I've agonized over this subject for a while.
I wouldn't say ML Soundwave is too short, but he does severely lack details. However
Reprolabels does some amazing work though, which I think makes him a great candidate for any C/G display.
Another option is Cybertron/Galaxy Force Soundwave. An amazing figure, but too tall and doesn't quite fit the aesthetic.
FOC Soundwave's, particularly the Takara Deluxe, are outstanding. But the Cybertronian alt mode, again, doesn't fit my aesthetic desires.
Upcoming TR Soundwave, too big. And the bulk of the mold works for Blaster in my opinion, but not Soundwave.
What my plan is, is KFC Mugan Vox.

He'll be his own mold (on my display anyways), he's the right size, and he conveniently solves another problem wonderfully: Ratbat. My cassette minions won't be represented by MP's (like many have done) and KFC's Ratbat (Badbat) looks awesome. I've thought about it for a loooooong time, and now I think is the right time to pounce. An official Soundwave was just released so it'll probably be a while before they release another one. Which actually, this thread just made me realize.
