This one has no knee joints, right?I've been using this guy as a stand in for too long:
I was regretting passing on the Siege version for a time, so I'll probably get this new one.

Not positive. It has very limited movement. I think they may bend, but not twist. If nobody answers before I leave work (and I remember) I can check it out.
EDIT: I may have that backwards judging by the picture. LOL!
I remember these simpler TFs showing up at places like Walgreens. They were like $10 tops and had minimal moving parts. Some were OK, I remember Jetfire being decent. But I think I had Shockwave too, as a stand in, but gave up on him pretty quickly since he didn't have knees (from what I remember). Sculpt was nice! But basic joints missing? That's for babies!

I know it's a cash grab, but this made me chuckle.

At first glance, I thought Shockwave was a straight repaint. Thanks for the photos showing how he is retooled. I agree that I would like to see him with a bit more mass and height. It’s not that I have a problem with the Siege figure, it’s just that Optimus and Megatron are getting bigger figures and now Shockwave won’t look right with them. There are enough changes to this Shockwave that I want to get him.
Very cool to get Kranix!
Not sure if Astrotrain is an upgrade?

Seeing more pics of these, Astrotrain looks like a mess. It’s crazy that the locomotive mode seems to be the most sleek. The shuttle still looks incomplete and the robot mode has seemingly more kibble.
Shockwave has less greeblies, but also no battle damage silver paint. Siege was trying that out, but it didn’t last at all, and now I want every figure that got that scuffed silver paint to get a clean redo.

Always thought the bettle
Damage was just poorly done.
I don’t hate the idea really but it looked really

I'm waffling on Astrotrain. The shuttle mode is fairly animation accurate, but the legs are rough.
