Weapon: Laser Scalpel
(morbidly curious if there are any mechanical details inside the head slices, like brain modules or the backs of the eyeballs; doesn't look like it though)



No brain bits that I can see. That's a missed opportunity.

Noticed that Lazerbeak/Ratbat's "face" is the USB charge port. It would have been super cool if a real cable could be plugged in.

Hasbro isnt selling it, Xiomi is, its their product, they are the owners. And they are only selling it in China.

Here's a good pre-order: http://tfsource.com/asia-exclusive/xiaomi-soundwave-gold/

Not the perfect price, but being able to go through tfsource is something at least...

Asia Exclusive Gold Color Edition

The title for the preorder is interesting. If this is the "gold colour edition" then maybe there's a "blue color edition"? Worth waiting to see if there's exactly the kind of product I want on it's way. :-?

Despite how he looks, he's remarkably sturdy. He's engineered like a typical Hasbro TF that can be abused and dropped unlike some of the higher end Takara TFs which I've had many break way too easily over the years.

Honestly, he looks more like a Gundam than a Soundwave of any kind, but to me that isn't a problem (I love Gundam-style mechs), just don't think it's Soundwave.

The head looks enough like Movieverse Soundwave to me.

The figure even comes with a little Laserbeak/Ratbat-esque winged minion.

That's my exact thoughts - bar the gundam part considering I've never watched it. It's an amazing looking figure with a great design and fantastic engineering; I just don't quite get 'Soundwave' from it.
I think I'll take to calling him Padlock. Badass name that hasn't been used before, it's derived from a Pad, most systems like these have security hence lock...

It's kind of an Autobot name though.

If I get one, I'll probably use the name Killfile. And the little partner guy can be called Natter.

nobody said it had to be G1 but the clothes make the man
you identify certain characters by the way they look, various configurations but still are
identifiable(this is not) are fine no matter what they turn into
if hasbro called this soundwave im sure you will be ok with it too:

I'm just saying it's as much Soundwave as the Movieverse one, maybe even moreso since this one not only has a Soundwave-ish head but actually turns into a media device, can physically integrate its minion onto its body, and has a rectangular window/screen-based chest. All of which are major Soundwave-y aspects that this figure nails down while the Movieverse Soundwave only has one of those aspects (the head).

I mean, what does it take for even the most radically-different designs to be deemed fit to be Soundwave designs? Prime Soundwave, for instance, is a far cry from the traditional Soundwave look as well, and of the above-mentioned aspects he only has the minion-integration aspect. His head, altmode, and chest all differ from the traditional Soundwave look. Sure, he's blue, but he's more solid blue than not, whereas the traditional Soundwave colors are a more balanced display of blue and silver together. This new Soundwave just goes in the other direction with using the silver as its main color, likewise with Movieverse Soundwave being silver.

After all, it's not like it's as wildly different-looking a Soundwave as this one was:

There is more to the Prime version than that:

Many of the "Transformers Prime" character designs try to work elements of the character's previous incarnations into their design. In the case of Soundwave, there are a couple elements fans will be familiar with from the G1 era:

-Soundwave's head sculpt is based largely on the Decepticon symbol. This includes the central crest with two points on top and the antennae like protrusions that angle out to the sides and the triangular shape of his face. This is quite appropriate since G1 Soundwave's face also resembled the Decepticon symbol (and may have been the inspiration for it).
-Laserbeak's ability to attach and "eject" from Soundwave's chest is a callback to his G1 self who was able to open his "cassette deck" chest and launch "tapes" that would transform into his own personal army including Laserbeak.

While nowhere near as obvious a homage as say, Optimus Prime or Wheeljack, I do give the designers credit for incorporating two such iconic elements of the character into an otherwise brand new design.
