Animated Shockwave (G1 colours) and Sunstorm two-pack images.

Yea, the original is better for shockwave:

I liked the gold faction symbol too.

ONLY reason I'd buy that toy. :)

You'd buy a voyager just for the insignia? Why not get a reprolabel?

Err, and the main colours dude. Purple scorpions don't look as good. ;)

And I'm sure you've bought bigger toys for less reasons. ;)

So this may be the reason why suddenly shocky became scarce.
I was even eager then to try its many other smart-modes including the "shockgun-mode" - as shown below.:)
This time I have to put them in my watchlist! When are we expecting them to hit our local retailers?

Animated Shockwave is RiD Galvatron for the late Noughties. I like elephant mode:

He's been sighted in the US, so hopefully soon!

Looking at those pics of Animated Shockwaves side by side, neither of them look better or worse to me - but I'll stick with the original as that's the colours he has in the show. I'm not particularly interested in non-G1 Transformers unnecessarily trying to look G1... feels try hard to me.

Hi Guys,

Got this from an email newsletter from one of the S'pore Toy Stores:

Animated Sunstorm and Ratchet photo here

Apparently it's a Target exclusive, so I assume it's in line with the "Banana Ratchet" and Lockdown 2-packs that Target previously had?

P.S: Mods please merge/remove thread if this news is already somewhere. Thanks. :)

I wish sunstorm had subtle painted flames on his wings. Then I guess he could be called firestorm :o but seriously I find sunstorm repaints boring. Thanks for the info.
