Site sponsor Kapow Toys has supplied us with images of an upcoming Transformers Dark of the Moon Voyager Shockwave repaint. We only have vehicle mode images for the moment, but as you can see the figure is giving off a very Galvatron-ish vibe. Take a look at the images mirrored below from Kapow Toys.

I'm guessing this is suppose to go with a more movie accurate presentation since he did have a hint of purple, but still looked silver overall.

the purple seems to pop more.
I dont have shockwave yet, so I'll need to see a robot mode pic before I decide to pick up the current one, or wait for this guy.

Well hasbro painting him like Megatron saves me alot of time and effort, all i need to do is buy this repaint then find a Megatron head to use to finally have a real movie Megatron. It does look a little more like Galvatron but theres a good balance of gray & purple so it could be use as either, plus the original shockwave figure would be better for galvatron anyway.

well, yes, this too. I'm curious as to what this new paintjob implies...

This is one of the few times I like the repaint less than the original. My first thought was also Galvatron, but I think he would need a new head. Could this be a Radio Shackwave homage?

The more I look at it, it might also be a prototype :-?

There's too much detailing for it to be a prototype. Notice the little gold details and such.

I think that's the least likely of the two.

when i opened the home page, the text loaded first, and I read "Transformers DOTM Voyager Shockwave Repaint" and got really excited, then the images loaded, aaaaaand no longer excited. looks like RID Galvatron's brother who was dropped as a baby.

Thu Jul 14, 2011 2:36 pm

man if they would just slap a galvatron head on this thing.......even a 3rd party.....i'll buy it

Thu Jul 14, 2011 3:04 pm

*barf*

looks bad...

I would be intersted if it was Galvatron and had a new head, but it looks like that's not the case. Pass.

News Credits: 20 · Thu Jul 14, 2011 3:09 pm

For some reason I'm thinking of Beast Wars Megatron when I see this. If it wasn't for the Shockwave head stuck in there.

News Credits: 1 · Thu Jul 14, 2011 3:18 pm

Shackwave was the first thing that came to my mind, but I guess Sixshot might also be a possibility.Either way, the original colors are better.

Did they overstock on static grey paint? That color has a hideous reputation in this toy line. Even if he is meant to be 'movie-accurate', it should be silver, not grey!

News Credits: 22 · Thu Jul 14, 2011 3:25 pm

I like the purple just the way it is.

I prefer dark gray with a silver drybrushing, but that would cost too much.

Oh, if they did that kind of detailing in this line, it would have been epic.

Not sure how I feel about this yet, I'm going to wait until I see a robot mode first.
