Hey everyone couple more quick questions for the TF gurus.

First, what line are the Spy Changers part of? I found them at Family Dollar in Universe packaging, but I think they're repacked, and I can't find any galleries for them here. For $2 each I can grab a few of these.

And secondly, are there any plans for a Movie Shockwave ala the new Transformers videogame? He looks really cool in the game and it would be a shame if we didn't get one, but got other game characters like Dropkick, Swerve, etc.

G1 themed spychangers were created for universe.


Shockwave has not been announced for the toyline.

1) The first 6 G1 Spychangers weren't part of any line, the original packaging just used the Transformers logo with no subtitling. Mirage, Autobot Camshaft and the second Hoist were originally part of the RiD line, as KB exclusives.

2) Not at the moment no. One can always hope for the second movie though

The original Spychangers were from the Robots in Disguise line, and were repainted as G1 characters for Universe. Of course, the Spychangers themselves were repainted from two lines of G1.5 Gobots...

Which characters is it that you've found? The RiD ones were Crosswise, Hot Shot, Ironhide, Mirage, REV, and WARS, followed by Daytonus, Prowl 2, Side Burn, Side Swipe, X-Brawn, Optimus Prime, Ultra Magnus and Scourge.

Prime and Magnus got ridiculous repaints in Universe, as well as Prowl's Red Alert version.

And then there are the G1 repaints, which I think were also Universe, of Prime, Jazz, Wheeljack, Ironhide (or Trailbreaker), Hoist, Prowl, and Silverstreak.

The Wheeljack Spychanger is great. I love that little guy.

Thats alot of linkies Ramrider!

Hopefully the Collectors Club won't release more variants of these guys, there are enough already!

I found the G1 repaints. There pretty cool and inexpensive so I might as well snag a few of them.

You're not kidding; took ages to rig them all, but I like to be thorough...

Quite so. 2 waves of 6 Go-Bots each (original characters, then G1 repaints), then repaints of Blowout and Firecracker for Megatron and Prime, 14 RiD Spychangers, 3 Universe repaints, and 7 Universe G1 repaints. And Nightracer.

I think that's it...

hmmm, yeah, trying to remember, shockwave was in the game for the x-box 360 hasbro! no shockwave figure? and he's even a triple changer!!!!

I still have not played the game, or seen clear pics of Shockwave. But I would be interested if they do manage a release to tie in with the second film.
