I love the engineering that went into the legs on this guy. It's really clever, lends itself to a slim design and has good aesthetics. It's also not the reason the articulation is compromised. I also love how the barrel doesn't partsform save for the stand.
That would be me when someone say you can't do something my mom would say shouldn't of said that because I would yell CHALLENGE ACCEPTED just to make my mom pissed when she finds out I literally did exactly what I shouldn't of😅 I am a trouble maker for a reason😏
The backpacks on both Shockwave and Quakewave remind me of those old-school large field radios that the military used to use. One could just have more of a gimmick to it.
Sorry for commenting so much EmGo but theres a real easy way to pull Shockwaves head out without risking wearing out the balljoint or breaking it When the head is tucked in his chest grab a hold of his ears and gently wiggle his head upwards until u can make him look up as far as he can, then grab the base of the ball joint, pull up the rest of the way and then back slightly
Wow... I'm torn. I was thinking an official release would blow my mind, but seeing both Laserwave and Quakewave next to each other... I can't really determine which one is better. I've been in the market for an MP Shockwave, and I thought the official MP would have me sold, but dang... Great review Emgo!
+emgo316, I was greatly amused when you pulled Shockwave's head off. I experienced the same thing with this toy and was also stunned when it happened. Now I know that the head panel is supposed to be able to click in place. Thanks!
I personally prefer the official one. It just looks better to me, and I think it has something to do with how smooth it looks, like it hopped right off an 80s cartoon cel.
Another good vid emgo, I watch you and like you over all the other reviewers because you have heart, your not like a robot and make your reviews the exact same every time. You actually joke around and give out feeling unlike most reviewers, thank you for doing that. You are truly the best reviewer.
Fun fact, in the G1 cartoon there actually was at least 1 (possibly more) occasion where he was holding a mini version of himself in gun mode, and dual wielding that with his left arm cannon.
Currently waiting on this guy to arrive. Never owned a Shockwave in G1 era or my new era of collecting that started in 3/21. The stored stand, I was pleasently surprised at that.
+emgo316 I agree on the personal tastes and preferences, not questioning honesty, but perhaps perspective (objectivity?) which may fall squarely within tastes and preferences. Again, great review as always. My kids and I greatly appreciate what you do.
+emgo316 Thanks for another great review! I have found that your reviews are informative, objective, and always humorous. Those three qualities combined makes you one of the most unique reviewers on UA-cam. Thanks again brother!
thumb's up on your video Quakewave and Fanstoys deserve some love they introduced a high level of build quality that made third party companies try and excel on giving the fans high quality figures. Shockwave does have his own merits but overall having both in hand as an adult collectable Quakewave wins in my own opinion. But really the winner is the collector because we have options available to us third party or official. But to anyone who hasn't handled a Quakewave will never know how real quality feels in hand. Cheers to all collectors.
Eugene Robledo Honestly, if I didn't know what the official Masterpiece Shockwave looked like, and someone showed me a picture of Quakewave, then I would think it was official.
I have the cloud 9 quakeblast very menacing looking great paint job ... The mp looks cheap ,and too much money should of between $75 to $80 range like hotrod. Quakeblast looks great on my shelf. Great video like always
I would say that the third party Shockwaves look cheap because of that awful grainy texture that reminds me of the vast majority of knockoff and counterfeit transformers toys which are very cheaply made.
the skit at the part where shock wave says "hey if you talk about my girls i will give you a fresh one. i mean burito yea a fresh burito yeaaaa" XD i could just think megatron thinking "what the frick did you just say?" XD keep up the good work and remember you dont stop playing because you grow old you grow old because you stop playing be geek be proud and PALM IN YOUR FACE **static**
I really like all of your reviews. Great analysis and entertaining as well. It really helps when thinking which figure to pick up. I wish you compared him to Combiner Wars Shockwave. That would have been cool.
If I recall one of the reasons they had production issues is that they used two Japaneses companies to make the show. This is why in season three Prime was seen at the end of "Dark Awakening" he had one arm (The other had been ripped off by Hot Rod). Only to have both at the start of "The Return of Optimus Prime"
