Even with the sound off I can't stand this guy's ham fisted reviews. That being said I'm loving the look of Soundwave and unlike the brown plastic on blaster I don't feel the need to wait to see what Takara is going to do.

What do you mean by "ham fisted"?

He's so clumsy with the figures in his reviews and when somethings not going the way he wants it to he gets rough with them and basically starts hitting them (see skylynx and trailbreakers reviews). He also can't seem to hold anything still. He tries showing off a portion of the figure but in doing so he flails his hands in front of it and keeps spinning it around. It makes it hard to focus on anything.

Oh yeah, this was the guy that was randomly hating on Sky Lynx because it's not an exact G1 representation and the packaging wasn't as good as Takara's wasn't it?

Yeah. I saw the Soundwave review some days ago, and it was not amazing. It seems almost like he just glances at the instructions real quick before filming, and then tries to figure out how the hell to transform it on camera. As a result, it makes it less like a tutorial, and more like watching your dad try and transform it for you.
Also, did anyone see that video by the Toy Spot on Unite Warriors Devastator? It was funny because he made it look so bad.
I like to study my toys first before trying to film or photoshoot a review.

On a lighter note, I'm starting to warm up to TR Ravage; mostly due to the head. Which is nice because that mold was one of my few problems with TR (along with Laserbeak, Galvatron's mask and no targetmasters). Might actually pick it up though MP or Universe look to be better options for Ravage; then again, they are pretty small...
Unfortunately Laserbeak really continues to fail. He needs a LOT more red in his colour scheme; not necessarily in the same places as he had in G1, but just enough to evoke the character. The classic layout of Blue Soundwave, Black Ravage and Red Laserbeak is really taken down by quite a few notches here

Why is everybody waiting for blaster to go on clearance. He is the superior remold. Soundwave should be the one to go on clearance

Because I'm cheap and I don't want TR Soundwave. The mold isn't impressing me and I'm not in a rush to get it, so a sale would motivate me to jump.Bumblebee21 wrote:Why is everybody waiting for blaster to go on clearance. He is the superior remold.

Because almost no one is impressed by either version of the mold, and needs additional motivation to spend hard-earned money on it

None of the video links work. At the news page relating to this forum thread, the links are all broken.
Were they removed?

Posted this on another thread, but thought I'd post it here. Got Scourge yesterday and he was a total bobble head. This fixed him right up.
I have a very low tech, very low cost fix for Scourge's bobble head. I took a business card, colored it blue with a sharpie and cut little squares. Then slid them down the sides and back of the Titan Master Socket. Now he isn't a bobble head. Best part about it. If you need to redo it at some point, just pull out the old card stock and add new.

I believe he is the superior mold too. He looks more like Blaster (in both modes) than Soundwave looks like himself. That said I did buy him for a little over $30 US and I would not have spent more. He is not an impressive toy and just does his job and not much else. There is nothing original about his transformation and not everything is flush. He has more gaps than the G1 toy and the connector ramps dont sotre well in alt mode (they cause a lot of pressure). Thses very much follow the trend of the CW leaders like te Seekers and Megatron of doing an ok job at being the character, but being very simple in design and not awe inspiring.

This little bugger:

None of the Soundwave videos seem to work. I get the impression the negative comments here promoted the uploader to remove them, maybe?
