Those are actually kind of cool. You get a mini-Prime & Soundwave that turn into decent looking robots, vehicles modes, and headmaster-head modes.

I don't even have a headmaster to plug these guys into and I am thinking about getting a Prime & Soundwave...

This might be a stupid question, but what are the circles on Soundwave's legs that make him look like Blaster?

Yes, but Soundwave is a microcassette recorder. He doesn't have speakers.

His Diaclone toy was a Microcassete recorder, however when Hasbro imported the toy as Soundwave they called it a cassette player/ radio even having the instructions letting you apply stickers that act as speakers onto his legs, also in fiction he's always been stated as be a cassette player or Radio, and his Titaniums toy even was a boombox.

Ok, yes, I know who Soundwave is. I'm saying that never in the history of G1 Soundwave - including his Titanium incarnation - has he ever had round circular speakers on his legs; stickers or otherwise. Only Animated Soundwave has those, and he's a car. It just seems like a really stupid choice.

He has always had speakers, sure they where never round like on this thing here, but then again he also never turned into a giant version of his own head.

Touche. I concede.

Hmm. I like these much more than I first did. It's nice to see some better painted versions and to see a bit more of what they can do. I like regular Soundwave in head mode the best and would consider picking one up if I decided to custom myself an MP Soundwave... but I don't really have either the time or skill for that so will probably still pass on all of the HMs.

Having said that, this is the first I've seen of the Infinity Warfare sets and I've got to say, I very nearly pre-ordered them both on sight. I'm getting quite into pimping some of my young, but growing classics collection and the array of pics under the Predakings got my imagination going. From the looks of it, you could mix and match the sets to put together a giant two-tone red/blue sword which would -might- look sweet with MP Prime - and another huge energon hammer for my City Commander wouldn't be sniffed at.

I think I'll sleep on it.

Does anyone know if this would fit on the Energon Omega Supreme? :-?

I figured since they're made for headmasters they might work. These guys look awesome; especially the evil commander. And I really need a head for poor headless Omega Supreme
