Pics of ROTF G1 Deco Soundwave

I recently got this and played around with digital camera so I thought I share for those who are interested. My only complaint is that the visor isn't red but yellow.

I still think the film original deco is still the better one (Especially when you consider the paint applications slyly homage the general Soundwave colour layout), while this comes out as a bit plain. I especially think another colour apart from the smoky white would be a better choice for the light-piping elements.

Yeah, what's up with painting over light piping in some figures? My Universe Drag Strip has red light piping but the eyes have red paint over them...come on, Hasbro, it's redundant, takes more effort/time/money, and the result is inferior to simply leaving the red light piping alone.

Which is raises a big question as to why have it in the first place if it won't work? I have to say my most favorite light piping is 2007 Movie Jazz, no kibble block and not painted, a large blue piping visor.

I appreciate good light piping. It's a simple design feature that can add a good deal of dramatic effect to displayed figures. Universe Cyclonus, TFA Voyager Starscream, and TFA Oil Slick(particularly), come to mind for figures that seem to pick up a fair amount light from most angles. Starscream lights up like a jack-o'-lantern and Cyclonus has a perfectly sinister glow. I really like how Oil Slick's double use of transluscent plastic gives him a unique look.
Light piping is one of those things that I just enjoy from a purely childish perspective. "Wheeeeee, look at that pretty, shiny light!"

That reminds me of something GRRR from Invader Zim would say!
