	: Released in the fifth wave of Hasbro's ''[[Transformers Animated (toyline)\|Animated]]'' Voyagers, this toy features four distinct modes. In "Infiltration Mode", the shorter, stockier Autobot Longarm transforms into a four-legged crane platform. If one fancies, one can stretch out his Shockwave-mode limbs to emulate his limb-stretching ability in Longarm mode (albeit not very well). In "Spy Mode", he stretches and converts into the taller, lankier Decepticon Shockwave, as the crane portion of Longarm's body converts into a hand-held cannon. The center panel on his chest flips between Autobot and Decepticon symbols; both chest symbols are vacuum-metalized, with very shiny silver and gold (respectively). Curiously, while the rotating faction symbols on his chest use the usual "classic" designs, the tampographed Decepticon symbol on his cannon/crane is in the movie style and is visible in his Autobot modes~~. Additionally, the only mode in which Longarm's head is not fully visible is Shockwave himself~~.		: Released in the fifth wave of Hasbro's ''[[Transformers Animated (toyline)\|Animated]]'' Voyagers, this toy features four distinct modes.

	: All the differences between Shockwave and Longarm can be difficult to remember, even for Hasbro. In the "tank mode" picture at right, the secondary guns are incorrectly folded back. On the back of this toy's box, there are several small transformation errors, the most obvious being that only ''one'' of Shockwave's shoulders has been correctly rotated up. Also, the toy's [[instructions]] do not show Shockwave's neck correctly extended (his chin is touching his chest plate in the instructions, just as for Longarm). The instructions also fail to mention that you can bend his upper torso forward as Shockwave to better replicate the slouch that he has in the cartoon. In his Longarm mode, it is also possible to extend his neck and push the tab forward, so that he maintains his Longarm face while having a better-articulated neck. One final and often missed feature is the forehead panel that contains Shockwave's red eye is actually on a hinge so that when his neck is fully extended, the panel can be pushed back into the "T" shaped groove, covering the gaps where his Longarm eyes used to be.		: All the differences between Shockwave and Longarm can be difficult to remember, even for Hasbro.

	: Released in the ninth wave of TakaraTomy's ''Animated'' line, this edition of purple Shockwave was available individually, and like most Takara ''Animated'' toys, the figure features a shiny metallic finish for some of the purple parts, including Shockwave's chest and main shoulder and leg pieces.

	: A predominantly-purple [[redeco]] of the Voyager toy, this version retains his four modes and gimmickry within each. Although this version seems to be a less convincing Autobot due to its purple paint job, in one respect he would be a better spy in this form, as the redeco doesn't have the Decepticon symbol on the cannon arm to give him away.
