So it's already been pointed out that all the accessories are mismatched and put on incorrectly, but has anyone else noticed that the set supposedly includes "Laserbeak, Ravage and Buzzsaw" yet the images show Ratbat, Ravage and Buzzsaw/Laserbeak? o_O;;;

Or rather, UNlucky draw Soundwave. Wonder if Hasbro actually made the whole thing out of gold plastic. :BANG_HEAD:

Probably would be brown plastic with gold painting... Like what Takara does... But then why could'nt the gold be chrome... If it was chrome I would buy it... but it's more like caramel soundwave now...

Ugh.

Pass.

My GF likes LP, but this thing is an abomination. :SICK:

Like I said, Electrum Soundwave.

Well it could look worse...

Have you guys ever seen the Linkin Park RX-78GP-01fb that Bandai released?

So I get the link between Linkin Park and TF (although not using a movieverse figure kind of kills that connection) and Soundwave is appropriately music-themed.

But why completely (dull) gold as the Exclusive colour scheme? I don't know much of the band, but a full-body paint job based on their psychedelic RotF/DotM video clips would look pretty cool. It might've even been pretty enough to lure non-fans just by its looks. This is just... bland. I wouldn't buy it even if I were a fan of both LP and TF.

Here's what I would've done provided you're stuck with this m0old choice. You've got three cassettes = three movie singles. Deco each mold black with cassette details and the film titles on one side. Laserbeak is DotM, Ravage is RotF and Ratbat should've been Frenzy and Movie1. Then cover Soundwave in three or four screen shots from the films that morph into each other at the edges (see the New Divide clip). Have the Linkin Park logo on his shoulder and feature the band members autographs or picture on the cassette door.
