Thanks to yizhi521 of TF08.net we have our first photos of what
appears to be the "Revenge of the Fallen" Soundwave figure.
The photos are blurry, and it is difficult to determine if it is indeed Soundwave (reported to be a satellite) - or if it is even a ROTF figure, but the design aesthetic fits.
See the photos
here.

It seems a bit premature to say that this is a Movie Transformer or that it's Soundwave.
Granted, the figure in the middle picture seems to have some sort of Laserbeak resting on his shoulder.
But that's just my opinion.
The other pictures don't seem to actually *be* anything, do they?
One seems like a crab, and the other seems like a Gundam or something.
Or do I need new contact lenses?
Either way, it seems like a cool find.
If it's genuine, I'm not keen on what I'm seeing in the design.
If it's fake (or just not a Movie TF), I'm a little more open to it.

I can see how this might be a charater from the movie, but this looks A LOT like a bionicle to me. Look at the knees, thay're the same as the toa inika. Plus, it does't really look like itcould transform, or do much of anything really. But I geuss we'll see....

Whether or not this is valid, it makes me realize that Soundwave's satellite mode may not be terrestrial - it may be his cybertronian form.

That's exactly what I was thinking! Well, I was going to post that and saw your post so it's good to have someone else that agrees with me (arguably it's the other way round but I don't care). The feet actually look like Movie Blackout though and some of it's parts look a little less like a Bionicle's to me. However, these photos look to be from someone's home so they could just be purposely blurry and actually be a Bionicle or some type of un-hard-modded kitbash, if you know what I mean.

Yeah, looks like mishmash of different movie toy parts. Primes head, Megatrons chest, and Starscreams legs with his hands stuck on the shoulders. Either way this guy needs a new camera.

Ok, I just took some time to actually look at the photos and... does anyone see a beast head on it's shoulder?! It reminds me of that thing from that Duel Masters show... the giant dark lion thing. Except it's more skinnier and also reminds me of TM2 Megatron. Plus, is it just me or is that really Optimus Prime's head on it? I really do think it looks like Movie Prime's head!
I went to post this and UltraPrimal beat me to it... Yea, it looks like Megatron's chest because it has the automorph gimmick piece as far as I can tell. It DOES look like a mishmash. Hopefully... oh no... I hope they haven't actually made Soundwave like this and he uses parts of other TF's to make himself. Eh, I doubt it.

pictures blurry...... i say they have been taken with cellphone camera.
looks like megatron figure to me with some minor modifications and a prime head to add to it better CLEAER pictures would help decide pictures look like they where taken like this on perpouse to have everyone decieved into thinking this is soundwave.
show me clear picture better than this ill take back what i said if proven wrong.

Oh wait, and if I squint really hard and stand on my head, it looks like the Loch Ness Monster.
Seriously though, this looks like a big mishmash of movie bits. I hope it's a hoax and not SW. Yuck.

I don't know what it is. The blurryness of the picture makes it hard to identify.
Perhaps it is a mock-up for a new movie toy. Because the huge silver "spikes" don't look factory.

in my humble opinion, this is atotal, 100% kitbash with no real link to the movie. No way can you get photo quality that bad Unintentionally, plus its posed on assorted household items. Move along, there's nothin to see here people.

squinting real hard i see the torso looks almost too much like starscream. the chest is wide at the biceps but gets slender at the abdomen and that orangey spot is the same place as starscream's cockpit. the legs bear a slight resemblance to starscream's as well though the whole thing is a bit more humanoid. i don't know what to make of it after all that. is it starscream? dose soundwave look like starscream for some reason? is it an unnamed seeker in cybertron mode?

i was going to say that it looks like an unnamed seeker -but someone beat me to it. The next post is even better --it could be the prime/jetfire hybrid. This could be a total spoof, this guy's camera can't be that bad, even if it's an old camera phone, it'll at least have 1+MP to mess around with it. The resolution was probably downgraded on purpose -too grainy

The silvery blade things could be swords. Could this be some strange megatron?
"UPDATE"
the blades could be stinger's stingers. could stinger be a combiner?

Could be the figure for the satellite mode Soundwave. Those 'blades' remind me of tuning forks a bit.
Still, I see no reason to think its Soundwave other than somebody already assuming so. This one is a "wait & see" until more info comes in.

Another thought; Maybe the satellite in question that he turns into at first isn't even an Earth type sattellite - maybe its his Cybertronian Protoform?

Shrinking the image down a bit helps as these pictures resolution is WAY too high for how garbled they are.
The first image (in Skowl's post) is obviously some kind of Alt form... those "blades" could be the equivalent to satellite solar panels.
When I heard Soundwave was going to be a satellite I figured it would be a Cybertronian satellite... so this could be a test model, but I am unconvinced. As others have said.. surely you could get better pictures than this if it is as crucial as it claims to be?

yizhy521 the poster who posted the first blurry images of what seems to be Transformers Revenge of the Fallen Soundwave has updated his thread with new clearer images.
He seems to have taken size comparison images with what seems to be a box of cigarettes or a trading card deck holder. He also confirms in one post that it is in fact a satellite.

I can't say for certain which TF parts were involved in the creation of this but I would say that a fair amount of tequila was used before assembly began. Someone is yanking the fans chain on this and I, for one, am not amused by it.

I love all the people who think this is fake, because his feet look like Blackout's or Megatron's or his body looks like Megatron's...
I have my movie toys in front of me right now, and though parts of this supposed Soundwave figure look like parts of other bots, it's to be expect since the same people design all the bots with the same style - and look closely, they aren't the same feet or body or legs or whatever. They look similar, but they aren't.
And by the look of the comparison pics, it looks like this guy is a Voyager-class figure, though probably on the smaller side like Blackout (although that is still better than the "deluxe" Animated toys that are no bigger than the Cybertron scout figures...)

If this is the real deal - and I'm not saying that I believe it is -, then I seriously hope it is mistransformed.
It just looks bad.
Like Movie Leader Megatron bad.

If it is genuine... then I hope it's just a crap toy and the movie rendition looks far superior. Which it probably will, you can't judge a film character with a toy... especially if that's one of the smaller, cheaper ones (hell, maybe even a mock-up at this stage)
But yea... that alt mode looks broken, completely. True a Cybertronian satellite can look like pretty much anything but come on
Question still remains, if Soundwave is a satellite, this doesn't necessarily prove he has a robot form in the film; I'm thinking of Scorponok having that awkward robot mode in toy form.
True there could be flashbacks, him descending to Earth, or transforming in space Unicron style...
Who knows until we see some official concept art, or failing that, the trailer or the movie itself lol

Actually, yea, I shrunk the resolution in MS Paint by 50% and you can actually make it out a heck of a lot better. If anyone wants me to, I could send in all the photos at the smaller resolution or on of the admins/mods could do it. It actually does not look much like Prime's head OR Megatron's chest or anyone's feet now. It actually looks really cool! Though I agree, it could be the Optimus Prime/Jetfire combination. It suits, I guess.

I keep seeing the Prime-head comment about the boards. But considering the 'ear'/crown kibble there and the apparent faceplate, they could easily be Bayverse tags to the more traditional/iconic Soundwave's head.
Hmm....looking at it, folks elsewhere have it right; It does have a Fast Action Battler quality to it..

Hmm, I downsized it in MS Paint by 50% and it looks a heck of a lot better. I'm not sure if it's Soundwave, but I could sure see it as him. It also seems kind of kiddy, like (others have said before me) a fast action battler.
