When he hits shelves here I am so buying him. It's really neat that his chest cavity can open up too. A really nice looking mold all around

Ditto.

Also maybe Hound's Ravage figure? or the original cassettes?

I kind of doubt though.

Little smaller than I hoped, but nonetheless says "Buy me; you know you want me" all around. I would have preferred at least some other weapon that was in the game, like Neutronic Repeater he used in several cutscenes. He is still a definite buy for me. Now I gotta make a shrink ray to get Bumblebee in the right scale....

Not surprising. Optimus Prime is the most common figure if you look at the packing ratio. I deleted my notes after I found everything I was hunting, but as I recall, if you total the first four waves of Generations figures, approximately 1 in every 3 Transformers is a WFC Optimus.

He can indeed. Forget where I saw the picture, but it's a decent enough version of the in-game look.

Wait, so this Soundwave figure is going to be a triplechanger?!?! Holy crap! This just adds to the awesomeness of the figure!

All I saw was his packaging, size comparisons, alt. mode and robot mode. No boombox-ish looking alt. mode in there. Either that or I'm just stupid.

should I offer my own opinion?

Can't wait!!! wonder if classics ravage could fit inside (probably not) otherwise awsome figure!!!

Well, looks OK, not entirely thrilled, but I'm still madly in love with this mold. Another dumb ass-ish question, but will this be listed in the instruction manual?


Just watch, they'll repaint/retool him into WFC Blaster. That's not a bad idea, actually....

I wonder if Cybertron Laserbeak would fit in his chest? Then again he may be to big because the Cybertron Soundwave is a voyager.

How did you convert Soundwave in that mode?

3rd place out of 4 doesn't sound like one of the better ones to me!

Want this figure, but can someone tell me if these are in scale with each other?

Unfortunately there not in scale as to how they appear within the game. still cool figures though

Although I could be mistaken, I own all four WFC figs as well as the game, and from what I see, Megs, OP, and SW are in scale. Bumblebee and the upcoming Cliffjumper are the only ones NOT in scale. In the game, Bee is only about two thirds the height of OP, and should be scout class to be in scale with the other deluxe WFC figures.

There are a few Youtube guides that show you how to transform SW into his boombox mode. Basically, you transform his arms the same way you would for his official armorer vehicle mode, but you transform his legs like you would for the Classics/ML toy. Just fold out the bumper "fangs" to act as stabilizers, and Bob's your uncle.

BTW, the boombox mode is an unofficial fan mode. It wasn't originally designed to be able to do that, but it just happens to. Kind of like how the GERWALK mode came about for the VF-1 Valkyries in Macross/RT.

IMO, even Soundwave's "accidental" boombox alt mode looks more complete and thought out than the first ROTF Fallen's bot-yoga alt mode. Wonder what that says about the latter...
