According to BigBadToyStore, "The addition of Lazorbeak to the MP-13 has increased costs by 31%." Is that a **** joke?!

This is the most accurate lazerbeak we've ever had and I love him! Looks like it was ripped out right from the 1988 movie and is a must have for any true collector.

I have a whole cassette collection thing going on, so these being backwards compatable is a thing for me.

Acousticwave has been cancelled for some time now. The company making it has gone under.

Looks to be about a head shorter than Optimus, so he's a decent size.

I think this guy might just be perfect, I'll take two!*

*Not really, but I still want the hell out of this guy!

I definitely remember his hand turning into that thing in an episode or two, can't remember which episode or what it did, though. :oops:

The thing he electrocuted Skyfire with? :shock:

Man, that might actually be it, thanks!

Almost perfect Soundwave for me. He is a bit blocky but thats what he is like. Can't wait to see other minions.

I already had my preorder in from day one so my price is $159.99, only $20 more for Laserbeak. That's a price I can live with!

After seeing this, I'm definitely holding on to the BBTS pre-order.

The small chrome hand extension, is from the G1 cartoon, He shoots someone out of the sky with it. I can't remember any more then that.

The Cassettes look like platinum with a shot of plutonium.
Awesome is to weak of a word to use to describe this.

Knowing there's a Frenzy/Rumble mold, I'm immediately sold. But the question remains; will the Universe Ravage that came with Hound be compatible with MP Soundwave? :???:

Thu Jun 14, 2012 2:54 pm

I have no gripes what so ever. This SOUNDWAVE IS LEGIT. Come ooooooooooon december!

News Credits: 17 · Thu Jun 14, 2012 2:56 pm

It looks like Laserbeak's gonna have the camera that comes out of his head, check out that joint! couple that with the fact that his cannons are integrated in the transformation, I think he's way worth the 30% price increase!

With all of their investment capital used on not 1 but 2 products that would no longer have any value, it's no wonder. I hope they manage to rally and get on to other products.

(Before anybody asks, they made two totally different Soundwave prototypes.)

"Colour superior, grey in grey inferior!"
Yes, we have out first colour picture of MP Soundwave, Laserbeak, and the accessories that will be included!

Megatron Gun
Alternate tape deck
Empty Energon cube
Cassette case
Small chrome part (this could be the electronic shocker he used a few times in the cartoon, like for reactivating Skyfire)

But that's not all!

The picture also reveals three more cassettes, two are new molds!

Buzz Saw
Ravage
Rumble/Frenzy mold

As you can see from the watermark, it's from TFClub.com's weiboo blog.

Hell yeah, that is what I have been waiting 20+ years for

Thu Jun 14, 2012 4:01 pm

All of everything, I want... Hasbro, make this happen, bro!

Thu Jun 14, 2012 4:16 pm

This was worth the wait. Let's hope we don't have to suffer 2 years of "Lambor" re-paints before we see Wheeljack or Mirage.

I recant my earlier comment 100%. Soundwave superior, Acoustic Wave inferior. Godddamn that thing is sexy. Minions soon after MP13 please. Still not fully convinced by the way the legs connect to the body but that is a minor niggle.

So it turns out i'm going to pay what ever it costs it's pretty much impossible to even think of passing on this .

Laserbeak looks suitably Masterpiece, but Sideswipe and Soundwave look like Alternators or DX grade toys.

Yes please..

I wonder how tall he is?

and as usual, there's a nay sayer. lol.(lol denotes sarcasm, not fight picking*) sideswipe had an alternators figure.. and it absolutely blew. soundwave looks perfect. absolutely perfect.

i wonder how they're going to release the other cassettes.. in the same package as soundwave? as an exclusive.. as an extra set.. ?

That was never confirmed, and if you look at the 2nd page of that topic, there's a brief explaination from Sidecutter regarding some difficulties related to getting the product out.

I'm thrilled Takara is producing MP Soundwave, but will still consider picking up an Acoustic Wave if it were released. Besides, this group also teased a prototype MP Blaster. How long do you think we'd have to wait for an official release of that guy?

For me, the more the merrier.

agreed, the more the merrier indeed.

.. i wouldn't pick up acoustic wave. what sold me on the takara version is the legs and the feet.

i would love an MP blaster.. i just hope we get one later rather than sooner. i'd like to see them give us a prowl and his brethren next (as far as autobot cars go). next i'd like to see as far as major characters is megatron, galvatron, ironhide, ratchet..

Still clamoring over an Acoustic Wave? Wake up and smell the roses, Takara's here.
