This article is about packaging assortments. For the Multiforce Autobot, see Waver.

A wave is a mass shipment of toys, consisting of specific toys in specific proportions. For example, a (hypothetical) "Transformers Omega Wave 1" might have shipped on January 15th, 2001, and contained five Optimus Omegas, four Megatron Omegas, four Rodimus Omegas, and one Supreme Omega per case. The next wave of "Transformers Omega" may contain some of the toys from wave 1, mixed with new toys, in different proportions. Many times the newest toys tend to be shortpacked compared to the older toys in the same wave.

Each new wave means a new selection of toys appearing on toy store shelves across the country (or world), and many Transformers fans closely follow the news about upcoming waves and what toys will be in them.
