Soundwave: Beautiful. I will claim it and keep it locked away forever, alongside my TRU Prime. Forever will I have these great characters for posterity. Five cassettes is a hell of an included accessory, but I hope we get the Megatron pistol with this one too.

Bummed by the yellow visor, but it's not the worst thing in the world. What I'm really concerned about is the matte grey color he seems to have. I can see Hasbro skimping on the silver paint, so I'm interested to see additional pics confirming this either way.
Acid Storm looks pretty good, outside of the green eyes (and mis-transformed wings)... looks like his head is getting swapped with an alt mode Thundercracker! Just hope an MP-11 molded Skywarp's in the pipeline, and my Seeker army will be close to completion (barring the coneheads, of course)!

How do you mean? Soundwave looks very G1 to me.Rated X wrote:Why did they have to make the paintjob so Hasbroish ? Couldnt they just keep it G1 like everything else from the MP line ?
And Acid Storm has had two notable decos, and this one is a fair halfway point compromise between each.

I was so looking forward to this one...
Hasbro did an impeccable job with MP-10's eyes, why did they drop the ball with MP-13's?
Is it absolutely its final look?

*AHEM* Considering this deco makes Soundwave accurate to not only the original toy, but the UK comics as well, Hasbro technically kept this more G1 than the takara MP, which was only accurate to the G1 cartoon. The abbreviations relevant to his kids, therefore, go without saying.

Unless they worked in an eye-color-change feature, like MP Grimlock? Yeah, didn't think so. This is gonna' force me to get the Takara version down the road as well, since I love Soundwave so.

Not sure ... I sent an email to Hasbro's PR company to see if they can confirm one way or another if he will have yellow (toy accurate) or red (cartoon accurate) eyes. I know a lot of you were hoping for red eyes.
I was hoping for yellow since I've got Takara Tomy's version. Kudos Hasbro!

By comparison, Cartoon Soundwave was a hollow, empty shell of a character.

What would be perfect is if there is a Grimlock gimmick and the eyes can switch color...just pure bad-ass!

Acid Storm is and always has been an easy pass for me, I'm just not interested in the character. The digital camo looks kinda cool though.

You're a brave man. I don't think I'd dare to attempt to touch-up a hundreds of monies worth of toy.Kapiko Customs wrote:Yellow eyes? No problem! My trusty airbrush is already happily shaking with anticipation !
Since this figure was obviously sculpted after the cartoon model I think it should have had red eyes. Wasn't comic-SW purple most of the time anyway?
