I'm crying inside.

Um...

Animated Shockwave just may be one of those figures I won't buy.

He's just so... so...

Totally ugly.

:-(

I'm crying inside.

He's worse than a frigg'n movie figure.

*sob*

When I see it... I think of a cow.

And I don't want Shockwave to remind me of a cow.

So totally moo.

i am shocked! you won't get a shockwave!? ;)

actually i don't think moo, more like snow and jingle bells. i will buy him tho. i will buy all the tfa toys... (except repaints)

While slightly disappointed in his 4 transformation modes ... I'll still get him. I'm liking the TF Animated toyline a lot.

There's just something about him that I don't like... regardless of mode or mixed-modes or what have you.

The "hand that is not a hand" isn't my thing.

And his "horns" just remind me of a bovine.

They are really going for the animated accuracy look. Admittedly he's not what I would consider Shockwave either although I am going to pick him up. The robot mode looks vaguely Armada Megatronish, with the treads as shoulders and the "ears". The one part I really don't like is the "chin".

Let me ask you this though - if he were Shockwave purple would you pick him up?

FPT: It isn't so much the color... it is the head, the "hand", and the ears.

I like Armada Megatron, so I have no problem with that general appearance.

I'll have to see when the final toy is released to really decide.

I mean pics off of the back of a box and a poorly shot, likely mistransformed figure photo can be wrong.

But the pieces/parts just don't equal what I need in a Shockwave.

Munny Shockwave is more Shockwave for me!

I agree. While I like the concept, he's totally ugly in both modes. Fortunately, while I like Shockwave, I don't have any sort of "obligation".

Instead I get to debate on Ultra Magnus, who is my favorite character of G1 but I don't know that I want the 40 dollar one that has no red on it at all.

@Josh Miller: Dude i know, where's all the red.

More pics have surfaced. He doesn't look THAT bad ... but I do wish he were purple instead of grey.

@Decepticon Rhinox - That Shockwave still looks like a robot cow.

Hey, I suppose that would go with "Cowtown".

NOW IT IS DESTINY!
