Our own Lapse Of Reason has brought us news about new images of Music Label Soundwave. Ebay seller vince.carter15 has posted an auction for the figure. The auction shows Music Label Soundwave in package and compared to Classics Skywarp. Here are the images:
That packaging is severely disappointing for the price we're paying for it. Still can't wait to get a proper Classics sized Soundwave to replace the TRU Classics Soundwave reissue.
Bigger then the seekers.. just what the classics version should be, just dont like the tape deck emulation... no casseticons will ever come out of his chest, that sucks
Hope they do a real classics figure, wasn't one planed and delayed? maybe there allready is a prototype and all...
He looks alright. Could use some stickers or something on the chest though. Not really interested in these guys myself, but they're a cool idea certainly.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but there is traditionally a difference between the US Soundwave & Japanese Soundwave based off of where a couple of stickers were placed. IIRC, The Japanese one was always seen as a walkman (& even came with fake headphones at one point) & so the red striped stickers that came with him were placed on the batteries/guns to make them look similar to duracell batteries, whereas in the US, since there were no headphones available, they simply moved these stickers to the front of the tapedeck as makeshift speakers. Since this is a Japanese Soundwave, it would make sense why he looks somewhat plain....well, at least in his alt. mode.
