Continuing our series of custom Revoltech Transformers characters, here we go with Shockwave, the quiet Decepticon strategist. \u00a0You don’t know who’s side he’s on…. besides his own. \u00a0Despite the order that I’ve presented them in, this figure was my very first custom toy of any kind (if you don’t count disassembling and rearranging GIJoe figures at age eleven).<\/p>\n
