Since auto-transforming Lazerbeak and friends would most likely NOT need magnets, I wonder how they're gonna pull off the auto-transform

As an aside, it's the Bakugan that contains the magnet, the cards are just pieces of some magnetic metal, like iron. My bakugan make pretty decent fridge magnet for that reason.

Yeah, I dunno how it will work for Frenzy/Rumble, might just be manual transformation. We'll find out soon enough!

Now, what to do with my deluxe Soundwave...

Or, like I said, he changes back to Soundwave afterward. I mean, in Marvel G1, Bumblebee got upgraded in Goldbug, and then back into Bumblebee when he became a Pretender.RAcast wrote:Sabrblade wrote:Though, Soundblaster makes no sense here since Soundwave never becomes Soundblaster (unless he changes back for some reason, or if Soundblaster is a different character this time).
For what it's worth, we're not 100% sure that the Aligned Continuity doesn't split somewhere and become the Prime continuity. So it's possible that Soundwave could become Soundblaster in FoC without that having any impact on Prime.

Yeap, SW is taller than megs...
If the new voyagers are that short, I think i'll pass...

I'm more bitter about how we pretty much have nulled the existence of two Generations 2010 figures with Prime and Soundwave getting new molds. And who knows, with Megatron/BB as popular as they are, will likely get new figures in new sizes.

I was about to say how terrible the new Prime figure is, then I remembered the repaint. All is forgiven Fattimus Prime!
