Egad! These are bloody awful.

I wonder who it was that decided that these really needed to be released in such a disgraceful style.

These look horrible! A shame because these are both great molds!

And as said, GPS + clear plastic = a recipe for disaster.

Also, why is the E in Soundwave so far apart from the rest of his name? "SOUNDWAV E"? WTF?

I agree. I'd like to see that.
I have been into transformers since 1984.
While I love G1 I also love new innovations and takes on the characters.
I prefer official Hasbro releases of stuff for the most part
I'm not a huge fan of Japanese original Transformers media or designs.
It's easier for me to say which are my LEAST favorite toy lines: Beast Machines, Robots in Disguise.

That looks awesome when was that released?
2004. Was first a KB Toys exclusive sold under a subtitle-less "Transformers" label, but was later rereleased as a Dollar Store exclusive under the 2003 Transformers: Universe label.

...until you shine light through them!

Though that hardly outweighs the fragility (the animal cassettes are gonna' look and crumble like rock candy) and the missed opportunity to paint all 5 cassettes into MP versions of different characters.

And yet...clear "stealth mode" Ravage actually makes perfect sense.

Sure you could pretend they all just used Decepticon invisibility spray...if you can stand thinking about Attack of the Autobots, which I can't, seeing as it's David Wise's first and worst episode, making it hurt so much worse than a lousy throw-away episode by a writer whose later work didn't define the G1 cartoon's mythology.

I have never been more thoroughly on the fence about any TFs than I am right now. It gives so many fans what they asked for: more MP Soundwave and friends! And yet, while it doesn't miss the mark, it just sort of grazes it. My buying it may hinge on whether it actually shows up in TRU, and how long it hangs around.

Thanks I can't afford the electric bill of a Batsignal so I'll probably pass on these.

If that happened I'd possibly find a way to repair the figure most likely find a method of curing gold plastic syndrome which could be gorilla glue /crazy glue but that could be debatable....

Gold Plastic Syndrome is when the plastic doesn't mix properly, resulting in a brittle and extremely fragile toy. Just gluing the piece back won't help, and may just make it worse. Even if you do, the plastic is still brittle and extremely fragile. Besides, I highly doubt you can glue together tiny, sharp fragments of plastic, assuming it doesn't just crumble to dust first.
Also, toys with GPS typically have noticable swirls in the plastic where the dyes and stuff didn't form correctly. These guys don't have that.

I really don't see the appeal of "clear" figures. It makes a modicum of sense if the character has the ability to become invisible or cloaked or whatever...but that's not something Optimus or Soundwave are known for.

There's a first time for everything.

After all, Soundwave's a spy, so invisibility/cloaking could be of great use to him.

For Optimus, he could represent the other popular function of clear figures: A ghost.

Unless the Year of the Dragon, Year of the Snake, or Year of the Horse figures had some sort of fiction explaining the color choices, I think we can safely assume that the color choices here were for the heck of it.

I'm cool with that, but just sayin'. :P

same. you cant go wrong with a laser prime. and that soundwave kinda reminds me of the linkin park G1 reissue. my only complaint is that the clear to bronze plastic ratio seems a bit off. i hope the clear stuff isnt just clear. id like to see some paint apps.

as it is, i have two running MP displays: the normal one, and the crazy variant display (comic, diaclone, black, year of ____, ect). it works just fine for me :D
