Are they sure that's supposed to be Laserbeak? From the first episode shown, I've been saying he looks like Ratbat. Primary reason; There's no beak on him. Second, the sound he produces sounds like a bat screech.

I have to say, this Soundwave looks like he belongs with the Brestforce in Victory. Makes you wonder if there might be more of them.

I agree with most of this. I'm on the fence with this figure. I find his arms and hands so odd but i'm intrigued by them at the same time. He's very "unique". Which is a quality i like.

I dig his head and torso quite a bit. I'd like to see some more poses so as to see what the poseability of those legs is like.

He's certainly better than any movie Soundwave in my opinion. The more i'm typing and thinking about this figure the more i'm leaning towards getting him. On sale anyways.

Yet again, I am fairly pleased with this figure. I, too, hope for a Voyager size figure of Soundwave later down the road but this deluxe looks good. Hopefully, with his articulation, you can capture his on-screen personality like you can with Deluxe Starscream. Laserbeak was an excellent touch as well.

I have to agree with you on this 100%. The first time Soundwave sent it out, the first thing I saw was RatBat. Its the head design, the way the wings are shaped and he looked almost purple in the show. On the other hand, it will more than likely be named LaserBeak since that name is very popular right now thanks to him being in DotM. I'll still call him RatBat though.

The kibble makes it more difficult to identify than on the show, but his alt mode is the General Atomics MQ-9 Reaper.

At BotCon 2011, hasbro said it was Laserbeak.

I don't know why but I'm getting a Beast Machines vibe from the packaging.

Talking bad about the First Edition Starscream is a brave thing to do.

You know...I don't think I've seen a TF Prime figure yet that im not totally stoked about. Soundwave included. They look so much like the show, its incredible. I can't think of a single one i wont be buying. CANT WAIT for these to start hitting shelves...so let's go, hasbro!!!
