If you are referring to the left hand thing I believe it was episode 1 when that happened and never happened again and fall of Cybertron did the same he had two hands but grimlock bit the left one off so as for the cartoon he probably lost it in an experiment off camera or something

I know it's a couple years too late, but it's fantastic they made the gun collar part of the transformation rather than a separate piece.

If they ever make a Masterpiece Bruticus (though possibly not likely), he could use that small Shockwave to recreate that one episode of G1

Amazing review, Optibotimus! Keep up the good work. Cannot wait to see your MP-30 Ratchet review. :D

Fantastic review Paul!!! I've been waiting for this review. I never bought either one of 3rd party figures because I wanted to see how this turned out. For me this is the Shock Wave for my,collection simply due to the cartoon accuracy. Thank you so much for showing the clips from the cartoon and for reviewing this figure. Ill be picking one up ASAP!!!

I never realized the Cartoon accurate Con stickers were a thing. I think you are the first person to show them off long enough for me to notice.

I think a lot of people are on the fence with this guy and soon as word catches on, MP-29 will sell out everywhere. I too like to support the official releases but with that said, Apollyon reigns on my masterpiece shelf. I too totally go for the G1 cartoon aesthetic and I think this guy gets that check mark way more-so than Quake Wave. Thanks for bringing us the first quality review on this guy!

You do great reviews. You and peaugh. Keep the vids coming, please. I just started collecting with the Masterpiece series. I'm curious about a couple of things though. 1) Do you normally get two figures (of the same) for display, or one. 2) At this point in the Masterpiece line, who are the top five Transformers that you'd like to see done by Takara?

Love your vids been watching you since tfp

Mine should be coming in the next few days. Excellent review as always! That transformation is just so complex! So happy it doesn't parts form like Quakewave did. Makes me glad I sold my Quakewave when he was announced. I'm hoping that MP-30 or MP-31 is a new Megatron because I'm not a fan of Apollyon.

+Brendan Callinan Watch the video again. The completed backpack on MP Shockwave is definitely parts forming. While I agree that Quakewave is also parts forming, QW does not have a "leftover" piece in alt mode. I appreciate that QW uses all parts in both modes. MP SW's extra piece as something useful is nice, but it's still an extra piece, and something to be kept up with when playing with alt mode as intended, as a space gun. You can be happy with your choice to sell QW, but don't pass it off as inferior to MP SW for parts forming. I too have MP Shockwave on the way, but really appreciate Quakewave. BTW - Apollyon looks great squared off against MP-10 or surrounded by MP Seekers, MP Soundwave, DX9 Chigurh, and FT Quakewave, Spotter and BugCons, while we all wait for HasTak to get around to an in-scale version of Megatron. The 3rd parties have really been producing some great products. IMO Apollyon fills a need, very nicely.

+Brendan Callinan I waffled on Apollyon, but am happy I eventually pulled the trigger. Even with a QC issue on mine (XTB sent a replacement part out ASAP), I have enjoyed displaying him. I feel the same way with Jazz, waiting for the "inevitable" MP release. 3rd party Hova has me interested but something about it just isn't right. Maybe its just that I think Jazz is not Jay Z and that somehow has soured me on the whole project.

Woot! I'm loving the cartoon accurate stickers.

Shockwave was really badass in the Marvel Comic; a relentless, evil Mr. Spock. And who could forget that issue cover for Marvel's The Transformers #5?

Good review man.

To be G1 cartoon accurate, I think the feet should be twice as wide. Now the market is truly competitive where 3rd party and Takara products are priced about the same. It's a great time to be a collector, as long as you can afford it, and have room...wife permitting!

I've just got my takara masterpiece shockwave an I gotta say that it is awesome toy has some die-cast and it looks cartoon accurate!! I'm very happy to get this shockwave

Yes no more April fools videos all the videos in my sub box are all jokes

I got mine today, it doesn't light up when I push the gun trigger, do you possibly know why? battery is too old?

@optibotimus the small himself’s gun, it’s to use playing putting in another toy’s hands... like Megatron when transform into a gun and Starscream carry he in his hand. I guess Megatron comes with a small gun too. It’s a great idea, and all toys (Soundwave, Blaster, Perceptor, Reflector) that was created in human real size when transform, comes in a small size too to put in a toy hands like a cartoon.

I skipped the transformation because i plan on experiencing it myself, but this looks really good, i'm probably going to get this at botcon, love that lavender and who knows hasbro could end up giving us a darker one that looks more like the toy or takara at a later date or even a "shack"wave based on the gun metal grey astro magnum with the red eye

Was hoping for a side by side to Quakewave, still good review. Thanks.

I'm curious if you'll be getting the new MP-29+. Not sure if I really want to spend additional money just to get the same MP but in toy accurate colors. Maybe if there were some additional bells and whistles :-/

Opti plz answer my question Should I buy this figure I love him but his legs are really loose . Plz answer my question.

When Shockwave is standing next to Soundwave In Transformers the Movie, it appears Soundwave is taller.

Will definitely be a part of my collection

So glad I cancelled my preorder. This looks like trash.

