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.

he has no knees. the legs are horrible, the head looks stupid, and the guns are too small as is the body. 
but he has no knees!!!!!! i thought they would make a good classics soundwave but nooooooo!!! stick to music label people.

I loved the music label series, though they seem to be missing a little detail next to all my Classics/Henkei. I think that one reason may be what has me considering this one. That and the ability to put a cassette in his chest.
I only wish we'd have seen a cassette (and/or USB style) condor/Rumble/Frenzy/Ratbat.

Hmm, looks better in these pics indeed, but it does seem he has fairly poor articulation. ML Soundwave all the way.

I love the idea, but the sculpt kind of bothers me. It looks great except for the legs and waist. I especially love the speakers on the legs, but I can't put my finger on it on why the legs bother me. The waist is just too small, I am not sure how the body could be tapered into it though.

Proceeds to stand Sonicron on the BACK row beside Titanium Soundwave hiding his lower bits.

I am a huge Soundwave fan, have nearly every incarnation of him to date... This is a huge PASS for me tho. He just doesnt look correct. Face is wretched.

I'm just not feeling this at all. I'm actually fine with WFC Soundwave so far as the character placeholder. Still waiting to see what PE's will look like.

I like it, but it's redundant unless the colours are different from Soundwave Blue and Soundblaster Black.

I like the Galaxyforce style head better. Looks meaner!

Yeah, I DO actually like BOTH head sculpts... I just wish they were sharpened up a bit. They look like they're sculpted out of clay, a bit... especially in the crest of the modern one.

The elbows, or lack thereof, are the deal breaker for me. But, I'm not sure I m going to like the PE version either. Glad I bit on the ML version.

You know, the more I look at it the less I like it. It suffers from the same things that piss me off about G1 Soundwave, it has the same shitty arms, the same leg joints and the same shitty proportions plus the same shitty articulation, just with more detail.
I wish PE would show us their version so that I can decide which to get.
Don'T feel like breaking up my planed WFC display just to have a classics Soundwave.

I really feel like I should be more excited about this guy. He looks like Soundwave. It appears there are multiple head possibilities. Alot of G1 goodness throughout, AND he holds G1 tapes. Yet, alas, I think I'm gonna pass. Just not....something.

I have him preordered and will be getting him because he's Soundwave. He'll probably be grouped with other Soundwaves.

I've made my decision and........I'm not buying.
Something about it just looks off,and not cool.
Somebody finally do Soundy right.......I'm looking at you iGear.....you don't seem to give a crap about TM's so what are you waiting for?

Exactly. Grouped with his fellow Soundwaves... kinda in the back where his knees and waist don't show... he'll look great! (Putting Titanium Soundwave WAY in the back.)
Kinda like what I did with my G1 cars... Ratchet and Ironhide kinda tuck behind with the 3rd party heads peeking over. You don't wanna see those guys knees either.

What's wrong with Music Label Soundwave?
