Courtesy of Anselm Lin and TFND on Facebook, we have our first look at the Generations Legends class Shockwave. A part of the Combiner Wars series, this small version of Shockwave is to date the best Classics rendition of the Decepticon Military Operations Commander which we have seen. This version of Shockwave is intended as the Legends class accompaniment to the upcoming Bruticus, where he can be wielded like a gun in homage to the classic episode “The Revenge of Bruticus”, as well as attaching to Onslaught’s vehicle mode to upgrade the Combaticon commanding officer’s already significant firepower. There’s no pictures of that option here for you yet – but you can check out Shockwave’s robot and alternate mode in these images.

Except when they don't. Like with Cosmos, Override, Rumble, Frenzy and Runabout. All had stickers placed somewhere on the toy without making a new indentation. Easily removed without any sort of fuss. Shockwave doesn't seem like he has space for a new indentation so the most likely spot is on his leg. Really don't get why you keep harping on this when it only happened to the first wave of adventure legends figures.

They make a crater on the figure if it doesn't have a sufficiently large space for the circle sticker, which Shockwave definitely doesn't have.

They don't always. I believe only the Insecticons were remolded.

So, where do you think Takara is going to gouge out for this guy's sticker?
DarkEyes
Which you have to pay with extra few dollars.
I don't think so…

Which you can remove and replace with a Reprolabels sticker.

Wow, thanks for letting me know. Thanks for taking the time to write this. It would have been nice to see a finished list.
Autoboty
They'll probably slap a huge ugly Adventure sticker somewhere on him.
NemiMonkey
Still really hate the fact that his hands and arms are just painted translucent plastic. Guess I'll just wait and see what Takara does with him, if anything at all.
Nevermore
Megatron didn't get a redeco, Soundwave and Blaster only got a redeco via Takara (Soundblaster and Twincast), Jazz only got a redeco via Takara (Stepper), Hound didn't get a redeco, Wheeljack didn't get a redeco, Perceptor didn't get a redeco, none of the Combiners got a redeco, Sunstreaker didn't get a redeco, Tracks didn't get a redeco, Mirage didn't get a redeco, Skids didn't get a redeco, none of the 1985 Mini-Vehicles got a redeco, Blitzwing didn't get a redeco, Ravage didn't get a redeco, Astrotrain only got a redeco via Takara (black & white vs. Hasbro colors)…
Probe
They turned the last Shockwave this size into Bludgeon
OriginalFire
Yeah, I understand, but I mean like back in the 80s. I'm sure almost every single character got a re-paint but this guy. Thats what I meant back in the 80s. If they do re-tool the latest legends version, it would be interesting to see what they will do. I'm not sure of any other Shockwave figures being re-tooled.

Seems like they are always flirting around a Classics Shockwave with something that is close but not quite there. But I bet we will see a nice proper Shockwave before we see proper Classics Dinobots from Hasbro.

Kinda but at the same time, someday we'll most likely get a definitive Generations Shockwave.
Besides they're are numerous other options FOC, DOTM, Beast Hunters, Shockblast…that 3rd party one.
Eh I'll enjoy this for the gun more.
bumblebeej8
I'm going to buy this guy for Bruticus! Too hard to pass!
payres
I could see this in white, green and purple as actual Sixshot
TacticalBacon
There's Energon Six Shot. He was Shockblast's brother in that series, so maybe he can be repainted into him here?
And the Astro Magnum deco is technically canon,
Sa173533
The mold just got released, give it some time before it can be redecoed/retooled.
OriginalFire
Its such a shame that this character never got a re-paint, but I guess its never too late. He is so awesome. I don't think the Radio Shack version counts as a repaint because its not Has/Tak. All the characters were repainted and miked but this guy. I'm surprised there is no evil twin, or pre-whatever version.