I got mine today lesse here is something new from a transformer, the transformation is fun: didn't expect that and he stands like a champ:didn't expect that. The comments were as much fun to read as the video was to watch... until the skit happened superb use of the shockwave extras only the great Emgo could come up with a skit that funny. You make great art from our favorite toys, a sincere applause sir.
Tip with the head!!! Push it BACK AND UP at the same time when clicking the panel for his helm into place. The way the ball joint is designed is like a hook. If you pull straight up, his helm will go flying 😅
Did the original G1 Shockwave (I had "Shackwave" in the 80's) have sound bites? If he did, MP version should have came with a Space Bridge control podium with sound effects. Thanks E !!!
doomswoop G1 had no voice fx just two VERY loud gun fx, a pew pew pew and pewpewpewpewpewpew. I had original as a kid but his ‘ears’ were floppy and my cat ate his hose so I got one off eBay several years ago
Had Quakewave a while, a compromise I'm thinking is sticking him with MP-5 Megs, and MP-3 mold seekers. He will probably look even shorter next to MP-5, but its an idea.
I still have my original shockwave, and I'm happy to see they kept them so similar. I'm happy to see they kept the original design. However I have a few concerns. I saw that his legs, and torso are on swivel joints, and hollow, and his gun barrel apurture is a long piece on a singe hinge. It would make me nervous to transform him. He seems like the kind of toy you transform then display. He won't stand a lot of wear and tear.
The armature that connects the tip of the barrel to the upper torso with a hinge on both ends of the armature on the Masterpiece is die cast metal. Also, the hose on the Masterpiece is a metal coil that has a string inside and the outward motion in the hips is provided by simple friction hinges, thus giving the Masterpiece the ability to do the full splits. In addition to all of that, all of the ratchet joints have unpaintable plastic in them and the neck and wrist articulation are provided by ball joints. I have a copy of Masterpiece Shockwave and I've transformed it several times and not once did I rip its head off when transforming it to robot mode.
I had this rich friend who had every transformer. I can't tell you who weird he was, none the less he had everything. So naturally I eventually wanted the G1 Shockwave. Not the best articulation but if you want your wife to instantly go away this is the tool to have... G1 SHOCKWAVE!
Man, I'm sitting here holding mine up to the screen to compare the color and I've got to say, he might be the most non-photogetic Transformer I've ever seen. It is literally IMPOSSIBLE to properly capture his in-hand color in pictures and on video. He's not blue in hand, people. He's a nice, medium shade of purple. Not quite as dark as Quakewave, but close enough.
I just got this guy, and having watched other reviews of it, yours is the only one that shows the step of extending the torso to free up the waist articulation. Was it really stiff on yours? Because mine feels like I'm going to break it when I try to do it. I just haven't bothered since all it's going to do is stand on a shelf with my other Shockwave's.
I still want this and soundwave but don't have the budget to do so. Little did we know that the transformation and the Upside down look was coming to us in the form of grevious Shockwave
Been checking my walgreens and nuthin. From the pics i saw online he was gonna be slightly shorter than mp. I see now he aint. Thanks Em, saved me from getting hollow stiff leg
Quake wave is meant to be the masterpiece representation of the toy Shockwave, where the current masterpiece Shockwave is meant to be based on the cartoon
good review. I just can't get over the fact that he's so much slighter than Quakeblast and Quakewave. This guy is a powerfull Decepticon if not the most powerful I think the Takara one makes him look a bit lame. P.S. I'm a happy Quakeblast owner.
great review and the bit at the end was darn hilarious!! I like mp-29 for the bot mode and no parts forming but it doesnt look like its worth $159 compared to other MP :-/
I love the engineering that went into the legs on this guy. It's really clever, lends itself to a slim design and has good aesthetics. It's also not the reason the articulation is compromised. I also love how the barrel doesn't partsform save for the stand.
I don't care about partsforming stands and weapons. Everything else bugs me so I'm glad this doesn't do that.

Yes, but you can tell the plastic quality is really shitty. I hope FansToys makes a new model of Shockwave.

@James Castle, Indeed it is my friend, indeed it is.
I remember that line. Just gonna rewatch Beast Wars again.

Ok the stand turning into a backpack is actually pretty clever.

Fear not Megatron! Cybertron shall remain as you leave it.
honestly i just realised that its pretty close to animated shockwaves voice
It’s the same voice actor from G1. 😉
