Third Party company Magic Square Toys have revealed, via their Weibo account, the first renders of their new MS-B32 Legends Scale Shockwave.
Magic Square bring us a very nice take on G1 Shockwave for the competitive legends scale market. The renders reveal a good cartoon-accurate design. Robot mode will be only 10.8 cm tall. As an extra bonus, there’s an image of the prototypes of the extra hands and accessories.

Fair enough lol

I have all five versions of Newage's Shockwave. The barrel folding into his chest is one of my favorite pieces of transformation engineering but I prefer the build and stature of Magic Square's offering along with his additional articulation and accessories.

If you dislike the barrel sitting on the back you could always get the Newage.

I dislike how most Shockwave’s have dealt with his alt mode barrel. IMO it’s lazy to have it just fold up into a backpack and I was disappointed to see Magic Square copy the Masterpiece’s transformation. I decided to pop up the top most pin out of my A version’s backpack and I’m quite satisfied with the results.
Magic Square Spock is already quite stocky but his backpack gave him a “camper” look to my eye so I’m much happier with how much slimmer he looks without it. And if I want, I can always just peg it into his back without issue.
He still can transform and I don’t really care about the partsforming.

I’d still love to get a Shackwave/Galactic Man from this mold. I think the grey and red would be very fitting.

I have to agree with shockwaves assessment of his fashion options. Decepticon purple is definitely slicker.
But I don’t know about “decepticon pink”.

Toy vs toon colors feelings are illogical to Shockwave. The darker purple looks cooler

Anyone know where I can get a replacement yellow led? I can find batteries but only green and red lights. Don't know where to go

Had a great experience with ShowZStore getting me my missing adapter. I'm really impressed with their customer service.
zestymans
Yep, got that squared away a little while ago.

I had this exact issue with the copy I bought off of MagicSquare's website. I contacted them and they sent me a whole new set of adapters. So now I am all set. You should do the same.

Got a chance to finally sit down and take some pics. Excuse the doublers took pictures with and without flash to see how it looked.
Appreciate any criticism either way, trying to improve my pictures.

Have the recolor for some time now, but didn't have time for taking pics until now. Deskbot shot.
Really liking the recolor, glad I got him

I had the same issue with mine. I’m inclined to assume it’s just a skipped step in the process, since there’s no glue residue on the tab.

Mine arrived today from @ShowZStore . Was surprised as it bet two other things shipped from showz that left before it lol.

The silver part of the mini shockwave was off the purple part in the box and I can't tell if it's broken or not as there is still a tab on the purple part that the silver fits on.
Seems like a good figure, I struggled to get the purple backpack on though, doesn't seem like it wants to fit but I did manage it. Only had time for a few quick pictures will hopefully have time for more later in the week.

Sooo, it appears I'm not the only one that's had an issue with that tab. Huh, Nice. I still have to contact MS about this matter, I keep forgetting about it though, probably since I'm not a fan of their after sales process. I also just realized after taking that picture, I never bothered taking the piece of his foot. Lol. I should just glue it back on and say F it. Hardly worth getting exicted about.

Yeah, that's the tab. The same side too. Guess it'll be living in robot mode for the forseeable future.
