Quality of N.E.S.T. Bumblebee vs. Soundwave 2 pack

I'm in a little bit of a dilemna here as I now have 2 redemption stickers but have yet to pull the trigger on the 2-pack needed to get the Recon Ravage. What do you guys think of it? I actually don't own any Bumblebees from the ROTF line but have both the standard 08 Camaro and classic Camaro Bumblebees from the first movie line. I kinda like the look of the helmet but the only person I asked told me the figure was pure crap.

I also already have the standard Soundwave and have been wavering about getting the TRU Gathering at the Nemesis 3-pack. Problem is, I really don't need 2-3 versions of that mold, especially given how shrimpy Soundwave is.

Any thoughts/suggestions? I am open to trading off my stickers for some minor consideration if someone else needs them.

My suggestion would be if you want to get the mail away Ravage than get the two pack. If you dont really like the figures once you get them you can always sell them or do what I am doing with BumbleBee. Turn him into Cliffjumper. As for Soundwave you are on you own on that one. I personally think that is the worst mold from the entire ROTF line. :evil:

I'm of a slightly different opinion.

I use all the various Movie Bumblebees not as Bumblebee, but as generic troopers - LORD knows there's enough of them. And I thus use the Shoulder Cannon 'Bee as the unit's Heavy Support.

As for Soundwave, the ONLY flaw IMHO with this version is that the upper legs are red, and not grey. The mold itself isn't perfect, but I otherwise love the color scheme.
