Trivia

 * "Shockwave" is one of the names Hasbro uses for both G.I. Joe and Transformers properties. In the early 2000s trademark issues forced both characters to be renamed "Shockblast". The name "Shockwave" was recovered by Hasbro by 2006; however they have opted to use it only for the Transformers line and so the 2008 and 2009 releases of the G.I. Joe characters have been called "Shockblast". Using the different names allows Hasbro to retain both trademarks.


 * He appears in the commercial for G.I. Joe #72, riding the Desert Fox in pursuit of the Star Viper, although he is not in the actual issue, and it is Tunnel Rat who rides in the vehicle instead.
