I thought his eye was yellow on the purple version? It's not?

Nope, still red. I suppose it would be easy enough to just paint it yellow though.

So, are the Autobots and Decepticons really stupid in Transformers Animated? I mean, the robot mode disguises are pretty good, but there's no fooling anyone with those alt-modes.

I'm guessing until Blurr saw it, very few if any autobots had seen Shockwaves altmode?

"Is that the same tank that was attacking the Energon repository last week?"

 

"Uh, no, duh. It has a hook on the end of the barrel and slightly canted treads, it's clearly a crane..."

I'm guessing until Blurr saw it, very few if any autobots had seen Shockwaves altmode?

Plus there's a good chance several TFs, Autobots AND Decepticons, have the same alt mode.

 

I'd think that--as a spy--that perhaps no Autobot has seen Shock's alt mode and lived to tell the tale. His alt mode is probably very much a one-in-a-million custom design, as his alter-ego is based on an actual Autobot from their own historical database that very likely used the crane as his alt mode. It would not take Shock much imagination--or resources--to convert the crane into a mobile artillery piece.

 

I already miss Blurr.

FINALLY found him today, pretty pleased. His legs are a little wobbly and the Longarm mode is pretty much just for standing around and looking pretty but he looks badass in Shockwave mode. My only question is why do the sections that his two seperate fingers attach to pivot backward? They don't appear to serve any specific purpose in any mode other than giving Longarm's hands a little more room to breathe...

Glad you found him...
