As we know, the Universe line will go on hiatus next year during the movie. The series may return in some form following TFROF but it will be depend on several factors. If the Universe does return, Bill states that two characters - G1 Soundwave and Beast Wars Rhinox would be on the top of that list. Rhinox would be considered as a Voyager.
More Bots. More News. More Awesome.

Rhinox done right would be great, Rhinox done like 25th Cheetor, and Dinobot... not so much.
Soundwave... They've pretty much tried and failed with new versions. Titanium...fail, Cybertron- many considered bad, and movie toy, waiting to be judged.
I'm sure they could do some great stuff if they decided it would be alright to make a tape player, or make him something entirely different like a vehicle with his minions. That's the big thing, he needs his army. Make them minicons already and make them attachable to him in alt/robot mode so it makes sense that he would upgrade with them, or carry them that way and it would be nice.

I think it's way past time for a classics/universe Jazz...
And I would like to see a new Soundwave that was voyager-size to accomodate the new Ravage that just came out...
I also think they should do a voyager-size Rodimus Prime...

Man, I really hope they continue with this line, this is the only reason I got back into buying the toys anymore. They really need to make some kind of mass retail G1 version of Thundercracker, Thrust and Dirge, if they can at least do those, Jazz and Wheeljack I think I'd be satisfied. As long as everyone can get them. None of this convention exclusive crap that is impossible to get. Seriously.

Hey, i'm 35 and i'm still collecting. "It never ends", to quote Furman. 
Anyways, i'd love to see what can they do with Soundwave. I have my G1 replica here, and a Universe version would be great.

I kinda feel the same way...
When the ROTF line comes out, I'm going to try and NOT buy any of those toys.
And I'm also trying to be very selective with the Animated figures I get...
Wreckgar and Swindle are the only for sure buys for me at this point (maybe Roadbuster U.M.)
Then IF Universe returns, just like now, I'm only buying the Classics figures that are new molds
(And I've even passed on a couple of those-- Powerglide, & Silverbolt)
The only exception was my purchase of the Roadbuster/Dirge 2-pk.,
but I didn't have either of those molds yet.
It's time to slow the collecting down...

I will be stoked if they do a new Soundwave. Ideally just like G1 but with better articulation, but I'll be happy if he's given a new alt mode too, as long as he looks like himself and has at least one minion.
It would be cool if the upcoming Ravage could store inside him.
Anyway, I realise this is all a bit airy-fairy at this stage, but Soundwave was one character I thought they wouldn't even consider doing since they released the reissue as part of Universe. So being wrong on that makes me a happy chappy

What we didn't know is that we would get a new g1 Soundwave, AND a voyager Rhinox!
I am very psyched for said Rhinox!

GetterDragun is right, We were already told that the Universe line will go on hiatus to make room for the new movie stuff back when the first wave was announced. Then it will come back after the movie line finishes.

Could get a Soundwave & Rhinox. This is just talk at this stage and far from concrete. But it sounds like, assuming Universe does go ahead in 2010, and I think it is likely that it will, a Soundwave and Rhinox could be on the cards.

Well this is the first I've heard that they're considering Soundwave, which is sweet! I wonder if they're considering using the Music Label mold... I doubt they would put in the electronics though.

I turned 40 this year and have only been collecting TFs for about 18 months - age makes no difference when you're still a kid at heart!
Personally I'd rather see Universe continue alongside the ROTF lines but we all know business never works the way the fans want.
PS this is my 1st post on Seibertron so a big howdy to y'all from Scotland!

I think this is unfair. I mean, I don't remember hearing about a Universe hiatus. Good to know they'll come back after ROTF, but not everyone heard about it.
Agreed. The new Ravage looks good, and I plan on getting him when he's out. I'd rather Soundwave be an update of G1 with better articulation than a new alt mode, though...

I just wish the movie could bring back any sort of masters or pretenders.

Voyager Rhinox! Sweet!
Now if only they'd done Dinobot as a Voyager!
Those two with the original Primal, Cheetor, and Rattrap toys would have come in roughly in scale with each other.

Alright, I want a G1 soundwave, don't have anything except animated and soon the movie. Hopefully, it will be very true to his G1 form, unlike Galvatron turning into a tank. I was hoping Galvatron would be the canon

Um, this happened during TF1. We haven't seen any new molds in a long time either, plus Hasbro has stated over and over (even at BotCon) that Universe is going to go on Hiatus during the movie.
