But before I left I was looking to buy some of the con figures namely Long Arm and Shockwave. (not a big fan of the Old School Lowlight as I have 4 versions of the 2 variants). But I noticed in more than one case that ShockWave was listed as ShockBlast. Does anyone out there have the filecard? If so, is the con figure molded from Shockwave V1 ShockWave or ShockBlast? Are they the same person new name? Or two different Characters? Let me know......

Hello

The figure itself uses Shockwave's upper half and the waist and legs from Lowlight v1. Hope that sorts it out for you! And hopefully all is well with you over there too! __________________ "The future's uncertain and the end is always near." - The Doors "Roadhouse Blues".

Roger?

Ahh, but the Decepticon called Shockwave was also renamed Shockblast a few years ago because Hasbro had lost the rights. Perhaps they're getting the rights back via the movie, as they did for the name Bumblebee. But maybe the con set occurred before they'd re-secured the copyright or something...

It's hot, it's dusty and were stuck on a fortified Military base. I have no access to ebay because sites like ebay, Photobucket, and MySpace eat up too much bandwidth so they are blocked at the firewall over here. Frank
