Unnecessary. It also doesn't look so good neither.

I recall it correctly, even Frank Springer rendered Soundwave in one panel during their "reactivation" with a mouth in Marvel Comic's "More than Meets the Eye #1" then suddenly in the next panel............with a mouth plate. Go figure.
But in Jose Delbo's case, he might have mistook the curved beak like pattern in the original Soundwave toy's mouth plate as a mouth. he did the same with the Seekers having only one "ear"

Soundwave=check
Exhaust=check
Next in line? G1 season 1......Redesigned Megatron, Reflector, Shockwave, Insecticons, Coneheads, Dezaras?
Now that the cat's out of the bag, do you think Exhaust will also sport a hidden face?
The Coneheads and Reflector would be amazing, infact you can take my money now!

I think it's actually a hotlink countermeasure, as some sites (like TFU.info) don't like their bandwidth stolen.

Oh yes, kudos to HasTak for Soundwave and the cassettes. But we still need a new Megatron and an MP11-style Skywarp before we can check off those boxes, IMHO.
Really hoping for those next, followed by Reflector, Shockwave, and the Coneheads. How about a Coneheads 3-pack?
I'm surprisingly excited by Exhaust, too, but I'm more eager to round out the '84-'85 cast. I dunno if he'll have a face... He kinda already has one, no? His mask is more alien-face-like than the other masked characters, methinks.

Looking at mine, I raised his head and shined a flashlight into the open gap underneath his chin to see if there's anything in there, and it appears to just be an empty space behind his faceplate, one that simply exists to allow room for neck when his head is positioned to look downward. The reason for this seems to be that his head is simply engineered differently from Wheeljack's head.Coptur wrote:Hope someone has the soundwave/soundblaster to show off his face

LOL. They mispelled his name on the coin envelope. Engrish strikes again!
I think he looks great, just wish he came with two shoulder launchers like the toy had. But oh well, I can't wait to add him to my shelf.

Lol. Yeah. A guy I once worked with, who's in his late twenties, had thick handlebar mustache earlier this year. He goes through phases of having outrageous mustaches or outrageous beards... sometimes having both at the same time

How about MP combiner (like stunticons or constructicons) I know is too much to ask, but 3rd parties are on that already. IMO computron should fit perfect with Grimlock and shake hands with generations Metroples

Have been looking forwards to a new Masterpiece figure for a while now and my Wheeljack arrived yesterday. Thing is, Im usually pretty keen to get the box open and check the new figure out when I get home from work but for some reason that wasnt there yesterday.
I opened it up, checked for paint issues (none) and then set about transforming him. Put his various accessories on and then stood him on a shelf. There was no buzz or wow factor for me.
I dont know why. Maybe all the pics and video spoiled it, that would be my fault for looking. Maybe I'm done with collecting. Maybe just a bad day. Bumbleebee is next and pre-ordered so will see how things go.
