Transformers DOTM Voyager Shockwave Repaint #2 / Updated with Robot Mode Image

Takara version maybe?

Any chance somebody with some Photoshop skills can recolour a pic of a stock Shockwave like the last time a repaint hovered about?

I'm looking at mine and trying to work out what parts are coloured what in robot mode, I obviously have a limited visionary ability... this might actually be worth picking up at retail.... maybe...

Off topic (kinda), what happened to the other grey repaint? Haven't heard anything about it since - did HasTak actually listen to collector feedback for a change?!

That already got release, and Takara's movie figures tend to be the same as the Hasbro versions.

yawn. another repaint

lame repaint!
that clear pipping looks like a dildo sticking out of shockwave.

PASS!

you're welcome to whoever wants it.

I must agree with a lot of other people.....BRING ON THE PRIME FIGURES!

i kinda like the mix of clear and solid plastics but its still just another repaint from what we can see from the pictures. This is probably going to be part of a 2 or 3 pack or maybe a line like the allspark one from the first movie.

I like the transparent hose but that's about it.

It's too bad that we can't just buy the new colored cannon/hose. Unless I can find it at clearance prices somewhere I'll just have to pass.

looks like its trying to be a G1 repaint

I agree. I might pick this up if it is an individual figure, definitely if it is in a three/two pack.

Sex toy Shockwave

Is it wise to make the bendy hose out of translucent plastic? I thought translucent plastic breaks easier.

^Transleuscent rubber.

Yo know, I like the hose, the cannon, and the gneral G1 nods. I like this robot mode more over the original, but I'm not feeling the colors on the vehicle mode. And of the three Shockys we have, my fav is still the colors on the first repaint.

I think I like the other repaint better; I'm not a big fan of the translucent parts.

Looks really cool! But I don't really see what's so bad about the wrong with the last repaint. Makes a really good Movie-verse Galvatron.

It's like they have all the right parts for a really kickass dark purple Shockwave spread across 3 different colour schemes -

I wonder if you got all 3 (or even just this and the other grey repaint that hasn't hit stores yet), with a little reassembly (swapping the translucent hose for the black one would be the easiest first part, for example), would you actually have a dark purple Shockwave thats purple in altmode as well?

Hmmm, theres food for thought.....

Same here, once the auction hit the $50 price range I bowed out

The Colors give me a Squeezeplay vibe. Somebody remold the head...

Indeed :3

Why couldn't they have made him like this in the first place??
This is ALOT better than the purple version.

I think the DOTM toy line generally suck, but this repaint is kinda cool.

When are we gonna get a repaint of Voyager sentinel?
I own the mold, And would prefer LESS grey plastic...
I think he's look good in black and purple as a decepticon.

@beastprowl: don't deny it he's one sexy bot though

Gawd, lets hope hasbro doesnt name him "Vibro-tech" Shockwave.
Each tf now comes with new vibrotech weapons....
you people have corrupted me once again....

I like the colors ,old school vibe .

lol don't give them ideas ;3
who knows if they will even consider it with an new toy line for adult female fans

Is the voyager movie Shockwave about the same size as Classics Optimus and Megatron?

If this was a Galvatron figure I would buy this, but it's just a fancy, cool looking repaint. Maybe someone could make a custom Galvatron out of it, but I probably will save money by not getting him. But he's still pretty cool looking for people who are ok with repaints.

Yes, Hes almost exactly the size of Optimus.

Yet another of those rare cases where the repaint looks better than the original IMO. I will be picking this one up!

Managed to snag one of these for a single quid, the seller apparently does have several judging from the fact he just re-listed yet another one and has another as a high priced buy-it-now.

Keep in mind that shipping though...translates to $27 US by itself.

i would love the weapon for my shockwave

He apparently gave up on the auction stance it seems: he's got it now as a BIN at $80.56 US, or at a little over $100 for all three variants in one lot, no shipping fees. o_O

Gotta love it when greed kicks in.

Got it in the mail today, and immediately swapped the cannon on the original. The results look...actually very good.





As you can see even the mechtech gun works right, and uses non-clear parts for the levers and so forth that make it more structurally sound.

Here's a shot of the repaint with Shockwave's original gun:


All in all this looks and feels very official too: the joints are tight, the parts match up and it has the same weight as the original. An interesting bit is that the decepticon logo has also been moved, instead of being painted on the gun it's now painted on the headrest for the tank mode.

Definitely worth the roughly $25 I paid for it.

Could you post some images of the new figure with no parts swapped out, and maybe side by side with the original DOTM Shockwave?

Took three shots...you'll have to forgive me, my hands fidget just slightly and everytime they do I get a blurry shot, but here you go:

Seibertron.com member Kung Fu Man has shared a few in-hand images of the Transformers Dark of the Moon Voyager Shockwave repaint featuring translucent MechTech cannon and hose that surfaced a couple of weeks ago. Besides the obvious color changes and inclusion of translucent plastics, the Decepticon symbol has been moved from the cannon to the front portion/face cover of the tank. Still no word on the availability of this repaint.

Check out Kung Fu Man's images below.

If it is a ...

- US launch Repaint - I think they should have just taken the original and recolored all the colored parts purple. Just a translucent tip on his cannon would have been a nice touch along with a black hose from the cannon.

-Takara Version - same as above but with added shininess in various places.

man thats horrible, the clear parts on the original shockwave look ok but that repaint is bad.

Meh.....i'll stick to my G1. Although i do like the translucent plastic. I just still haven't seen a shockwave that beats the original and has tempted me to buy it. Even though the DOTM version is growing on me it just doesn't have a place in my collection whatsoever.

I would have liked it if other parts were translucent

I think I'd like it more if the re-paints head was purple too.

Take AAALLLL The repaints and partswap them to shit until you get an all purple shocky. Cheers!

The tanslucent weapons looks great on shockwave but i'd keep the translucent tube on the original one as well.

You know i think this is a tankor/tank drone homage
