It looks much better!
I wish Guido Guidi would come to AA, I want his signature and a Print of this design.
Also, I wonder if they asked for his permission, but I guess he dosen't have the rights to it anyway since it was commissioned work for Hasbro.

Not really impressed with this figure but for 60 bucks I may just pick him up to support these guys.

Still looks pretty clunky to me. They really ought to get a better prototype done up before they start promoting and putting up preorders. Regardless, I don't need another Soundwave.

Looks terrible.
No way that will be quality product on release.

So how on earth are we going to will this thing out of existence?
It's a cool conceot, but I think it needs more time on the drawing board to come up with something good for it.

I think I'll be getting this guy.
And yeah, I think we'll have to wait and see the finished product... and read reviews... before we REALLY know how the quality is. I don't think the test shots in the photos are necessarily indicative of the quality. I saw some different dark grey pressings online that looked more crisp and detailed than this white milky version. I'm guessing the finished product will look a little better... not to mention the blue will help a lot.

I agree about the colors. Nothing looks good in these colors. Sight is the most easily fooled sense. In this case the sight of the crappy colors may make the rest appear to be crappy. Or not.... Guess we'll see in due time.
As of right now I'm feeling music label soundwave. Wasn't there also another "classic" style 3rd party take on soundwave in an article a while ago? I cant find it but it was a silhouette that looked promising.

I have one on preorder in the hopes that the final product will be much more awesome.
I will cancel it if it's not.

It still looks like he has no knees and his elbows are just under his shoulders. It looks very flimsy as well.

Something fantastic will have to happen between now and then for me to decide I want it.

I like it.
But no paint, no preorder.
Decent paint-app gets my money.

I have a feeling this thing has clearance wrtten all over it. I'm leaning toward passing altogether, but maybe I'll reconsider if it reaches half price.

BTS Toys has updated their website with more prototype images of their upcoming BTS-04 Sonicron. This version of Soundwave is based on unused concept art by Guido Guidi. Images mirrored below.

Hmmm. Suffers a bit from MP Megatron leg syndrome. Also I'd prefer the screw holes on the right arm to be on the back of the arm in robot mode. Otherwise, looks pretty good.

Does look better in the second set of pics, but ML Soundwave is still the better figure so there's no real place for this one in my collection. Still only a clearance consideration.
