I don’t plan on ever opening my NF version; it all looks pretty awesome in the packaging.
Plus, I’m not going to be completely surprised if we get a SS86 version.
Even though I almost think SS86 Rumble is an attempt to help the re-packed Seige Soundwave mold not seem quite as bad…
I remember Buzzworthy Kup, Cliffjumper, & even SS86 Ironhide.
On top of the fact that Soundwave is a top-tier character.
Doesn’t seem likely that all of the cassettes would get individual Core class releases—
SS86 Soundwave could be Leader class but packing him with Frenzy & Buzzsaw, while Ravage and Laserbeak are packed individually in later Core waves.
We'll have to wait and see with Soundwave, while we did get a reuse of the vw bee mold, that was in a completely different deco then what we had in the NF line. We have SG Soundwave coming up but that might just mean that the NF Soundwave deco is still locked away.
Basically don't expect ss86 SW but you can be pleasantly surprised if he does happen.
I definitely don’t expect it.
And wow, I knew I rushed that last post, but it was really poorly worded…
I don’t expect a SS86 Soundwave… But like I said, those figures I mentioned were pretty surprising. A lot of that surprise being contributed to the timing of their releases relative to their original releases.
And between the most G1 (non-MP) version of this character that’s ever been made was a relatively hard-to-get exclusive, the sheer popularity of this character, & his substantial role in the first part of the movie (who else was going to carry Megatron back to Astrotrain?)… It won’t exactly be shocking if a SS86 version happens.
Along with my idea of how to release almost all of the main cassettes— although I take back Frenzy & Buzzsaw being packed-in’s: give me Ratbat instead of Buzzsaw)— Soundwave would make a great Leader class release for SS86… Maybe not as exciting as getting SS86 Swoop. But other than Swoop rounding-out the 5 Dinobots, I’m sure there will be plenty of people that would be more excited about a new/mainly retooled Soundwave. After Snarl & Swoop, it would be nice and make sense to get a solid Decepticon release.
I personally would hope they can make his legs longer and get his proportions better, similar to Blaster.
And please, Hastak… Keep it going with the forearm panels!
No figure should have huge hollow gaps in their forearms!
But I get it… Who knows… Watch, we’ll get SS86 Core releases for Frenzy, Ratbat, & Lazerbeak.
But never a SS86 Soundwave for them.
