Greetings Seibertronians! Fellow Seibertron users, First Gen and Dominus Prime, have let us know that a user by the name of Shentu Toybox, over on the Chinese social media site Weibo, has photos of the forthcoming Netflix Transformers War for Cybertron Trilogy Voyager Class Soundwave with Ravage and Lazerbeak!

Here is a selection of the photos offered, follow the link to see more!

This Voyager Class Soundwave is a retool of Siege Voyager Class Soundwave, allowing him to resume his Tape Deck alt mode from the Generation 1 toyline/cartoon series. It's been pointed out by fellow Seibertron user, Wolfman Jake that the vestigal landing gear from the Siege alt mode on the arms now serve a new purpose by filling out the back of the new alt mode and allow the arms to snap in securely.

Ravage and Lazerbeak have also been slightly retooled and redeco'ed to better resemble their earth mode (most evident is Lazerbeaks head).

What do you think of these images? Will you be picking up this version of the iconic Decepticon? Let us know in the Energon Pub and stay tuned to Seibertron for all the latest news and reviews!

I can only hope to find this and Bumblebee if things go smoothly in terms of finding them in-person. I don't want to face the same fate that happened with Beewun Prime and Siege Skywarp.

On secon thought, that's a Soundwave I can live without. Especially with the horrible back in tapedeck mode. Having the G1, the MP, and the Siege, that Netflix ER don't bring anything new.

I also have the G1, MP and Siege, and I will be getting this and selling the Siege version. The back of this one in tape deck mode doesn't bother me, as he'll always be facing forward on the shelf no matter which mode he's in. I was never really over for the Siege version, but it was better than nothing. And this one is better than the Siege one so it'll be picked up if I see it in store.

"Better" in the sense that if you want the most "G1" Generations Soundwave ever. On that perspective, it is the best, no doubt.

But for me, the Siege is "better" because he have his G1 bot mode while having a very original spaceship mode. That make him stand out. And if I want a tapedeck mode, I can always buy that upgrade kit. It's unfortunately quite expensive though.

I will not buy online with shipping and extra fees. But if I find that Netflix Soundwave live in store, it will be very hard to not impulse buy him.

The landing gear on the forearms still bugs me, especially when that plastic could've been used for panels to avoid hollow forearms.
I think the figure overall looks incredibly good...
I don't think this is the best we'll get for a G1 styled figure, but then I keep questioning, how long will it be before we get a non-gimmick, G1 Soundwave that's better than this?
And I'm so happy with my MP version, I don't know if I'm going to wait around much more for the "next better version". As I've said before, it's getting to that point for some of these other characters as well.

If you're willing, humor me and share your opinions on how soon we'll get better versions of some of these G1 characters. Oh, and I mean versions that are gimmick-free with the goal of G1, cartoon accurate appearances.

Don't know if I can sell him but I would absolutely sell the Siege version and get this while keeping Siege Soundblaster since those two being distinct from each other in ways besides paint will be nice especially since Soundblaster has been becoming more of his own character recently instead of an upgraded Soundwave.

While it's on my mind the "spaceship" mode that the Siege mold has becomes more cool to me when I imagine it more as a hovercraft that floats/hovers using "soundwaves" for transportation and I like Soundwave more as a ground vehicle anyways, I do the same thing with the Siege Reflector ship mode but with "lightrays" instead of sound.

But it's not really his G1 bot mode, because there's no tape deck parts showing due to his alt mode being something other than a tape deck. :-D

Oh yeah. This give more points to the Siege for his Cybertronian mode. He could also work as Bee Movie Soundwave I think. But if they ever make a SS BM Soundwave, I wonder what he'll look like. Especially in altmode.

I think that if they ever did a Cybertronian mode Soundwave from the Bumblebee movie, his alt mode would be similar to the War for Cybertron/Fall of Cybertron version.

That would be the most logical choice.plus the wheels can easily hide in the bot mode with the right transformation scheme.

Exactly, plus no doubt fans could put together a fan mode for his tape deck alt that he never took in the movie :lol:

Exactly as they did for the original deluxe WFC toy. It was so good that the fan mode was officialised in the sequel, FoC. ;)^

Here is the thing for me with Soundwave and any potential Blaster retool. I really don't need a tape deck alt mode anymore.

This feeling really started for me in Titans Return, where I would put the whole line out on my pool table for a battle. Then convert them all to alt modes so they could charge each other. Then realize that a boom box can't do crap in this scene, so I had to load Blaster onto Fort Max and Soundwave onto Trypticon. Then it hit me, a tape deck is a really dumb alt mode for the year 2020.

So as meh as Siege Soundwave's space barge might be, it is still more fun for me personally that a tape deck.

Nah, lots better transformer games out there -a few of the Baynus games were better, Devestation and Saints Row 4.

Plus none of them had Earth mode dinobots on Cybertron before they got to Earth.

Would have thought the new game might have had Netflix WFC skins as a dlc but maybe that will happen at some point if the GI Joe game might be getting extra content.

