Why would a Soundwave recolor be called Shockwave? Soundblaster is probably right considering that was the name of the upgraded Soundwave in Headmasters that was essentially the same toy, only black and with a bigger chest that could hold two tapes instead of just one.<br><br>-Jeremy Shockwave is a big purple space gun.
