What's the deal with Shockwave's name being Shockblast on the 25ths? I don't like it one bit. His name is Shock"WAVE"!

Dataframe is pissed too!
You'll find a few like that Shockblast, Dataframe, Nemesis Immortal, The Sting Raider....just copyright, legal mumbo jumbo...feel free to call them by their right names as we all do. |

Shockwave's name is not a copyright issue. They had, and still have the rights to the name Shockwave, they've been using it in Transformers. They seem to think that kids are so stupid, that they'd confuse the Joe SWAT guy with the evil purple robot.

In late '05 it was sorted out enough to use it, I assume, when his name was changed back for Transformers: Cybertron. They regained the rights to use the name as a Trademark in 2006. By using the Shockwave name in one toy line and the Shockblast name in another, they are able to retain the TM rights to both names. |
