The Arker has posted new images of in package images of Transformers Animated Freeway Jazz & Electrostatic Soundwave.
These 2 Deluxe Class figures are repaint version of Transformers Animated Jazz and Soundwave.
The images also let us read the combat biographies of these new figures:
Freeway Jazz:
With Decepticon activity at its peak near the galaxy rim, rumors begin to circulate that Earth may be getting more evil visitors as well. In anticipation of incoming Decepticons, Autobot Jazz goes undercover, inmersing himself in Earth culture where he hides in plain site. He can enjoy the sights and sound of Earth while planning the perfect moment to strike.
Electrostatic Soundwave:
After a couple of years working alongside Laserbeak, Soundwave realized it was time for a change. His new partner, Ratbat, lets him lay down multiple tracks of sound at a time, creating frequencies that can do more than just control other robots. Now, Soundwave is into straight-up mind control. Using complex synch beats he can make people - and even the Autobots - do whatever he wants.
Don't forget to check out our very own gallery for comparison on original Jazz & Soundwave.

I'm so happy that Hasbro is bringing these out to us. Nobody can ever accuse Hasbro of not doing something for fans, because this all for us. Very few kids care about Ratbat. I just hope they're easy to get on HTS, because with Animated still shelf-warming around here, I'm really afraid retailers aren't going to be ordering.

Great to see the figures in their packaging! I can't wait for these to hit the shelves locally.
This is so true. I'm not a Hasbro or Takara fanboy drone or anything but from time to time, I am genuinely surprised by some of the efforts that are seemingly primarily for the "fans". I know it's not altruistic. Repaints are an easier way to make money off of existing molds. But a movie Jazz homage and Soundblaster homage are things that are more likely to attract Transformers fans than the average Transformers Animated buyer/fan.

Anyone else notice the image of Cybertron mode Ratchet on the back of the Jazz package or Arcee on the back of Soundwave's?

I missed them! I can't wait for them.
TFA Ironhide and Rodimus news should be on the horizon.

Well, the Bios aren't the most spectacular, but that doesn't really matter when it comes to Animated, Can't wait for this shiz. Animated Jazz is a good mold, and I never had the original Soundwave, so I might be interested in getting this and the original.

I think Jazz was a pretty underrated mold. He's got pretty good posability, neat weapons (although I wish they remolded these to combine to form a staff), looks good in both modes, and, like most of Animated, is stunningly accurate to the screen model.

TFA Deluxe Jazz is a solid mold. It does seem to be an overlooked figure. I love its alt mode and the bot mode is a great representation of the character model. I really like the urban ninja style Jazz has going on.

I wish they would've done a better job on Ratbat. No attempt is made at all to hide his head. It's a shame because ratbat is one of my favorites, but I don't know if this mold's worth picking up a second Soundwave.

Well, RatBats head is meant to be the "head" of the keytar. Like all guitars have. Its like a death metal head to a deathmetal keytar
