Legacy Core Shockwave

The core class figures we've been getting have been great for the most part, with modern engineering small scale transformers have been better than ever before, and that no different with today's review, Legacy Core Shockwave.
Core class Shockwave is an incredible representation of my favorite transformer of all time whilst also being the best figure of Shockwave at this scale.
The amount of detail that they crammed onto this guy is nothing short of amazing with these panel lines, vents, and other techno stuff he has to offer. Also those Decepticon logos on his shoulders are unbelievable with how small they are.
The head sculpt Shockwave has is just simply perfect.
The articulation Shockwave has is fantastic, allowing it to get in many dynamic poses. 
His transformation is simple but fun, resulting in an alt mode, like most other modern interpretations of Shockwave, is not a laser gun, he insisted turns into a smaller version of his leader class siege toy, except with a massive radar dish on top.
I honestly prefer the spaceship rather than the goofy laser gun he was in G1, but this figure actually has an homage to his original mode with a flip down landing gear that doubles as a handle for larger figures.
Core class Shockwave is a fantastic figure of my favorite character. Just the whole lineup of core class toys are great, if you've been on the fence about them you should totally give em a try! Double so because they're only like 10 bucks.
