If you mean if Hasbro is releasing Frenzy and friends with Soundwave, it's a yes. We haven't seen how their decos differ from the Takara releases.

Let the FIRRIB debate begin!

I like how his weapons store in his pile-drivers. That's a nice-looking Ravage, but seeing the comparison with his Universe toy, I'm a little shocked by how much smaller he is.

WOOT THANKS FOR MAKING MY DAY

yeah I was a little underwhelmed with Ravage myself being hes my fav cassette next to ratbat but still not having to import all cassettes is great

I have to say, I'm not sure what to think of MP Ravage just yet....

Between USB, classics, and Masterpiece, there seems to be something off about all of them?

Maybe it is the head sculpts? I almost like BTS Nightfangs the best?

Yeah, I was hoping MP Ravage was gonna be spot on but turns out...not so much. He's not bad at all tho and I'll definitely be more than happy to add him to the collection. Funny, but I seem to like G1 Ravage best.

Already done: In the thread for the first announcement last weekend I suggested Hasbro take the opportunity of having them both in the same box to have the packaging and instructions consistently refer to the two collectively, the main thing I miss their Dreamwave story appearances.

As for differing decos, hope they're all the same as Takara's, but I for one would be okay with them recoloring Soundwave for accuracy to his original toy like MP Hot Rodimus, with a yellow optic band. Hell, follow up with a purple variant with Cassettes repainted into the Cobalt Sentries, Enemy, and all the background cassettes from MTMTE.

Actually, I'd seriously like to see color variants with Acid Storm: Many want the Universe camo deco, but I'd like a retina-scorching show-accurate deco, so why not put both in the same cases? That way everyone gets their pick, and completists who get both boost sales! Yes, I know there's probably some reason that's not a practical production plan. but now that we've known about Metroplex for a week, anything seems possible! Hasbro's likely moved on, but until they release a show-accurate Acid-storm, they're still technically pwned by CHMS in 1/6 of the visible-Seeker-spectrum. Just sayin'.

Damn...Ravage is tiny! Can't wait to see how he looks with Soundwave though.
