Shockwave Robot 36

Rounding out our pics of Combiner Wars Legends Wave 5, we have a look at the sinister cyclopian Decepticon, Shockwave! This Decepticon is one of the best toys to be made in this size class, and a great update of the original Shockwave!

Shockwave’s robot mode is the star of the show, here. Unencumbered by extraneous vehicle parts, the robot is plain solid, and a nice little action figure. He’s got a great range of poseability – some of the best in the size class – and the looks are on-point with what you’d expect for Shockwave. He transforms into a “spaceship”, with a flip down peg for his gun mode. Really, the spaceship mode is a concession to give Shockwave a mode that does not depend on another toy to work, and the gun mode is arguably the real alternate mode. Sadly, the peg for the gun mode is actually obstructed by a square block – most toys hands simply will not fit the 5mm peg because this block gets in the way. Said block is there to steady the gun in the hands of a Combiner, so it’s got a purpose – it’s just a bit of a poor design choice that severely limits what you can do with that gun mode.

Gun mode flaws aside, Shockwave is awesome, and well worth a look. Check out our gallery to see if you agree with our thoughts:
