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.
how about this?
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!
