We knew that new stock pictures of Activator Soundwave would come soon enough, once we fond the Optimus images the other day. We have them now and you can see the finished product that should be appearing in stores later this summer. These images, found on Amazon, show what happens when you plug in Laserbeak into the vehicle mode. Enjoy!

Remold the head, redeco it, and you got a decent RiD laser OP or RiD Scourge (fitting since he's from the real RiD)

HasbroToyShop.com has listed Transformers Optimus Prime 3-in-1 Fun Foam on their site. The product description helps to clue us in that this soap is intended for kids. The dispenser does seem like it is meant to look like Optimus Prime is shooting bubbles out of his mouth when in use. Hopefully this will encourage kids to use soap rather than create a mess by launching foam all over.

"Autobots have arrived on our planet for one more mission. Optimus Prime and Bumblebee are here to help kids get clean and have fun in the bath tub, shower, or at the sink."

Why does it look like he's going to shoot a little tentacle at me and drain my energon?

First Godbomber, now this. Looks like an influx of screaming TF products lately. :lol:

Huh....

Well, it's not so bad. Think of it this way guys. Now you can half-transform your G1 Megatron into this:

And, well...you can "fill in" the "blanks".

I spent the majority of my time while writing that article trying not to laugh at the idea of Prime barfing up soap bubbles. Glad I'm not the only one.

If you like KO and Breakdown I'd recommend reading the windblade comics. They become conjunx edura.

The new version has some added plastic to the otherwise entirely lightpiped facesculpt, adding the traditional faceplate, and a different pattern on the scanning sticker. Check it out for yourselves in the images below!

Just found at Target in CT. The packaging datestamp is 70161, the same as the plate-less version on the pegs with him.

It's a new addition to the plastic of his face.

Took me a bit to find it but someone on Tfw2005 added some silver paint to his soundwave on the face where it was raised up and itseems to match the faceplate variant So I am sure it is paint like people suggested

You can see in the pic that the blue-mouthplated one is MOSC. How could it be painted while it was still inside its unopened packaging?

And that the pic show the mouthplate to be seamlessly molded to the head's cheeks, whereas the silver-painted one does have noticeable seams between the silver paint and the blue plastic cheeks.
