The highly anticipated Transformers Dark of the Moon Deluxes Soundwave and Wheeljack are on display at NYCC. Hasbro presented the figures during a slide show at SDCC, but now the actual figures are on display for the world to see. The figures are part of DOTM Deluxe wave 6, which is scheduled to hit shelves in December. Our fellow Transformers enthusiasts over on TFW2005 have posted images of the figures on display, click here to view their post and see the figures in vehicle mode.

I'm loving all the new TF Prime stuff coming out. I only hope and pray that this is not going to be repeat of the TFA debacle, where many of us fell in love with the show and it's accompanying toys, only to have the rug pulled out from under us before it's time. (I know that there are those here that see that as a good thing, but I speak only for those of us who DID like TFA).

It would be a shame to invest so much in a series that just gets put down in it's prime.

Oops, looks like I just created a pun!

Not liking either of there. Soundwave's head looks too big, and Wheeljack/Que's just...

True, but the place card has him labeled as WJ.

both look like crap, soundwave has to much kibble the mold itself is just bad but the head is the worst part & wheeljack/que looks like he'll break as soon as you touch it and just looks uninspired. It feels like hasbro is just rushing DOTM stuff out instead of sitting down for a while & trying to make it good. Still say DOTM is the worst line in TF history both concept & quality wise.

ok i never liked soundwave being a silver car to begin with, and now his figure has the whole roof and hood on his back, with no effort to hide any of it. que, looks ok and i actually dig that he's rockin the clip system, probably still wont get him. the Prime figures are what im looking forward to, i may just stick to the basics though, i dont exactly have any disply room left anymore

Wheeljack looks pretty good. I like his weapon. Assuming it has the right kind of peg, I might give it to my Voyager Ratchet. As for Soundwave, he looks great in vehicle mode, and he'd probably look good in robot mode if he were transformed correctly, but why does he have no silver paint? He'd be far better with silver paint! I honestly wouldn't mind if Hasbro got rid of all his other paint apps just so he could be all silver in vehicle mode. I suppose I'll have to use my silver Sharpie on him, which I don't want to do. The thing I hate most by far about the DOTM line is the all around crappy, minimal paint jobs.

how 'bout this.. instead of getting rid of his other paint apps.. WHY DON'T WE GET RID OF ALL OF THE SHITTY BUMBLEBEE REPAINTS and give soundwave a silver paint job lol. i bet that would make sense to mostly everyone else in the world except for hasbro apparently.

and i agree que looks great. i really like that color blue. it seems nice and rich.

Um hmm Que looks much better now. Uhm (oh dear) It looks like My Maxwell's Silver Hammer Custom may now be H.A Soundwave not deluxe Soundwave. What do you who customize think?

This explains why I couldn't find any info on a "Q" character. Actually have been looking forward to this figure...both of them now.

deluxe soundwave, in this picture at least, reminds me of TFA Blurr.

Shouldn't Soundwave look a little more squaty? The toy's all lanky and really doesn't look like what I saw in the movie.

Wheeljack looks like a very good toy, very accurate, though for once his characterization would bother me when buying him. He didn't do crap in the movie.

I know this is totally off topic, but is there any news about that one unlicensed third party masterpiece soundwave? It looked cool.

I am blown away as to how close these 2 match their CGI counterparts. Soundwave is purely evil especially with that silver head and cannon. Que kicks ass, hopefully that olive green weaponry changes color between now and release date. I'll probably see these 'bout February, I just found the wave with Cyberfire BB yesterday.

I like Soundwave. Ill buy Wheeljack just to complete the movie lineup, but Bay really hit the ball to far out in the left field with "Que".
