A question, has TF Animated voyager wave 5 ever been released in Australia?, because when I used to collect the animated series I never saw them, but I was really excited on getting my hands on that Shockwave and Skywarp.

I know Shockwave was released here in both his 'Longarm' colours and his 'Shockwave' colours. Never saw a Skywarp however. I know they did release a Voyager Sunstorm along with a mini-Ratchet here but never got around to getting him.
I only ever remember seeing them at Myer, I think it was several months after the series after that had started.
If you want though, I have a Shockwave I could sell you.
That's right. The ones that came with the legends figures were general releases.
I was just talking about Skywarp and the normal Grey release of Shockwave being seen in Myer.
It is the grey version (Longarm Prime). And it is MISB.
Yeah, they were eventually released here - but delayed IIRC. They came out in New Zealand first; I got my Wreck Gar and Shockwave (original colours) via a NZ contact. When those toys did finally come out here, I got Skywarp locally. And yeah, I recall seeing them at Myer and Uncle Pete's.
Shockwave, Wreckgar and Skywarp was more spotted in Uncle Pete's stores. Wreckgar got released in Big W and Kmart as well but in limited quantities. I don't recall seeing Skywarp elsewhere other than UNcle pete's which is where I got mine. Both the purple and gray version of Shockwave was soldin Uncle Pete's and Kmart IIRC. Uncle Pete's even had them on sale really cheap (deluxe pricing) when the new TF generations were out.
I think TRU also had Skywarp... very briefly, as it sold out within days of it being found.
Do a search of the sightings topics for skywarp or shockwave, and you'll see some around 2009.
grey shockwave was in still some myer stores when they were selling the 5 pc PCC combiners :)
I wish animated was still in stores! I missed most of that line
I remember getting the purple Shockwave in a two pack with Activators Ratchet and Sunstorm in a two pack with Activators Bumblebee, both from Kmart Aust. They where US Target exclusives that Kmart picked up here.
I did pick up Skywarp and I'm fairly sure from somewhere here in Australia, can't remember which store.
I'm wondering if Voyager Thundercracker ever got released here? I'd like to pick one up in the future to complete my Animated Seekers.
