Did you like the FoC Shockwave? Same mold, redeco and new head. Looks pretty cool if you ask me, especially considering this cool reddish-goldish palette they chose. Alt mode looks just like Shockwave, and hey, so does the bot mode when you get down to it, but it's a good redeco of an already strong mold. Go for it.

Unlike the Generations Shockwave that shares this mold, Air Raid seems more like a proper Deluxe figure (except for the size). The retooling done to the chest, the look of the new head, and the bright, colorful paint apps almost make this look like a completely different figure. The redesigned gun and the added sword (which combine!) make this figure look very fierce.

A retool and repaint of Shockwave in this series, Air Raid does have enough uniqueness to stand on his own.
Robot mode is just as poseable and the colour scheme works well for me.
Alt mode bears a resemblance to Shockwave, but the extra weapons and alterations offer enough variation to distinguish the two figures.

The main problem of the toy is the weapons and finding what to do with them and the fact that this shouldnt be air-raid. The colors and the head are great as well as the swords and id recommend them only to people who have to have it

Great figure. The redeco looks better then the original to me.

The extra weapons are making up for the lack of size.

Paint aps are great.
