With War For Cybertron: Siege's second wave steadily marching into stores, we have a new video review for Voyager Class Soundwave! Sent to us by our fellow Seibertronian Maverick Prime and coming from newcomer reviewer Grim Trigger on Youtube, the video goes into considerable detail regarding the figure's detailing in both modes, as well as an intervening step-by-step demonstration of the figure's transformation sequence. Grim Trigger also brings the figure into comparison with his predecessors, Siege Megatron, Hound, Sideswipe and Ultra Magnus, as well as a Marvel Legends Ant Man figure, and admittedly bizarre choice for a size comparison. Unfortunately, Trigger neglects to showcase Soundwave's hidden Lamp-mode, though he does mention it briefly while discussing the vehicle mode.

The video is provided below, so be sure to take a look!

In related news, Soundwave and his fellow Wave 2 Voyager Starscream have both been sighted in Australian retail! Found at a Toyworld in the Forest Hill Chase Shopping Centre in Melbourne, Victoria by Ozformers member jroam and shared on the Ozformers Facebook profile, the Decepticon duo were sighted alongside various Wave 1 figures, so it appears these newcomers are only trickling out as of now. If you live in the area, the hunt appears to be on!

As always, be sure to share your finds in your areas sightings forum, and stay tuned to Seibertron.com for more Transformers news and reviews.

They were planned, leaked, wave numbers were set aside, and their existence was confirmed years later. If that is "canceled" then what is it? Things get canceled internally all the time, an official announcement isn't required.

And again, those TR figures are not the same as the figures that were cancelled, they wouldn't have designed T30 figures to have a play feature from several years later.

It was called Prime War by the end of of combiner wars. Titans return was the one that changed names late in the game. A lot of early promo stuff a a few months before launched was called Titan Wars.

Wrong. All three were going to follow a naming theme of Combiner Wars, Titan Wars, and Prime Wars. Early images showing the name "Prime Wars" at events were referring to the third part of the trilogy. The trilogy wouldn't officially be called Prime Wars until PotP was officially announced.

Situation needed on the claim of them being canceled

But they were calling it prime wars trilogy before POTP title was released. Plenty of places referred to it as prime wars trilogy and weren’t referring it to the third installment

As far as I know, here is the first mention of Prime Wars as a trilogy https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat- ... ogy-950981

This is over 2 years after combiner wars was first announced.

Have some pictures of 2 of the coolest figures in recent Generation years. Optimus is simply perfect, he is my definitive Generations Prime, even though one of his back wheels is on backwards >:oP

Shockwave is awesome. This purple is perfect and that light piping is the best ever. Oh and his armored mode is great, and that space battleship mode

Yeah, they're great, I truly feel that you can now divide the tf fanbase into two groups: the one that feels the armor bits make shockwave a huge scam, and the other one that slaps the extra gun-arms onto their shockwave and love every minute of it 8-)

I consider myself both. He really didn't need those for his main figure, and could have passed as a voyager, with Soundwave taking the leader spot with 4 cassettes to bring him to the leader point. But i think in this case this was some awesome creativity that made Shockwave far better than just by himself

Oh, and just for fun, here is every single Optimus I own, and you can see where Siege fits in overall!

Technically, that is God Magnus Prime, but Alternatively, he's Powermaster Optimus Prime combined with the Apex Armor. I show him as God Ginrai, but I couldn't leave him out of this picture.

Although I will say, I am glad we got that in Titans Return/Legends. while it would be awesome to get him in Siege with the gimmick and such, I think it's awesome we at least got him already.

Still want a Star Saber with Victory Leo though. that needs to happen.

Well, that came out of absolute nowhere. Shame they're just straight up repaints of the hot rod patrol, but what can you do?

I wonder if we'll get any other reveal from Australia Toyfair. I highly doubt it, but who knows? :-?

Thanks to the Ozformers Facebook page, we have word that there has been an exclusive War for Cybertron Siege reveal at Toyfair Australia 2019: the Micromaster Sports Car Patrol! The Micromaster Sports Car Patrol consists of Decepticons Blackjack and Hyperdrive, who are slight remolds of the Wave 1 Micromaster Race Car Patrol of Roadhandler and Swindler, now coming in black and purple and teal and yellow colors! The Siege Micromasters are of course only half of the original team, with Detour and Road Hugger getting cut this time. The pair are able to combine into a strange sports car gun thingy.

You can check out the images of the team taken below, and let us know what you think of the newly revealed Micromasters, who are also the first Micromaster reveals past wave 2, in the comments section below! And as always, stay tuned to Seibertron.com for all your latest Transformers news and galleries.

Agreed, but I suspect that may come after Scorponok comes out, hopefully for Scorp next year, and probably Black Zarak a year after that as a Takara exclusive somehow

On the contrary, I 100% expect more, given that the post writer says they'll be back with more news (they even called the post Part 1) and that this is the same event where PotP Inferno, Outback, and Cindersaur were officially revealed last year. Fingers crossed for Barricade (and that he's not rubbish)!

