Yeah, but those are not as sexy (read illegal). I like to live on the edge "when in Rome and ****"

When in rome, you do as the romans
When in venice, your socks get wet

By the way, I am not too worried about getting this toy. I will wait it out, as I usually have. It being online exclusive and also being still a mass produced toy means there will be quite a bit to go around, we just dont know how long to wait till we know the best channels of purchase for all.

Well that's easy for us North Americans to say. I'll just wait for Pulse and click the pre-order button and get free shipping.

I will say that I skipped Elita at first until it was rumored that a full lady biner team would be released. I'm very excited to finish up the team. Would be cool if Hasbro went the CW route and released a legends class figure to go with them. I guess one of the non-combining Chromias will fill that support role.

Dogfight was available, and was glad to join the team

If any one s curious it tastes EXACTLY like what it says, it's just hard to imagine.

Pro-tip, bite off each end and use it as a straw for some milk and you'll get a slightly chocolaty milk.

Even more pro-tip, do NOT try that with orange juice...

Definitely gonna pick up Soundblaster. I kinda hope that Hasbro has a plan to release more cassettes in the second part of the trilogy or for the 35th anniversary subline like Ratbat and Enemy, with Enemy being repainted into Rumble and Frenzy

I wonder if we'll see an actual blue Bluestreak redeco as well. Perhaps in the Selects line?

A blue Bluestreak would be awesome.

I wish they'd quit it with the black Soundwave, if they wanna do a recolor, Hasbro should use the marvel colors and leave the violation of creative labs's trademark for takara in japan. Blah blah they don't do different decos across the ocean anymore , well, I don't care.

Violation of Creative Labs trademark? What are you referring to? And its only mass retail releases Takara and hasbro are synced on, I mean look at Star Convoy and the Seacons Besides I don't see a problem in referencing the reborn Soundwave from the headmasters series, especially with the remoulded front door

OS.. Why should he be colored like an error? Especially since it wasn't consistent and was only in the US comics.
Soundblaster, meanwhile, is a much more recognized alternate color scheme for Soundwave these days, with appeal on both across the Pacific and across the pond, and precedent in US toylines since Animated. And, in this case, comes with the spiffy "Hold two cassettes" feature.

Sir, please step away from Strada's remains with that stick.

One of the original sound cards for PC back in the day, along with AdLib and Gravis Ultrasound. And it's not a trademark violation because that falls in a different category.

Thanks Jelze, it would be weird to see them try to sue in that case.

Lancer looks like an Ally Viper, that 35th anniversary packaging isn't doing any favors showing how little of the box Bluestreak takes up.

How people easily forget the little guys:


Transformers Titans Return Soundblaster Gallery

They didn't chance it that time

Alright, thanks to Rodimus Prime, who sold me an extra of the wing/chest armor piece for Galaxy Upgrade Prime, and some Xacto trimming, I now have a window pecs piece for him that does not have the wings and cannons to get closer to Cybertron Prime's non-super mode look. Now all I need is a new head that looks like Cybertron Prime's non-super mode head with no faceplate and whatnot (as well as painting the forearms blue).

Fun fact: Siege Blackjack, like his CW counterpart, has a "chest minion" mode:

Not sure if it's been posted, but I'm digging Reflector's gun underslung. The way it's molded almost makes it feel like this was intended.


A really cool and fun figure.

More pics here.

Funny enough, so did my 2nd and 5th arrest warrant

Also, inspired by a conversation in another thread, have some Fused Monstrosities

They don't have chocolate Twizzlers in Canada?

Not that I know of.

Well I'm already planning on getting Bluestreak, so nothing new there. Soundblaster though...the only Soundwave/Soundblaster I own is the FoC Soundblaster, and while I love that design and I like the alt mode, the proportions do look off these days and it's annoyingly more of a charcoal grey than black. I've already struggled to resist Siegewave, if that Soundblaster looks as good as that tiny stock render on the box seems to make it look and it's an actual proper Nemesis-level black then I might be giving in and upgrading. I'm not buying Micromaster cassettes though, don't like Micromasters and I like my cassette characters in upgraded non-cassette forms better anyway.

Never apologize for being the smartest person in the room.

I still prefer the older Datsun brothers mold, so i will pass on him. Soundblaster hmmm...he will most likely be black with some gold detail, maybe he will even have the red tint on the tapedeck. Hard choice, classic wave or new wave.

Leaders are getting clearances.
