I love the idea, but the sculpt kind of bothers me. It looks great except for the legs and waist. I especially love the speakers on the legs, but I can't put my finger on it on why the legs bother me. The waist is just too small, I am not sure how the body could be tapered into it though.

I am a huge Soundwave fan, have nearly every incarnation of him to date... This is a huge PASS for me tho. He just doesnt look correct. Face is wretched.

I'm just not feeling this at all. I'm actually fine with WFC Soundwave so far as the character placeholder. Still waiting to see what PE's will look like.

I like it, but it's redundant unless the colours are different from Soundwave Blue and Soundblaster Black.

Yeah, I DO actually like BOTH head sculpts... I just wish they were sharpened up a bit. They look like they're sculpted out of clay, a bit... especially in the crest of the modern one.

The elbows, or lack thereof, are the deal breaker for me. But, I'm not sure I m going to like the PE version either. Glad I bit on the ML version.

You know, the more I look at it the less I like it. It suffers from the same things that piss me off about G1 Soundwave, it has the same poopy arms, the same leg joints and the same poopy proportions plus the same poopy articulation, just with more detail.

I wish PE would show us their version so that I can decide which to get.
Don'T feel like breaking up my planed WFC display just to have a classics Soundwave.

I really feel like I should be more excited about this guy. He looks like Soundwave. It appears there are multiple head possibilities. Alot of G1 goodness throughout, AND he holds G1 tapes. Yet, alas, I think I'm gonna pass. Just not....something. :???:

I have him preordered and will be getting him because he's Soundwave. He'll probably be grouped with other Soundwaves.

Exactly. Grouped with his fellow Soundwaves... kinda in the back where his knees and waist don't show... he'll look great! (Putting Titanium Soundwave WAY in the back.)

Kinda like what I did with my G1 cars... Ratchet and Ironhide kinda tuck behind with the 3rd party heads peeking over. You don't wanna see those guys knees either.

I love music label soundwave... but I guess my two minor complaints.... can't hold cassettes, and just a little lack of sculpted detail when compared with the rest of the Classics bots. (Even disregarding his smooth ipod-esque exterior)

Mind you, that's probably the most perfect we'll have for the near future. I do recommend him.

That is NOT a classic's-worthy Soundwave. Other than that He's fine.

Yeah, he's still a bit too G1-esque clunky to fit in with Classics, IMO.

Disagree with you all on Label Soundwave. He's perfect. Exactly like a Soundwave should be. The only thing wrong with him is that he can't fit the tapes into his chest cavity.

As for too blocky .... Universe Inferno can give him a run for his money.

I have to disagree. He's a perfect update in look, alt mode and articulation. Some fans even asked Hasbro at conventions if they could sell him with the electronics removed as Classics Soundwave.
Not caring about scale since 1984. Just like Hasbro.
