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 Leader Class 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.

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.

Well, there's Energon Six Shot as inspiration.
Action Master Shockwave was probably deemed too similar.
That was "Shackwave"'s official name

He never transformed, so the tank mode can be easily nixed and replaced with a ship mode.

It matters to me. I get that your idea is "Do a Cryotek redeco of Shockwave because his 'Theft of the Golden Disk' body was based on a Shovkwave analogue", but it falls apart for me because the more G1 SIEGE Shockwave doesn't really have any of the same features as Energon Shockblast except for he chest and head (and the latter would be replaced). Especially not the huge arm cannon (unless he can be configured with one?), which is probably why Shockblast was chosen in the first place since it makes for a parallel to his beast body's dragon head arm:
For me, that takes away any reason to do a potential Cryotek redeco of Shockwave specifically.
Eh. Not really, not with this one - he hasn't got the stretchy arms or a crane, so what meaning does the name have?

In all honesty, if Hasbro or anybody really were to make a pre-beast Cryotek out of any Shockwave toy, I'd want it to be from the Prime Beast Hunters Shockwave, as that is a much better toy than Energon Shockblast was, and still has the big cannon right arm.
Certainly a better choice than Beast Wars: Uprising Cryotek having been a new-headed redeco of Prime Robots in Disguise Voyager Bulkhead. Lolwut?

Nice on the shockwave, always did like the astro magnum toy. Maybe Omega will get his grandstand convertors repaint 
Shockwaves price is not going to be worth it though, as the retail version is overpriced at £47 and a selects repaint with a probable price range of £60-£75 is forget it.

Neat that they revisited Shackwave, but I can easily skip.
Don’t have the other female Autobots, so I can skip Lancer.
Selects is looking sharp. Looks like they’re trying to fill in the void TFCC made when FunPub lost the license. I’m okay with this.

With Galactic Man Shockwave coming out, a recent list of rumours has just been made a bit more credible.
So, while nothing should be taken as fact until we have solid proof, here is a round up of upcoming redeco'd toys from the Siege line that are rumoured to come out. The initial post for this rumour also states that these are a exclusives of some sort, akin to every other redeco exclusive we are seeing in the Siege line.
List of Deluxe redeco toys:
- Cybertron Hot Shot which is repaint of Hound but features accurate headsculpt (the photo below is a digibash by Air Hammer)
- G1 Toy color special package Refractor , this time came in a special package mimic a real world digital camera box set. Has extra accessories like a flash, a lens and button pad to make camera mode super accurate to real life model. 3 robots will sport a toy deco. This rumour is in line with an image of the camera mode found on Refactor's packaging
- Nightbird , repaint of Chromia , with new headsculpt
- Powerdasher , repaint of Brunt , with new headsculpt
- Decepticon Impactor which feature different deco compared to the retail autobot release
New Micromaster 10-packs which are all redecos of the ones already found at retail
Leader Shockwave in Galacticman Deco , full black shockwave (thius rumour was spread online earlier this week and we now know this particular part to be true)

It would be nice to get a maroon-ish Impactor, like he was in the Marvel comics. Or maybe with the desaturated colors of IDW. The latter don’t really seem ‘Decepticon’ though.

That was the official name of the Astro Magnum redeco sold at Radio Shack.
1. The purple comes from the Marvel comics. It may have looked maroon on some copies depending on print quality (especially in US prints because the US comics were relegated to the low-end printing equipment) or age of the paper, but purple is the correct color.
2. What makes the desaturated presentation from the IDW comics not look Decepticon to you?

Both statements were too vague for me to include in a post I would front page. Good for discussion though.

And a vague rumor about another Leader class mold who turns into an armored car.

There's also a vague rumor about next year's Titan and Commander class figures. The Titan is to be one that is "expected", while the Commander is, bizarrely, described as being one that will be complementary to Titan class Omega Supreme.Hellscream9999 wrote:Sabrblade wrote:There are even more rumors as well, such as the three Rainmakers (Ion Storm, Nova Storm, and Acid Storm) from Siege Starscream, and some vague notion of more Wreckers coming.

This is correct, the same source described the Rainmakers three pack as the following.

This is correct, the same source described the Rainmakers three pack as the following.
Ion storm has lighter and more saturated blue than Thundercracker.
Unlike the animation model , all 3 have white paint at the front waist piece
Has Gunmetal chest thruster and black thruster feet as usual
Not as much diverse paint as redwing but all the mold detail still pops

Titan Scorponok, has to be.
I just want a Commander-class Tidal Wave in animation accurate colors, is that too much to ask for?
Leader class armored car? Could be another Sentinel Prime maybe? Otherwise I’ve no idea.

For sure, but then I'm going to have three extra bots I don't really want.
Best case, Hasbro Pulse starts releasing accessory packs, like these parts or the Battle Masters blast effects.

This is all great news! Because as everyone knows - if there's anything Transformers needs, it's more repaints!

The Galactic Man news took me on a mini emotional roller-coaster. I was massively excited about it until I realized it's not MP scale.
The Siege voyager+kibble=leader scale one is fine, it's just not the one I've wanted since MP Shockwave came out. Also, I doubt I'm going to be willing to shell out the premium version of leader class price for what I regard as a voyager class toy.

It's a repaint line, what do you expect? Its no different than the TFCC, aside from this being cheaper and more accessible.