I like my FT-03T Quakewave, so I have no intention of selling mine (got him new less than a week ago from an eBay seller selling his in favor of this figure as a matter of fact). Maybe one of these days I'll sit down and marathon G1 properly so I'll know what I should expect of Takara/Tomy when the Masterpiece of each character is released. I grew up with the Unicron trilogy and actually haven't been properly initiated in all things G1. Up to this point I've collected one of each MP mold mainly with the mindset of enjoying high-end Transformer figures and not being too picky about all the various things fans debate about (Magnus' butt-flap and Ironhide's hip-kibble doesn't really bother me as an example). The only ones I've been disappointed by thus far are MP-5 (even I know enough about G1 to know Megs doesn't look like he's anorexic), MP-03 (G1 Starscream most definitely wasn't a samurai-type with the hip-skirts; leave that to Armada Starscream), and MP-25 Tracks (I don't know much about the character, but his MP feels of lesser quality than the Datsun or Lancia molds). I've also been content to go with the cheaper version of some of the pricier MPs: my MP-01 is a 1st run, but he had a damaged piece so I got him for much cheaper on eBay than he would normally go for (I have replaced the broken piece and he's essentially flawless now), my Hasbro MP-03 has loose joints and the previous owner modded him to where the hip kibble can only attach to his legs as he removed the ball joints on the waist, my Hasbro MP-09 is fine but has some slight chipping on his chrome, I got the YOTH MP-10 Prime before his price got marked up on the aftermarket, and my MP-12, 14, 15, 17, 20, and 21 are knock-offs. My Masterpiece collection may not be as polished or pretty as some other peoples', but I'm perfectly happy with it. I'll happily display MP-29, Quakeblast when I get him, and my Quakewave together as well even though their colors/aesthetics are worlds apart.

He looks promising, I'm hoping he joins my collection next week. He's a cheaper option for those of us who can't afford the third party offerings. There are some sound issues with the review, it seems to pop and crackle at points.

+Mark Drennan I don't really get how he looks "100 times better". He doesn't. He looks almost exactly the same, the biggest difference are the legs and the Masterpiece one is cartoon accurate whereas Fans Toys isn't. And Quakewave only costs less because it's been reissued over and over. It was over $200 when it was first released.

@lasafrog

8 жыл бұрын

+optibotimus A hundred times may be an exaggeration. But the deeper color reissue and the light up eye just look tremendously iconic. Regarding cost, I don't care what it cost at some other time, I care about now. At BIg Bad Toy Store, you save $5 to get what seems obviously the superior figure. I hear you on the legs, but it's extremes. Quakewave might be slightly bulky, but this one is way too skinny (at least head on) and seems cheap. If I seem passionate here it's not anything other that my huge disappointment in Takara. They clearly don't have the live for this line that I thought they did.

@lasafrog

8 жыл бұрын

+Mark Drennan Err, that was "they don't have the love for this line".

Both Megatron and Shockwave are roughly 2 heads taller then each of the seekers and other normal-sizes decepticons. Soundwave is 1 head taller then Star Scream, a.k.a Seeker.. But i get my measurements from the G1 comics from the 80's.

I think they gave the mini Shockwave gun so you can put him in Megatron's hand or Star Scream's hand! Just an idea

my dad bought a hot rod tomy thigger and its way more better then the other one. these Transformers are way more better then the other ones

To honest I really like that he has a little wave because shockwave should be a mass shifter and if you want him to be a mass shifter there ya go

too bad I skipped this figure as I purchased the Fanstoys version. not that I'm disappointed but the Takara version is much more cartoon accurate. overall I'm very happy with my Quakewave nonetheless. it's amazing how they all transform in the same manner as the original from 32 years ago. great review as always.

im kinda worried about that ball joint in the neck when time comes. to lock the head in robot mode you have to force it by pulling up

This video just changed my phone background to a picture of shockwave....

I am close to buying this guy and I really like the look of him. My only slight gripe is the lighter color than my G1 version. I wonder if Takara will eventually release a darker version.

You know what say what you want about the figure i love it except for the stickers yeah wish they tampagraphed them on but i wish shockwave came with a control center

Hell yeah they should do Megatron! They already have the engineering to do this so i don't see why not.

Come on Takara! We are way overdue for MP Galvatron. I've been waiting for a show accurate Galvatron for so long...

Thanks for the review. He looks great in bot mode, I do wish he were a tad taller. In my imagination, I always saw Shockwave as one of the taller Decepticons. I feel Takara Tomy failed with the alt mode. Those gaps do not equate to a Masterpiece figure. I also hate that the "salute" pose is more of an illusion. Again, that does not show me a Masterpiece level of detail. Soundwave is able to eject his minions. Those little details separate the Masterpiece line. I don't know how I feel about the new crop of MP figures. Iron Hide and Hot Rod are not immediate buys for me. Not sure if this guy falls in that category or not. My very last MP figure that I preordered and stuck with was Ultra Magnus. The butt flap is a minor nuisance, minor. These figures cost a lot of money and carry the Masterpiece title, I feel they need to deliver on as many levels as possible. Thanks again for the thorough review.

so gonna get one

I would love to see a new MP Megatron, even if it's not as a gun. Maybe the usual tank mode nowadays....

Would you happen to know if this one will be released in the united states like bumblebee and soundwave?

I have about 20 mp toys myself my proles not many but there good enuff.

I do find the recent Masterpieces lack something. Hot Rod, Ironhide are not in League with Soundwave and the Autobot Cars.

I don't think the scale is all that off. Was watching the 86 movie and he seemed a tad shorter then Soundwave in the beginning. Hard to really gage due to Shockwave never really sharing a lot of screen time with the other characters. I'm all in for this, always official over 3rd party. Quakewave is nice but mine will be moving on.

shockwave has karate chop hands :o

Shockwave is my favorite decepticon

23:05 actually the backpack was meant to be lower not higher

SHOCKWAVE FTW

Maybe the Shockwave gun accessory is for other characters holding him, cause you know how when Megatron and Shockwave transform they shrink.
