Shockwave transforms into a Cybertronian tank. Very well done.Īlternate Mode: Shockwave goes one step further than Punch/Counterpunch in that he not only features two different robot modes, but also two different vehicle modes. So to sum up what I think of Shockwave's robot modes: Pretty darn impressive! I don't own Punch/Counterpunch, the original Transformers double spy, so I can't really compare the two, but Shockwave/Longarm has certainly taken me by storm. Apart from that, though, a very well-made secondary robot mode that looks quite a bit different than the primary one. It's visible when Longarm wears it on his back pointing up or down. The only slight drawback here is that the Decepticon logo on the tank turret/crane can't be hidden. Longarm can, of course, also use the tank gun as a weapon, but he's meant to wield it in crane mode (see below). Unlike Shockwave he's got a real face (sort of) and actual hands (though they can't hold anything). He has no neck to speak of and looks as if he's wearing a heavy helmet or something. Longarm is quite a bit shorter than Shockwave, but broader. Not so different that you can't still tell they're the same, but anyway. It takes but a few changes, but the resulting secondary robot mode looks quite different. So all in all a very good, very well-designed robot mode without any problems I can think of.Īs a spy Shockwave has a second robot mode. The joints are tight enough that he can hold it level without problem despite it being quite big. For a weapon Shockwave carries the turret of his tank mode, which can be fastened to either of his forearms. This very posable robot has clawed hands and each of the three finger-claws can be moved separately. His face features the single optic we've come to except from Shockwave, though the way it's put together makes it seem as if he has two eye slits below it.
Shockwave is very tall and thin, standing almost as tall as a Leader-class figure. His primary robot mode - the real him so to speak - is Shockwave, a Decepticon. Robot Mode: Shockwave is quite unique in that he has two different robot modes, one an Autobot and one a Decepticon, something only two other Transformers have had over the years. Not once did anyone suspect the bright, friendly Autobot known as Longarm of being a devious enemy spy. Graduating near the top of the class from the Autobot Academy, he moved through the ranks of the Elite Guard, eventually becoming head of the Intelligence Division. Able to change his voice, energy signature, and even his appearance at will, he has spent years infiltrating the Autobot power structure.
