He's looking like a deluxe, in which case, I'll sure get him.

I'm curious though why we're seeing so much of this figure, and nothing about any other figures, robots, or even a trailer yet. I want a trailer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Looks okay, though I really hope some of that kibble is mistransformed. Those big panels jutting off the shoulders like that are kinda awkward looking.

The face is most definately a movie-fied Soundwave though.

I actually really like that

SOUNDWAVE very BADASS...but please ppl don't judge him by the toy look how terrible megs leader class toy for that matter voyager toy looked...they looked nothing like the movie megatron....just remeber never judge a book by its cover the toys never the same as the movie, they have to simplize it in its toy version..its gotta have a logical transformation as a toy...if it was the same as the movie the figures would have to be huge and cost us way more money they try making these things cost effective in other words cheapened up a bit look how sofisticated black outs transformation was in the movie, not even close to the toy...with that said hes point on for a movie version.. my g/f even knew it was soundwave and she has literally only saw g1 soundwave a hand full of times..and believe me if she could tell then its a very reconizable soundwave...cause shes a TF idiot...doesnt know grimlock from sky lynx..so thumbs up from me

I am betting this is going to be a preview figure like the protoforms. I really liked the movie line over all, but I passed on the protoforms and I may pass on this one.

Dude, if she sees that post you are SOOOOOOOOOOO dead.....

Lookn good

I can easily see this in my collection! I think its like the pre-movie protoform prime/starscream, to get everyone hyped up about the movie. I hope they make some articulation in the hands, or a gun. Guns are good :mrgreen:

i am soooooooooooooooooo getting this! :grin:

not the best but i like it

by **Dreadwinglord** » Mon Nov 24, 2008 7:32 pm

One of the best Soundwave's so far in my opinion.

I don't like the feet they look silly and the hands are not articulated, don't like that. I also don't care for the colour, can't they make him more blue?

Its gotta be a protoform. The design just screams wave 1 deluxe.

The head sculpt is pretty spot on soundwave, but then theres no ravage or laserbeak. We'll probably be looking forward to a voyager class down the line, after these fill the shelves to get the hype going.

PROTIP: Don't judge today's toys by G1 standards. :-B

Ummm...what percentage of TFs, past or present, have articulated hands? Most leader class and larger and hardly any of the rest?

Not nearly enough, that's for sure. That being said, several modern figures do have things like wrist swivels or even balljoints. Take the Universe Deluxes, for example.

I'm liking him. He looks nicely Bay-itized to me. Kudos!

I feel like I've been punched directly in my eyeballs.

I swear, if it wasn't for Animated, I wouldn't even go down the action figure aisle.

These ugly movie toys have got to get out of my sight already.

Well, nice to see that everyone seems to love this thing....but imo, it is really awful. I don't think I ever really liked the movie figs. Everything in my collection has been opeded with the excpetion of my ehobby and misb G1s. Yet, the original movie line remains sealed in their boxes. Never did feel the urge to open any of them. I think they will need to be taken over to Carbomya one of these days.

I'll still go watch the movie ten times over THOUGH!! :-P
