Today i was looking through the classics line and relized that there is no mention of shockwave or for titanium as well. Shockwave has and is one of my favorite characters and i was just wonderin if anyone knew if a new shockwave toy was coming out.

Been no news that I have heard. I agree that he should be given the Classic or Titanium treatment.

Nothing's in the works for a new Shockwave toy as far as I know. If you definetely need a Classics Shockwave, Energon Shockwave fills that spot nicely. He may even be a candidate for Titanium since his vehicle mode is based on early WWI sketches and only the Titanium line has WWI toys.

And welcome to Seibertron's Energon. Stay away from the distilled Nucleon, that's way too strong. ;)

There is a Robot Heroes Shockwave coming out in the summer. It is a small PVC figure.

Well the Classics Line is going on hiatus, while the movie line takes over. So no new molds will be appearing at least for the remainder of the year if in fact Hasbro decides to continue with the Classics Line.

The last Classics figure due out is Classics Devastator, a recolor of Energon Constructicon Maximus, which seems have been delayed in its release.

Energon was Shockblast. Why not Shockwave? I thought I heard there was a copywrite issue, which might explain who has been done in Classics and what names have been reused in the other lines.

I'd love to see a Classics or Titanium Shockwave. I think a G1 version could be real easy.

*Dammit Jelze, you stole the words outta my mouth*

I would spring for a MP Shockwave if they would just make one. And unlike Megatron, he wouldn't need a cap because he's not a realistic looking gun. It would be even better if his arm lit up. If only there was a Classics Shockwave...............

I wouldn't be so sure about the orange cap thing. Look at Classics Megatron...

He would still require an orange cap, but it wouldn't be nearly so disruptive to the figure's aesthetic.

Action Master Shockwave had an orange cap, and he didn't even transform.

Yeah he's a freaking Nerf gun, and doesn't look like a laser, with orange caps everywhere?? WTF!! It's like someone was overly cautious about kids running around with a Nerf transformer and getting shot.. what about the laser tags, the paint ballers, the actual Nerf guns, or Star trek phasers, the blasters from star wars.. ect,, ect,, there wasn't any orange caps on most of those..

well...... there is a Cyclops figure coming out in the movie line. I would assume that is the movie equivilant of Shockwave.

I would be psyched if they did Hearts of Steel. Shockwave as a battleship...

Shockwave in the Voyager class for like $20 and NOT looking like a Nerf gun would be awesome. However...not happening.

However, MP-05 Baby!! (Prays hard!)

Only ones I know about are about 15 or more years old. A little before the overreaction madness. I can't speak to today's...
the paint ballers,

This is a good argument. Many paintball guns look very realistic. However, isn't there some age restriction on purchasing paintball supplies? Plus, it's not a toy, it's a sport.....Okay, I couldn't say that with a straight face :P
the actual Nerf guns,

I thought Nerf guns were all wild colors
or Star trek phasers,

Again, I believe these predate the madness
the blasters from star wars..

The two blasters I have from the recen't crud....er...Trilogy are either 100% orange (hand blaster, Solo style) or black with bright reddish/orange tip (battle droid blaster).
ect,, ect,, there wasn't any orange caps on most of those..

I'll have to check the next time I'm at Toys R Us and see what they have for gun like objects.

Shockwave ... could really be a dream ... but if they would make a classic shockblast i am nearly 90% sure about that it would be an Energon Shockblast redecolor =/

The only Cyclops listing I recall was one I personally accidentally attributed to the movie line, from the Wal-Mart online listings, when it was actually a Hasbro ML.

I was just at Toys R Us yesterday. It looked to me that every "gun" sold there is either painted bright colors or has a bright orange/red cap or both.
