Regardless, with that colour scheme for Laserbeak...

Was gonna say the same thing. Is that Soundwave's new alt-mode now? An oven? Eh, still probably a better alt-mode than a tape-deck these days since most folk still use ovens.
These toys... they look pretty lousy. I dunno. Maybe they're more fun to play with than look at. One step and flip and change thingies were pretty poor looking but I could understand the quick transform appeal for younger folk.

If so they can retool him into Helex (DJD).

BTW, been playing around with Ultimate Optimus and he really isn't a terrible figure. He isn't a particularly good figure, but he does have some interesting features that he probably didn't have to have like the folding panels on his shoulders and the panel under his feat that forms the sides of the truck. Plus he has a TON of paint on the cab. His chest doors are clear blue and mostly painted over along with large spring-loaded portion of the top of the truck. All for the sake of having clear windows. I also like the atypical leg transformation so his toes aren't sticking out the back. I'm sure we've seen that before, but I can't think when. And I'm digging the low profile truck mode, it's wide and low. Shame the gimmick is annoying as all hell and likes to pop out if you accidentally hit the button or just barely tap the top of the truck. Still, if you like the cartoon and can find one on sale then go for it.

Some already beat me to the chest burster.
Looks like a fun gimmick and is that the Soundwave with that sweet mural?

Ha, jeez and thanks. I can't keep track of all these toys. Guess you newsies need to do a "all the Soundwave toys of 2019" articleZeroWolf wrote:Nah Cary, the mural Soundwave us part of the Bumblebee Movie line
I remember seeing the pop-o-matic chest minion gimmick somewhere and thought it was cool and fitting of the character and the line wide gimmick. Both Cyberverse and the Bee toys have very fun toy gimmicks.
Whelp, I guess that's two C-list Soundwaves I'll be considering

They are meant for an even younger audience than the R.i.D. toys so don't complain. They are not meant for you
Just get the Generations toys.

I've seen some of the Ultras on clearance as well, but not Shockwave.

In whose right mind thought that those would be a good idea or even be selling well?

I know that, but at the same time, RiD was meant more for little kids, but its warriors still kicked butt. I wish they had kept that frame of mind

Me too. Some if those transformarions and designs were more originsl than what we were getting in the generations line. What I find crazy is that its the same Hasbro team behind both toylines.

Jon informs us that the sighting was made at a Walmart in the Los Angeles area, so these should and could be hitting shelves near you now!
Happy hunting folks!

Both the Warrior and Ultra class toys for Shockwave are pretty well articulated (compared to the rest of the line, that is).Nathaniel Prime wrote:I'm only interested in Soundwave and the more articulated(ultra?) Shockwave.

Chuck himself says:
chuckdawg1999 wrote:Ultra Class Slipstream is a good figure. While not overly articulated it does enough to have a fair amount of play value. The action gimmick is relatively unobtrusive and fun, while the transformation is surprisingly involved for a simplified figure. Overall I feel this is worth a look if not a purchase.
So thought's on this figure? Watch the video below and tell us your thoughts in the Pub forums below!

Yeah, his knee joints arent even in the right place. Instead his knees are sculpted detail.

Here's a snippet of Chucks thoughts on the figure:
Chuckdawg1999 wrote:The Warrior Class from the Cyberverse line has been hit or miss, mostly miss. Soundwave benefits from a gimmick that isn't tied to a limb or something more intrusive. Yes it's still a simplified figure, and it doesn't have the articulation most collectors would want, but it's an overall good figure that I feel a lot of fans and collectors would be satisfied with.

chuckdawg1999 wrote:Hot Rod is an ok figure but I think a lot of collectors and fans are going to find it lacking. The flame gimmick is ok but it really doesn't do much and doesn't look to have any offensive purpose. Transformation is fun but there isn't a stand out wow moment. I think only fans of the character will really want the toy.

Poor Warrior Class, it was so great (most of the time) during RiD.
