    Awesome. I have a lot of nostalgia for Shackwave since that's the only version of that mold I played with as a kid. I didn't personally have it but a friend of mine did.

    I never even bothered to acquire a Shockwave for my G1 collection but I do have a complete Galactic Man. The real deal by ToyCo, not one of the KO's

    So far, I have held off buying Seige Shockwave but this is more tempting.

    What exactly do you expect from a repaint line?

    Well my lancer is already on the way :) 

    What is the rest of rumored list?

    Guess the select line made of repainted is here to compensate lack of hascon / Botcon exclusives. These are way more affordable at least

    This is begging for a Longarm Prime upgrade kit! New head, hand(s), and crane parts... surely I’m not alone in wanting something like this.

    More things like Devcon from TR Scourge, or Nightbird or Paradron Medic, or Richochet, or Skywarp, Thundercracker and Smokescreen.
    I'm glad they are using it for Diaclone and G2 stuff. I know there are people who want those and it's cool Generations Select can provide those deco's. But about five figures in I haven't seen much to exite me.

    So is the price. I wonder who will get it other than total TF and " diaclone/pre-TF" fanatics. Shockwave itself is already a rather expensive "uptiered" Voyager. He doesn't have a proper transformation without the parts. Unless the nod to the gun is anything. I love the figure I do really. Yet it isn't all that special. And I believe this repaint falls flat on its behind. Simply because unless you are a lore and history of TF fan this isn't for you.

    I want them to rerelease Elita 1 but use the Pyra Magna/Onslaught/Inferno/Hotspot mold. Would be better than the big bulky jet

    Yeah Shackwave was the one I had as a kid, so this is very exciting! Wish it didn't come with all that extra crap, but I'll live.

    I'm sure they'll get around the ones you want eventually. I mean they were able to bring us some pretty lesser known repaints such as the unreleased G2 Megatron repaint along with Shockwave's pre TF color scheme so there's a good chance those will happen too. Also Galactic Man Shockwave wasn't part of Diaclone he was originally from another company.

    Lancer looks a lot better here than in the original picture.
