Rank 8 - Multi-Section Mod
That doesn't seem to be the same knockoff, or at least it's not from the same run. It has a purple gun cover, grey hose and the whole toy is the wrong colour purple: as if you'd need to look at the legs to know it wasn't a G1 Shockwave.Originally Posted by langzixinxin
Shockwave reissue is never possible now. The mould disappeared long time ago.
The KO shockwave and real one has a mould difference on legs, a closer photo post here I will be able to tell. For example, this is KO:

The 'purple barrel' version is made by the same KO company that did the more accurate grey barrel one. It's supposed to be their 'anime version'

G1 Shockwave's popularity was totally unexpected by hasbro. It seems no one took special care on this toy ininitally.
The mould was shipped to Korea then after some time shipped to China then disppeared, officially
Believe or not I once talked to a guy who knew the G1 KO boss directly. This guy taught me how to distinguish the shockwave KO. It is very easy and very difficult (basically impossible) for unhonest people to fake it.
If you see anyone selling shockwave on ebay, ask them provide a front view photo of upper leg area. Sorry for my limit English here. Regardless its grey barrel or purple barrel, the upper leg area will simply show the difference straightaway.
