That's one way of looking at it, though I think that they wanted to use the G1 molds so they invented the fiction to support their use.
This. Soundwave has switched bodies to support a modern figure (Botcon 2012 Soundwave) and/or suit a set of figures. They could have used a modern figure for whatever they wanted to do in fiction for Blaster too.

Except Soundwave had his Universe Ironhide body in fiction since 2009, a good 3 years before the toy was made. Happy accident, or deliberate future planning? You be the judge.
I'd still like to see how they're gonna explain him reverting to his original body though

And Blaster, Ratbat, and Slugfest have already been in their G1 body molds since their first appearances years ago.JelZe GoldRabbit wrote:Flux Convoy wrote:Mkall wrote:Sabrblade wrote:They're in G1 bodies in the fiction, so that's what they went with for the toys.

Take it up with Fun Pub, not me. They're they ones who gave'em these bodies.Flux Convoy wrote:Continually stating the obvious doesn't make you more correct. You know what I'm saying. I don't want or need G1 toys in my Shattered Glass and by extension, Classics collection. The fiction or toys could have been suited to other figures. I stated my opinion. You can't argue with an opinion. I mean you could but that's stupid. Why am I still repeating myself? For argument's sake, Device Label Blaster has been out for over two years. Not sure how we got to debating how long a mold has been out for a one off release that could have used anything or been any theme either. I'm not really clear what point was trying to be made.

I don't think so. Check the alt mode picture again. That faction symbol is obviously red and not purple in any shade, contrast or no.

I agree. That's not a monitor or contrast issue. It's nowhere near the colors they've used on his legs, which is much closer to the traditional Decepticon tone. There's daylight between the two shades they've used.
The stickers use a plastic backdrop just like e-HOBBY emblem stickers do, so they can fit with any color of Transformers.
It isn’t SG Soundwave without his headband! Because the sticker is folded and then connected together, it can be removed and attached over and over. Try it out on other Transformers, too!
With stickers based on the BotCon 2012 SG Soundwave, such as his guitar/rising sun insignia and Cold Slither band logo, you can decorate Soundwave however you like!
Applying SG Ratbat’s chest shields gives him an even more bat-like look!
Details like the restraining bolt applied by Cliffjumper as well as the Dinocon team label tie into the story of the Shattered Glass world.
SG Rewind’s leg and back stickers homage the G2 Gobots.
“VINNY’S MOTORS”…?
SG Ramhorn’s side sticker accents his gray details, giving him a more mechanical look.
Could this be a Beastformers crossover?! The Sunburst mark shines from Solarbot’s chest.
Who will be the villain of your SG army?!

My God, it's like they're actually trying to make this set as accurate to the fiction as possible.

He's had the hachimaki since it made its debut in March, 2009.

Oh... Oh! ...OH! I get it!
Because we both pointed out that Soundwave's had the hachimaki since 2009?

Still, I say it's meaningless. For all we know it's an error. I just checked his e-Hobby listing, and his premium sticker sheet is said to contain red Decepticon symbols and purple Autobot symbols among other stuff. Easy replacing them.
