Thanks for joining the community kazmagnus. Welcome.

Seconded! Welcome aboard! Well thought out post too! I hadn't thought about the possibility of a protoform figure...that's a definite possibility...

This is what I was expecting for Soundwave. Even though you may not like it, you can't be surprised by the style. Quite frankly, I am surprised that the head even resembles G1 Soundwave.

Now I see it!!! Yes, I finally believe it's soundwave, thanks to those concept art comparisons. Plus, I can see his red visor thing that I was looking for in the blurr pictures.

Yeah, I mentioned that protiform/sneak peek theory the other day when this first posted. This figure, with it's cruder transformation and lack of detail screams early release figure to me.

Still looks like legos though.

If this is the real deal, I'm impressed. I likes.

I'm more convinced this is real..or just someone getting high on concept art and going all-out on a custom....

The toy



And the concept



So i guess that's the incarnation of Soundwave this time. Awesome.

Posted earlier here.

In this new image, you can clearly see three orbs on his chest as well as the "grill" form and "lights" on his stomach that ressemble those seen on the supposed Soundwave concept design leaked earlier. Though writer Roberto Orci specifically stated that Soundwave is not a pickup truck, there does seem to be some connection between this figure's design and the leaked Soundwave "truck" design.

To be perfectly honest, I will not say a bad word about what the bots have looked like so far. I didn't have any gripes about any of them.

As long as they get the voice to sound good (not necessarily identical to G1) I'm ok with whatever the new Bayformers look like.




side note: I don't intend to de-rail, but this question has been in my head since I started checking this site...

The green chevy has already been named "Tracks" per this site...Any chance the red one is Cliffjumper? sorry if this has already been asked and answered...

it is an OK fig but to me not "a dear got it sucks!" fig if it is real and if it is even sound wave i will get it.

Looks about right I suppose...the concept is clearly not the same as it has a chevy grill in its tum tum. I have no problems with any movie bots. The cons color schemes are just to grey tho. But no biiiig problems.

It's real. They started on Movie toys in/or around August and the first was Leader-class. If it isn't Leader-class it's a big Voyager and they're well into production already, also satellites are pretty damn big in real life. This is Soundwave though from what I am told.

It's blackout with blue orbs of EEEVIL! Fear for your lives!

noooooo michael bay you have ruined my childhood... raped it if you will, it has been raped and will never be the same. it will require conselling for decades and will struggle to form meaningful, healthy relationships with other robot franchises

I like the mold for the Fig and the movie but he looks like Soundblaster in the drawing. HE needs mor BLUE!!!!! and his face doesn't look like he has his face plate up maybe it pops up like Prime's. other than that he looks awsome.

One of the first things i'm going to make when i get one is to paint it entirely blue and white.

I don't know, the mechanical monotone was a big part of Soundwave, what made him recognizable. I think they need to stick with the monotone, but they can probably drop stuff like 'Soundwave: superior'.

Up so I can merge topics.

but Soundwave is superior. It'd be great if Welker could do SW's voice since he was snubbed for Megs
