My biggest problem was some of the limbs tended to pop off their posts very easily, sometimes 'boing'ing out quite a ways when the springs snapped shut. But cracks also tended to appear around ball joints, especially with the Minicons. I assumed it was a clear-plastic thing for them.

The only one I remember having trouble with was Smolder. One of the knee attachment joints just pulled apart with little resistance. Still works fine as a standalone figure, but can't combine anymore.
Maybe he is actually all of the Primes but each of them a different Shockwave that went back in time from a different universe and they all pretended to be a Prime to avoid being discovered? Thou apart of my headcannon for Shockwave is that he invents a time machine and also is able to clone himself, so when Unicron attacked Cybertron in the G1 movie, it was just one of his clones that died, the original carries on living, outside of time, watching everything unfold as the clones have recording devices that enable him to see everything that they had expirenced until that point when they die! If you wonder why he doing this, is simple, he is a seeker of knowledge and he has been infilencing various universes as apart of his experiments, he completely unchecked and unbound by the normal rules of other scieniests, he is almost immortal within this bubble that enables him to mess around with the Universes at will, the only reason Alpha & Vector don't go after him, is because he is apart of a Primus's will, he is seeding many universes with life or knowledge, so in his lust for knowledge, he pretty much becomes a tool for Primus without knowing he is a tool as he has lost all normal reason and common sense!
And each time hoping the next leap will be the leap home.
"...Are there any other Shockwaves that I should know about?"
Blurred figure: "No, nothing to see here..."
I think you meant, "Meow."
I think it would be great if Nexus Prime was a full-sized Combiner comprised of repaints/remolds of:
- Onslaught
- Brawl
- Air Raid
- Blades
- ...here is where I should put another Aerialbot or Combaticon, but let's make it interesting and say Drag Strip.
In red and blue colors across all of them, of course.

Oh, many have tried to get Paramount to pay Larry Niven and bring the Kzin back, but that's another thread's business.
That said, "The Sponsor" being Shockwave would make a good hook to another ST/Transformers crossover -- maybe involving Lower Decks, as the first one invoked TAS specifically?
Technically the Kzinti did show back up, but only on Lower Decks so far.Oh, many have tried to get Paramount to pay Larry Niven and bring the Kzin back, but that's another thread's business.

I vaguely recall an interesting fanfic back in the day for a ST/TF thing too, which involved Swindle ending up on DS9.
Meanwhile, in SpaceBallsXTransformers: The Search For Merchandising Tie Ins:
Megatron: "How many Shockwaves are ON this ship?!"
Every Deception and also every captured Autobot prisoner on the bridge all take their masks off : "Yo!"
Megatron: "I knew it, I'm surrounded by Shockwaves..."

Megatron: "I knew it, I'm surrounded by Shockwaves..."
"Keep firing, Shockwaves!"
Starscream "Shockwaves, excute order, overthrow!!"
Shockwaves "By your command!!"
Starscream laughs until a beam goes through his spark chamber "What the?"
Megs "Ah, what a fool you are, you should of considered combing the desert instead of issuing that useless order!!"
Yeah I love their aesthetic, almost Gundam-y
And I just got the shipping notification for my last batch of AOP pre-orders! Micronus, onyx and the other guy should arrive soon!
Watch the other guy end up being your favorite.
Meh, I already got one of them. His younger self isn't necessarily going to wow me.
Be pleased as punch if it did, but I am not expecting that.
Edit: And the earthspark era in my displays is over. Despite only recently getting hashtag: I've bagged and binned them to make a better space for my incoming primes. And spread out my Gijoe crossover figs. I still want some more joe and cobra figures to fill out the human contigents (and moba prime... but I doubt we'll ever get him.). Kinda of a bitter sweet moment as I do enjoy futzing with my displays: but I was so all in one the earthspark stuff for a hot minute only to be ultimately disappointed with them in the end. Glad I didn't spend overly much on them.

Much to my amazement, I found an AotP Alpha Trion at a Wal-Mart today. It's a miracle!
