Looks like Shockwave is working for The Joker now.

Kinda reminds me of Shockblast from Energon.

:twisted:

Maybe he's one of the guys on the left? :lol:

He only has two molds and two repaints, do you really think that compares to "Bimblebee"?

That had better be a printing error.

This is most likely an editing error, but ya never know. It would be cool if it were glow in the dark.

Looks pretty gross. Suffice to say if it's a real product, I'm not getting it. :lol:

Rather than flip through four pages at the moment; Energon tribute?

Seeing as all of the green parts on that and only the green parts on it are the grey parts on the actual Shockwave toy, I'm thinking this is a victim of either terrible photography/lighting or an epic Photoshop fail. I don't know why they'd do a repaint like that, especially since there have been two other possible repaints we've seen (the Galvatron-like one and the one with translucent parts).

dear hasbro, insted of repaints how about you release the generations/2010/RTS line in massachusettes. we went right from ROTF (seriously, we still have mudflap and jolt) to DOTM, and I missed out on SO FREAKIN MUCH. i want my lugnut :sad:

shockwave ate some energon that was infected with the joker's laughing gas, and this is the result

why so serious?

How the heck does a printing/editing error turn gray into bright green and not affect anything else?

by **ausbot** » Thu Aug 25, 2011 4:21 pm

I like it, that is if is ment to be an homage to the generic Shockwave's.

by **Autobot Megatron** » Thu Aug 25, 2011 4:28 pm

There's still quite a bit of grey parts on him still. Would that trump the miscolor theory?
Either way, he's ugly. If it's a repaint, no one will ever buy it. If it's a miscolor, it's going to make no one want to buy him. Poor Shocky, first you get a drone-ish role in DOTM, and now this? I almost want to buy this to apologize to him.

(< This should be a tounge face thing, but I guess there's a slight glitch.)

Dude, a Goosebumps edition Shockwave would not be cool! :lol:

Shockwave...smash?

by **BOBZILLA** » Thu Aug 25, 2011 5:40 pm

Past:
Dinosaurs - mostly grey lizards (PS, there were no flying, or sea dinosaurs, THEY ARE REPTILES!!!)
movie Transformers toys- mostly grey robots
Present:
Dinosaurs - feathers, maybe warm-blooded, and colorful
movie Transformers toys- colorful???

#-o

Why are Transformers getting colorful like dinosaurs? I mean, birds are colorful, so Dinosaurs, THERAPODS ONLY, must have been colorful, but Transformers??? I just think the color combinations people put toghether for them is odd. Probably a pass if this is even released in the US, still an interesting figure. Also i'm not against the color combos, it's just interesting how they are becoming so colorful, wonder who thought of that :-?

Poor Shockwave, it's like they're bleeding him dry for colorscheme tests. :roll:

Sorry brohamski, but that's bs. What I've learned in my years is no matter the forum-opinion of a repaint, no matter preference, if it's THERE there's fans that WILL buy it. Period.

I suppose I see the comparison, but dude, do you remember G2? European Action Masters? I mean, there are hundreds of overly bright Transformers out there! :lol:

Does this include old ROTF Tuner Mudflaps that are still piled up at my Wal-Marts discount shelf? :lol:

Mudflap and Skids are two shelfwarming shitstains and don't count.

Reminds me of the first time I puked on Bourbon Street. A personified form of Hand Grenades and King Cake. Might get him and paint the grey yellow to have a Mardi Gras Shockwave. It'll be the third one they'll sell.

I happen to really like this Scorpinokwave. Bring it on I say!

by **Mizuno** » Thu Aug 25, 2011 9:32 pm

hmm don't like him.... green doesn suit shockwave IMHO

hhhhmmm tesco?

and its actually the same shockwave toy

in my DOTM game theres an ad for dotm toys and shockwave is colored just like that lol
even prime and bumblebee seem to have there colors brightened a lil

but if it turns out it is a repaint then it looks like were not getting a leader shockwave(maybe)
but i wouldnt hope on it

and if it is really a repaint.........then i lost all hope in the dotm line lol
