Why in the Black & Blue hell do they have G1 Primes gun? Also, that disk gimmick looks pretty lame, but I do like how it's spring loaded for the disks to pop out and transform.

I'm wondering if Soundblaster will be a store exclusive?

I'm eff'n dying to see who else is going to be in the Generations Voyager Class!

I remember a few years back (at least 2010-2011), there was some Q&A and one of the questions was were there going to be any Generations (or maybe that was Universe?) Voyagers, and the answer was that Hasbro's been talking about bringing in a Voyager Soundwave.... and a Voyager BW Rhinox. We got the Soundwave, does that mean the premonition of a Rhinox is about to come to fruition?

I'm definitely getting it, but now that I see how his minions are stored, I'm a little disappointed.

He can, those mini-discs are thinner than they look and will fit well into his chest.

I would also assume that it slides back, and probably be spring-loaded.

And the Award goes to yours truly!

That raises my hope on Soundwave. As long as he can store at least three, I'll be fine.

I'm picturing it working basically like:

-You press the button(or get your Soundwave/blaster to)
-Chest opens, one disk pops out
-The button mechanism is spring-loaded, so it snaps back after one disk launches
-Other disks are prevented from launching, though the door manually closes

While I have no interest in a Voyager-sized Soundwave (got the Deluxe, other FoC Cons are going to be that size), I'm really liking the characterful toy gimmick he's got. Hope we'll see more stuff like that and less of stuff like MechTech.
...maybe I'll pick up the Soundblaster deco.

Don't suppose the "buttons/fangs" can point outwards? Or that the discs can store in the Deluxe?

If they can make Soundwave's minions into random disks, why couldn't they just keep them as cassette shaped things. It's not like their alternate mode means anything here.

Nice! I already have the deluxe but I like this one too for the gimmick and minions. Transparent wheels too! Now that's cool, and I hope it carries over into the final product. Makes sense to use it in this instance. Weird that he has Prime's gun, but whatever...

Voyager soundwave:INFERIOR!!!
Soundblaster:SUPERIOR!!!!

So I take it there is still no word on FoC dinobots?
