    Shockwave is understandable as the mold belongs to another company (radio shak). However why Hasbro doesn't or can't do the others has been a point of debate for a few years.

    Edit: Wow! That Reflector is even trying to duplicate the white mail order box to fool people.

    Megatron was released in 2007, it's rare to get K.O of him now. (note: He was also available in black too, to mimic e-hobby black megatron)
