I can't tell if you guys are joking around, and I say this as an old dude but...you do know that back in the day tape decks were also radios right? A lot of the time anyway.

True, but Soundwave isn't a tapedeck either. He is (and always was) a microcassette recorder, so technically he shouldn't have any AM/FM (or MP3) capabilities (unless of course they made him into a modern voice recorder which uses no cassettes and instead records digitally).

Anyway, it amazes me at just how much Has/Tak appear to be actually LISTENING to the fans these days.

The Club seems to be getting their act together, and is offering some sweet figures as their exclusives from what I've seen so far (must have BIG BLUE CONVOY!!!) and now these MP's that are just soooooo perfectly G1 (starting with MP10 and now these). It's an awesome time to be a Transformers collector. I was getting worried when my passion for Prime was dying down and feared there'd be nothing more that I wanted to collect, then Takara pulls the rabbit (Soundwave) out of their hat and I'm hooked again.

If things keep going this way, Takara is going to be getting a lot of my money over the next few years and I'm going to have quite an MP collection.

I want that clear purple Bumblebee to go with my clear purple Cliffjumper too, so I hope BBTS carries him (I am such a sucker for clear purple plastic :P).

So Soundwave, more or less is as tall or a bit taller than G1 Soundwave? Maybe on scale with Broadcast/Blaster? Sweet!

Yet another figure squeezed out of the PRiD Bumblebee mold! At least I might get this one.

I'd say he's quite a bit taller than G1 SW.

Is it my imagination or a trick of the light or is one arm thinner than the other?

it does look like his right arm is bigger, but I'm betting its from the picture angle.

**** YES! G1 compatability! Hopefully the tapes can fit inside G1 SW too (in all likelyhood they will).

Loving the tapes. Ravage shows potential (it doesn't look transformed right and it's only a prototype). It's a shame those Energon cubes are an Amazon exclucive. I mean, I wouldn't pose him making cubes, but even so.

Awww yeah I'm so glad I chose not to get Hasbro's RID Megatron. This one looks so awesome in every way! Vehicon's alt mode is not bad but his bot mode looks perfect anyone's army. It would be cool if some 3rd (I'm thinking Dr. Wu) would come out with a new head for this new Terrorcon and not just another BB.

Seriously, they hit it over the wall, over the crowd and into the lights with this one. Out-freakin'-standing! :DANCE:

But he can't be used as a real radio [-(


Have you ever once noticed a station dial on Soundwave? No? That's because he's a tapedeck! Still perfect! :P

You know who I was making fun of ;)
MP Soundwave is quite possibly the best Transformer we'll be getting this year.

Well, looks like Takara is now on the endless-repaints-of-Bumblebee boat...

Although it's an awesome deco, using it as a zombie version of Bumblebee seems really strange.

YouTube user masainjapan2008 has uploaded video from Takara's presentation at the 2012 International Tokyo Toy Show. The presentation features many upcoming Takara products including their recently revealed Masterpiece figures.

Wow, Soundwave looks like he's everything most of us have ever asked for. And I'm calling it now: SDCC'13 Exclusive Masterpiece Soundwave. The timing would be right and Hasbro knows, just like the SDCC'11 Grimlock, this release will bring in the fans in hordes.

No, that's Takara trolling those who saw the Soundwave shadow and believed it was Shockwave, because it looked "nothing" like Soundwave. :lol:

Not just that, he is now 1000 times larger than Optimus Prime!

It happened at the beginning of the MP13 presentation, since nobody was supposed to know which character it was. They showed an image of Shockwave and then showed Soundwave next. It was a gag by the TT staff, according to these people. So it's not a Photoshop job. The image is still at http://twitpic.com/9x0s5x (Snakas twitter)

It could be Takara being like "hey, let's give them a hint about the next MP" or "let's make this funny and show them something we'll never do".

Somebody at the above forum said that when it happened, the crowd was like "ok, ok... we already know it's Soundwave" and moved on. It was clearly a joke, but you never know.

Also the TT staff mentioned again that they want to do combiners. But we already knew that.
