Transformers Toys Legacy Evolution Voyager Senator Shockwave & Deluxe Data Clerk Orion Pax Humble Origins 2-Pack, Action Figures for Boys and Girls Ages 8 and Up (Amazon Exclusive)

We love it

Great 2pk look good with my collection

(For those who don't know, due to an error, Amazon listed for preorder the two Transformers figure-packs based on IDW comic designs backwards and shipped them as such, so listings for one set delivered the opposite (order Orion Pax/Shockwave set, get Megatron/Ratbat set; and vice-versa), eventually Amazon changed the pictures and text of each listing. I got the wrong set from what I was expecting and after asking Amazon took care of my issue, but at launch there's a lot of frustrating confusion that should get evened out over time.)Both figures in this Humble Origins set are partial remolds of War for Cybertron: Siege figures, Orion Pax from deluxe-class Hound and Senator Shockwave from voyager-class Starscream, fitting since those were also Cybertronian modes.Orion Pax isn't exactly his IDW self, the figure is a deluxe-sized one who's described here as a data clerk like in Aligned when IDW had Orion as a beefy cop; the axe and face are taken from previous iterations, none of it is the G1 cartoon Orion Pax obviously, but overall it isn't a bad take on the character. Vehicle mode has odd proportions and is a little sloppy holding together, but has some charm, rolls nicely, and can store the weapons, Hound's rifle and ammo drum, plus a new axe head and handle. Robot mode has nice new sculpting to convey a "younger" Optimus before the growth spurt, decent paint to go with it, everything feels fairly solid. The axe comes in two parts and connects in a non-standard 6mm peg so the head can't be added to other weapons as easily, though it has a 3mm hole inside to attach to blast effects pegs like the one on the tip of Pax's rifle.Senator Shockwave is a mix of different IDW looks, this is the character before he was mutilated into becoming the G1 character. The sinister Cybertronian Starscream mold this was modified from makes some sense from the comics with the shoulder tower design, but the overall proportions don't fit this more heroic version of the character. Robot mode sports a new head, chest, crotch, and hinged winglets inspired by the comic design; plus different backpack wings that seem to be an all-new invention. The great articulation is still present for all the pontificating poses you can come up with. The colors are inspired by Ultra Magnus, for my tastes there's not enough red in the torso to feel like IDW's Shockwave.What brings Senator Shockwave down in my eyes is the vehicle mode, taking the Siege tetrajet design and exchanging the wings with large thruster engines, adding little winglets to the bottom of the craft. This now goes from a long sleek nose to a very bricky rear half that doesn't say what kind of vehicle it is, it's just a visual mess that could have worked a lot better simply by adding extra 5mm holes to let the winglets plug in higher. It's a solid toy though, and the new robot chest doesn't look quite as obvious on the back as the Seeker's did.

The perfect gift for a hardcore IDW transformers fan.

The quality control on these makes me very happy, both are nice and tight, nothing is loose whatsoever or even close, Orion Pax on mine is so tight he can hold up figures much heavier than him on his own if he doesn't fall over from being top-heavy, he will Fall before something moves his arms or legs. Same with senator Shockwave, they are rock solid. Very happy with these two.

Lo compre sin mucha fe, solo por senador Shockwave pero tenerlos en mi mano es otro nivel! Tanto de Optimus como Shockwave Realmente el plástico se siente muy bien! Son divertidos de transformar y los detalles en Shockwave son increibles, tiene buena pintura, articulación y pese a que tiene una gran mochila por alguna razón no me molesta, no tiene espacios vacíos en las extremidades y es muy genial, Shockwave no tiene armas pero vamos... su arma principal son sus palabras 😭💖En fin, si eres fan de los cómics los recomiendo

Pax looks like the design I like most, and shockwave originating as a politician makes sense

The toys are amazing. Love them. But when I ordered them they were supposed to be deliver overnight. Then they were late. No problem. But then they were late again...and again. Took almost a week and half before they were finally delivered. No apology. No discount. Not even an email or text. This is what happens when a business becomes so big that they just don't care anymore.
