In new assortments the toy now sports an Autobot symbol on his left shoulder. The symbol is silver on a white background. Click the thumbnail to the left to see it for yourself!

What was Hasbro thinking by using the gold and silver? Thy must've had alot of gold and silver paint left over from the movie toys.

Thy must've had alot of gold and silver paint left over from the movie toys | Funnily enough, Activators Starscream has BayFormer Decepticon logos. Of the three Activators I have in front of me (Bulkhead, Starscream and Bumblebee), unfortunately none of them have red or purple logos.
Cyber Stomp Bumblebee has proper colour logos though, and Bumper Battlers do as well, but only on their inner robot forms.

Gingerchris:
*checks*
Yes, it would appear so. Kinda throws the whole silver/gold reason out the window doesn't it?
Blaster_Prime:
Any word if they fixed the loose shoulders on this one too?
Sage o' G-fruit: 
WHY WAIT HASBRO???
WHY?????
I already bought mine. Looks like I'm takin' a trip to reprolabels.com!

They said that gold and silver looked more plausible for vehicle modes in their heads, but that they would stop doing that (starting with wave 5, as Swindle indicates) because it didn't look as good as they imagined.
dark69:
he looks better with it
twee:
I think the most important thing to come out of this is that the Wave 4 Voyager assortments are out now apparently. IIRC, Shockwave is in that wave...
paco608:
i put reprolabels on mine yesterday, it looks better w/ the red instead of the silver

Even funnier is that pretty much all toys even for the Wave 6 characters STILL got the movie faction symbols, Swindle is just the exception, and probably because a golden Symbol would be impossible to see in his dark tan color scheme.
NeoZeRo35:
I would have preferred just a silver symbol without the white background like the rest of the autobots in the animated line.

Wave 5 is shockwave & skywarp
and is not out. Yet. Except HTS. And not Now.
Banzaitron45:
well at least he now has a symbol, instead of my symboless one
Zaraxion1021:
Lol, i saw that toy today at Wal-Mart. There was only one left so my step dad bought because i was going to get a leader Megatron. I'll still test my luck and try to search for it. The symbols awesome but it could have turned out better with a goldish sortof thing.  Feralstorm: Quote:

He's probably right about the the gold-on-gold blending in too much. Oil Slick has a black emblem for that reason. Swindle only got the purple one because he already has so much purple. If he had red instead, it probably would have been colored red.
