Colour picture of MP-13 Soundwave with Laserbeak + new Cassettes revealed!

This just blew everything Acousticwave had going for it right out of the water. So far I'm totally hyped for this release. I really hope these things can fit into G1 Soundwave too ... they look like they just might be able to.

I have a whole cassette collection thing going on, so these being backwards compatable is a thing for me.

Both MP-13 and the future tapes look great - but I still worry that something like this might happen..

MP13 - Soundwave and Laserbeak
MP14 - Red Alert
MP15 - Buzzsaw, Ratbat, Rumble, Frenzy (Minion army)
MP16 - Soundblaster and Ravage

Here's hoping the eventual Hasbro release of SW includes all the tapes -and- comes in cheaper!

please dont be expensive, i really want one but im not willing to pay $100 or more for one. Id just say id wait til hasbro does one but theres no guarantee that they will and if they do who knows what the price will be, itll either be over priced like Grimlock & all their current stuff or priced ok like Skywarp & HotRod were.

The colours look really good, well from what I can make out here. I love that he comes with Megatron, anybody have any idea what the small chrome part is? Could it be a tiny version of himself in a holster?

I wonder if that little yellow-rimmed tray next to it is also an accessory of some kind?

Takara is doing this right.

Yes, it's the alternate tape deck slot for his chest.

Oooh. Those are purty. I might have to try and buy.

This is the most accurate lazerbeak we've ever had and I love him! Looks like it was ripped out right from the 1988 movie and is a must have for any true collector.

Looks to be about a head shorter than Optimus, so he's a decent size.

*Not really, but I still want the hell out of this guy!

I definitely remember his hand turning into that thing in an episode or two, can't remember which episode or what it did, though.

The thing he electrocuted Skyfire with?
Man, that might actually be it, thanks!
