I have both Energon Shockblast and Sixshot. They're easily My favorite non-MP Shockwaves. I bought them new during Energon and I have never had them break.

The Legends mini Shockwave is pretty cool figure, too.
>>
>>5734636
Not sure where you're quoting that from, but yeah, it's not a perfect recreation. Honestly, a perfect one wouldn't be possible on those molds (for reasons such as Motormaster only being a cab and not a cab+trailer). Overall though, he's pretty close.

Shockwave has so many great toys imo

Cybertron is cool aside from the derp alt modes and fuckhuge cannon

FoC is dope as fuck but tiny, can't wait for that 3P

Legends is amazing

Prime is weirdly styalized but still kickass

Animated deviates a lot from the usual look but is still fun

Movie Shockwave is a def fave of mine, second only to FoC, I'm not a fan of movie looks but that toy is rad

MPs only flaw is that crappy colour

And speaking of MP styles theres Quakewave and Quakeblast, both awesome

Then theres a bunch of other odd 3Ps like that huge ass hearts of steel boat one

The problem with Energon Shockblast isn't his waist joint is fragile, it's that it never locks into place, so his torso feels floppy.

I'd second that. I had the original and loved it to pieces (literally), and I wouldn't mind another version of him. I wonder which CW mold could be retooled as Tracks?

Do the RtS thing and have Tracks and Wheel Jack be tow versions of the same mold?

I want an update of the Lancia in the new Diaclone line,but ignoring any cartoon influence so its in ape proportions like the origunal toy. Think the Japanese book cover Starship Troopers armor design.

Same goes for a few other G1/Diaclone toys. I love a few of the toys more than the cartoon,and some are distinctive enough as to not be redundant with MPs.

I like chunky RtS Wheeljack, but then my memory of the cartoon is fuzzy, and I don't consider it gospel, and in many cases find the cartoon versions inferior.

>>5735973
Eh. Come to think of it, as a moderate fan, I still have a hunger for good "Classics" versions even when a MP comes out, but also often like MPs and can afford them, especially with such high quality KOs of almost every one being made.

I'm fine with RtS Wheeljack, and though I'm mostly fine with RtS Tracks, I wouldn't mind an even better one.

>>5735757
>CW Wheeljack as Tracks
Bleh. No thanks.

I wish they had done a major remolding of the figure so the legs formed the front of the vehicle. It would have been perfect for both Wheeljack and Lightspeed. It would have made such a huge difference. They remolded almost the whole figure anyway.

>>5736109

The biggest personal gaps in my collection, aside from dinobots and beast combiners, are the -masters. No nostalgia for them (or any of g1) but I love most of the headmaster designs and their gimmick.

Get Metro, has more accesories, playability and accuracy to the original character, Fort doesn't have any weapon or minibot companion, Metro comes with Scamper.

There are 2 3P Metros, both smaller and more expensive.
>>
>>5736322

I don't mind the T shape torso but its very unflattering when looked at from dead on.

Fort Max seems like he's superior in proportions but i've always been shaky on his color scheme. Maybe the Takara version will look better?

Also, because of the way Combiner Wars was basically just a first and last wave release here, all I've got for my CW Decepticons are Drag Strip, Dead End, Motormaster (the good one, at least) and... erm... Swindle. Who kinda fits, arguably. He's an asshole and he turns into a car-thingy, that makes him close enough to a Stunticon, I'd argue.

Wow. I didn't even remember the original had purple. Now I want purple on an MP version.

I usually hate red with blue, but the red is so minimal that I don't mind at all. Such tasteful color balance.

I'm curious if there's any science behind tastes in color schemes. I know people have different opinions, but do they break down into biological imperatives? Do people with an education in art have a richer appreciation and have more "refined" tastes or is that just elitist justification?

>>5736288
I'm Chaotic Descent, not that it matters.
>>
>>5736348
They are the same character just with upgrades, if you count them as companion then you could say that Fortress has weapons unplugging his shin cannons.
>>
>>5736322
I love that torso style. ... it's on the Bruticus toy as well.

I'd grab Fort Max before the market prices go up. At Least Metroplex is already gone up in price. I regret not getting a Takara 'plex in addition to Hasbro, but at least I got that.

>>5736309
TFCon in the north-east is fine. Large enough. No idea how the US one is, but the "Toronto" one is decent. Location sucks for poorfags like me who bus, but I'm probably in the minorities.
>>
>>5736429
Education in art just means you've spent a lot of time minutely focused on colors and how they interact. That may lead to more refined tastes and more intentionally thought-out opinions.

But the good ol' color wheel and the rules of color compliments and clashes don't come from nowhere. People who study this stuff (obviously not all toy designers) know that there are color combinations that will tend to satisfy people, and others that look like a sour musical chord sounds.

You don't have to be formally educated to appreciate color interaction, though. All you have to do is pay attention to it enough, and you'll start to work out for yourself what you think works and what doesn't. A lot of toy collectors and model builders just pick stuff up on their own.

Or they'll see where someone has added a custom paint app to change a color a few shades in one direction or another, and you realize "Holy shit, it's the same color, but that version of the same color looks a lot better!"

You can draw your own conclusions about whether it's biological or not, but there's plenty of literature out there about color psychology.
>>
>>5736462
Well, for example, I know that the theory behind colors having certain "emotions" is made-up.
... Huh. I guess I was partially wrong. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_psychology
I just remember reading an article saying that it was made-up, probably after reading an article that said it was legit.

I'll see if I can search the internet, though I've always been horrible at research and web searches. I'll try "color theory" after reading that earlier wikipedia article in full.

Like, I wonder why I LOVE those "European"/"G2" color schemes so much, yet there are many people who find them hideous.

>Or they'll see where someone has added a custom paint app to change a color a few shades in one direction or another, and you realize "Holy shit, it's the same color, but that version of the same color looks a lot better!"
Huh. I misinterpreted what you said, but I know also that colors beside other colors change how we see those colors, so they appear to be a different hue or brightness. I wonder how that factors into color schemes.

Pretty much this. At some point it becomes very difficult to modify the existing figure. There have been a few {that IDW Prime one, and another one that does a similar job in lengthening the legs}, but they haven't been to make it like Motormaster. and of course there's no way to make it like the original with cab legs.

I'm pretty interested to see how that IDW Menasor set comes out.
>>
>>5736502
I don't give a shit about making it more like the original robot mode, I hated that. I'm more interested in general improvements to lengthen the torso or give better hands and feet, then fold those up into a grey box with wheels on it that I can plug onto the conspicuous hole on the back of Motormaster's vehicle mode.
