BeautifulBeautifulBeautifulBeautifulBeautiful!!! Thank you for the the blue gallery Ryan!! I STILL have to pick this guy up. I guess I'll be waiting til November though. Still, this'll tie me over.

I so want this released without the electronics in the Classics 2.0/Universe line, but I don't think that it will happen, as they don't plan on putting the same charactor in both lines.

Of course, they said at one point that MP-03 Starscream wouldn't come to the U.S. either

Now if only they would release another version without the MP3 capabilities and at half the price I'd snap it up in an instant.
I still think the alt mode looks a little bland, but that's nothing that Reprolabels won't be able to fix.

I too want one without the mp3 capability at a decent price. They'd sell by the truckload that way in the new classics line. I love that he can press the button on his shoulder.

What disappoints me about this figure is you can't use the Convoy Ipod docking truck with him. I'm going to try him with speakers to see how he sounds. Anybody try that yet?

I did.

I went out and got a pair of 1 watt x 2 powered Sony portable speakers.

Then I copied a bunch of Soundwave clips and TF related songs (Stan Bush, etc...) to the 512MB mini SD card I got today.

The sound quality is ok. Nothing great, even a little "tinny" sounding. That could be the speakers though. The earbuds sound a bit fuller.

If you are looking for an MP3 player, get an iPod or something else. Other types are slimmer, can store more music, sound better, and are cheaper to replace.

If you want an amazing (Classic) Soundwave that plays music and audio clips (like Laserbeak...Rumble... Ravage, eject eject eject!) then look no further than Music Label Soundwave.

I am very please with mine. Very pleased.

Total cost:
figure: $85
shipping: $10
mini 512 mb sdcard $15 (1 gb were about $35 but 512 was enough for my needs)
external speakers $30

The awesomeness that is Music Soundwave - priceless.

I plugged him into my computer speakers. He sounded more bassy and fuller than my PC does, but otherwise he sounded fine to me
(and the speakers, external power supply, were probably one of the reason my battery lived for 18 hours.)
It took a little bit of fiddeling around to find the perfect cross between Soundwave's volume setting and the speakers' volume setting.

I think if had plugged him into my old Walkman speakers, he'd have sounded tinny, too, because those sound tinny per default.

Where did you find the SW TF audio files? Those would be cool to throw on in between songs and such.

So far, after 8 months, my wife still hasn't found a way to make her more expensive Samsung shuffle either, so I think I could deal if that's the only major complaint you have so far.

two ?s: what/how many batteries does it take, & is teh sd mini card required?

all i can find are asian versions? all the pictures i've seen from stores & other places have asian languages on the inside flap of the box, is it only available from asia? are there no plans for a US & CAN release? i heard they got rid of the white color versions to make way for black...do i need to worry about them discontinuing the blue after 2nd stock sells? let me know, cuz i got the cash ready for this...

PS. any word on other transformer players?

(last edit, sorry)
