@dbae148 жыл бұрын
+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.

+db ae14 well I meant the stand you really don't need to have on him. Nothing against third parties I just don't like Apollyon.

Just none of the Megatron's teased from any of the 3p companies have impressed me yet besides the one from Boldform which is a triple changer. I am still having hope for the TT release

+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.
@lasafrog8 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.

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.

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.

Factor in the huge gaping hole in the back and official should only be slightly better than 3rd party, if at all. 3rd party offers some great stuff, and Quakewave is one example of that.

Not that QW looks bad mind you, i just want a more cartoon representation and honestly QW doesn't have that much at all. It's obvious who he is, but it's a more modern update to it. Which makes total sense because they can't straight up copy the EXACT look otherwise it probably would cause even MORE problems for 3rd parties.

+Jason Dembowski Jr My mistake. As a joke, I obviously agree.

+optibotimus Thanks for the review Paul. Agree that MP Shockwave looks great in robot mode, and my "Transformers" stay in robot mode 99% of the time. I'm disappointed in the feet, both that they seem narrow in robot mode and that maybe with one extra joint they could solve the handle issues in alt mode. QW's legs are admittedly too thick. Shockwave is not off by much, but I think he's short. Too bad for us you moved your QW before you could provide the side by side. As a MP collector and fan, I'm disappointed that MP Shockwave doesn't clearly blow away Quakewave, IMO. Then again, I should not expect perfection... Tracks' backpack… Ironhide's hip skirts … MP-11 torsos… I think HasTak has recently deviated from the "masterpiece" concept. The alt mode gaps on Shockwave are really unexpected from a masterpiece.
