What do you think of the HA Soundwave ..thing?

I like it he looks cool but I'm going for the deluxe and Cyberverse version

In other news my TFC Heavylabor showed up today but i was out :BANG_HEAD:

also My Prime Pre-orders from Kapow have been shipped =P~

Not a massive fan of Cyberverse.
I love Hatchet, and I have the other two Dreads, but I really don't find any appeal in the others.

Although Guzzle might be fun, if he ever shows up.

I'm also waiting for the Deluxe Soundwave.

Deluxe sw is a win for me but the ha just looks too out of proportion. and his face is like coloured in mushy peas. the only thing i like is the laserbeak, but even that, upon closer inspection, is a bit tacky. sentinel, jackie and soundw are all i want from dotm now

I do not want HA soundwave and his tentacle feet, keep him away!

idunno about ha sw. the vaguely-in-scale laserbeak makes it a little tempting, cos i doubt they'll make a cyberverse one.

and hang about-PhD?
IIRC what a PhD is then you would have to change your seibs name to "Dr Va'al".
just because of the awesomeness that would ensue.

You should demand people call you 'the doctor', va'al, seriously

Hey all!

I dont think ill be getting any of the TFC Toys stuff for a very long while, theyre a little pricey. Though, from what I have looked at, theyre pretty awesome

, I do like the blocky-ness of them, and I look forward to having them one day. Unless a day comes when I need to sell it all like Ive seen quite a few people doing

, sad times.

As for the new Soundwave models, theyre no giant cassette player! Where do the tapes go?! In the tape player in the car? Soundwave is no car

. And not sure about the tiddly-winks stuck to his arm, lol. Obviously I still want one though as its a transformers, but probably only get him if I find him cheap. I way prefer the older versions of everyone. Sometimes change is not a good thing, but I guess it wouldnt really fit in with the movie, lol. And some of the new versions are to spikey (and yes tenticley wasp).

Yes Vaal, you did get into that quite a bit. I think I would put it somewhere inbetween literature and not aswell. I can imagine it gets very 'heated'. Does sound interesting! If I am around Norwich, no idea why id be there but I might be, I will look up your talk

. Ive read some Fables, and Maus is fantastic. I will look at some of the others! League of Extrodinary Gentlemen sounds good, love those guys

.

I know they don't transform, but does anyone collect the robot heroes? I have some duplicates going, but they may be common ones, I dunno. I still think they're cute

.

And do we actaully have any doctors of interesting things here?

If all you've seen is the movie then put it from your mind. It's a not a touch on Moore's original comics.

I love these little guys. Not missing many, still on the look out for G1 Prime with Matrix, Slag/Snarl, Gnaw/Sharticon and (obviously) Prowl, Laserbeak, Star Sabre and Deszarus. Missing various movie ones as well but not too bothered about any of those.

no, I'm pretty sure I did, this is why I don't understand all this "unreleased" malarkey

News Credits: 6188 · by **Va'al** » Thu Nov 17, 2011 3:53 am

I'm getting annoyed at the pictures released of Deluxe Soundwave.
Because as someone pointed out, they either mean he was mis-transformed in the first place, or he always has been since.

And I just wanted Soundwave, not the object of a controversy..!

Weird, I didn't think we'd even seen box art for them. If they are out there in the wild then somebody has them and they shall be mine.

My transformers Prime Voyager Bulkhead and Deluxe Bumblebee arrived today and they are awesome

Hm. Am I jealous?
Kindofjealous.
Not really jealous.

Kindofthough..

I'll wait for them to come out at actual retail, even if it takes another year, though.

no, that's called perspective.
deluxe cards are taller then voyager boxes anyway already

by **Magical Trevor** » Fri Nov 18, 2011 9:24 am

Congrats on the Prime Figures!!! The packaging looks nice

. But to be honest though, I would rather they went back to the old 'box and polystyrene' jobs they used to come in. Im not a fan of the whole vaccum formed packaging. Is there a shortage on polystyrene

. Im assuming its because they can fit more in a box for transporting I guess. Still, If I ever invent/make toys, box and poly it will be!

As for getting them, Im not to bothered to be importing them from afar. Mainly due to the cost!! I can wait

. Im sure it wont take that long to release them over here (nudge nudge UK Hasbro!!!). Why not just do a global release? It couldnt be that difficult could it? Europe is preeeeeeeeeeeeettty big, I think we deserve it.

Going back to the robot heroes, Ive only really ever looked at them at boot sales, and waaaaaaaaaagh, im also looking for those! If I do happen upon some (highly unlikely) I will gladly share the booty with you. The duplicates I have are pretty much movie ones i think

. Though I do buy any I see, cant go wrong for 10/20p a piece! I have the transformers attatickx aswell, but a few are missing missiles. Never played it either

.

Hope y'all are well!!

Polystyrene destroys the environment trev, sorry about that...

by **Magical Trevor** » Fri Nov 18, 2011 10:21 am

Unfortuantely so

. As with alot of packaging! Buuuuuuuuuuuuut if everyone kept it in the box like they should, Im sure it would all be fine! (I hate seeing polystyrene littering the landscape!).

Orrrrrrrrrrr, new plan, make the inlays out of recyclable plastic?!?! And then get packagin them again in old box style to put them in

. That sounds better!

I'm pretty sure the end of a previous life of mine was due to some sort of polystyrene incident. I can't stand the stuff, the sound it makes induces panic and nausea. I'm not being dramatic, I'm being absolutely honest. Just thinking about it is making me feel cold and sick.
