I can’t really speak from firsthand experience but I’ve been researching mp shockwave and quakewave a lot since he’s been experiencing some sales.
Shockwave seems to be a good figure,but for me there are a few small issues about it
1)Color. Imo it’s too light of a purple. That seems to be purely a Takara thing that they’ve done before with Henkei cyclonus, reissue g1 Galvatron et all.
He seems to be half an inch shorter than I would like. He seems to be around 8.5. or mp scream height. 9 would be optimal.
This is controversial because of the cartoon scale chart but I’m biased towards the marvel comic and they often drew megatron and him as similar heights.
While it’s not a strict requirement,it seems there is no die cast and the figure seems light.
Fans toys quake is apparently hefty.
There are some nice things/improvements.
the gun hand light up is purple and you can choose opaque vs translucent.
there is a stand piece that can be incorporated onto the backpack.
The gunbarrel is attached to the body by that hinged piece so you can’t lose it.
I think another thing is that it’s roughly an Ironhide size but the price is 160 whereas Ironhide/ratchet were 90-100. The fit and finish imo seem better on quakewave and quakeblast.
Well I ended up putting the preorder for MP Cheetor and purchased Warbotron so that drained my wallet. I’m on the fence about getting that Computron, I was also looking at the movie dinobots man is Scorn a popular figure (I tried to find him on my usual site and he’s been sold out for a while) I’ll probably pick him up next paycheck.
Going back to Computron I wanted to ask if any of you guys pick him up? and if is he worth it.
At the rate TakTomy is going with the MP releases, you won’t regret the purchase.
Scorn is a really solid figure from the AoE Line. Most people that have him, just hold on to it. He’s got the Robo Dino Knight thing down. Are you looking for the US or JP release?
For Computron, are you looking at the Combiner Wars or Unite Warriors version. It’s a toss up. Both still use the Silverbolt mold for Scattershot, but there’s much more than just paint. Here are the variances.
Feet Attachment
Different Head Sculpts for individual bots
Lightspeed, Strafe, and Nosecone don’t share the same mold between versions
Hasbro comes with Devcon (Legends Cosmos repaint/retool)
If you want show accurate, Go UW. If you want new hands and feet, an extra figure, and toy accuracy, go for the US.
RUMOR: TR Fortress Maximus being found at ROSS stores for $55
What the Frak?
This is being discussed on the TFW2005 boards but there has been no definite proof.
some claimed they were in New Mexico and South FL with 1-2 toys /store.
For those interested, I would keep an eye out just in case.
