I don't know if this has been posted before, but i've just come across a guy's profile on youtube. He's got pics in the background which show what looks like a new Shockwave. He claims that it's gonna be for the Universe/Classics 2.0 line. I've put the link here.

That's an unused Prototype from Titanium. Never went into production.

Most of us hope they mold will be used for Universe, but so far nothing has been said ab out it.

If you want a better look here's a colored version of that same mold:

(I took the same gray prototype, and added colors digitally)

That's a shame. I was hoping for a new Shockwave. Energon Shockblast is okay, but a new one would be sweet. Here's hoping they do include it in Universe.

I think if they were going to do it, that would work, but I think I want something a little bigger, and more detailed.

However, all the War Within Titaniums that were unproduced need to be done!

I thought Grimlock and Prowl were going to be the last two. Is that a no go now? Seems to be.

Lines dead...not even on hiatus like Alternators... :P

Still one can never put it past them to do something at some point. Don Figueroa has them in his collection the lucky bastitch! Then there is WW Bbee never released, and supposed to be repainted (remolded head) Cliffjumper. :-(

Hopefully they will use them, and since universe is a pretty broad title, they can call them Universe Battles and release them in 2 packs. Or universe WWI. for a sub line.

I'd like to see some of those molds released.

Ohh and for those who want to see them, here are WWI Bumblebee and Cliffjumper with the remolded head in full color:

They could charge £30 for a two-pack of those babies, and I'd still buy them.

If they did re-cast the WW Titaniums in plastic for re-release in Universe, Shockwave WOULD fit right in, since in WW he already had his G1 mode (yeah, yeah, I know Fig did a completely different design first, but that's not what made it into the comic).

And Skywarp. You know a line is hella dead when they don't release one more figure, and a repaint at that!

Sadly, they could always do a Classics Megs repaint/retool as Shockwave. It's a sad idea, but the Classics are do for more repaints if Hasbro stays true to form.
