If it weren’t for this review, I would have gone cross-eyed with the official black and white instructions! Saved me more unnecessary paint chipping on this now expensive toy. Thank you!
Thank you for this. I got a loose complete Shockblast without instructions. Figured out about 90% but couldn't figure out why the feet were either backwards or inside out. The two other videos I found either started from robot mode or timelapsed so fast it was I possible to follow. Thank you! Now to turn it back to alt mode and put it on a shelf... forever.
Thank you for this vid it helped a ton, as my uncle gave me this toy when i was alot younger and as a result broke this transformer. However just recently i have found all the parts and rebuilt him. Thank you for the guide on how to transform him it helped alot and i can now show my uncle this toy intact when he gave it to me :)
I kind of figured out that you have to pull the back kibble down before shoving the head through the hood. Makes it at LEAST 2x easier on the car hood (and your brain) that way
Alternators usually scare me because they can get pretty complex pretty quickly!? But for once not with SW variant, took alittle bit but not the point that I wanted to pull my hair out (looking at you Prowl!!.). So yeah he was actually very enjoyable to mess around with. He reminds alot SIEGE SW for some reason?! The colors or light piping?! Idk but I'm unexpectedly very happy to have him for under $30!!! Probably still the most unique SW around.
I can totally imagine "What your telling my that after getting completely rebuilt from scratch my hand I lost nearly four million years ago is still missing? Come on!"
I said this on one of your other videos, but yeah definitely a poor man's master peice, or is it , some of these guys fetch a good price . I like the reviews you should do more .
It is 2022 and I dug mine Binaltech version out of storage. I came to this video to figure out how to transform it and HOLY FUCKING SHIT, it is so difficult...

No problem

🥲
You saved my love for this figure I had no idea how to get the through before this thank you
Thanks so much for explaining the head transformation. I was tearing my hair out trying to get the hood to stay down.
Me too. Lol. That's why I went slow

Awesome Retro Review. I love those Alternators and Binaltech TF's.
Always a great review from you.

I remember getting this for Christmas when it came out.

These were Masterpiece back in 2004
This figure is pretty stylin, especially the painted Takara version.
I hope Hasbro's eventual stateside release of Masterpiece Shockwave sports this color scheme.
+Alex Lemonds that's a lot of hoping in that sentence
☝🏿😁👍🏿 One of my fav toys in my collection. Dope Transformer.
Thanks for watching
Shock Blast is the true Decepticon leader in Alternators.
Since they never made Megatron, why not
Nice to take as trip down memory lane with ya, bud ;)
+Allen G I got Allen to show up! I only habe a fee more of these to go before its over. 😢
Shock blast may be a decepticon but his RX8 looks cool
Shockwave looks sweet. Never seen this one. Awsome vehicle mode and robot mode. Those suicide doors are sick looking
+BlackNight 710 agreed
+BlackNight 710 agreed
I just bought one of these off of ebay
I think Plymouth barracuda or a classic muscle car might be suited for him and i think shockwave would like it i think....
Shockwave cares only about logic
I Like This video Good job Awsome Toy review bro
This figure would be perfect if it was a MX-5... Oh, well. Almost
+Shockwave 2 look up Transformers alternators windcharger. It looks very close to the car you're talking about but it's still not in MX5
Bad ass!
Yup
a BLAST from the past!
+eyescovered exactly
It is 2022 and I dug mine Binaltech version out of storage. I came to this video to figure out how to transform it and HOLY FUCKING SHIT, it is so difficult...
It's easy
I'm an autobot for life
+Jarahn D Williams better watch out for Shockwave
TMan978 ill take him down that is what all autobots do to evil
He's a reliable asset of megatron but he's a unreliable car
Why call him Shockblast???
Around the time they released this figure they didn't have the rights to the name Shockwave. They didn't get it back until the third movie
Is he voyager or deluxe scale?
+Cole Oresik alternators are bigger than Voyager Class
@@TMan978 really?
They are bigger than Masterpiece cars like Prowl and Tracks
@@TMan978 oh
Good try bro, trying to convince us that this is Shockwave...this is not Shockwave
It says shockblast on the box so technically you're right.
Debating on getting this guy in 2023... Has he aged well?
Well let's just say this. That figure came out around 2004-2005. Check the date of this video
@@TMan978 oh wow... He might be older than me!
Anyone ever painted the car to the same as your rx8
...?
@@TMan978 I’m Ment if you buy this can I paint it so it looks like my car. I’ll show you pictures Iv done before
Alternators Was A Really Cool Toyline Back In The Day But Now That Generations Is A Thing Alternators Look VERY Dated...
I compare them more to MP
2021?
I don't know what that date is about but this video is old and you can see the date on it if you chack
@@TMan978 I mean I'm watching in 2021 and thinking about buying it here in Brazil
