Next up in our Siege galleries is Ultra Magnus‘ wave mate – Shockwave! Shockwave is leader class like Magnus, and features the armor based up-sizing of a core voyager figure as well. In combined mode, Shockwave features a ton of armor that beefs him up, giving him multiple extra Shockarms a backpack and some boots. Where he really shines though is in his stripped down mode. Here, he’s roughly Voyager Class size and looks/feels very G1 Shockwave-y, space gun style. I got interested due to Magnus and got Shockwave on a whim since it was in the same case, but Shockwave was way more fun once in hand. I am not a fan of the default beefy Shock with all the armor, but I do dig his hovercraft mode, I can totally see him floating around on Cybertron barking orders with that thing.
We’ve run him through a session, hit the link below to check out over 60 HD images after the break courtesy of TFSource! You can also check a select few shots after the break.
He’s in stock and shipping now!

I haven’t seen any. I’ve seen the blade, missile upgrades, and an attachment to give the visor pointy ears, but no replacement

Apologies if this is the wrong thread. I was wondering if anyone has made a lighter replacement visor for jetfire. The current is way too dark under normal light.

Personally I’d prefer a bigger train front part since it’s tiny compared to the train body
REDEEMED
I was just wondering the same thing.

I\'m still hoping for a kit that adds on to the back end of the shuttle to smooth out that unfinished look.
Is anybody out there going to save us from this atrocity!?

I will never forgive nightscreams hair. Anyway, I don't give a crap about Astrotrain as a character, but man I've always loved the toy designs. The armored up voyager gimmick is a kicker.
Chaos Muffin
Your pics are always the tits!
RiD/Car Robots were sooooooo good.
Especially after the Beast Machines crap & Nightscream’s hair.
Was dying for the cars to return.
Optimax Prime
Kinda seeing that on both my Optimuses and my Megatron
deathsheadII

If you look at that picture of all the Astrotrain toys, from the original toy to the Titan\'s Return. Have you noticed how the \"train\" mode has gotten longer and the \"shuttle\" mode has gotten flatter?

Where’d you get the stands for the seekers?

I think I will bust him out at our next orgy.
Optimax Prime
My advice, rename the TR one
Kenchanayoh
That\'s some nasty paint

I own Titan Return Astrotrain but if I end up buying Siege Astrotrain one of them has to be renamed to Astroglide!

It\'s a great looking figure, I just think it could have been larger in size. It doesn\'t have to be as big as jetfire, just big enough to be a sizeable challenger. 3rd party makers take note. DX9 chighur is looking likely to be my next purchase if nothing else appears.
Protostar
Oh cool, I'm an Astrotrainian then

I'm fine with Voyagers + shit ton of accessories for a Leader pricepoint, but the accessories need to truly feel worth the 20 more $, or the figure should have noticeably more engineering, parts count, mass, or otherwise feel like a figure too expensive to sell as a solo Voyager. Studio Series 44 Optimus' trailer & accessories feel worth it, but I can't bring myself to say the same for Siege Shockwave. Aside from that, I'm fine with it, but also I still want the occasional Leader sized figure. I don't want to eventually have to be buying Commander Class figures that are just Leaders with extra accessories too just to get Leaders at all.

Love my Astro!

I wish the Earthrise version was different from the Cybertron one. Just the removal of the "cr@pple damage" paint would do for me, but something like a cleanly painted version of his white iteration would also be welcomed.
