sooooo. . . . mom n dad'd throw a fit if their kids got a hold of a toy gun, but a heavily armed battle cruiser (sometimes tank), which, in and of itself is a GIANT SPACE GUN, is perfectly alright? YOU'RE NOT FOOLIN' ANYONE, HASBRO

[@nedinnis6752]

To be fair, it's less about "violence" so much as imitatable violence. Average kids don't have access to tanks or missiles, but they can get a hand on their inattentive parent's pistol to play pretend Megatron. So long as they can't substitute their toys with real weapons, it's usually fine. On the other hand, Nerf exists.

[@metalliclark86]

Fuck these soccer moms. Stop the schools from drugging kids up and find out about the cause of theit problems instead, if they care so much about youth gun violence. But that would actual solve anything which is why it will never happen.

I think leader is now less about how tall a figure is and more about how much stuff/mass a figure has.

[@amyhurd6506]

Correct, HasTak bases it on parts count and plastic volume as opposed to size. It all comes down to profits in the end.

[@thetruenemesis469]

Say that to the studio series line

[@tfdude1394]

@@thetruenemesis469 Voyager ROTF Megs and Leader 07 Blackout are roughly the same height, but since Blackout weighs more and has a larger parts count, he costs more. DOTM Megs IS the same height as ROTF Megs, but since the DOTM figure has a higher part count, he costs more. Keep in mind, Seige, just like Studio Series, is also making the figures in scale. Magnus is basically a voyager Optimus with armor, so he'll cost more than just a voyager. While unarmored Shockwave is slightly shorter than Megs, his armor puts him at roughly equal height. Shockwave and Megs are about the same height, but because Shockwave comes with extra parts, he's more expensive. So to recap: I believe the leader size class is no longer about much taller it is than a voyager, but how much heavier it is than a voyager.

I think he sold at leader class, due to the amount of plastic, that is all. He maybe voyager size, but he has more plastic than an average voyager.

Yup, it simply comes down to parts count. There's no way they could sell all that at a Voyager price point.

[@joesoul2472]

in a roundabout kind of way, the Evolution Leaders from POTP was the same way. Hot Rod and Orion Pax were basically deluxe figures with add on armor, but the base figures were pure deluxe size

Whoah whoah whoah, you can find him at Walmart?! My Walmart has no siege whatsoever. My best luck is a target that might have a new voyager

[@artemistherin9262]

I think part of the reason for the downsized leader class figures(Magnus is of similar height) is that Hasbro stated they are trying to put more focus on all the figures scaling well with each other in this line(a "traditional" sized leader class Shockwave would have towered over Megs)

[@Traph]

So this Shockwave can look like Green Goblin and Dr. Octopus? Awesome. BUT like most recent TFs he's SOOO SMALL! Nice review bud!

[@jaymcc845]

I wonder if Hasbro had given him all these accessories because they now recognise that he is the guardian... Of an entire planet and severely understaffed? 😅

[@jacobreed620]

I really like this figure, but 50$ for a voyager with accessories is pretty steep. Although I dont own a shockwave that isnt the tfp version so I might be forced paying 50$ for this guy. Can't wait for the Magnus review, heard hes a good figure

[@thepiraka99]

Jacob Hunter Reed leader class figures usually go on sale. Just gotta be patient that’s what I’m going to do for shockwave.

[@TrueNomadSkies]

Even the beast hunters Shockwave came with some add on parts, so really this one kind of makes sense in that he's experimenting on himself.

i was able to snag the generations selections version of this and was happy to see light piping in it. but watching this reveiw i learned something i didnt know about this figure, that being the landing gear on the beam gun's top section. and yes i love this toy alot. more then my magnus (which sadly came with a factory QC error of two left biceps out of the box)

[@carn9507]

I like the main figure. Hate the backpack thing and that to own the voyager size figure i have to pay leader class price for a goofy accessory i don't want. Annoyingly it's the only Siege figure i was even considering buying until the price point was revealed. I have no interest in G1-style stuff but just wanted a decent voyager Shockwave (this being the first ever in that size class to appeal enough to me as don't care for simple ones like cyber battallion/cyberverse or the weird looking energon or prime or whatever versions) to recreate the Are All Dead comic cover on my shelf and the MP is far too expensive for me and hoped this would be voyager priced. Oh well. Never mind.

[@ShadowCommanderOne]

Maybe 3rd party will add on kit or shapeways. Like feet adaptor/gun for height and a larger cannon(or claw that turns into a handle for gun mode) for armor mode so the arm stands out from the other 2 extra arms. Other then that most likely getting this. Thanks emgo

[@slochedplays9585]

Playing with cog with sideswipe and hound helped me understand what Hasbro is going for with the leader class toys: The toys have armor and extra weapons as kind of an outgrowth of the weaponizer play pattern. As in, they come with their own weaponizer parts. I wonder what that means for future leader toys. (Though the rumored retool of Ultra Magnus into some kind of armored Optimus Prime seems all but assured at this point.) Actually, what would be right up my ally would be a leader class Galvatron. But the core figure is a megatron who becomes Galvatron when you add the armor. I'd love that, but after Titans Return Galvatron that's probably exactly what most fans don't want.

[@SwiftpawWolffox]

I would not be surprised to see Siege Ultra Magnus retooled into another version of Powermaster Optimus Prime or such.

[@theobserver887]

A little tip y'all. When I was switching mine from alt mode back to robot I forgot all about the ankle tabs and recklessly pulled them apart. And now there are stress fractures on mine.😤

[@robertj.3383]

Just a heads up. When making it back into a robot, remember to untab and pull back on the weird little head thing before splitting apart, to avoid stress fractures on the tabs. Like on mine😡

The Price-shock wore off after I got Shockwave out of the packaging and saw the QUALITY of this figure. But I'm calling this a "Extra Deluxe" figure. Shockwave is shorter than Orion Pax from the POTP Optimus Prime Evolution figure.

[@KodyCrimson]

You know, I wasn't planning on getting this figure, but I think I may just pick him up now (mostly because his alt mode was not a gun while his robot mode was insanely accurate, but now that I see the gun, I am convinced to pick him up). I happen to have found a coupon for Target that, if my dad doesn't use it, I'll use it to go pick up a Shockwave. Thanks for this review.

[@DaigoSouza]

Anybody remember when Deluxe were 9.99, voyagers were 19.99, can't remember if leaders were 39 or 49.99. I miss those prices. Personally it's not worth buying a deluxe class for 17 plus dollars.

[@bentbliley]

i know i’m like, 2 1/2 years late to this but the way i see shockwave (and galactic man)’s leaderness is you pay an extra 20ish bucks for a kicka** character themed display stand that when disassembled adds to the fun factor of the figure in both alt mode and robot mode. when i finally get my hands on galactic man, he’ll be proudly displayed on the hover-sled-of-murder-death-display-stand.

[@myriadmediamusings]

Would be cool to see Shockwave actually like this at some point in media. Either it can be a mode Shockwave does use the few times he does go into battle and for good reason, kinda like Frieza. Or it could be something Shockwave attains when the cool, calculating scientist goes berserk or mad.

Just a word of warning, if you’re too rough with the hose it can break. I guess some of the ports are too tight for it to fit, or the peg is too big for the ports, apparently an issue with this figure, I had to superglue mine back together the day after I got it because it broke the night I got it.

[@CrimsonRaptors]

At 6:34 I passed on him at the store before of the price, but damn, that looks so good. You know, I think I can justify it this way, $30.00 for the Voyager Shockwave, and $20.00 for a Deluxe-Sized "Sentinel Robot Drone" to seek out Female Autobots, Spike, Carly, and other miserable glitches for a total of $50.00. *blinks* Crap, now I gotta buy him, because Soundwave is getting a Voyager-sized figure as well!
