The Transformers 40th Anniversary may have beGUN back in the War For Cybertron SIEGE line as the series brought us many updates to G1 characters.
With the reveal of the Comic Edition Shockwave, we can see they have remade the SIEGE mold into a more classic looking figure with the Head of Optimus Prime as seen in the G1 comics (shown above). Check out more stock images of the figure along with product details below.
Retail Price: $39.99 USD
Ruled by logic, if it is more logical for Shockwave to override Megatron and seize command of the Decepticons, he will take that chance.
Inspired by the original The TRANSFORMERS comic book series, this 7-inch Shockwave action figure converts from robot to Cybertronian spaceship mode in 15 steps. With comic-accurate deco and black line hatching details, Shockwave looks like it came out of a comic book, celebrating 40 years since TRANSFORMERS robots made their comic debut in 1984.
Features articulated heads, arms, and legs for action poses and comes with the head of Optimus Prime piece that can be placed on the included display stand (display stand assembly required).
Optimus Prime please! (and maybe a Bumblebee too!)
This is probably one of Hasbro's best ideas that they have ever had. The figure and it's comic, together! Genius! No doubt I will be picking these up, and I hope they decide to continue this line. This is Amazing.
