Transformers G1 Shockwave AFA 75 (Hasbro, 1985)....

Description

Transformers G1 Shockwave AFA 75 (Hasbro, 1985). Released in 1985 as part of Transformers Series 2, Shockwave stood apart from his Decepticon peers - a cold, calculating strategist who valued logic over loyalty. Based on the original ToyCo "Astro Magnum" design, Hasbro's adaptation elevated Shockwave to cult status with his striking laser pistol transformation, glowing electronics, and voice that echoed authority. In both toy and lore, he represented a technological leap for the line - a fusion of engineering precision and storytelling depth that helped define the sophistication of early Generation 1. Graded AFA EX+/NM 75, with subgrades of B75 W80 F85, this example presents well with strong display appeal and balanced condition across all components. A cornerstone of the 1985 Decepticon wave, Shockwave remains one of Hasbro's most advanced and visually arresting Transformers. For collectors seeking the perfect mix of rarity, nostalgia, and innovation, this figure stands as a monument to the moment when the Transformers universe fused science fiction with true mechanical artistry.
