Alfes 2010 has been a busy guy today! He's now uploaded a gallery of Takara's DSM DD-09 Human Alliance Soundwave with Dylan Gould and Laserbeak. The full gallery can be view by clicking here.

No matter how many times i see it, i wanna puke!

God, the colors, the legs, really disappointing. Dare I say the deluxe version is superior?

Absolutley LOVE the license plate though, awesome nod to G1ers.

Waaaay too small in botmode and the paintjob sucks so i pass.

Wow!, just Wow!. This thing is really really bad. no paint, drab gray, massive backpack...

I look at HA Jazz on my shelf.

I look at this.

..nope.

Thats just sad. Between the lack of a proper foot/feet assembly and that radically smaller size compared to other HA's, I'm gonna have to keep on walking.

Sp, definitely been down sized. All that kibble on his arms, they couldn't use some of it better to make him larger in robot mode?

PASS!

I really really REALLY want to like this thing. I'll forgive the lack of the paint-that's par for the course these days. I MIGHT be okay with the legs if there weren't any parts to make them from. But the entire car is on his shoulders! Plus his head sculpt is weird-the visor seems too low on his face.

wHy My ShOuLdErS hUrT?!

Maybe, but it looks tacky as all hell. They coulda at least made it look like an actual personalized license plate instead of just a cheesy banner.

This figure could have been so great...

My wallet shouts for joy. Pass on this, waiting for deluxe version.

man that thing just gets worse and worse the more i see it, it sucks as soundwave and as a figure. This line has officially shown that hasbro is losing it and needs to reboot the franchise ASAP.

I was gonna give him a chance...but after looking at him next to HA B...maybe I shouldn't.

Goddamnit...Goddamnit....GODDAMNIT!

So much boring grey plastic!!!! How is this not a prototype?! It looks unfinished from head to toe and rushed in the places that ARE painted.

Oi...damnit I'll still buy one and find out how easy it'll be to disassemble him and bring his colors to movieverse goodness.

kinda disappointed now :/ oh well, im still getting it just because its a soundwave.

I wuv you!

Guess Ill be checking out TJ Maxx a couple of months from now and see if I can get it for $10. Overall, really disappointed with DOTM toys. All of them are comparably smaller than the first two movie's figures (from what I have seen), the plastics are softer and the paint jobs suck.

At least Im saving money for 3rd party stuff

Gundam!!! What a POS in early production and what a POS now. Way to go Hasbro another for the pile of crap!

Yeah I'm sure there should be plenty there Marshall's and Ross!

Aww, he's so tiny. :<

I still like the bot mode, but like others, his car mode is nothing without the paint. Next to HA Jazz and EVEN Sideswipe (who's always in car mode here...) he's going to look weird. And I like Laserbeak even less than before.

I'll still be getting them eventually, but he'll be saying in bot mode most likely, and no idea about Laserbeak yet. We just got some deluze Laserbeaks over here. I might see if I can bring one home sometime. Maybe the repaint will surface soon (unless I missed it?) so I can pick between them.

looks like Sam has been eating his Wheaties like his life depended on it. lol

Why so small?????????????????

The art is like, "THIS is what it should be..." and the figure is like, "but instead you get this."

I dislike this for the same reasons the movie toys have turned my off in general. Monkey arms, chicken legs, no feet. Just doesn't work for me. Some will like it though and that's cool.
