No. Jetfire also had those. Hips too.

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.

I pray to myself for both.

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

but really hoping for a Universe Shockwave, IF it's not a stupid Cybertron mold repainted.

You mean like a Deringer? Those tiny little pistols?

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.
"Look the kid's got a tiny purple gun, shoot him!!!'

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.

Sad huh?
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.

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.

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.

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.

Is that triple-changer even feasable as a toy?

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*
