Transformers: War for Cybertron SIEGE - Leader Class SHOCKWAVE 

*Shockwave*: “It is not my preference to see to matters personally...” *A large array of mechanical arms attach Shockwave’s armor to him* *Shockwave*: ...But I am not afraid to fight when the time comes. *a loud and ominous hum fills the room as Shockwave powers up his many cannons* *Shockwave*: “In fact, I find the obliteration of my enemies to be quiet therapeutic.” *Dozens of screaming voices* *Shockwave*: “Ah, so nice.”

Budget MP Shockwave.

*Destroy the launch pad! Let none escape!*

I like to think of the sled as a hover pod Shockwave would use to get around his lab. I just really like the idea of a massive accessory being used for completely mundane purposes.

In my in opinion this is the best Shockwave toy.

This is why I really like ur channel plus reviews, what I mean by that is that u call out the things that don't really matter, u don't care about the size and doesn't think that every figure is garbage and not keep calling out the things that u don't really like optibotimus just keep shouting out the size and the extra parts that comes with shockwave and keeps cursing. Keep up the great work baltmatrix!

Finally a review that put the attention on the quality of the figure instead of saying "it's too small!". By that logic a 3d printed Shockwave is the best figure ever as long as it's large.

6:02 that's clearly a prototype TIE Fighter

Shockwave's alt mode here is reminiscent of Star Wars and the Decepticons' ship back in G1

Yes... Just an innocent submarine! > : ) Nothing to worry about! Nope! Not a Giant space gun! lol

Ok my thoughts on each mode space battle ship mode:cool Obviously not a gun mode:cool Normal robot mode with diagnostics drone:cool Powered up mode...interesting

I have leader class Shockwave and I I think this is the most outstanding Shockwave toy that we ever had in years I love the articulation the color the aesthetic overall is one of my number one favorite Transformers of all time and I love your reviews keep up the good work hope to hear from you on the new latest ones

It would have been nice to have a hand held version of his gun mode as an assecory.

I love how if you take the extra bits off he's a gun but is self-sufficient with them on. Very clever.

He's a beautiful representation of his G1 self in bot mode and that star cruiser is glorious. Too bad he has so many parts that will probably end up in storage, I'm not a fan of "Goro" mode at all, but I do see the playability . Thanks for another great review Baltmatrix. Hooah!!!

This isn't just a good Shockwave figure. It's a good toy. Great figure, decent gimmick, and a unique take on toy Shockwave.

We don't want to make robots that turns into guns anymore, so instead we'll make him turn into a spaceship bristling with guns...

I do also like WFC: Siege Shockwave, the idea of Shockwave having little drone/sled that can become his extra armor piece is good idea which hints that Shockwave invented it for him. And I'm sure that hose is made of material that don't break down over time like on original G1 Shockwave toy.

So a battleship that turns into a laser pistol that turns into a giant robot... g1 for you. Also, even with 4 arms shockwave only has one hand.

AMAZING FIGURE !!! the Mold is just crazy cool ,the size is the only thing to point out Negative when you consider his price ,,,, one of the best Shockwaves ever released

What a beautiful Shockwave! With his sled, he can go surf with Optimal Prime.

The little back pack could be a giant laser cannon

This might just be my favourite shockwave ever. He looks stunning.

I loved this figure when I first saw the painted model at toyfair, and I love it even more seeing the reviews. It's exactly what I want out of a Shockwave, with some extra super robot armor-up play pattern.

As a Shockwave fan... THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST SHOCKWAVE´S EVER REALESED!!!

Shockwave is badass. Totally dig this figure and love the alt modes. Great vid.

I wasn't totally on board at first because I despise parts-forming, but the light piping won me over almost instantly. I have missed light piping so much!

My only complaint is that they moved the bar on how big a "Leader Class" figure is. WFC Shockwave stands about 6.5 inches at the top of his backpack without his platforms on. So he is not quite as tall as a "Voyager Class". But still taller than the Generations Sunstreaker/Sideswipe "Deluxe Class" figure. So, Would it sound better if we say "WFC Shockwave is a Extra-Deluxe Class figure." Because he is a Deluxe sized figure, that comes with all this Extra Stuff! DGMW! I love the figure. I just feel I got ripped-off paying Leader Class price. but this is really not a Leader Class figure.

