Transformers DOTM Deluxe Soundwave and Wheeljack on Display at NYCC

I'm loving all the new TF Prime stuff coming out. I only hope and pray that this is not going to be repeat of the TFA debacle, where many of us fell in love with the show and it's accompanying toys, only to have the rug pulled out from under us before it's time. (I know that there are those here that see that as a good thing, but I speak only for those of us who DID like TFA).

It would be a shame to invest so much in a series that just gets put down in it's prime.

Oops, looks like I just created a pun!

oh. still looks weird

Not liking either of there. Soundwave's head looks too big, and Wheeljack/Que's just...

Yeah, it threw me off for a second too.

True, but the place card has him labeled as WJ.

both look like crap, soundwave has to much kibble the mold itself is just bad but the head is the worst part & wheeljack/que looks like he'll break as soon as you touch it and just looks uninspired. It feels like hasbro is just rushing DOTM stuff out instead of sitting down for a while & trying to make it good. Still say DOTM is the worst line in TF history both concept & quality wise.

ok i never liked soundwave being a silver car to begin with, and now his figure has the whole roof and hood on his back, with no effort to hide any of it. que, looks ok and i actually dig that he's rockin the clip system, probably still wont get him. the Prime figures are what im looking forward to, i may just stick to the basics though, i dont exactly have any disply room left anymore

Wheeljack looks pretty good. I like his weapon. Assuming it has the right kind of peg, I might give it to my Voyager Ratchet. As for Soundwave, he looks great in vehicle mode, and he'd probably look good in robot mode if he were transformed correctly, but why does he have no silver paint? He'd be far better with silver paint! I honestly wouldn't mind if Hasbro got rid of all his other paint apps just so he could be all silver in vehicle mode. I suppose I'll have to use my silver Sharpie on him, which I don't want to do. The thing I hate most by far about the DOTM line is the all around crappy, minimal paint jobs.

how 'bout this.. instead of getting rid of his other paint apps.. WHY DON'T WE GET RID OF ALL OF THE SHITTY BUMBLEBEE REPAINTS and give soundwave a silver paint job lol. i bet that would make sense to mostly everyone else in the world except for hasbro apparently.

and i agree que looks great. i really like that color blue. it seems nice and rich.

all hail WHEELJACK!!! I AM SO GETTING HIM x3!!!

Um hmm Que looks much better now. Uhm (oh dear) It looks like My Maxwell's Silver Hammer Custom may now be H.A Soundwave not deluxe Soundwave. What do you who customize think?

This explains why I couldn't find any info on a "Q" character. Actually have been looking forward to this figure...both of them now.

I love that SOUNDWAVE! Absolutely picking this up! This is one DOTM I want repaints of, come on blue and gold G1 and Soundblaster!

deluxe soundwave, in this picture at least, reminds me of TFA Blurr.

Shouldn't Soundwave look a little more squaty? The toy's all lanky and really doesn't look like what I saw in the movie.

Wheeljack looks like a very good toy, very accurate, though for once his characterization would bother me when buying him. He didn't do crap in the movie.

I know this is totally off topic, but is there any news about that one unlicensed third party masterpiece soundwave? It looked cool.

I am blown away as to how close these 2 match their CGI counterparts. Soundwave is purely evil especially with that silver head and cannon. Que kicks ass, hopefully that olive green weaponry changes color between now and release date. I'll probably see these 'bout February, I just found the wave with Cyberfire BB yesterday.

I like Soundwave. Ill buy Wheeljack just to complete the movie lineup, but Bay really hit the ball to far out in the left field with "Que".

Your forgetting about all those horrible armada toys. you know the toys that look like preschool toys and were all dinky.

even the some of energons transformer toys were horrible, like ironhide

i would not say DotM is the worst. the problem is that Hasbro/Takara i guess are trying to save money.

especially in this pretty bad shaped economy lol

and i think soundwave is miss transformed. the movie figures do have more points of transformation then other series of transformers.

i do think the roof of the car on his back will fold ................ hopefully lol o.O

TF PRIME SCREAMER!!!!! <3<3<3<3<3

Both of these are awesome looking figures, but I simply don't like the design of Wheeljack. Soundwave is a pretty slick looking guy though. May actually have to pick him up.

Both looks good but that allspark baby blue has to go, there's no valid reason to put it on any of the figures. I'm also hoping we'll get a Legends or Scout class Laserbeak to accompany Deluxe Soundwave on his adventures.

They look like must-haves to me.

Soundwave looks sweet and is a must have shame he isnt silver as for Wj/Q not as bad as i thought but still off and i dont like the colours too much.

Would it be too much to ask to see a 2 pack of SW & WJ in G1 colours.

