Is Bumblebee hold a gun is that a gun arm? Also, these better be premiums.

I need them both. NEED.
And I really don't see the issue with Bumblebee's head.
No one can just get over the fact it's a kids toy...

Since these are preview toys, will Hasbro make newer toys for the characters? I'd be glad if Hasbro release new deluxe Bumblebee mold, instead of buying the Human Alliance one.

I'll be fine with the first movie Bumblebees I have. Not digging that new weapon and I would probably get him for the new head sculpt if he didn;t have bug eyes. Oh well I save about $10 on that one.
As for Soundwave - his body in bot mode is just too busy however he won me over with his updated, G1 reminiscent headsculpt. Did the article say anything about when we can expect the preview wave?

Soundwave looks cool. I can see that as his Cybertron mode. Bumblebee is just an epic fail. That head sucks. Well that saves me about $20 since i normally buy 2 of each preview figure. Guess ill buy an extra Soundwave.

I am so going to be getting that Soundwave!

I'll prolly pick up Bumbles I'm a sucker for that mold. Soundwave I don't know yet I'll wait and see if they make an earth mode.

Yeah I hope I can see his (possible) earth mode toy first--if I like that better I'll only get that mode. Otherwise, this toy is looking pretty tough to beat. I like a unique alt-mode mixed in now and then (too often and its not unique!).

prolly march or april

I'm very cool with Soundwave as a satellite, have been from the start, and if he reformats into an Earthen satellite, ill be just as happy.

I love the tape deck but without mass shifting its not fair to the character to continue the G1 style.

Besides, I've come to understand the movies as a reenvisionment of the franchise, and not March of the Homages.

Though I still want a Grimlock dinosaur. The animatronic T-rex in Toys R Us in Manhatten would suit me fine.

Is... is someone sticking something up Bumblebee's arse?

by **Dreadwinglord** » Wed Jan 28, 2009 11:41 pm

I love soundwave, I dislike Bumble

Bumblebee looks like an inflatable doll.

I'd skip this one and buy the Voyager.

Soundwave looks great. Evil, scary, and his face even as a touch of the traditional look.

Bumblebee is alright, but I'll skip him, My movie 1 Bumblebee figures are enough for me. As for the face, I too hate it. I much prefer his "battle mask." I would have been fine if it had been the only face he had.

OMG!! A Decepticon Bay-former with *shock* HANDS!! LOL

But seriously, I'm hoping that the way they're going to play this is that as they spend more time on Earth that they start to develop more humanistic elements (such as the hands...).

Mind you, I'm not going to hold my breath.

Oh, and yay! Looooooong time reader, first time poster! Hazaah! Happy to be finally putting my 2 cents worth in! :grin:

If so, Soundwave better be in it, he looks awesome

i agree, personally my way would be to have what ever scenes in it then towards the end a space shot moving away from earth slowly revealin SW in his satalite mode with some nice satalite sound effects

Anyone else notice what looks like at least part of Megatron's body after getting the allspark jammed into his chest on the top soundwave's vehicle mode? I might just be seeing things but that's what it looks like to me. Also, first time posting in this forum, woot!

For those of you with issues about BB's face, just picture Barricade kicking 'Bee square in the "oil filter" and then tell me that that face doesn't go perfect with that mental picture. No need to thank me for that one, the pleasure was all mine.

Soundwave looks deliciously wicked in his 'bot mode. He'll look greast on my shelf where G1, Cybertron series and TFA Soundwave are already side-by-side. (still need to find a leather jacket for TFA Soundwave).
I wish I still had G1 ActionMaster Soundwave for the collection but this new one is going to top all of them for bad-assness, even the Cybertron series one.
