Title:
Shockwave
Description:
• GENS20
• Decepticon Shockwave (Cyber Battalion, 2018)
Released in the third wave of the Generations: Cyber Series Cyber Battalion figures, Shockwave transforms into a spaceship in a few easy steps. Unlike most figures in the Cyber Series, Shockwave is not based on any existing Transformers mold and has unique engineering. Additionally, he features a 5 mm-compatible fist and a well-articulated upper body, but lacks bicep swivels and knee articulation. His vehicle mode is loosely based on his original blaster mode but also takes some design cues from the Fall of Cybertron and Construct-Bots Shockwaves.
In vehicle mode, the upper body does not connect solidly anywhere resulting in parts moving out of place in copies with loose hinge joints. This is somewhat harder to correct than many figures due to how small the joint is and how it is recessed into the chest. His plastic is also cast in two different shades of purple, which contrast strongly against one another.
Amusingly, considering how easily he transforms between modes, his alt-mode is mistransformed in the stock photo. The robot mode Shockwave head rotates to an altered head in a different shade of purple for the vehicle mode.
Debuting in Asian markets, this figure was later sold in the United States at Walgreens stores.