It's Day 1 of the toyfair on AU, perhaps we can see Skywarp and some probably Apeface and combiners, similar to revealing Slugslinger during their toyfair also/

Bonus image: (Also from Ozformers) Some Scale with SIEGE Omega, G1 Omega and Omega Spreem in Toyfair Australia 2019 (Omega Spreem definitely needs a modern toy.)

I'd be more happy if Lugnut/Lockdown/Oil Slick would join on the WFC Trilogy line,
So far Lugnut is still based from a Bomber though.

i forgot, Strika too.

Posted by Nightbeat339 on March 3rd, 2019 @ 3:28am CST

This raises my hopes for an Off-road Patrol. Highjump is the only G1 Micromaster that I have, and I would absolutely love an update. Sadly, I feel like he would be the least likely to be included in the pack due to his bland color scheme.

Re: Siege Soundwave Video Review, and Wave 2 Voyagers sighted in Australia (2013087)
Posted by blackeyedprime on March 3rd, 2019 @ 4:43am CST

Omegas art doesnt even resemble the toy, the toys faction symbol is too low down among other things.

Still not sold on the micromaster cars humping each other = weapon thing but wanting them at some point (ideally half price and being able to complete full teams)

In addition to our earlier story showing the Australian ToyFair reveal of Blackjack & Hyperdrive - Hasbro have finally released the official renders for Transformers Seige Micromaster Sports Car Patrol (Blackjack & Hyperdrive), Micromaster Off Road Patrol (Highjump & Powertrain) and Deluxe class Barricade. The full gallery is shown below.

Deluxe Barricade was teased last year, and now we have the solid confirmation he is a Prowl remold (as if there was much doubt to begin with, even without the teaser image). Have the official images fully wetted your appetite for these figures or have they left you feeling dry? Let us know here on the Energon Pub at Seibertron.com!

Re: Siege Soundwave Video Review, and Wave 2 Voyagers sighted in Australia (2013102)
Posted by Amelie on March 3rd, 2019 @ 8:52am CST

I'd say that counts as a reveal of Seige Smokescreen, too, whilst we're at it. Same head. Same guns. They'll just lose the light bar on the car mode.

A different face sculpt for Barricade would have been nice. Make him stand out a bit more than having a 'reverse-Prowl' colour palette.

Re: Siege Soundwave Video Review, and Wave 2 Voyagers sighted in Australia (2013105)
Posted by Decepticon Stryker on March 3rd, 2019 @ 8:59am CST

I am.... slightly disappointed in Barricade. I'm glad that he's not an exact repaint of Prowl, and instead uses Smokescreen's head, but I wanted him to have his own, unique headsculpt. Love that vehicle mode though. Here's hoping a 3rd party will release a unique head for him.

Posted by angtre on March 3rd, 2019 @ 9:01am CST

Thumbs up for the new Micromasters, even the almost-only-repainted ones are good.
About Barricade... meh. I was fully prepared for a simple Prowl repaint, yet I was hoping for something a little more original. The movie character is probably one of the most memorable 'cons, it's a shame they didn't try to add a little more personality to this toy... they could at least include its trademark saw blade.

Re: Siege Soundwave Video Review, and Wave 2 Voyagers sighted in Australia (2013107)
Posted by Amelie on March 3rd, 2019 @ 9:01am CST

I think the inspiration for using Smokescreen came directly from Guido Guidi himself, with this old classic bit of art.

A mouth plate or a partial mouth plate ala Optimus Primal, would have worked a lot better though.

I agree. I actually think a new mold that could be Barricade and Strongarm would be a much better mix, but I have a feeling we won't be seeing Strongarm again in a very long time.

Yep, same thought I had about the Coneheads to be fair. Barricade is based on a Movie character, so his face shouldn't look like the default.

We knew it was coming, and we know repaint are a fact of life, but it is still such a massive let down and disappointment to see.

My kids have been asking for, and I've gotten them most of siege, but Barricade will be one I refuse to pay money for on general principal.

Barricade is kinda disappointing. I was hoping for something closer to his Movie or Evergreen face, but instead we get a repaint of the lamest of the heads from the Datsum bros. That Smokescreen head isn't my favorite, and I so wish they had gone a different path for his head.

A case of when expectation meets reality, more likely. Barricade maybe a Police Car, hence Prowl comparisons. But I think even when first announced the expectation was for more than just Black Prowl. The fandom ate up mere palette swaps back in the 80's. More is expected now.

So that's barricade eh? About what I was expecting, okay I thought it would use the Prowl head. I love the Micromasters, even if only a few of them have decent combined modes.

What toys are we waiting for reveal wise now? Just the other exclusives?

I think this is more a case of people expecting a different more movie head, not a Smokescreen pretool head.

I think this is more a case of people expecting a different more movie head, not a Smokescreen pretool head.

I expected a completely different head. Something unique and EVIL looking. But here, it's just lazy. As for the Prowl body, why not? That was expected. But that head ruin it. 3P upgrade kits to the rescue!

Expected it maybe, but nobody wanted it. Try again.

You're looking at the wrong art. He was talking about the art on the box seen behind the Titan class toy in the first pic. He posted the second image because he said that the box art reminded him of the old WFC video game Omega from 2010.