I hate the rule of "oH qiDDs kent haff toi gum transformers!" WHEN NERF KEEPS SELLING NOTHING BUT SLIGHTLY MORE REALISTIC TOY GUNS!!!!!!!!!!

I personally think this figure works better as a voyager class and it could work if the hover sled was just one piece.

8:44 his stand is forming

Whoever designed this toy deserves a raise and a half.

The sled kinda reminds me of the that small floating robot thing from Beast Machines Megatron sometimes used.

WOW!! I need this in my world. Once again a great review of a fantastic figure.

I was put off by the small size at first, but once I got this figure in hand I loved him.

This Shockwave figure is really awesome and especially I like the gun mode.

I like to think of the dangling bits in the back piece as mechanical tailcoats.

I fully agree with your review, baltmatrix. This one is on my "I want list" since Decepticon reveal at NYCC 2018. What worries me is the price. ~$55 (+shipping to EU, $20-30, I suppose) isn't cheap, especially that leaders in this line are really small (I've seen comparison of CW and Siege Ultra Magnuses, Siege one is like 2/3 of height of CW one), so it's literally scrawny voyager bundled with incomplete deluxe weaponizer. Nevertheless, I'll do my best to get this one. I'll most likely pass on UM, he's ok in both robot modes (though small one has a bit odd body proportions, but I understand it's the price for correct shape on big one :)), but truck mode is a bit disappointing. With all these nifty tricks on other figures it's shame nobody thought about placing front wheels on double hinge (or hinge with swivel, like PotP Dreadwind's wings) or making his fist fold into forearms. And the trailer, the connection is stiff (step backwards comparing to CW one), it doesn't serve it's purpose (CW one has even loading ramp) and that robot head... Wouldn't it fit somewhere else? Like in the robot chest (thin of Warbotron's combined mode head-helmet)? And, unrelated question (actually, two :)) to baltmatrix. Any plans regarding reviews of these figures you got from SirToys a while ago? You reviewed 5 of them and, as far as I remember, you got 8 (or 10?), so, are there any plans of reviewing the rest (or they just ended up on some sort of "Backlog Pile of Shame"? :))? And the same question regarding Black Mamba "Power Rangers Dinobots", any plans? Did you get the rest or just thought something like "Two is more then enough, let's move on into something else"? Oh yeah, I forgot, about this rubber "hose". Unless Hasbro didn't go cheapest path here, I think it may last for years. I happen to own SC Firebat, he is more than 13 years old now, so far his rubber parts do not show any signs of aging ::).

4:48 your voice sounds like you're being possessed by a demon 😂😂😂

It reminds me of the recon drone that the Strogg infiltrator unit has in Quake champions. Strogg and Peeker. Also, clearly simalir to the beast machines diagnostic drone.

Yep, I want this figure now.

I think the third mode is used for doing tests and experiments. But also maybe fighting as well.

Hey balt just wanted to say that thank you for being one of the coolest transformers toy reviewer your awesome,funny,neat and a nice guy not saying that all transformers toy reviews aren't bad but your my 2nd favorite.Keep up the great work and god bless you and your family

EPIC THEME SONG* PARTS ASSEMBLING* VOLTRON SOUND EFFECTS* KAISER SHOCKWAVE-OH! GATTAI!

This new Shockwave figure is SPECTACULAR!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anyone could hide as a purple submarine underwater! Ask Shockwave about this.

I’ll get him because it’s nice to finally have a decent Shockwave. However, I can’t justify paying $50+ for him, especially after getting all the other Siege size classes cheaper than retail! I’ve got both he & Ultra Magnus on preorder from Entertainment Earth with a 15% discount. $88.39 with free shipping.

A nice shockwave figure with a pile of crap added to doubles his price.

I like to think his sled is like the evil version of Goku's Flying Nimbus. "You have to be emotionless and no-hearted to ride it"

Great presentation of shockwave! Don't know why Hasbro doesn't send you early release of figures to you... Thank you for the effort and time you spend on making the videos and making fun collecting Trans formers.I will certainly send email to Hasbro and recommend my thoughts to them.Hopefully everyone can do the same . Albert .CALifornia

Not a big fan of putting Transformers together like they're Lego sets, but I guess that's what we have to live with for this level of detail.

