Wow, shockwave looks a lot better in his original color scheme.

Now I'm torn. I really like Animated Shockwave's color scheme because it's so much like Nemesis Prime's, but I really like this one too. And I've been considering getting that Bumblebee so that he'd be pretty size accurate, and now I could get both in one shot, but I'm not sure what to do...

TPR I say you should get the TV show colors. Thats what i'm gonna do. i like the color schemem on him but not with this molds.

And hasbro is gonna make a butt load of money from me with all the different colored seakers they have i gotta get the whole set.

I think I will stick to the originals

I'm only gonna get Sunstorm (unless he gets released alone without the Actvator Ratchet, which I don't want). at last, the Sycophant clone has a name! But why does he have so much red in jet mode?

This Shockwave doesn't look so good in these colors. It just doesn't look right. Had his body been more G1-like (like Energon Shockblast did), then I might reconsider. But for now, I'll get regular one.

Plus, I've already got Activators Bumblebee, so this inclusion of him also turns me off this set.

man...i just bought the gray colored shockwave like an hour ago and already opened him...could return him and say he was defective...naw...

Hey, for recolors? There are NO complaints from me here! LOVE'm!

Hey, is everybody diggin' the gallery functionality? Does everyone understand that after you click the thumbnail, it brings you to a medium sized image. Then to see full it in full size, you click the "Large" text link at the top? ... Just makin' sure!

Okay, I am SOOOO getting these!!!

I mean, first Animated Shackwave gets his original voice actor, and now a few months later he gets his original color scheme. Very fitting!

Can I get our opinions on this: I honestly think that an even better voice actor for Sunstorm (this incarnation) would be great if it was Gilbert Gottfried. The voice fits perfectly! If he can do a good Mr. Mxyzptlk, he can do a suck-up Sunstorm.

im buying both of them

Saweet! I can hardly believe I'm saying this, but "I'm really pumped for these recolors!" Wow, Thank you Target Exclusives. They look great!

I can't tell if some of the above posts are sarcastic or not.

I think the Animated Voyager Starscream mold is flawed but still worth buying in that color - especially if they've corrected the production errors and bad quality issues that show up so much in Skywarp.

shockwave is awesome and so is sunstorm. if animated was a little more true to g1 looks, it would be alot more popular.

Is shockwaves neck really supposed to extend that much? mine doesnt seem to do that.
