Here’s an interesting little observation passed along by Automaton Toys over on our sister site Cybertron.CA. On the recently released Transformers Chronicle reissues, the inner flaps depict some different Dark of the Moon / Generation 1 toy combinations. Optimus Prime’s Chronicle release shows Dark of the Moon and Generation 1 Ratchet, while Megatron’s box flaps show Dark of the Moon and Generation 1 Shockwave! Could this be indication of future reissues in the Transformers Chronicle line and the fulfillment of many a fan’s earnest desire to own an original Shockwave, or merely a cruel glimpse at a possibility that may never come to pass?
One thing is for sure – if there is any further news, we’ll have an update for you right here on the TFW frontpage. Watch this space.

Don't bump old threads unless you have something important to add.

+3 ( I hate when this shit happens to me ).

lol. But it got you (and me) excited for a brief moment while clicking on in.

You still felt compelled to knowingly bump a two year old thread without new info?
Master Sing
Wow, hard to believe this topic is from two years ago.. anybody have anny new info?

You do realize all of the characters have cartoon images right? Including the Prime and Megatron who have already been released.
Takara/Tomy have surprised us in the past, and at this point if they have access to it, there really is no reason not to reissue Shockwave. He is easily in the top five most popular Decepticons.

I hope the Shockwave one at least never sees the light of day…just to avoid the implosion of the forums with the haves vs. have-nots.

Thats cool!
But Ratchet…. I mean G1 Ratchet deserves a reissue but Movie Ratchet doesn't deserve anything… I mean he has a decent figure but he doesn't deserve that treatment.
I think it would be better if they did Starscream.
As for Shockwave, that is most likely going to be something I save up for!

The quality is pretty good. The only problems I have with it is one of the feet is troublesome and the barrel keeps falling off.
Other than that, I've been pleased with it.

Such a wonderful dream to own a G1 Shockwave.

Annnnnnnnnnd cock block.

How is the quality of it? I have been REALLY Tempted, even more so now as an official reissue is a pipe dream.

Already,

Aw, phooey.
I think that's more due to the fact that the third-party companies are situated in areas where copyright law is virtually non-existent.

This would be awesome. I had two G-1 Shockwaves as a kid and played with each til I broke them.

Purple body with the gray barrel. I've seen the other KO version with the purple barrel.

you were just a dream, g1 shocky

Seems like just speculation here, which is disappointing. Shockwave is one of those TFs I thought I'd have to track down an original for. It'd be nice to just have the reissue.
Interesting – perhaps this is the same reason why they can't go after third party "likenesses".
Hot Shot.
That pretty much killed this rumor.
