Well I just learned about Shackwave - it's true something new everyday. Man, Hasbro and Selects are just killing the fan service It almost seems at this point we could get anything...

[Sabrblade]

From recent molds, that is.

WHAAAAAT? Is that supposed to be Shackwave?

Yup, its him.

I don't really have any attachment to him though and just judging the deco in a vaccum, its doing nothing for me due to all that grey plastic in alt mode.

[Stargrave]

It’s all drowned out other than nostalgia it just looks like a Nemesis Shockwave. Like his clone who must do his bidding. Or, of course, taste his wrath. With the red eye it makes me think of Energon Shockblast too.

Here is a rumour list of other upcoming releases in this line:

New Deluxe Homage will have
+Cybertron Hot Shot which is repaint of Hound but feature accurate headsculpt
+ G1 Toy color special package Refractor , this time came in a special package mimic a real world digital camera box set , have flashlight , lens and button pad to make camera mode super accurate to real life model. 3 robots also painted to be accurate to G1 Toy
+ Hasbro Pulse Nightbird , repaint of Chromia , with accurate new Headsculpt.
+ Deluxe Powerdasher , repaint of Brunt , with accurate new headsculpt.
+ Deluxe Decepticon Impactor which feature different paint deco compare to going to release Autobot Impactor.

New Micromaster 10-packs which are repaint from origignal released one but now both sides are in package.

New Leader homage:
+ Leader Shockwave in Galacticman Deco , full black shockwave.

I write it now because that full black shockwave rumour turned out to be true. Good news for fans who wanted a toy accurate reflector.

I have some attachment to him, since a Galactic Man currently fills in for Shockwave in my G1 collection. Also, I think the Galactic Man colors make a better G2 Shockwave than what Hasbro came up with for Combiner Wars G2 Bruticus.

Galactic man Shockwave!

That looks pretty damn cool.

Also, calling it now: We're getting a Selects Delta Magnus

So...both Lancer & Galactic Man will be available for purchase at SDCC. Hopefully these will eventually come to Pulse and other sites as standard releases, or are we going to have to relive nightmares of years past. Waiting like rabid animals for these *exclusives* to show up on HTS and hoping to be on at the right time, before they all sell out.

Well I just bought three Refraktors, so this is definitely going happen now
And I'm totally get it too

Why? Energon Shockblast had a green eye, toy and show. I think you're getting him confused with his redeco Six Shot:

Yes! Duh, total brain fart I got ‘em flipped.

Transformers G1 1986 Reflector Gallery

I'd love the toy inspired colors and accessories for Reflector, especially if the extra accessories make them look closer to the original toy

Fellow Seibertronaians! We now have something very unexpected but no less exciting! Straight off the heels of our last reveal, from the official Transformers Facebook page, not only do we now have an official reveal on the Transformers Generations Selects War For Cybertron: Siege Lancer (what a mouthful!), but also a reveal on the next exclusive coming out in the Selects line, that being Galactic Man Shockwave! A black and grey redeco of the Transformers War For Cybertron: Siege Leader Class Shockwave, this figure is an homage to the 1985 RadioShack exclusive "Galactic Man" figure, referred to as "Shackwave" by the fans, which was a rerelease of the Korean ToyCo "Astro Magnum" out in the States. We have mirrored the reveal picture for your convenience.




This figure, along with Selects Lancer, will be shown off next week at SDCC. As of now, we do not know any information on the price or release date of this figure, but we will keep you posted on any updates.

Will you be getting this radical redeco? Or is this reveal something you weren't looking forward to? Tell us in the discussion below.

I read it as them being on display at SDCC, not sold there.

Shackwave is back! The absolute mad men!

Of all redecoes, Shackwave/Galactic Man is the one I expected the least to ever see.

What redeco of shockwave would have made more sense to you?

[ZeroWolf]

Honestly? Shockblast from Energon, Action Master Shockwave, Shattered Glass, G1 toy Shockwave with translucent hands...

Although, out of all of those deco options, Astro Magnum was the best to go with, and the one I wanted most

I meant redeco in general. Honestly thought the Siege Shockwave mold would not see use as-is but rather retooled with a new head (and maybe a new hand) as someone else. But, even then I'm not sure what. Shockwaves are hard to redeco.

[ZeldaTheSwordsman]

Well, there's Energon Six Shot as inspiration.
Action Master Shockwave was probably deemed too similar.

I love thd name they're going with for ShackWave, Galatic Man... I need a backstory for this hasbro!

That was "Shackwave"'s official name
