We will find out more once we see the robot modes. I can only imagine blue F-1 car having Wildbreak's design, and the yellow sports car Dragstrip's :lol:

The picture of Dragbreak on the package looks pretty much like he does on the show, except with the color schemes of the two halves swapped. So even if you disregard any possible G1 influence (not easy, I know), it's still backwards.

Luckily, the cartoon has the two as the same car type, with neither being an F-1 racer. Thus, while Dragstrip isn't an F-1 racer in the show, coloring the F-1 racer toy that forms the top of Dragbreak in Dragstrip's colors, and coloring the car that forms the pants in Wildbreak's colors, would make this toy set less backwards than it is now.

That's actually what I was trying to say, that the "it's not supposed to be G1" argument can't save this one, because it's also wrong relative to other, more directly relevant, things too.

I just had a thought.

If Hasbro wanted to make a Show exclusive that might gain some interest but be unexpected how about the large Takara Leader Class like Optimus Prime - so far he's had his Black and Red colours and his Red & Blue colours - so there is the option for a sandy deco and or a Blue deco (for a couple of examples)..

They could make English Language Sounds for him and (Peter Cullen Ideally - but not essentially) and I think that would be a nice fun toy - and since they pass on the original for that hollow mess with wings - It would be a nice way to get Optimus Out.

If they really wanted to they could follow on with something like a Sandy Deco 3-Step Bee or a Release of the Takara version of the Bee Mould.

If they did that they'd have the impression of doing something new - while actually not having to make even a new head or anything.

Just a thought anyway - though it does kinda rely on their being some demand for those sorts of things.

I'm not sure if Australia counts as UK or Europe (sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't, depending on definition I suppose), but I've seen the die-cast vehicles around. So yeah, those are definitely here too - haven't seen any kind of RC stuff though.

Honestly? I LOVE Soundwave. I'm sure part of it is my lasting affinity for WfC/FoC-style designs, but I adore basically every single thing about this guy (aside from the neck-plate...). I'm not sure exactly what it is that does it for me, but all the details just seem spot-on for Soundwave as a character; even the wings, which I have no idea where they were derived from honestly (if anywhere), just look right. If Classics had continued the way it was originally - updating characters' designs while preserving the essence, rather than a near-direct copy of their original look - this feels like exactly the Soundwave toy I would've wanted to see.

All extremely high praise I know, and I might be presenting the toy as just sliiightly better than it is objectively, but what can you do. It just goes to show how much I love it. :x

('Course, it doesn't hurt that I got him for the same price as it would usually cost me for a Legends-class figure. But I swear, even beyond that bias this toy is fantastic.)

Hell yeah, man. 8-)

There's always that level of disbelief, at first, because this is the only Decepticon other than Starscream to be returning from Prime, and with both Decepticons their original models were extremely sleek and slender. To be brought back into the story with these WFC-esque designs, it's a bit offsetting, especially for Soundwave given he's already returned once with his old model. When I bought the new Starscream figure, and put Prime First Edition Starscream next to him, it just looked like two different incarnations. This new Soundwave, though? Totally passes for the same guy. Maybe it's the fact that they kept the same head sculpt this time whereas Starscream was a completely makeover, but yeah, that's definitely Prime Soundwave.

Point being? Not only can I appreciate the toy's well-crafted design and detail in and of itself, but I can also more easily accept that this is supposed to be the same stealth bomber from the old show, which is just icing on the cake.

Maybe this new body is what will come about after Soundwave's Mini-Con minions finish gathering up all three Decepticon Hunters for him. Recall that three Decepticon Hunters brought together result in body upgrades that Takara's toys called "Supreme Modes". Maybe we'll see Soundwave somehow figure out how to make his new body a permanent upgrade instead of the temporary ones that Bee, Swipe, and Strongarm had in "Battlegrounds", and which Steeljaw and Bee again had in "Decepticon Island" (or like what Starscream and Optimus had in "Worthy").

Its an awesome toy, and Hasbro did a great job with him. There is nthing missing to the deco, for me, nice helping of paint all around and a nice robot mode that is both new and inspired by what came before. The only reason he wouldnt be a top 5 soundwave to me is beccause of how the arms end up in alt mode. There is nothing there to hide them, it looks really lazy and bad.
And its really too bad such a great toy would also have this big a flaw. But dems da breaks!

Recall that three Decepticon Hunters brought together result in body upgrades that Takara's toys called "Supreme Modes". Maybe we'll see Soundwave somehow figure out how to make his new body a permanent upgrade instead of the temporary ones that Bee, Swipe, and Strongarm had in "Battlegrounds", and which Steeljaw and Bee again had in "Decepticon Island" (or like what Starscream and Optimus had in "Worthy").


That'd be a nice way to work it into the plotline, unlike Starscream's design change. Here's hoping. I'm still very satisfied with the Starscream weaponizer arc, mind you. Steve Blum is God. :P

And its really too bad such a great toy would also have this big a flaw. But dems da breaks!


Ah yes, you're right, that's the only detractor of the toy for me, but somehow I can kinda get past it. Most of my figures are in robot mode most of the time anyway. Even still, would it have cost them so much money to put a hinge on the hands so they fold in?