When it comes to alt modes, you have to take into consideration the function of the character in the fiction. Why was Soundwave a tape deck to begin with? It had to do with his function as the Cons' communications specialist. Sure, a tape deck itself might be outdated, but Soundwave shouldn't be turning into just some random vehicle in a fight. As the one responsible for short and long range communications, he shouldn't be fighting anyway, unless it's absolutely necessary. Ironically Soundwave was 1 of the best Con fighters in G1 when he wasn't sending messages.

Tl;Dr Soundwave needs a special alt mode that separates him from the others. Hence tape deck in G1, the satellite in Bayverse and the drone in Prime. But what else could he be?

Back when Classics/Universe/Generations was more about "updating" classic G1 characters for the 21st century, I had always envisioned Soundwave's new alt mode being as surveillance truck of some sort. Similarly, I envisioned Blaster as one of those SUVs that's been outfitted with a state of the art sound system, like the kind you see in competitions for the loudest bass in an automobile.

I think surveillance truck is a great idea, because it matches his function as mentioned above. The drone alt mode was also pretty cool. As far as the machine wars and cybertron soundwave alt modes go, they were cool but didn't quite fit. I don't mind the boombox alt mode because its unique, he can still fly in robot mode, and thats the whole point with the cassette minions. I'm loving netflix soundwave because I have yet to get MP Soundwave and never got siege version either. But updated alt modes in the future like a surveillance truck, drone, or satellite with a bot mode that still looks like the original soundwave would be great

Oh right, Cybertron... I don't know the top figure.

Regardless, my point was that whatever he turns into, his alt mode should maximize his abilities relating to his function as a communications specialist. He shouldn't be just another soldier.

Posted by Deadput on October 28th, 2020 @ 3:28am CDT

I prefer Soundwaves who aren't just trucks or jets (with or without "sound" tech like speakers, etc) but rather stuff that most Transformers don't turn into like his boombox, satellite or Prime drone plane modes.

Soundwave is cooler when he stands out amongst the cast (besides his voice) and not just another truck or jet since it just homogenizes the cast, which is also why I prefer Megatron's who are tanks or some other ground vehicle, etc instead of a jet because when every Decepticon can fly it's pretty boring, plus making Megatron a ground vehicle both balances his "power level" and gives a reason for why he may keep Starscream around.

Similar would go to Blaster but he hasn't been officially depicted with a diverse set of alternate modes like Soundwave, he tends to be a truck if he isn't a boom-box. (Which reminds me, no remold of Siege/ER Soundwave as a Blaster so far has been really disappointing to me personally since he's a fave of mine.)

No, not completely. The parts that form his Backpack on the Siege version are left out of the Netflix version. So you can get close bot not completely there as the top would be missing for the lamp post.

If you're talking about the animation lamp post in the siege netflix series, I believe it did. But if you mean the animation lamp post from the G1 cartoon, then no if I remember correctly soundwaves chest served as the lamplight and he just kind of hunched over with his arms out

Yes, and in addition in G1, his legs merged into a single "post" for the lamp, so no matter what the Siege version is just an approximation of G1.

I meant the G1 animation. I guess then the retool can do the closer to G1 animation lamp post. Who knows, someday we might get an actual G1 Soundwave lamp.

The Siege version can do that to, just combine the legs in the ship-mode configuration.

So I'm trying to decide about getting the Nemesis Prime in this line or the POTP version. Any recommendations? I kind of like the whole Nemesis Pax into Nemesis Prime thing going on with the POTP version and the fact he's actually leader class size. But this Netflix one looks good too.

I have the PotP version and will also be getting the Netflix version. Not sure on whether I will keep the PotP version long term or not. The transformation for the cab to the smaller robot mode is pretty boring, but the transformation to the larger bot mode is nice and fun. The black color really helps to hide how ugly the back of the cab and the front of the trailer are on the regular OP version, and the extra weapons are nice, but mostly also duplicated for the Netflix version.

Having both molds already, if I was to choose only 1, it would probably be Netflix.

Oddly enough I'm thinking about getting 2 of the Netflix Nemesis Primes, just so I can have a G2 Styled Trailer for Optimus.

Thanks for the input. I might actually get both versions.

Looks like it is Pulse's turn to delay the Netflix spoiler pack, November 16th, which now matches Walmart (not that I expect Walmart to come through).

I received that email as well. I was waiting for the delay email since it said the 1st and it is already the 6th but this isn't as bad as I thought it would be.

Hrm... interesting, does anyone have a Walmart pre-order for the Spoiler Box that still shows a date? Mine just says delayed/out of stock with no expected shipping/arrival date. I was one of the first people to pre-order when the listing went up , not that it matters I guess, this IS Walmart were talking about.

I'd highly doubt that. We already have Selects G2 Sandstorm as a jet, there would be no reason G1 fanservice at the moment would not provide a triple changing G1 Sandstorm, and I would be shocked to hear them doing a Machine Wars Sandstorm at the moment

I'd take that over to the Selects thread, this is focused on the Netflix figures.

Interesting, if at all true, but wild speculation or not, this discussion belongs in the Generations Selects thread instead.
