More Images of BTS-04 Sonicron

Are you sure about that?



Looks more like a handheld dictaphone to me.

The proportions on this guy are way off. Elbows are two high and he either has no knees or they're right under his bum.

When they announced this I said they'd never capture the bulkiness of the original art.

Egg. On. Face. I have to admit, I think I was a bit quick to judge. It doesn't look too bad at all. The chest IS a little on the bulky side. Pity I don't have any cassettes.

I think it looks like shite. Much like Tracks & Wheeljack the chest is just way too big, except Track and Wheeljack don't suck (too much)

Very easy "Pass" for me. WFC Soundwave will still be the represented figure on my shelf.

Much as I respect their attempt to fit G1 cassettes into him, that huge chest is a major turnoff. And yet, it IS a Soundwave, so I'll probably find my way toward buying it.

ew

These new images are a bit better. I'm somewhat drawn, but also somewhat turned off by some design choices too. Now I knew that head and pelvis looked tiny since they made the chest accomodate tapes. But what really knaws at me is that (teeny) head-sculpt falls flat for me. The headsculpt is one of the most important and identifying parts of a character and I don't know who that is supposed to be. Besides being off target, it is really busy.

Just not good enough considering it'll probably cost 45 dollars or more.

These new pictures look a little bit better. They really shouldn't show off the rough white protos. Anyway, I'm still not interested because my Music Label Soundwave is good enough for me.

So this is what it was supposed to look like.

I've got to agree with CP here, it's not good enough. The bar is set pretty high with third party companies these days and I don't believe there is room for all of them to start making their own figures. Maybe BTS should stick to weapon sets, their last one was pretty cool.
