Transformers: Animated's website has just been updated with images of the upcoming Soundwave figure. There are 13 pictures in total showing Soundwave in both vehicle and robot mode with Laserbeak.

TFA.com states that the images were taken from multiple websites, so we will not be able to link them for you to see them here on Seibertron.com

To view the new images of TFA Soundwave that are available, go to the TFA Soundwave Web page.

Maybe I'll like it better in 8 months when they repaint it into Blaster.

Can't wait 'til they make Animated Soundwave as a character for Guitar Hero.

i like the figure its a little weird seeing transformer using guitar as a weapon i know it goes well with the theme of soundwave but it just doesnt look right for him.

maybe they will be another soundwave figure coming out sometime instaed of the toy company always doing there favorite making repaints and calling the figure someone differnt into a cassteplayer

I've been thinking about the guitar weapon. I was thinking about who else uses a guitar for a weapon and could only come up with two answers:

First one, the pilot in "Silverhawks". I can't remember his name. The second is Valahallan from the Justice Friends on "Dexter's Laboratory"...

On the other hand, it is really a creative idea and makes sense: if his weapon is bad sound, what makes worse sounds than an electric guitar?

Did I mention I'm a keyboard player?

still looks an awesome toy to me. on my must buy list!

Appearance-wise this is easily one of my fav. Animated figs. so far.
If it's a solid fig. I'll get 2.

Not bad but he looks too chubby

Robot anime (kinda) people, you should watch.

anyways i like him but i do have a problem with that piece that goes over his head to be the back end of the car, when you reveal his head it has that really bad looking hole idk it just looks cheaply made, thin plastic and all. Anyone else feel that way?

MUST. BUY. DECEPTICON. MUSICIAN.

Here you go First Aid, no google, no Wiki, I actually pulled this nugget out of the near endless supply of useless crap floating around in my head...Bluegrass! That's the SilverHawks characters name. And I'm glad to see that Valhallan was brought up cause when I looked at the pictures my first thought was "Sweet, Laserbeak is Soundwaves "Axe". Valhallan was the first character to come to mind when I saw the guitar shape. Being a metalhead, I'll buy this figure on general principle alone and my kids aren't touching it. I may actually buy two and give one the "Heavy Metal" treatment with some black paint, spikes and tiny chains. Better yet, get one of those tiny "Harley Davidson" bears with the leather jacket, chop the sleeves off, tack it on Soundwave and paint the Decpticon logo on the back of the jacket. It'll be the "Bruce Dickinson" of Transformers.

I have taken a total 180 degree turn on this glad. I am happy to say that I was wrong with my first impressions. This line...like Soundwave...ROCKS!

Yeah I'll be picking up two of these guys. One to paint the faceplate silver, & the other to Kitbash into Soundblaster & Buzzsaw. I LOVE this line. As long as we get Thundercracker too, I'm good.

Blue Grass!!! One of the only CowBoys I ever liked!

Yep Blue Grass, Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash, and the singer from Murdered by Death, and The Reverend Horton Heat...

Best cow folk ever!

The rest should just keep eating pudding.

Don't forget that transformersanimated.com is a fan site.

you know i am really looking forward to the new soundwave. its nice that they try to keep him g1 accurate while also throwing a little spin n him with the whole car alt mode. Now laserbeak is a guitar, i wonder if others like rumble and ravage will show up and what would they be.

Alright. I'm gonna be soo creeped out at night when a glowing cassette design is sending an eerie glow at me.

I love it. Can't wait! And I'm glad it's a deluxe, it'll be more affordable.

Nope. I don't like it. I like the concept but, execution to "dazzle" me is lacking. This particular aspect of the TF toyline keeps getting worse.
