I don't get it. The the aliens speak Russian? I think there needs to be more explanation why the name of this plant has a backwards "N" in it. - [[User:Starfield|Starfield]] 20:52, 18 August 2011 (EDT)
: I'm not sure there needs to be an explanation beyond "It's friggin' Russian." --[[User:ItsWalky|ItsWalky]] 20:57, 18 August 2011 (EDT)
::Yeah, I'm pretty sure Jim just made it Russian on an amusing whim. If you want to believe that it means the aliens speak Russian, feel free. [[User:Interrobang|—Interrobang]] 21:10, 18 August 2011 (EDT)

Er, why the move? Now it's Latin script, which isn't coded the same as Cyrillic, with an и in the middle for some reason. [[User:Interrobang|—Interrobang]] 22:07, 1 January 2012 (EST)

== That's no Мир... It's a space station. ==

http://tfwiki.net/wiki/%D0%9C%D0%B8%D1%80 says that Мир (Mir) is Russian for "world" and "peace". Is the name of this fictional planet the same as the name of the nonfiction space station? and did the author name the planet after the station or the word? (i'd guess the word, but i'm hoping someone can confirm the [[Authorial intent]].)

I have no clue why I find this entire article so hilarious. It is so funny that even things that should not be funny, such as the perfectly ordinary disambig2 at the top, are somehow funny. --[[User:Andrusi|Andrusi]] 02:09, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

Its a nice page I don't see how it is so much funnier then the others. I also saw nothing special about the Disambig page is this an inside joke or something. Man being a newbie sucks eggs. --[[User:Bobtherandomguy|Bob]] 7 April 2007 (UTC)

== Automorph ==

Looking over the article I noticed the comment about Bonecrusher not having an automorph feature. At first I agreed, but having gotten it and playing with it for a while, I realized the gear-activated blades on the scoop are meant to be the automorph, however pitiful. I checked the packaging again and sure enough, it had "Automorph Technology" emblazened across the front. I'd rather not change this right away, since calling it "Automorph" is highly charitable. Does anyone want to change it, or should a side note be added instead? [[User:King Starscream|King Starscream]] 17:51, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

What ever happened to the HobbyLinkJapan "confirmed" voyager class Bonecrusher? Was that proven unfounded or what?

== English ==
Is it just me, or in the fight with Prime, the last thing Bonecrusher shouts is an english "I hate you!" at Prime? --[[User:Terrocon Blot|Terrocon Blot]] 12:26, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
:It's not just you. I heard "I hate you!" "Move!" (to the bus) and "Take that, Autobot!" (on the windsheild). [[User:Inferno'sQueen|Mr. Q]] 16:19, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

well he definently, screems "I hate you" to Prime, right before being stabed, while he was being stabed he says somthing that sounds like blonga, though he might have been saying, "I long to..." (destroy/kill you) i heard nothing else in english though. [[User:Editoroflife|Editoroflife]] 01:37, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

I heard bonecrusher say, "Stay back!"(right before prime transformers), "You'll fall!"(as he rams into prime), "Take that, prime!" or "Stay back, prime!"(Just before prime rams into him and knocks bonecrusher's eye out of his socket), and "Ooh, I hate you ya-ow!(you)"(Right before prime cuts off his arm). Then he made a few weird garbling noises before optimus killed him. Did bonecrusher speak? Frankly, I think he spoke 4 times throughout the film (not counting "Bonecrusher rolling.")-[[User:St.Hound|St.Hound]]

== Potential Funny ==

If there's ever room for a/another mildly lengthy funny on this page, I hereby suggest this Ellison quote:

"Hate. Let me tell you how much I've come to hate you since I began to live. There are 387.44 million miles of printed circuits in wafer-thin layers that fill my complex. If the word hate was engraved on each nanoangstrom of those hundreds of million miles it would not equal one one-billionth of the hate I feel for humans at this microinstant. For you. Hate. ''Hate.''

:If I'm not mistaken, "Ask Vector Prime" appeared on Hasbro's own website, and is therefore canon. Bonecrusher's Blog was apparently created by a fan, and is therefore not canon.

