So instead of the bountiful roster of characters they have, we get... ugh, mark keeps getting missed.

This is Hasbro we're talking. Just like 343 Industries; taking a huge franchise (Halo, in this case), and thinking they're improving it, instead, ahem, !@#$ it up.

Except 343 was Bungie's Halo department, they just moved over to Microsoft's franchise....

Yet again, scheme failed.

Retreat!

*sigh* And now we're reminded that the Generations release of that Frenzy/Rumble is STILL canceled.

"Kickback" is right. As in "someone at Hasbro or High Moon Studios design departments is taking kickbacks from FansProject to design a crappy looking Insecticon!"

Soundwave looks good though, in a "same as the last figure" way. Of course, he'll be a smidgen bigger, hopefully, and does have the whole minicon thing going on now, so that's a plus. That and it saves me hunting down the earlier version. That Fremble looks pretty terrible though, and Ravage isn't all that much better. Laserbeak is ok though. Would be cool to see more of the Cassetticon characters done in this way, but...good.

Got the first, wasn't satisfied because his waist broke.

Wanted to get the second, never got the cash to get him, even before he was canceled.

I'd rather go for Frisbee here than nothing.

*looks at this*
*looks at what ShapeWays fellows pulled off*
*looks back at this*

While I'll have to use some paint, I'll be going to Shapeways for my WfC Laserbeak needs it would seem.

These are actually pretty neat. Hasbro can count on my business this year.

That said, I'm not a fan of "Let's make deluxes voyager size... and completely screw up the mold!" First we have PRID Voayger Starscream which is 100% inferior to the deluxe... and now this? I actually like that Soundwave is blockier - he's more substantial and more G1-ish in that way. But that backpack kibble makes him far less efficient than the deluxe. Not only that, the vehicle mode is less streamlined, and the discs are regrettably in need of work.

If they were going to release another figure, they should have changed his character model for FOC, as with Prime and Megatron.

Oh well. After all that, they still got my money.

I'm starting to wonder if I want to be collecting the WFC figs at all now...

I'm feeling quite underwhelmed by most of them
