The design of this figure is as awesome as the paint apps are uninspiring.

Something is wrong with this figure's transformation...

Is he mistransformed? I thought we got pictures of this dude with different looks to him, making him look a lot less bad.

Other tan that, I'd like to see a comparison with HA Soundwave with this guy. (And one with leader Prime and Voyager Megs)

EDIT: Ninja'd so hard...

Aside from the stunning shade of gray, and the (probably) mistransformed shoulders, this guy is looking good.

Much nice than the HA version IMO.

Well at least it looks about 10 times better then that HA POS, version. That thing is an abomination of FAIL!!

Its interesting that the deluxe class has much less car kibble hanging off his back than the HA.

It also seems to have a much more solid stance and better looking feet.

However judging by the size of the Mechtech weapon, and how tiny tiny HA Soundwave is, I'd say this is going to be a very small deluxe, maybe even a scout sized figure.

Attack of the killer grey...

Why couldnt they give him the same silver treatment they gave DOTM Sideswipe ???

All they had to do was make the deluxe into a HA and you would of had one of the best HA next to jazz, who i just bought should be here on saturday hes my first HA :D .

The head sculpt is sooooo much better and the legs are =P~ compared to his HA figure

im definitly in for buying the deluxe the only bad is the sideswipe grey but i
dont care.

Don't you mean ROTF side swipe?

Cause DOTM sideswipe is that same drab gray plastic:

Sigh..... Can I say another bad figure with another terrible paint apps? Look at the size of that mechtech weapon. The HA version is a huge disappoint about the size and now this. :-(
Re: Transformers DOTM Deluxe Soundwave In-Hand Images (1313290)
Posted by TimothyR on November 16th, 2011 @ 10:33am CST
it would be nice if the shoulders were positioned more accurately.. and it would also be super awesome if he had forward bending elbows.. i just don't understand why hasbro decides to do this.. they basically render the arms useless. it's ridiculous.
Re: Transformers DOTM Deluxe Soundwave In-Hand Images (1313294)
Posted by SaTaN CoNvOy on November 16th, 2011 @ 10:43am CST
That Soundwave is suppose to be a deluxe? Its like Hasbro took a step backwards when it came to the DOTM figures. So far I've only bought 2 figures and I really don't see myself getting anymore.



:twisted:

Im feeling fairly certain that hasbro knew people were going to buy this and the HA version just because its soundwave so they didnt really bothering throwing a lot of money towards paint apps / transformation quality ...

I dont think he looks bad .. but the constant "miss transformed" images we keep seeing of him are worrying me that that might not be a miss transformation after all .. :BANG_HEAD:

I'll get him and the HA version as well... Probably gonna try to pop the car kibble off and just pray it down with a metallic silver paint of some sort so atleast the vehicle mode looks good.

Hasbro .. you let us down ... now make up with it by giving us a new LC Megs.

For goodness sake, I think the universe needs a lesson in transforming toys...

We've already seen pics of him more or less properly transformed, so I'm not worried about that. The fact that his car roof can fold up on his back is soothing relief, too.

I'm hoping that the MechTech weapon is just obscenely large, and by comparing the vehicle pic to Sideswipe, I think that may be the case. Here's hoping.

The shoulders are already there and the alt mode is super sleek!

Man, the reason they keep producing this crap is because people buy it just because it is (insert character name here). Boycott these disgusting excuses for transformers. It's like they made so much money from the movies that they figured they could just stop trying with movie figs completely. They are kind of right, and that sucks :\ I hate to think of how bad the figures will be for a 4th movie. Optimus prime will be a red, white, and blue popsicle stick, and bumblebee will just literally be a bee.

TF:Prime will be the robot retribution we need

not sure whats worse this one or the HA one, horrible paints apps(or should is say the lack of), horrible molding, massive kibble that cant be just shrugged off, im sure the transformation is uninspiring. And people thought that ROTF Soundwave & Animated Soundwave were bad, they both look like goddamn works of art compared to these monstrosities. Soundwave had such a good run in the past few years, even the bad figures of him were ok, all to be ruined by hasbros newly found laziness and greed. And bay of course cant forget him.

Another fail lack of paint. At least the robot still looks pretty decent despite that fact. Might still pick this up if it looks good in person.

Looks like a good mold, but I think the robot mode is still mistransformed. I can't tell for sure, but it looks like the plastic might be a pearly grey, which is better than flat grey, but still not nearly as good as silver paint would have been. In terms of repaints, we already know about the black one, and I'm hoping it gets a new head and is repainted in a G1 Dead End color scheme. I'm planning to get two normally colored ones and one black one. One of the grey ones will be my DOTM Soundwave, and the grey vehicle mode parts of the extra one will be combined with the black robot mode parts of the other to make a custom character.

Only part I'm unhappy with are his legs, especially his lower legs. Those flat fold-out feet just look like lazy, uninspired design work, especially after DotM produced beautiful figures like deluxe Topspin and LC Sentinal Prime.
Re: Transformers DOTM Deluxe Soundwave In-Hand Images (1313444)
Posted by Doctor McGrath on November 16th, 2011 @ 5:31pm CST
This mold is so much better than the HA version. I'll be picking him up on sight.

The shoulders can hold the gun.
So these are still mistransformed images.

He may be smaller but I like his overal look vs ROTF soundwave imo. I Dont like the upper leg/knee joint it looks too filmsy, reminds me of 06' barricades flip out hand joint.

Posted by Cobalt Prime on November 17th, 2011 @ 9:27am CST
This is part of a new marketing strategy on Hasbro's part. Sell the unpainted figure with an image on the package back showing what it SHOULD look like. Then sell a seperate set of paints for that character for $9.99, thus doubling the asking price for a deluxe without actually marking up the price of the figure itself!
It's so stupid it's brilliant! 8-}

For a $10 toy, it looks cool to me! I'd rather have this and $20 left to spend on something else, as opposed to spending $30 on the HA version.

We have a few additional in-hand images of Transformers Dark of the Moon Deluxe Class Soundwave courtesy of TFW2005 member Soundwavedotm. These images have the figure's shoulders in a different configuration from the last set of in-hand pictures that surfaced on eBay. Hopefully this guy and his wave mate Deluxe Wheeljack/Que will be making their retail debut shortly. Click here to view all of Soundwavedotm's images, we've mirrored a few below.

Dare I say this thing looks better than the $29.99 HA soundwave toy in robot mode. it would be kinda funny if both the deluxe $ 29.99 ha soundwave robot modes were the same exact height.

No,I still don't plan on buy this in deluxe or $29.99 HA toy forms.

The lack of paint applications is just SAD. I realize that his head, rims, taillights, speakers and bellybutton are painted but they only serve to highlight the fact that the gray plastic looks like crap. Maybe Hasbro figures they can save money by having us paint him?
Re: Transformers DOTM Deluxe Soundwave In-Hand Images (1316094)
Posted by rpetras on November 23rd, 2011 @ 8:31pm CST
Looks better than the first few pics we saw. I think the shoulder kibble was handles a bit better.

Still, the roof/ass plate needs to be dealt with.

Not bad.

Posted by Cobalt Prime on November 23rd, 2011 @ 10:01pm CST
Well, the new images show that at least the ball joint can be rotated so he's not permanently monkey armed. But that serious lack of paint is just killing me. It's the one thing that is really making it difficult to like this figure.

What is it with Hasbro and Soundwave, one of TF's more iconic characters. We hear that there is a new Soundwave coming out, and we're like "yaaay", and then we actually see it and it's like "awwww crap". This happens repeatedly. Why can't they get him right?
