Why do you speak of such plastic crack pipe dreams. I would totally go for a new G1 Wheeljack and Mirage to replace my older versions. The thing that makes yuor comment hurt so good is the fact that it can fit into this line.

Don't tease me, bro!

Skylinx and Omega Supreme were owned by TOMY and released after the merger. I dunno how it will work with TOYBOX but I can not understand why they would just do a photo mockup of Shockwave and yet not release it.

Pics or this is a terrible terrible tease...

If true, thats pretty great. If pics surface soon...I'm off to buy an overpriced G1 battery cover to replace my broken one before those filthy reissue ones start showing up.

[Malwave]

you know it figures. The year I finally get my true G1 Shockwave...and they're possibly coming out with a reissue.

I swear takara and Hasbro monitor my toy purchases

actually, they were toybox, which tomy acquired in a merger sometime in the past, they were found in the inventory lists when takara and tomy merged, i remember my g1 sky lynx having toybox written on the bottom, not sure if they removed it for the reissues, i'd have to check

if this is true, awesome, that's the only way i'd pick up a dotm shockwave though lol

[Transbot90210]

Well then if Omega and Skylynx were Toybox and Toybox became Tomy and Tomy merged with Takara...Seems like we are going to be seeing a Shockwave reissue

It would fit in to the TT rumour I heard that they will be hitting up the G1 reissues again. Only thing is I hear that if they are Classics they will be a reissue and Shockwave has yet to get that Classics treatment.


I WANT G1 SHOCKWAVE!!

I read ages ago that the reason for this was the original molds were either lost or damaged.

Thanks for the info, Mario...fingers crossed for sure.

Hell, I'd even be 'all bills in' for a CHUG Shockwave chronicle, but that is doubly unlikely...lolzzzz

[Protoman]

Very interesting. More so I am curious about how G1 Shockwave's high in robot mode will work with these chronicle boxes..... everything thus far has been 8-9 inch Voyager scaled stuff or below, even on the G1 side..... so it makes me wonder and sad to say..... even worry about the toy itself.
