One very simple thing does make sense. Machine Wars Soundwave from Doubledealer. That mold hason't had a second use yet.

(Yeah, probably just wishful thinking.)

We just got Siege Soundwave reissued in Legacy last year and recently Mark Maher basically confirmed a few live streams ago (in April?) that the next Soundwave would be a new mold that matches the same size as Blaster.

Yeah, but when he said that, he was talking about Studio Series 86, not Legacy, which makes this listing even more odd.

If I may…
Leader Soundwave may just be Netflix Soundwave whose exclusivity to Walmart has apparently expired, and will include all his tapes to bring the price up.

Not a new mold in legacy.

Alternatively, it may just be Cybertron Soundwave.

If THAT'S really the upcoming Soundwave, I will laugh my ass off, drink the tears of those who wanted a Netflix Soundwave reissue, and preorder the sht out of it! :lol:

It's starting to look like a fairly big nothing burger for me, the only Bot I'm actively interested in is a new DLX Class Powerglide. That is about minibots that I want updated. Then I'm really wanting to see good close up images of Hound and hope that it's not that light in color as originally seen.

I'm thinking the intent was similar to my thoughts.

Soundwave does NOT need an all-new new Leader Class toy. They could re-release the Netflix one and it would be immensely popular. I think many of us think this still might be the case, just adding in perhaps a couple Casette minions to get it to the Leader price point ( Basically the exact same as what the Netflix release was previously) That is what passes for a Leader Class currently.

If it were to be an all new slightly larger toy, I understand the sentiment that it would seem to be a waste of time and engineering budget that could be better used elsewhere. Same goes for Springer.

I gotta say I'm kinda disappointed in Leader Armada Megatron. The new figure is smaller and quite frankly duller than the original. Definitely not worth leader price, it's barely a head taller than a voyager. The only things it has over the original are better leg articulation and IMO it scales better with the original Optimus cab. Otherwise this thing is a glorified voyager.

Thinking about it, I cancelled both of my preorders of Leader Armada Megs and Commander Armada OP. I already have the originals and both are displayed in the overflow room, behind more figures. So getting the updates is pointless.

...that is, until a sale happen.

Yeah I wish I waited for a sale as well. I don't regret it necessarily, because the new figure is a great display piece versus the original being the better actual toy, and I mainly just display my figures and not play with them too much. And I always loved Armada in all aspects. Toys, cartoon and comic. So new Megatron stays. :lol:

Dear God I hope that leg mode for Snarl is transformed wrong, it really looks bad.

That is a very red foot that Snarl makes for the combiner.
