I'm honestly impressed by the lengths they went through to rename every accessory short of the fuel pump.

Would have been nice to have a legit G1 Destron character before Nemesis Prime. *cough* Soundwave or Megatron *cough*

Optimus was already pretty well articulated for the time so we could probably apply that to Soundwave. Better neck joint, more shoulder range, hand articulation, ab crunch, better hips and knees, and foot tilts. But what's really exciting is how they'll upgrade the tapes, they'll be taking the place of Bee and Cliff at that price point. Frenzy and Rumble with actual shoulders and knees, Laserbeak and Buzzsaw with vertical wing movements. I'm excited by the potential!

If they make the main ones, meaning Lazerbeak, Buzzsaw, Ravage, Frenzy, Rumble, and they pack the whole gang together, we're in for something that will cost the same price or even more than the epic Hasbro MP Soundwave set from years back. But Takara may release Soundwave and Buzzsaw, then a Ravage/Laserbeak 2 pack, and finally, the Frenzy/Rumble 2 pack, like they did for their MP release.
Regardless, it will be pretty costly.

Buzzsaw is going to have to wait for a Soundblaster to get his release. I wonder how they'll do a second release for the Ravage Mold? Would they finally do Cobalt Sentries again?

It's unlikely the tapes would do anything different.
