Shockwaves...how many fake's/pre are there???

Backfire
in Pre-Transformers

Recommended Posts

Always wanted to know/compare all the different versions of known Shockwaves there are out there. 

 

There are a couple I saw once...just once and can never seem to find again.

 

We all know the top 3 or 4.

 

TF Shockwave in purple

Pre TF Astro Magnum in gray

Shackwave from Radioshack in gray

and the 4 star Shockwave.

 

Then there are other fakers out there...

with pink clear plastic and gray body

mainly white body with blue and red parts

 

Multi slide sound channel electronics (instead of the switch there is a speed control on the back, only saw one once).

 

Searching out pictures.  If you find any post a link or them here.

A bootleg of Astromagnum w/ Red Parts

 

damn!!!! make that 7 versions....grrr. (adds this one to his list)

I have the grey Astro Magnum.  The battery in him still works after 20 years!

Do the ears fold up on this one?

Hehe the one fortress prime shows in the pic is from mine.  I think it is a bootleg though, no copyright on the toy

 

mine don't, they are molded to the head

The ears fold up on the one I got (from the auction) but his left hand/gun is missing the tip of the barrel! I've got some plastic tubing of the correct diameter but I don't know what length to use, can anybody help please?  :thumb

You have to keep in mind there's at least two different versions of both of the Four Star Shockwaves (there's a decent realistic FS Shockwave and goofy "Flash Gordon" type one) with colors that are inverted images of each other, so that's four right there.
