Of course not. PRID is already over. The only thing left from that line to be released is Skyquake, whom I fear will be cancelled. We're going into Beast Hunters now.

And, if what you're saying is true, then why not release a Prime Shockwave in later waves of Beast Hunters?

Why not indeed? I'm sure when the last of the FOC Shockwaves has vanished from shelves they'll be happy to produce another version. And I'm calling it PRID more out of habit than anything else.

Personally though I don't feel the NEED for a new Shockwave at this point. FOC works perfectly well as a Classics-verse Shockie and I don't feel a Prime figure would have much to add.

Whatever the case I hope a voyager Shockwave is eventually released. Hasbro missed an opportunity for a DOTM Leader shockwave and I hope they don't with this version.

Also, is it confirmed that there will only be one more season? It seems like they could make this show last much longer than that. This is now my favorite transformers "universe;" I think it would be a shame to cut it off so soon.

Well, we have both a Prime and FoC Soundwave (+ Laserbeak) and Starscream, so Shockwave getting a Prime figure probably wouldn't be totally out of the picture. Granted the two Soundwaves, Laserbeaks, and Starscreams are very different from each other, while the Shockwaves are fairly similar.

Though Soundwave and Starscreams are both A-listers, and there's a gap between Starscream releases, and Soundwave is getting the benefit of being a major player in a game and a cartoon at the same time in two different bodies.
