Bumblebee = FOR GOD'S SAKES GIVE THAT BOT A NEW FACE.
Posted by Tigertrack on January 28th, 2009 @ 7:12am CST
BB's face just turns me right off. Most bots I keep in bot mode, but IF I get him, he will be in alt mode, probably near forever.

and as for the 'comments' on the actual artical why cant people understand that soundwave cant be a cd player because soundwave needs to be big and scary (and im hoping a little pshcopathic) and he cant be a small bot like frenzy.

I imagine that is a 'super weapon' mode or something...but yes, I am sure you are right that it does.

I second that!!! I'll probably get Bumblebee also once he comes out, but the face ... THE FACE !!!!

BB's expression looks as though Soundwave just stuck his "Ravage" appendage where the Sun don't shine, Decepticon prisoner style.

you are right on that point.

Damn, Soundwave looks freaking AWESOME! Gimme!
Posted by Cyber Bishop on January 28th, 2009 @ 8:31am CST
He may be the only one from this line that I actually do pick up.
Posted by zero-kaiser on January 28th, 2009 @ 8:36am CST
Soundwave looks awesome though, definatley going to be picking up one of those.
Nemesis Hacker has a good point to.. the ones crying out that he's not some kind of music playing device made me chuckle.
"He's 'apposed to be ah tape deck!!1!"
...ahem
I think the names perfect for a Decepticon Communications Officer/satellite.

If so, Soundwave better be in it, he looks awesome
Posted by Mykltron on January 28th, 2009 @ 10:03am CST
SW looks good in these pics cos they gave him a great paint job. He'll look cheap n nasty in real life. And I don't like it when the fists face that direction.
But for god's sake Hasbro, is that the best pic you could get of BB's car mode?

That's the Deluxe BB, not the new Voyager one, right?

Yup, its the deluxe one alright.. just with a slight retool of the chest, new head sculpt, and a new right forearm.

lol, right after i post this, on the main page a reminder comes up that it will be on, along with the GI Joe trailer
I still think Soundwave will be a satellite.

every time we get new pictures, or news, or something regarding ROTF, my hart shatters into a million tiny pices, and my soul ceases to exist(im not emo, im just joking around with my emotions).

And I really don't see the issue with Bumblebee's head.
No one can just get over the fact it's a kids toy...

As for Soundwave - his body in bot mode is just too busy however he won me over with his updated, G1 reminiscent headsculpt. Did the article say anything about when we can expect the preview wave?

Yeah I hope I can see his (possible) earth mode toy first--if I like that better I'll only get that mode. Otherwise, this toy is looking pretty tough to beat. I like a unique alt-mode mixed in now and then (too often and its not unique!).

prolly march or april
Posted by Wheeljack144 on January 28th, 2009 @ 6:15pm CST
I love the tape deck but without mass shifting its not fair to the character to continue the G1 style.
Besides, I've come to understand the movies as a reenvisionment of the franchise, and not March of the Homages.
Though I still want a Grimlock dinosaur. The animatronic T-rex in Toys R Us in Manhatten would suit me fine.

I'd skip this one and buy the Voyager.
Posted by Savage on January 29th, 2009 @ 12:19am CST
Bumblebee is alright, but I'll skip him, My movie 1 Bumblebee figures are enough for me. As for the face, I too hate it. I much prefer his "battle mask." I would have been fine if it had been the only face he had.

But seriously, I'm hoping that the way they're going to play this is that as they spend more time on Earth that they start to develop more humanistic elements (such as the hands...).
Mind you, I'm not going to hold my breath.
Oh, and yay! Looooooong time reader, first time poster! Hazaah! Happy to be finally putting my 2 cents worth in!

i agree, personally my way would be to have what ever scenes in it then towards the end a space shot moving away from earth slowly revealin SW in his satalite mode with some nice satalite sound effects

Soundwave looks deliciously wicked in his 'bot mode. He'll look greast on my shelf where G1, Cybertron series and TFA Soundwave are already side-by-side. (still need to find a leather jacket for TFA Soundwave).
I wish I still had G1 ActionMaster Soundwave for the collection but this new one is going to top all of them for bad-assness, even the Cybertron series one.
