pics for this subline
I still have my copy of this guy. It’s probably because for the longest time I just threw my toys in a plastic tote when I was done with them, but his wings and feet fall off constantly on me
Y'all talking a whole lot of crap about my first "modern" Shockwave... Personally I like him either: spindly as hell, like here, or BUILT and beefy like the Prime cartoon version. The in-between of the standard design, honestly, not the biggest fan. Dude SHOULD look a little bizarre.
@5:00 the part with the gun is actually accurate to the The Autobot flyers enemy it's just the difference is this is a little bit more spread out I think what they were trying to do back then was just still trying to incorporate some of the guns into a lot of the figures which is toy line at the time yes was it had a very bunch of Hit or Miss but it's still good for what was but amazing video
While I did get the original dour WFC deluxe figures I completely skipped the FOC line as it did not look up to par with with what Hasbro was releasing at the time. Designs were all good but the toys felt a serious down grade. Shockwave here while being another Cybertronian space vehicle actually looks pretty cool kinda similar to how we saw him in Siege. I like how well his canon is not only weapons storage but incorporates seamlessly into the vehicle mode. Voyager would definitely be the way to go on am updated GE figure though right now I'm just super happy we're getting a SS conceptual Soundwave that looks great this year as I never got the Siege one.
I've got the air raid and honestly it's not as stable, it holds together alright but it's not satisfying and for some reason the square peg that attached to the butt isn't as good so it's quite wobbly, it also doesn't do the arm mounted thing properly cause a small part of the hand kinda pushes against the new remoulded Bayonet/blade thing and it kinda starts pushing it out so that makes that kinda wobbly
I still prefer the original releases to these gamer editions. I picked up GE Barricade and while it kind of fits in with the small collection of FOC that I have, anything they have re done (Megatron Starscream, Optimus ect) I have taken a miss on.
You know, im pretty sure Activision said they literally just misplaced and lost the game files. So every fiber of my being is hoping that the Twitter post I saw forever about Microsoft finding them and putting them on gamepass after the acquisition is true.
I dunno if its either misrememberence, your lighting, or even the camera but I remember Shockwave being a “bluer”(for lack of a better term) shade of purple in the actual game
Its hilarius that in the ds version of war for cybertron he doesn't fly because he is suppose to be a heavy vehicle and the fact that he smack you with the canon because he doesn't have a right arm it's even more funny...
I sed town this toy but I lost his gun and his toes got lost and that soundwave, wasn't there a voyager version of it? Because I know I own that toy but bigger and better articulation and I believe it came from the generations line.
Wait how were you able to stream fall/war to your friends? Been trying to for a while but i only have the xbox 360 release. And my xbox wont connect to my pc.
This isnt even a bad figure at all, youre taking points off for bonus stuff like the basically impossible ankle tilt because of the thin legs, which is accurate to the damn game anyway. And its not like it cant stand without the ankle tilt in poses where the legs are split, because the heels are extended and cover a lot of surface area. You are also way too easily annoyed by a joint in the arms that doesnt even get in the way.
You know it's made for kids right I once had that toy I want that toy again that's all I'm saying and you just got a really Bad copy and I got a good one so there.
i honestly hate the designs of the game versions of the transformers but i absolutely love the design of shockwave. WE NEED A NEW GAMER SERIES SHOCKWAVE!!
