Dreadwing still looks good, if mis-transformed.

I'm also certain that I read somewhere on TFW2005 that he's also capable of having chicken legs. I'm probably wrong, but something to keep in mind.

Leave it to Dead Metal to have the word 'Pronz' in his signature.
It's a mix of both the G1 design and the IDW design. The head and legs are IDW-based, while the rest of it is G1 Whirl.Dead Metal wrote:Now here's the thing, he looks so very much like the original toy which along with its design is still owned by Bandai.
So wouldn't this be pretty much the exact same thing as all the 3rd Party figures by FP, iGear, and co, which are apparently so very very evil?
I still don't understand why this is based on the original toy instead of the idw design like most of the other figures, I thought Generations current incarnation was supposed to be idw.
That said I still think he looks epic.

The design of this figure and your argument completely deflates others' speculation that MP Soundwave could not be done because Takara/Hasbro do not own the rights to the original toy.

Last I checked Soundwave's original toy originated from Takara's Microchange toyline. If Takara didn't own the rights to that, we probably wouldn't have gotten an MP Megatron, or reissues of either of the originals for that matter.

That's a very important distinction, friend! And who knows whether they'll bother, with Quakewave already all over the place. Time will tell.

Not to stray too far from the topic, I don't think that has stopped Takara and Hasbro before.

Ah Shockwave might actually be a problem. I remember an interview from a while back in which the original owner stated that they wouldn't mind doing something with the mold again, being proud of what it influenced, but don't think they even still own the rights to it. apparently they're not sure anymore if they only sold licenses for the design or actual ownership of it, and they're not even sure which company might own the design now.
But I didn't state that HasTak couldn't do this, legally they can as long as it's not an exact copy of the design, otherwise Bandai would have sued them long ago for the Classics Jetfire mold. Just like Has/Tak can't sue 3rd party companies like FP.

When have they released a 1st party item right after the release of a similar 3rd party item? That 3rd party Masterpiece-scale Soundwave was never finished, and they certainly haven't made a Classics Sixshot. Nor has HasTak ever made anything Hearts of Steel-related.
(I do apologize for getting off-topic, by the way, but I'm honestly curious now.)
