Transformers: EarthSpark Deluxe Class Shockwave

Shockwave

Previous Mold Use: Cyberverse Deluxe Class Shockwave

For fucks sake, Hasbro, just make Shockwave a fucking tank and stop doing this god-awful crap. You’re ruining a great character. Give him the dignity of an alternate mode that is an actual vehicle. Unlike his garbage vehicle mode, in robot mode Shockwave looks pretty great. He could have used a few more paint apps but is otherwise great. There is one odd thing about him. He does actually have two hands. His left hand is an accessory he is holding. However, there is no place on his back to put it. It’s connected by the hose, so you can’t really remove it. You could, it’s not glued on, but that’s kind of stupid. Also, the hose’s plastic needed to be more flexible. It’s pretty hard to get the hose positioned in any way other than it wants to be.

Overall: Shockwave looks great in robot mode but has no meaningful vehicle mode that doesn’t make me want to throw up. Still probably going to be the best version of him, so I will say recommended if you can stomach his alt more.

Thanks for reading!

I’m 36 years old, and I work in network tech support for a public school system. I am a huge fan of Star Trek, Transformers, Harry Potter, and Marvel Comics as well as numerous other fandoms. I’m a big sports fan, especially the Boston Red Sox and the New England Patriots. I collect toys (mostly Transformers but other stuff too), comic books, and Red Sox baseball cards. I watch an obscene amount of television and love going to the movies. I am hopelessly addicted to Wizard Rock and I write Harry Potter Fanfiction, though these days I am working on a couple of different original YA novels.
