Bingo Toys BT-01 Silencer SHOCKWAVE Transformers Bumblebee Review

[@S_K_15017]

I honestly like the alt mode. It reminds me of how Shockwave in the early IDW comic runs would momentarily transform into a massive canon to fire a huge blast at someone. Not a transportation mode but a combat-enhancer.

[@darrenbent7601]

A nice movieverse retooling of the G1 character, in both modes. About time they brought out the space-gun mode again.

[@Gojiraman2005]

If only we combined this masterpiece and the core class Shockwave

[@brotquel1592]

I was never a fan of Shockwave turning into a gun. However, with that being said, this thing looks incredible!

[@afm_pictures]

I feel the same way about Megatron being a gun.

[@robowarrior369]

This gives me high Dead Space vibes

Why not? What's cooler than turning into a gun?

[@Cwronaga216]

My only complaint is that they didn't give him an actual vehicle mode because the G1 gun mode doesn't really make sense as far as the Bumblebee movie goes

[@BubbaGunShrimp]

Shock wave is a scientist and modified himself so he has only ever been able to transform into a gun.

[@Cwronaga216]

@@BubbaGunShrimp that's a weird thing for a scientist to do. Also there's nothing about that in the Bumblebee movie universe. But when I say it doesn't make sense for the movies is that there is no Mass displacement in the movie Universe unlike the cartoon so him turning to a giant gun wouldn't make sense unless there was also a ridiculously large Transformer to hold him. As far as the movies are concerned he probably does have a vehicle alt mode similar to the other cybertronian shockwaves we've gotten in the past. I just don't think it makes sense for this version of Shockwave to turn into a handheld pistol.

[@hdhhsnananas5270]

@@Cwronaga216 every scientist is weird like shockwave literally dissecting another bot turning him into a Dino is a lot weirder than turning yourself into something that can actually help you

[@phantomninjagaming]

Yeah ikr!!

[@centauri9458]

Never liked how Megatron, Soundwave, Shockwave, Perceptor, and Blaster became tiny human sized pistols and radios and a microscope. But being a pistol would work for Devastator or the other combiners.

[@magic00squirrel]

Those characters began life as “micro change” toys in Japan, with the gimmick being that they were normal human objects that turned into robots. So when they were imported by hasbro to become transformers, they stood out a bit among the cars and jets, which were a part of the “diaclone” line in Japan.

That is utterly ridiculously gorgeous and I need that in my life.

[@cacskl]

The figurine is amazing, the only downside are the thighs, that it's too yellowish, it breaks from the rest of the color schemes. had it been silvery with some yellow rust accents it would have been perfect.

[@PrimeVsPrime]

I agree! I wish it was more metallic than yellow haha

[@reload54]

yup, I think instead of paint weathering to make him look dirty they could have weathered him with like a silver metallic paint scratches on the edges? As is he kinda looks dirty.

[@mr.velasco4919]

the yellowish white and purple color scheme makes him look like og blitzwing lmao

[@jacqueslin8178]

If the rebooted Transformers films take inspirations of Shockwave's tank alternative mode in Transformers prime while keeping his G1 appearance, that would be a massive cherry on top. I would absolutely love to see it.

[@dimitrihawkins1777]

Both shockwave and megaton toys are able to be either a gun or a tank

[@migatron1]

I don't mean to be "that guy" but, die-cast is the process of making the parts and not the material itself

[@PrimeVsPrime]

Yessss thanks man!

[@OverBenthousand]

At first I hated it and thought it was lazy.. But his robot mode is so good.. And growing up with G2/Armada (while catching tail ends of G1) I get why they did it and it grew on me. I'd like to see perhaps an upgrade kit to fill it up some but I NEVER display my Transformers in their alt modes.. Even tho I still believe they must still transform, lol. Great figure IMHO.

[@kratosrage6361]

I think the tank mode would be better for shockwave and megatron can have his classic g1 gun mode

[@Dreez76]

Shockwave during the G1 series was actually a type of telescope form, but strangely enough on his arrival on earth, he was a cannon. Great statue tho, impeccible coloring.

[@PrimeVsPrime]

I agree! Very nicely done!

[@uainjansun]

I don't like the gun mode much tbh (still great). I think bingo toys needs to step up in their have when it comes to the altmodes

I agree. Amazingly, I prefer the core class's tank mode, as simple as it is.

[@PrimeVsPrime]

[@jasonhoff2704]

Robot mode is perfect, no doubt. Gun mode is meh, but as you said obviously the robot mode was the main concern when they designed him. I'm interested in if there will be any fan-made alt modes though. The business end of the gun for me is the weakest point of the alt mode. It's just too large and bulky when compared to the back end. However, for a fan mode it's a good setup for a space ship maybe and only some other configuration for the legs. I'd need to fiddle with it in hand to see if I could come up with anything though. Side note, I like how all the molded detail serves to also hide some of the tabs and slots in robot mode. That one screw in the middle of his back though catches my eye every time. I think I would see about switching it out with a black one to see if it makes it less obvious similar to the two smaller ones in the back.

[@PrimeVsPrime]

I definitely think maybe it could be possible to configure some kind of tank out of this guy. I’ll give it a go and see what I come up with =)

[@saijnx]

This very cool shockwave of the transformers mister primevsprime

[@theholo-library4020]

This is basically perfect. It has Dlx properties and articulation, IT TRANSFORMS into the thing Shockwave is supposed to turn into and the transformation is relatively simple. I don't often say that a figure is perfect, but in this instance I think it is. I wouldn't want anything more out of this guy. Maybe the thighs. If they were white, metallic or gunmetal would be better.

This video came out 5hrs ago And now it’s all sold out. Me sad 😞

[@RingoLoadagain]

I have a feeling this is a precursor to an Optimus not only because of the matrix but also because of how many parts this design shares with BBM OP. Looks like a great figure if you like the DLX line, but the alt mode is kinda sad. I'm still hoping for fan modes to convince me that this is worth it as a transforming figure.

[@PrimeVsPrime]

Yesss definitely! Personally I’d like to see them do someone else tho. We’ve seen so many Primes from BB. It’s time for an Arcee, Ironhide, Brawn ect

[@RarebitFiends]

Sold out already. :( Is this the "PrimeVsPrime Effect"?

Looks very good. Unfortunately its a tad too big, does not fit in with any of the Threezero or 3rd party bots

While I would have preferred a tank mode akin to Studio Series Shockwave, I'm just glad he has an alt mode that looks like a "thing". BB Soundwave in contrast has nothing but trash alt modes no matter the figure, even from Hasbro.

[@PrimeVsPrime]

Haha yesss! This could obliterate SS Soundwaves alt mode

[@vincentcrowely6772]

Robot mode is awesome, but for alt-modes, I've always preferred his starfighter mode, and they could have gone that way without adding a lot of kibble to the robot mode.