== Defiance issue 2 appearance? Need help/opinions ==

I really don't want to play "Guess what Dan Khanna and Andrew Griffith are meant to be drawing in Defiance!", but I have no choice. On the third panel of page 15, among the many vaguely drawn robots in the crowd, there is a olive and tan guy with a low-set head and some spikey thing behind his head on his back. Is this Bonecrusher? The overall design and colour layout seems to suggest so. He's not in the following Decepticon army page (though it's really hard to tell).

I still we think we need a Constucticon Confusion type article/page on the wiki, to nicely describe the Constructicon/Bonecrusher/drone confusion.

== red accessory: Mini-Con Runway? ==

Is that red thing in the lower right of the picture supposed to represent the Armada Mini-Con Runway? (Was the Mini-Con also in Energon?)

(Note that http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Runway says Runway and Jetstorm's names are reversed in the original Air Defense Team's instructions. Their names are also reversed in several licensed Armada print material, like the coloring and activity books put out by Bendon Publishing International, Inc., as well as in the DK Readers book "The Quest". Finally, it also happened on several occasions in the actual Armada television show.)

== Worth mentioning? ==

I'm unsure if i'm missing a stage in his transformation but is it worth mentioning that Rapido can barely see over his own car hood chest? Seem's moderately humourous for a rank of 10.

Shockwave (G1)/toys

2012-02-15T21:02:54Z

70.17.204.103: /* Merchandise */

{{suite}}

'''[[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]]''' has many toys, so logic dictates that they should receive a page. Logic also dictates that they should be awesome.

==Toys==
===Generation 1===
[[Image:G1Shockwave toy.jpg|thumb|250px|You can try to play Duck Hunt with him all day long, but it just doesn't work.]]
*'''Shockwave''' (Decepticon, 1985)
**''Japanese ID number'': '''49'''
**''Accessories'': "Magnetic impulse defuser" barrel
: Sold boxed, Shockwave was one of the very first 1985 toys to see release, if not ''the'' first. Shockwave transforms into a large Cybertronian handgun. He has light and sound electronics activated by his gun-mode trigger and powered by a 9-volt battery. The sound effects can be switched between two (fairly generic) blaster-sound frequencies with a small toggle on his battery pack. As a robot, he has a large, if not the most, amount of articulation for the era.

: Shockwave was initially sold without a rub sign; one was later added to the side of his torso.

:The rubber hose covering the wires connecting his torso and arm's electronics is particularly prone to dry-rotting. Be careful!

::*''[http://www.tfu.info/1985/Decepticon/Shockwave/shockwave.htm More information on Shockwave at TFU.info]''

[[Image:ActionMaster Shockwave.jpg|thumb|Small and deadly.]]

* '''Shockwave with Fistfight''' (Action Master, 1990)
** ''Accessories'': Double-barreled "Turbo Rifle"

: As an [[Action Master]], Shockwave is a non-transforming action figure who combines elements of his cartoon model and original toy, with a few more details. He is compatible with any other Action Master weapon or vehicle. Part of the third wave of individually-carded Action Master figures, He came with his small robot [[Action Master partner|partner]] [[Fistfight (G1)|Fistfight]], who combines with Shockwave's handgun to form a "Lightning Gun" cannon.

: Reportedly, early "test market" releases came with a rubber hose that connects from his gun-arm to his back, like the original toy. There are holes in the toy's gun-arm and backpack; the black hoses found in many old ''[[G.I. Joe (team)|G.I. Joe]]'' toys can fit in the holes.

::*''[http://www.tfu.info/1990/Decepticon/Shockwave/shockwave.htm More information on Shockwave at TFU.info]''

 

===Alternators===
[[Image:AlternatorsShockblast toy.jpg|thumb|250px|Guns akimbo.]]
*'''Shockblast''' (Alternator, 2004)
**''Alternator ID number:'' '''12'''
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''BT-13'''
**''Accessories'': Muffler-blaster

: A [[Retool|retooling]] of the "[[Jazz (G1)/toys|Meister]]" Alternator, "Shockblast" ([[trademark]] problems...) transforms into a 1:24-scale fully-licensed Mazdaspeed-modified RX-8 sports car. He features working car doors, hood, and trunk. His muffler unfolds to become a hand-held blaster; the mounting peg for car-mode actually pegs into the holes on his forearms by the elbow joints quite snugly, letting you mount the blaster there if you wish. While the box has the name "Shockblast", the car's actual license plate is "SHKWAV".

