So back in 1984, when I-Man and I were just wee little tots, we got a shitload of Transformers for Christmas, one of them being Shockwave (the purple gun thing). The young and impressionable I-Man thought to have Ironhide attack the Shockwave figure, and in the process knocked the Decepticon from a table some 15 inches to a carpeted floor. I guess Shockwave was defective, 'cause his head and at least one of his limbs came off. Anyway, mom returned him and we never saw a new one.

Then back in like '92 or '93 I found a Shockwave at a yardsale my scout troop was putting on. For fifty cents I got one that was in damn near mint condition except for a missing battery cover and a frayed rubber hose around the wires leading from his chest to his gun. Man, what a steal!

Dude! Being a moderator's no excuse to lie!

1. I found Shockwave at the yard sale.

2. Funny how you left out the part about you dropping Megatron off the balcony and gleefully watching him splinter to pieces on the hard floor twenty feet below -- not even diecast metal can take that much damage...