The revered deception scientist with half a dozen guns and ONE hand.

He's inspired from a Battleship from Macross or a Cybertronian destroyer Revenge or Battleship Nemesis?

This line is the return of Light Piping!

in all honesty if we don’t get a ratchet figure im going to cry we haven’t gotten an actual good one in so long man

was watching a different Baltmatrix review and just had to see this

Interesting. You seem to be one of the few people to prefer him over Magnus. I think the "base" figure is great but don't really care for the "General Grievous" mode . Ideally I think a price of $40 would have been ideal or it could have been sold as a Voyager class without the armor pieces. Still compared to the FOC and CW versions,it's a slam dunk.

2:35 that "Space submarine" mode is probably suppose to be a gun form or something.

I know this is from WFC but I feel like his TFP alt mode is the best one

And now to wait for 3rd party Onyx Prime armor. That said, I do dig the big-ass ship form and the armored robot form. The front of the ship form is kinda like the artificial planet Nemesis in the IDW comics.

Hasbro is doing such a great job with Siege, if they make another wave I would want either the DJD or characters from MasterForce

I can’t wait to find this guy in my area the combined mode really remains me of the Energon hyper modes

General Grevious Shockwave!

this Shockwave figure is highly logical to buy it!

Thanks for answering my question in regards to the cable :D ~SC013

Great looking figure. I guess BH Shockwave's time over on my shelf

The submarine mode is what I think is shockwaves gun mode

Is this the second time they've called the "gun mode" a submarine? Hasbro get your crap together!

The cable is entirely removable. Once. Yes I cut mine off, and I regret nothing! Bwahahahaha!

Shockwave’s super mode reminds me of General Grievous.

Oh man this guy is amazing. I hope some ship to my local places soon

Partsformers! LEGOs in disguise!

The combined altmode reminds me of the ol' Starcraft Terran Battlecruiser.

I like the hose, it builds character

Seeing how this figure looks: 😍 After seeing its size: 😧

Someone needs to put the tiny Shockwave from Combiner Wars and put him the this Shockwave’s regular hand.

Definetly getting in my collection.

Those extra arms reminds me of the Gundam Gusion Rebake Full City

his alt-mode reminds me of something out of Space Battleship Yamato (or Star Blazers for the Americans).

When you review ultra magnus can you see if the armor can fit on that optimus prime

When I first was this figure I didn't like the jet mode but since I saw the g1 laser gun 2:34 I'm getting it now. All us G1 fans know Shockwave is a laser gun this spaceship mode and submarine thing is not cutting it

Shockwave is a must have toy, but since he is basically a Voyager class sized toy, I can not justify paying more than his retail price tag of $50 U.S. dollars for him. :S Hopefully he goes down to retail price at Amazon. :D

Now I want it for my birthday if it is available on amazon

Shockwave: My over kill mode is logical

I love the siege line so far it is just awsome . The man characters i want is ultra magnus and also optimus

Shockwave’s bad news. Starring: Frank Welker, Chris Latta, John Stephenson, and Corey Burton.

Hmm. . I mean all the armor bits are cool and the full alt-mode is cool. . . . I just think it should've been put out as a regular Voyager. . I see what they were going for but I honestly feel the use of all the armaments to be . . . Illogical

Shockwave AND a Tekkaman Blade II reference? That gets a like. :)

Shockwave, brute mode!

Sweet. Gonna get my hand son this!

I like the gun part of this Shockwave better than that Space Ship/Submarine version...

Deep cut with the Tekkaman reference

I have noticed that most of the new siege toys are parts formers especially Ultra Magnus which I dont really mind

I'm waiting for that Soundwave!

That supermode really reminds me of the graze ein of Iron blooded orphans

This guy is awesome. If i weren't saving up for nothing in particular, I'd get him. hmm, maybe better find a long-lost relative who loves me to pieces and has lots of money...

Can't wait for the KO upscaled version because it's too small for me.

Tank Next time Shockwave should be a tank Prime knew what it was doing

Holy shit this...this is good

I once owned the first iteration of Shockwave where he turns into his space gun mode. Unfortunately it was stolen or I would send pics
