Beautiful- probably the closest thing to a Leader or Masterpiece version of movie-verse Soundwave (I LOVE his design). Looks to be the best HA thus far.

Vehicle mode looks fantastic! But now that i have a better veiw of SOundwaves feet... :SICK:

Whats with the chicken legs? Looks iek this will be staying in vehicle mode for the most part for me!

The legs and feet do seem to be a bit odd.

Yeah I noticed that on the Deluxe two, neither of the legs used on em seem very movie-accurate. Deluxe has pretty Dread-esque legs while HA's just seem small.

Where'd you see the deluxe at?? I must have missed those pictures this week.

Sun Jul 24, 2011 4:02 pm

It was one TFW somewhere and I think someone had a picture around here too.
I'll try to get a link, hopefully their site isn't temporarily down.

Hope it's not too oversized or anything...

I was very excited to hear that there were going to be multiple versions of SW coming soon (as he deserves)! But, I am not completely in love with either. Since, there probably won't be any other renditions from the movie I'll still likely be getting both. Does anybody know when this is slated to come? Later this fall, or is this part of the early 2012 releases along with leader Megatron and Shockwave? Why couldn't there be a leader SW! He could be big enough to house the deluxe Laserbeak...I can dream!

I think it's for 2012, not sure though.
Leader would've been cool if they decided to have him be that big, turning into a car and all I prefer the HA and Deluxes but then again...BumbleBee got a Leader and he's a car...

Soundwave is looking really nice but too bad they didn't show the alt mode. Hope we get see leader megatron and shockwave in some other convention or some auction sites in the near future
:grin:

SW kicks ass, but I think I'll pair him w/ deluxe LB instead of thing he comes with

I think it's great that these two were paired up for the HA series, that way if you have HA Bumblebee with Sam you can pair them off and have Sam kill Dylan and Bee kill Soundwave! Movie accuracy!

We only have one staff member there, and he's doing the best he can.

OHH!!! why did you not say so? i do apologize

No worries, I was impatiently awaiting them as well!

I may have taken a peek at that other place you mentioned as well

Yeah, it was hard to do all the Transformers stuff when there was so much to do! It was full tilt geekdom for four days straight.

Sigh... The more i see those feet... The more it bugs me. I mean starting from the top he's just fantastic! Great head, cheast, and forearms. Then we get the down to the feet, and there just dis protionite to the rest of the body. His chest and forearms are nice and broad and full. The chicken legs sucks!

Mon Jul 25, 2011 8:43 am

I was really hoping more from this one, even more after seeing its robot form in the movie, which isn't at all as it looks in this one figure, specially but not only the skinny legs... I'm kinda sure the movie CGI was bulkier, and also, althought it doesn't quite is showed in these pictures, the back and arm kibble in this figure is criminal and I think this could be the least well finished of the HA line, only beated by HA sideswipe. BEST HA is still the late Jazz, followed by Barricade.

Sooooo glad I didn't open my Deluxe Laserbeak as this one is much better scale wise then that Giant robot looking chicken.

Can't wait.

Thanks for the vehicle mode pic Supreme Convoy. I want him even more for that vehicle mode. Yeah the robot mode looks a little odd, but I'm sure it won't be as bad in person.

I so want it just for the Mercedes alt mode.

Thanks again for the coverage Supreme.

There is one; it just wasn't shown on display. There were only pictures of it in the presentation. Here's a picture:

I think it looks pretty awesome. I'm not going to get the HA figure, but I'm definitely getting the Deluxe version.

Edit:You were faster.

Wed Jul 27, 2011 11:27 pm

I'm kinda feeling that way too

Does anyone else agree that he will be reprinted at pest twice for his G1 colors and Soundblaster colors? Personally, if they do, they might as well add more of the movie verse cassette drones like we saw in TF: Defiance so we can get more of a variety, plus they would make more money.
