One of the videos in the article has him next to MP-10, so check it out.

For those among us who don't have an MP-10, can you put that in perspective for us?

Feels engineered as a Hasbro product and not a Takara product. I find higher end Takara TFs can be pretty delicate and have had many things break off over the years.
My wife freaked out when she first saw it. She thought I had cracked my iPad screen.

Doc bot wrote:Here are a few rough pics I took while unboxing the MiPad2 Soundwave I just got in from China. Pretty impressive engineering since he's so thin. Packaged just like an electronic gadget rather than a toy which is pretty cool. I imagine this might even be the same packaging as the real tablet. Since his back is bare, it comes in a gold colored sleeve that initially makes him look more like the real thing. The instructions are in a cool Decepticon shaped book with 30 steps (he needs them all).
I can take some better photos later along with the lazerbeak part and guns. I just took these quickly for unboxing fun. Articulation is awfully limited by his unusual transformation.
Lazerbeak needs a bit of imagination to interpret. He attaches to Soundwave's back as wings.
It might be meant to be Movieverse Soundwave, who was mostly silver.Gauntlet101010 wrote:I do want this and I'll get it, but ...
Dammit, why doesn't it come in blue?

The head design still looks enough like Soundwave, and most like the Movieverse version than other versions.william-james88 wrote:If you watch the video in the first post they state that the name was given to this product after it was designed. They chose to call it soundwave because it was a communication device. Nothing more.

Well I am Australian. It's kinda what we're known for.

Well, they said "Soundwave would be the most suitable name for this product" which doesn't necessarily mean that name came after it was designed.

That means there were options and that was the best one. It most definitely means that the name was secondary to the product.
