We already know a Shaterred Glass Soundwave toy is coming but it was unknown which mold would be used. Comic covers are giving us a pretty big clue though with the latest cover making it obvious that he has the body used for the Walmart exclusive Netflix line. As we saw with Goldbug, while an outright rerelease of an exclusive may not be possible immediately, Hasbro seems to be able to still use the molds in different decos (this is just an observation, not a verified fact). So Soundwave could be using the Netflix mold just as Goldbug used the exclusive Volkswagen mold, meaning that these covers could be the first look at Shattered Glass Soundwave, and possibly his cassettes.

Who said it wasn't, I don't know what these people did in college.
If they really do use the Netflix model then I have to ask, would it have really killed them to wait just a little longer for the exclusivity to run out for the Legacy release? I don't know why they were so desperate to get Siege Soundwave back out there with how often it was being bashed the first time around.

As we are hypothesizing with Goldbug, it could be that the exclusivity is not the mold itself but the mold/deco combo, so the actual release which is exclusive. So while they can't reissue the Netflix Soundwave toy themselves, they could release the mold in SG colours.

That's got to be it. Legacy Soundwave using the Netflix mold would have just been a straight reissue. But a completely different deco with a completely different color scheme is apparently allowed, as evidenced by Goldbug using the Netflix mold.william-james88 wrote:Emerje wrote:TOO MUCH ENERGON! wrote:That artwork looks like it was done by your college buddy’s weed dealer.

And a different head as well. Not sure if it's a must but that's another difference between Netix Bee and goldbug. It was also the only toy in that pack not to come with the other head.

Some were hoping Goldbug would have an extra head, but that it would be the same head in gold to make it Marvel Goldbug.william-james88 wrote:Sabrblade wrote:That's got to be it.

That might explain Bugbite as well. I really hope they come up with some alternate versions of exclusive heads so we can avoid this in the future.

Not very hard at all.
He is super cool. This mold looks soooooooooo much better in these colors. The Delta head is nice and I like the visor look. But that skeleton head is just so cool. And with the swords, the look is really nice.
After having experienced the Laser Prime mold and now the proper release, they made the right choice here. This mold works with the colors despite being a bit too bulky for my liking and they got the head right, and the Laser Prime mold really let me down, so I feel that mold would not have worked any better.

Great, I'll take a look. Thank you!

I feel way better about him than Kingdom Magnus despite them being the same mold. Likely because Kingdom replaced Siege so quickly it left a sour taste in my mouth from buying that mold.

I am definitely well pleased, but I have some opinions.

I'm very surprised to see someone not digging the SG head and already parting ways with it. Well if anyone wants an extra one it's there!

Doesn't surprise me, they're either just not SG fans and bought it to be Delta Magnus or they bought two and have no use for spare heads.

Some people just don't like storing stuff they aren't using, like the people selling HasLab Unicron stands and Commander Rodimus Prime trailers.
Then there's people like me who have the card back of every figure they've bought since the 90s.

He should swap cassettes with regular Blaster.

Does anyone recall the good ol' days concept of making relatively even numbers of Good Guys & Bad Guys?
Because right now, Megatron & Starscream are more than a little @#$%Ed.
EVIL AUTOBOTS
Optimus Prime
Bumblebee
Wheeljack
Blaster
Eject
Blurr
Goldbug
Ultra Magnus
Skyfire
Ratchet
HEROIC DECEPTICONS
Megatron
Starscream

You listed both Bumblebee and Goldbug. You're missing Flamewar and technically that's not Wheeljack it's Slicer, plus you can choose to count his exo suit or not (I'm counting him). Plus if you're counting Rewind you also have to count Fireglide. And then we're expecting Soundwave as the final figure for wave 2 (may or may not come with Ravage and Laserbeak).
That makes things a little more even with:
Optimus Prime
Ratchet
Goldbug
Jetfire
Blurr
Blaster
Rewind
Ultra Magnus
Megatron
Starscream
Slicer
Exo-Suit (for me he's SG Fasttrack or "Red Roritchi")
Flamewar
Fireglide
Soundwave(?)
Ravage(?)
Laserbeak(?)
Things are a little more even than you think.
