"Colour superior, grey in grey inferior!"
Yes, we have out first colour picture of MP Soundwave, Laserbeak, and the accessories that will be included!
- Megatron Gun
- Alternate tape deck
- Empty Energon cube
- Cassette case
- Small chrome part (this could be the electronic shocker he used a few times in the cartoon, like for reactivating Skyfire)
But that's not all!
The picture also reveals three more cassettes, two are new molds!
- Buzz Saw
- Ravage
- Rumble/Frenzy mold

The colours look really good, well from what I can make out here. I love that he comes with Megatron, anybody have any idea what the small chrome part is? Could it be a tiny version of himself in a holster?

I have a whole cassette collection thing going on, so these being backwards compatable is a thing for me.

As good as that looked in grey, it's 100x better in color. Want. Want. Want!

MP13 - Soundwave and Laserbeak
MP14 - Red Alert
MP15 - Buzzsaw, Ratbat, Rumble, Frenzy (Minion army)
MP16 - Soundblaster and Ravage
Here's hoping the eventual Hasbro release of SW includes all the tapes -and- comes in cheaper!

I wonder if that little yellow-rimmed tray next to it is also an accessory of some kind?

Id just say id wait til hasbro does one but theres no guarantee that they will and if they do who knows what the price will be, itll either be over priced like Grimlock & all their current stuff or priced ok like Skywarp & HotRod were.
BBTS shows it to be pretty pricey.
Still, Prime's coming out WITH his trailer. This may very well see our shores if you can stand the wait.

Yes, it's the alternate tape deck slot for his chest.

This is the most accurate lazerbeak we've ever had and I love him! Looks like it was ripped out right from the 1988 movie and is a must have for any true collector.

Acousticwave has been cancelled for some time now. The company making it has gone under.

Looks to be about a head shorter than Optimus, so he's a decent size.

The thing he electrocuted Skyfire with?

I already had my preorder in from day one so my price is $159.99, only $20 more for Laserbeak. That's a price I can live with!
Posted by RodimalToyota on June 14th, 2012 @ 2:52pm CDT
The small chrome hand extension, is from the G1 cartoon, He shoots someone out of the sky with it. I can't remember any more then that.
The Cassettes look like platinum with a shot of plutonium.
Awesome is to weak of a word to use to describe this.

It looks like Laserbeak's gonna have the camera that comes out of his head, check out that joint! couple that with the fact that his cannons are integrated in the transformation, I think he's way worth the 30% price increase!

With all of their investment capital used on not 1 but 2 products that would no longer have any value, it's no wonder. I hope they manage to rally and get on to other products.
(Before anybody asks, they made two totally different Soundwave prototypes.)

I recant my earlier comment 100%. Soundwave superior, Acoustic Wave inferior. Godddamn that thing is sexy. Minions soon after MP13 please. Still not fully convinced by the way the legs connect to the body but that is a minor niggle.

and as usual, there's a nay sayer. lol.(lol denotes sarcasm, not fight picking*) sideswipe had an alternators figure.. and it absolutely blew. soundwave looks perfect. absolutely perfect.
i wonder how they're going to release the other cassettes.. in the same package as soundwave? as an exclusive.. as an extra set.. ?

That was never confirmed, and if you look at the 2nd page of that topic, there's a brief explaination from Sidecutter regarding some difficulties related to getting the product out.
I'm thrilled Takara is producing MP Soundwave, but will still consider picking up an Acoustic Wave if it were released. Besides, this group also teased a prototype MP Blaster. How long do you think we'd have to wait for an official release of that guy?
For me, the more the merrier.

agreed, the more the merrier indeed.
.. i wouldn't pick up acoustic wave. what sold me on the takara version is the legs and the feet.
i would love an MP blaster.. i just hope we get one later rather than sooner. i'd like to see them give us a prowl and his brethren next (as far as autobot cars go). next i'd like to see as far as major characters is megatron, galvatron, ironhide, ratchet..

Now, they said the next masterpiece was going to be announced at Tokyo toyfair. Are the next figures Ravage and Rumble/Frenzy? Or are we going to get another suprise?

They will be released in a pack by themselves, my sources say. I know Soundblaster will come with a cassette, but perhaps he comes with them all?

I think a seperate pack of cassetes is a good idea and I would be all over it too. But can we expect the cassettes to be labelled MP15 or is there another reveal coming?
Exciting times. I'm loving this line.

I may also pick up AW under the exact same logic, but the thrill for it has just been cut down by a substancial margin. Those tapes were always what drew me to AW and now it seems the official release has all of them already.

I'm sure that due to their lack of size they won't be labelled such, but rather a MP-13n side.

there is no more acoustic wave.. so you won't be able to pick it up.
Posted by xyl360 on June 14th, 2012 @ 6:57pm CDT
That's the best looking, most accurate Soundwave I've ever seen (they FINALLY got the scale of his chest accurate to the cartoon, which always looked better IMO and was way too large on the original toy).
My preorder on BBTS has been in since it went up and that isn't going to change. Mine mine mine mine mine !
Posted by amtm on June 14th, 2012 @ 6:58pm CDT
Otherwise, I'm happy to hear the news, and I'm happy I preordered at BBTS, but don't see how Soundwave + Laserbeak is worth $170.

If Starscream+Coronation Set is worth $160 (and that's a pretty big IF), then Soundwave+Laserbeak is DEFINITELY worth $170.

Anyways. I wouldn't mind TT sticking in a cheap MP3 player inside the toy. Even those 5$ micro MP# players would do.
