Full Metal Hero member Luffy made an interesting discovery in the pages of a recent Testco catalog, another possible Transformers DOTM Voyager Shockwave repaint. The scan shows Shockwave in an unusual purple and green deco that some have speculated as a catalog coloring error or possibly a lighting issue. Check out the catalog scan below.

Maybe it's an homage to Energon Shockblast/Sixshot?

Not that that would compel me to buy it, but Shockblast/Laserwave is one of the few things I look back on fondly in the Energon cartoon. I mean, how many TFs were so badass that it took Unicron punching them into the surface of a planet to finally snuff them?

I dont know what they were going for, but it doesn't work for me.

OOOORRRR, ease off the repaints and make new figures? Maybe it's too early for new figures. I have much higher hopes for a subsequent movie toyline, like HFTD. Man there was pure awesomeness out of that line! I'm hoping for a repeat!

Eh Close enough [DECEASED] Speaking of the leader any more word on those

by **xtsaur** » Thu Aug 25, 2011 2:15 pm

Sweet I heard they were gonna make a new Devastator team... this must be the chest piece. [insert tsaurcasm].

Random question: how can the cyberverse blackout be more screen accurate than the movie 1 voyager? Dear Hasbro please take my money and make a leaderclass version.

Has anyone looked at the S.P. under it? it looks different, lighting as it may be, but the face looks darker and the shoulders are darker. but really, all of these Shockwave repaints are just too ugly to be taken seriously. The first was good enough.....now lets see some leader class pictures so we can stop dry heaving over these repaints >:oP

Seems like Hasbro has gone repaint crazy.

You may been on to something here...

Okay wait, a Skullcruncher repaint, and then partially translucent redeco, and now a Shockblast homage???

either way, it's awful

I don't think lighting could explain that green color. If it's not accurate, then it's a printing error, not a lighting issue. I think it's probably accurate. They're probably going for some sort of G1/Devastator homage.
