Still a little... Oddly shaped. Not a fan of this massive headmaster nonsense, though.

Probably due to the helmet; unlike blaster, who had the visor attached to the helmet, soundwaves appears to be molded in his headmaster, thus leading to a bit of strange proportions

Blurr I can handle, Soundave I cannot. He looks like he just saw something that made his tape deck skip..

That thing looks like someone took apart a G1 Soundwave toy, then gave it modern articulation and gimmicks. I love it.

No matter what the size class is, that thing looks terrible.

Given that the news article did not provide it, here is a better image:

And hot on the heels of the official reveal on social media, we also have digital renderings of Titans Return Leader class Soundwave, in robot, base, boombox modes, plus his tiny Headmaster Titan Master self operating the base, and some artwork (probably based on Emiliano Santalucia's design work). Check it all out mirrored below!

There's a few details there that don't exactly scream Blurr, but then again they're probably going to re-use this someone along the line.

The rumour is they will reuse this for Brainstorm. I dont see how that is happening, but that's what the transmissions podcast said.

They could possible, if they could move the part of the vehicle where the gun is back over the rest of the side and stick a pair of wings on it.

That stereo mode is pretty terrible.

Pass.

This would look SOOO GOOD if it weren't for that tall visor. Just a bit more paint to elongate the faceplate and it would be perfection.

Wait, is his Titan Master colored like Music Label "Sonic White" Soundwave (but in gray)?

Actually, he kinda looks like SG Soundwave, but with gray:

Well, it's still possible that whomever took the pic didn't plug soundwaves head in all the way, the render shows how it should look, so, that's a good sign.

Oh. At least the TP guys weren't wrong.

Va'al wrote:Not entirely surprising given the existence of Blaster, but still fairly out of the blue (heh), the Transformers Facebook page has just revealed a full-colour image of the upcoming Leader class Titans Return Soundwave figure too, which shares the same base mold as the Autobot communications specialist! No more information at the moment, but check it out below, and let us know what you think in the Energon Pub.

Presenting: the Leader Class figure of our favorite recon expert.

The person who created that graphic definitely chose the wrong picture. His face and legs are oriented in a way that makes him look way worse than he should.

This pic is way better:

Since when was Hasbro known for good stock photos anyway?

Takara, please save this mold with some better paint apps! Though, even then, nothing can fix the dodgy "boombox" mode.

I'm hoping that Blurr is just a test shot too. The blue is all wrong, and there is almost no paint detail.
