Is it me, or does MP Ravages head look like it's upside down on that prototype?

Egads. You're right so you are.

That Fort Max test shot is so fugly and I want it.

well i do believe soundwave will be a fully functional MP3 player, ive seen other speculate it is for added detail... but realistically those part didnt exist so why would they add card reader slots and stuff... i guess those speculating it is for detail didnt grow up in the 80s and wouldnt know that didnt exist. so again i think we may be getting some sort of music functionality... though i think it is a waste... who the hell would walk around with that?

Someone attending Botcon? So looking at that FM I think it would be cool to see him in full devastator paint apps...I'm just sayin'.

Dammit, now even if I save up for MP Soundwave and all the cassettes, those test shots have just created another holy grail that may be forever out of my reach:

Masterpiece Howlback and Whitenoise! RRRRRRGGGHHH!!!!!

Or, if they milk these molds for every conceivable repaint, we could get that and more over the next 3-6 years? Here's hopin' they don't just stop at replicating official repaints of the original molds, but go on to do Black-Cat, those generics from MTMTE crowd shots, and new characters made up to reclaim the Four Star repaints! (I've been calling the grey/blue Laserbeak "Steelgrave" after the Starrior)

And does anyone else see the Chevy logo on Frumble's chest? Probably just a coincidence of matching the old uneven line detail with a new show-accurate neckline, or something.

Lots of awesome in this gallery.

what be these neh-sayers when it comes to Rumble? He looks great! It is amazing the amount of articulation and detail they put into that little guy. His transformation may have some similarities to his G1-self but they are not identical. I wonder if his hips swivel.

Looks like Red Alert is already sleeping on the job.




I am not so sure about MP Soundwave having working electronics. The supposed electronics are in his feet in bot mode and the ankle joint (which is a swivel joint) does not look like it is big enough to contain an electrical cord to go to the controlers.



Interesting that we haven't seen that much regarding the accessories that comes with Soundwave. For instance, what is the silver thing that attaches to his hand? What episode is that from? Haven't seen too much regarding the number of cassettes he holds. Also, looks like there an alternate door that can be attached to Soundwave that has grid lines on it.

Why is it that when I say "It isn't as awesome as Ravage and Laserbeak" I automatically become a hater?
Where does all this insecurity come from guys?

Id say all the accessories have already been announced or showcased in official pictures. The silver object is the one that they showed attaches onto his hand. The grid door is meant to be attached when your using the energon cubes to simulate them coming out of his chest just like in the cartoon.

I don't really understand why Soundwave's packaging is so large. Yes, he's bigger than Alert/Lambor, but he and Laserbeak both transform into the most efficient form that exists: a rectangle. Not to mention that Laserbeak fits inside him. Presumably they're shipping him in robot mode for some reason.

Is it me, or does MP Ravages head look like it's upside down on that prototype? Otherwise, I'm seriously liking that Leo Convoy.

Yeah the head is upside down ><

I don't think so, the details look moulded and they're on Soundwave's feet, which look to thin to accept and any cards. If it there is some functionality, then that would indeed be a great surprise.