: Aside from the new head, color change and the laser cannon replacing his left hand, other differences between Shockblast and Meister are that Shockblast has new front and rear fenders, doors, side skirts and a spoiler.

: The original Meister mold was also used to make the [[Autorooper]] and [[Zoom-Zoom]].

::*''[http://www.tfu.info/2005/Decepticon/AltShockblast/shockblast.htm More information on Shockblast at TFU.info]''

 

===Titanium Series===
[[Image:Shockwavetitanium.jpg|thumb|150px|Cancelling me is illogical.]]
*'''Shockwave'''

: A 6" transforming Shockwave toy was designed and displayed at [[BotCon]] 2007, but [[Titanium Series]] was canceled before its tooling could be completed.
{{Canceledtoy}}{{-}}

===Attacktix===
* '''Shockwave''' (unreleased)

: Shockwave was likely to have been one of several ''Transformers [[Attacktix]]'' Booster pieces, using a wide, powerful, spring-loaded "blaster" missile launcher attack. He was to be a 40-point Leader-class piece. Though displayed as part of the ''Attacktix'' display at the [[Star Wars]] "Celebration IV" convention, Shockwave was ultimately never released as the ''Attacktix'' toyline was put on ice.

{{Canceledattacktix}}
 

===Generations===
[[Image:Generationstoy-Shockwave.jpg|right|thumb|300px| This repurposing is very logical indeed. ]]
*'''Cybertronian Shockwave''' (Deluxe, 2012)
: Part of the first wave of [[2012]] ''[[Generations (toyline)|Generations]]'' Deluxe Class toys, [[Shockwave (WFC)|Shockwave]] is based on his ''[[War for Cybertron]]'' design and transforms from a robot to a spaceship and back. The front center fuselage of the spaceship may become a handheld weapon.
: This toy was repurposed as ''Generation 1'' Shockwave in [[IDW Publishing]]'s ''[[The Transformers: Robots in Disguise|Robots in Disguise]]'' comics.
{{comingsoontoy}}

==Merchandise==
===Transformers Milk Caramel===
[[Image:Caramel_shockwave.jpg|right|thumb]]
*'''Laserwave''' (1985)
:A soft rubber figurine—known in Japan as a ''keshigomu''— of Shockwave was released as part of the second wave of [[Kabaya]]'s ''[[Transformers Milk Caramel]]'' [[candy toy]] range. He came packaged with chocolate-covered caramel candies, and was available in red, blue and yellow.
{{-}}

===Decoy===
{{anchor|TakaraDecoy}} [[Image:Decoy_shockwave.jpg|right|thumb]]
*'''Destron Hero Collection 22''' (multi-pack, 1986)
:Shockwave was among the many characters rendered by [[TakaraTomy|Takara]] as part of their series of 1.5" ''keshigomu'' figurines. Like all the Decepticons in the series, Shockwave was molded in soft purple rubber, and featured a number sculpted into his back that was the sum total of his [[Tech Spec]]s, for use in the various games that could be played with the figurines. Shockwave was available as part of a 22-piece box set of Autobot figures, and later, in a peach coloration randomly packed as part of various other box sets.

{{anchor|HasbroDecoy}}
*'''Shockwave''' (Decoy, 1987)
**''Decoy number'': '''51'''

:The figurine was later brought over to [[Hasbro]] markets as part of the [[Decoy]] promotion, largely identical to the Japanese release except for the fact that the number on his back was replaced with a simple "checklist" number (51, in Shockwave's case). Like all Decepticon Decoys, Shockwave was a randomly-chosen pack-in available with the carded [[Throttlebot]]s, [[Aerialbot (G1)|Aerialbots]], [[Protectobot (G1)|Protectobots]] and [[Technobot (G1)|Technobots]] and was, very early on in the promotion, available in an alternate red coloration that was only packed in with the Throttlebots. Unsurprisingly, this red figurine is much rarer.

