Hasbro has filed a new petition to the US Patent and Trademark office, and it is for the name Shockwave! While we have had some figures named Shockwave recently, it is interesting to see them going for the rights on this name. Does this mean an Animated figure, a Universe, or Movie figure? Could it lead to an Encore release? We'll have to wait and see.

Unless it pertains to a reissue here, I'm not phazed one way or the other really. It's just a name to me. Same deal with the Alternator.

Maybe they can release the mold they planned for Titanium Shockwave in a Universe package.

My first bet would be TFA too, with Universe/Classics falling a close second.

I'm highly doubtful this indicates and Encore release. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think Hasbro has taken anything from Takara's Encore line since they did that "Commemorative Series" thing... and that was years ago.

The prototype Titanium mould was freekin' sweet, but I'm guessing it's probably an animated figure.

I pray to myself for both.

The Mini-con Shockwave was a giveaway early in the game.

I hope it's the Movieverse triple changer (anti-air turret / Apache / very G1-esque robot mode with movie aestetics)

Heck, he was close enough to G1 to do double duty as a Classics/Universe Shockwave.

That would be funny if the toy gun laws prohibited the Titanium Shckwave. "Watch out! That kid has a "Noisy Cricket"!"

Posted by Sowndwave76 on April 14th, 2008 @ 10:39am CDT
Realistically I'm thinking Animated Shockwave,
but really hoping for a Universe Shockwave, IF it's not a stupid Cybertron mold repainted.

My bet goes for Animated Shockwave, Of course that doesn't stop me from hoping they release this unused mold from Titanium in Universe:

I think Getter is referring to the gun that Will Smith's character Agent J used in Men In Black. A tiny little gun that packed quite a punch known as the Noisy Cricket.
Which makes the joke. How can someone mistake Titanium Shockwave for a real gun.

If they do get the trademark(which I really hope they do), it seems logical that Habro/TakaraTomy would release a Movie, Classics/Universe, animated version of him, but there will be no Titanium because the line was unfortanetly discontinued(I want my WW Prowl & Grimlock!) and no encore due to this: http://www.seibertron.com/toys/fullsize ... 1&image=23
Sad huh?

Posted by Primus C-00 on April 14th, 2008 @ 12:22pm CDT
A lot of people have seen the un-used Titanium mould and mistaken it for a Classics 2.0/Universe, so maybe that's momentum enough to release in plastique.

I'd really love this but I can't help but doubt it.

As for movie Shockwave, the chances of anything *ahem* new this late in the line is really beyond any stretch of my imagination. Let's face it much as we'd like a new mould for a triple-changing Shockwave, I doubt it will happen.

But then I am liable to bouts of cynicism, in case you haven't noticed.

I hope upon hope for a Universe or Movie Shockwave, but in all probability it is going to be Animated.

Unless...

Shockwave in all his triune glory turns up in A Michael Bay Movie: Transformers 2.

:APPLAUSE:

That might not be true. People said the same thing about Sky Lynx and Omega Supreme. And the rumor is that the company that made those two bought the company that made Shockwave.

I don't care what its for, I want a new Shockwave, whether its Universe, animated or re-issue.

Posted by Nekoman on April 14th, 2008 @ 2:16pm CDT
You can toss the movie out the window even though I would like one myself. Maybe for TF2, but its to early to speculate on anything related to it.

Also, if its Hasbro then its not an encore since that is a TT line.

Narrowing it down to either Universe or Animated, or both (we already got two Prowls, why not two Shockwaves?), Shockwave being a rumored character in Animated, probably animated.

Posted by Megatron's Lapdog on April 14th, 2008 @ 2:38pm CDT
Hell, I say they do all three. Encore, Universe, and Animated. The world can never have enough Shockwave figures...
Re: Is Shockwave coming? (680399)
Posted by Mechabreaker on April 14th, 2008 @ 2:39pm CDT
Oh hell yeah! I want a Universe/Classics 2.0 Shockwave, and if we get him in Universe, he better transform into a BFG.
Re: Is Shockwave coming? (680402)
Posted by NuclearConvoy on April 14th, 2008 @ 2:42pm CDT
It'll be for Animated.
I'm certain of it.
Re: Is Shockwave coming? (680413)
Posted by timothyVritchey on April 14th, 2008 @ 2:53pm CDT
i'd be happy with either of them.. but i have been wanting the shockwave from the game. maybe he'll be in the next movie, maybe scenes with shockwave leading the decepticons on cybertron.. guess we'll wait and see.
Re: Is Shockwave coming? (680416)
Posted by GetterDragun on April 14th, 2008 @ 2:59pm CDT
I think movie is why this was done. We know Shockwave had a presence in the game and I would think that with Starscream going back to Cybertron, you'd hae Shockwave involved somehow. In terms of Uivers, I think there is a chance as well as Animated. But I think the Copyright issue wouldn't be as pressing for Universe since we've seen them use Shockwave on toys within the last year.
Re: Is Shockwave coming? (680439)
Posted by Jaw Crusher on April 14th, 2008 @ 3:42pm CDT
I'll be stunned if this isn't for Animated, since it's already been noted he's slated to put in an appearance.

Universe COULD be a possibility, given that we've already seen an unused mold for him from Titanium. Guess it depends on how strong the call is for that figure, so I can't really judge on that one.

As for the Movie line, that boat's pretty much passed now, unless he's going to show up in the sequel and/or the accompanying toy line.

Shockwave has been confirmed for Animated and is going to be voiced by Corey Burton.

I'm betting on Animated. We've already got an actor confirmed for doing the voice. There's also the cancelled Titanium, which would be perfect for Universe. The triple-changing Shockwave from the TFTM game would be a cool toy too.

We already know Shockwave is in Animated. He's voiced by Cory Burton. That doesn't mean that Shockwave won't be release in Universe or the new Movie line.

Universe isn't only for new Classic figures, it also has potential for other sub lines. Like the unreleased Titaniums. Mind you they would be in plastic, which would make that line alot better.

Hell, they put that awsome Shockwave in the video game as a triple changer, it would be interesting to see him in the next movie.

If Hasbro owns the name "Shockwave" does that mean that Takara Tomy can use it too, since they are business partners?

Ideal scenarion: Hasbro release the Titanium Shockwave in plastic for the Universe line and Takara uses the name to release the G1 toy in the Encore line... oh, just realised he's Laserwave over there - well it's my fantasy and that's what happened.

Likely scenario: Hasbro make a shitty Animated version *sigh*
