strange

not too impressed but those are some really rough photos so they may get refined along the way. Going to hold my judgement yet but I know I want the Soundwave for sure.

As nice as could reasonably be expected for life size ear-phone transformers. I'll probably pick them up along side Soundwave.

There's just something amusing about those earpieces to me. They also remind me a LOT of the Mini-con Dead End.

Seriously though, considering what they have to work with and since they are fully functional, they look pretty cool.

That has to be the stupidest thing i have ever seen.

Ill be buying the hell out of them as long as they actually work.

The photo is rougher than a badgers arse but I'll get them to go with soundwave

Front Paged and Credited.

I like them, they kinda look like the eggbots. I was ironicly reading the GIJoe/Transformers TPB (Jay Lee and John Ney Reiber) last night and when I was looking over the sketches at the back, I was thinking to myself that I wouldn't mind the headphones if they resembled the sketch of Rumble.

One thing's for sure; they'll definately get attention if someone wears them on a subway train.

Too cute!

I'd get a set if it wouldn't cost me a small fortune.

They are the kind you shove in your ear? So we are going to have to shove rumble and frenzy uncomfartably in our ears and get earwax all over our transformers... Interesting. Still already have Soundwave on preorder may as well get Rumble and Frenzy.

...that is all

Yeah I wish they were like the ones Sony released for the PSP. They wrap around your ear but have no head band. Would have given them more to work with as well.

Those are pretty cool; but I want to see them in use by someone(i.e. a pic of someone actually wearing them) before I get too nuts about them. I'd probably keep these at my Desk, to be honest. These wouldn't be general-use at all.

RIB/FIR!!!

Does anyone else find it any bit amusing that they're attached to each other in robot mode? Like they're on a leash with each other.

Hmm, nice idea but how practical can they be? Earphones have a tendancy to get broken or damaged simply cos they are on the end of a wire that can swing about and smash into stuff.

I have a problem with them. They are working earphones with poor transformers built in, which doesn't make them all that interesting as Transformers. I doubt the sound quality will be up to much with the design having to incorporate the transformation. If they didn't work as earphones they could probably have a better design but then who would want a pair of fake headphones hanging about?

While I can see the worth of MP3 Soundwave (I want one) I just don't get these. They are little more than a novelty.

they are gonna be worth it for about 20 quid

News Credits: 1 · by **Redimus** » Wed Feb 21, 2007 4:31 pm

Cant say Im masivly impressed by them.

May get em if i get Soundwave, just foe completeness's sake, but I cant say I think they're a particualy brilliant idea.

by **Uncrazzimatic** » Wed Feb 21, 2007 4:48 pm

I can see myself getting and them, and setting them 'free' with a pair of scissors and something to fill the holes left by the wires....

but then I remember the price, and it doesn't seem worth defacing a pair of headphones.

I have been wondering when pics would surface of these, and to be honest I'm not that impressed. But I'll buy them along with the Soundwave. I can't wait for colored pics.

News Credits: 3 · by **ShGarland_1383** » Wed Feb 21, 2007 5:21 pm

No clue what to make of these yet. I wanna see better pics than this before I form an opinion one way or another.

by **Grimshock** » Wed Feb 21, 2007 6:38 pm

Yeah, not real impressive.

by **Dclone Soundwave** » Wed Feb 21, 2007 7:00 pm

Look! It's Dead End in Rumble & Frenzy colors! Well, color remains to be seen, but I can assume that one will be red & one will be blue. If not, they'll be hell to pay.