* '''Grimlock & Shockwave''' (Robot Heroes, 2007)

: The most adorablest Shockwave ever, ''[[Robot Heroes (toyline)|Robot Heroes]]'' Shockwave is a stumpy PVC figurine that combines toy and animation model details into a single package. He has limited articulation (neck and shoulder swivels only), but he's so cute it doesn't matter. He was available in a two-pack with a similarly lovable version of [[Grimlock (G1)/toys|Grimlock]].

===Mighty Muggs===

*'''Shockwave''' (Mighty Mugg, 2009)

: Part of the third wave of [[Mighty Muggs]], Shockwave is a [[super deformed]], non-transformable PVC figure with articulated arms and head. As all Mighty Muggs are made from the same mold, he has a really weird-looking round head. His left arm, however, is [[retool]]ed to include his trademark gun hand.

: Shockwave was briefly believed to be canceled, but Hasbro revealed at San Diego Comic-Con 2009 that his wave would be released. Along with the rest of his wave, Shockwave was eventually released as an exclusive at Diamond Distributors and [[Toys"R"Us]] stores.

==Notes==
[[Image:ToyCoAstroMagnum.jpg|230px|thumb|"Shackwave"? '''"Shackwave"?!''' RADIOWAVE, [[fandom|you]] idiots!]]
* Although Shockwave was depicted in the very first episode of the original cartoon series, he did not receive a toy release until early in 1985. Unlike the bulk of early Transformers that drew their molds from [[TakaraTomy|Takara]]'s ''[[Diaclone]]'' and ''[[Micro Change|Microchange]]'' toys, Shockwave's original form was first produced by ToyCo as the "[http://www.robot-japan.com/Gallery/Takara/Transformers/G1/AstroMagnum/Toybox-Astro-Magnum.asp 4 Changeable Astro Magnum]". As such, similar non-Transformer toys using the same mold were released in 1985, including a [[RadioShack]] exclusive called "Galactic Man". A minor but amusing difference between the Radio Shack version, humorously called "Shackwave" by fans, and the [[Hasbro]] version, is that Shockwave's inconveniently placed trigger was remolded and appears less... inconvenient.
** A 1985 Hasbro briefing binder gives Shockwave's toy the name "Spark Man," which probably was a name attached to the toy, considering its similarity to Radio Shack's "Galactic Man," rather than being an early name for the Hasbro character. <ref>http://boltax.blogspot.com/2010/12/ron-friedman-auction-hasbro-briefing_15.html</ref> He still hadn't settled into his finalized name at the time the script for "[[More than Meets the Eye (episode)|More than Meets the Eye]]" was written; in it, he is referred to as '''Flash Beam'''. <ref>http://boltax.blogspot.com/2011/02/ron-friedman-auctions-scripts-part-3-of.html</ref>
* The Astro Magnum mold also appears to have been licensed to a small company called Village Toys in the 1980s, where it showed up in their [http://counter-x.net/footnotes/convert-a-bots/index.html Convert-A-Bots] line under the name "N-4-SR" (..."Enforcer", get it?). This release was [http://plasticcrack.net/archives/2009/04/convert-a-bot_shockwave_that_is_not_shockwave dark grey, with purple highlights].
[[Image:Starbrigade.jpg|125px|thumb|Product and colors (and franchise) may vary.]]
* Shockwave bears the rather strange distinction of receiving a number of particularly high quality [[Knockoff|knockoffs]], all of which known retain the electronics and some even having odd [[wikipedia:Flash Gordon|Flash Gordonesque]] [[retool]]s.
* One of the earliest pictured versions of Action Master Shockwave features some awkward proportions and Fistfight with reversed colors. Another oddity of this version is that Shockwave's right hand is sculpted in an open position.
* A silhouette of Action Master Shockwave's card art appears on the back of the [[G.I. Joe (team)|G.I. Joe]] Star Brigade packaging... as [[Hawk (G.I. Joe)|Hawk]]!