Megatron Wolf wrote:wheeljack/que looks like he'll break as soon as you touch it

How do you figure that? do you have one in hand or something?

I recommend calming down, you're not being forced to buy everything that's on a shelf right now, you can in fact, wait until something better comes out, or get stuff from past lines, until something better comes out.

Autobot Genocide wrote:Would it be too much to ask to see a 2 pack of SW & WJ in G1 colours.

Soundwave already had two of his figures repainted in a G1ey deco, so I think this version'll probably get one too, also there was a G1 WJ looking head in DOTM WJ's instructions instead of DOTM WJ's usually horrible noggin', so there might be a G1 repaint of him in the works.

I dunno.

Soundwave looks sorta nice, but I hope his back kibble is just not completely compacted. I was leaning toward the HA version anyway.

Wheeljack looks alright, far better than I was fearing from the unpainted prototypes. He, I'll probably get. But wasn't there a G1 style head in the works? If I like that one too, this guy can be Que on my shelf.

But but but..

Please Hasbro, it's Que. He said that too in the movie. And what are those hanging around his waist?

I think swave is mistransformed in the pic, as the first pic we got (see va'als post 2-3 above) has the front of the car swung round over his shoulders, and the hood folded flat against the back

the Prime designs must be more complicated or something. i can't believe how show acurate the Animated toys were compared to how different the Prime ones are to their show.

Bulkhead looks especially off, he looks so skinny and normal sized.

Maybe get Soundwave. Definitely NOT Quejack.

After inspecting the pics from Hasbro above and from NYCC it seems that Soundwave will be flat grey now? Same trick what they pulled with Sideswipe. I sure hope that will not be the case when he's released. The prototype pics posted above look far superior.

Don't get me wrong DOTM Sideswipe is a good sculpt but the dull grey annoys me it makes it look cheap.

Dorm SoundWave is still easily my most anticipated figure of the future. Judging by the original SW pics we got, he's prety mistransformed so I'm not worried about how the pics look now. He should look great with HA SoundWave's LaserBeak.

As for WheelQuak (this shall now be my name for WheelJack or Que or whoever he is), actually looks alright. Specifically all the weapons look very col, especially that spear. He was the one figure I was sure I wouldn't get, but now I' m not so sure...

i like how people think wheeljack (or the dumbass name que) is a peice of crap when hes the most accurate figure in the DOTM deluxe toy line...

Wheeljack robot > Soundwave robot
Soundwave car > Wheeljack car
Conclusion:
Buy both!

Is there any word on if and when the exclusives will be made available on HTS.com?

I might get the Soundwave when I see it Transformed correctly....

I know right? and his transformation doesn't even look that hard!

Fellow fansite TFW2005 has posted some new images of Transformers Prime Wheeljack, Soundwave and Cliffjumper on display in the Hasbro booth at NYCC 2011. This is an all new mold for Cliffjumper and not to be confused with the 1st edition figure. You can see the rest of the gallery here.

their feet are a bit too small. but i might still get sw.

Soundwave looks great,WheelJack look so good in real life and Clijjumper looks promising.

Whats the difference between this Cliffjumper and the first edition one?

th coolest thing would be if you hit a button on cliffy and the rocks voice comes out of him. wocka wocka!!

Sexy, but I still want to see Commander class Megatron and Starscream up close.

First edition had him as a zombie. He had a different head mold (sorta a snarling face), and he had clear purple spots all over him to imitate the effects of Dark Energon.

I'm undecided on buying the Prime line, but that Wheeljack is as good as bought.

These Prime toys are looking really good. SW and WJ are an instant buy for me. I'm not sure about which version of Bee and Cliff I will get though. For Cliff, I like the new body design of the new mold, but I hate the new yelling faces hasbro is making, they remind me of how much I hated Kup's face. Other than that though I think they've done an amazing job. As for Bee, from what I've seen, the old version looks a little more accurate imo, but I'll have to see more to come to any decisions.

There is something that bothers me a bit about these lines, and that is that they are making not making a lot of the faces plain. Like the fact that Cliff is yelling and that WJ and Prime both have their masks on, when the show doesn't have them on for a good majority of it. Small issue, won't stop me from buying them though.

Like I said many times before, can't wait till the line hits, I haven't had anyhting to buy since June and I need my TF fix bad. I also hope that with this new line Hasbro will clean up thier act a bit and be a little more consistant. It kinda bothers me that no one really knows what Hasbro is releasing or when. Makes it hard to plan what I want you know?

If you've seen the show, then your mind should be set on getting everything, like the rest of us humans.

Wheeljack is SO PIMP! Can't wait to score this entire line! Completist celebrate! An entire line worth your money! (IMO)
