[Nelson]This just confirms that the toy companies will bring out the Mercedes as a Transformer, like they did with the tow truck from movie 1.[/Nelson]
just got the comic adaptation issue #1. soundwave's robot mode has the benz logo dead center on his chest.
Not really. Thundercracker is a jet, still perfectly workable in a modern setting. Soundwave was a tape deck, a mode that is irrelevant in modern settings. He's settled into being all kinds of modern vehicles, personally I think the TF Prime spyplane or the RotF satellite work best though for actual involvement in a story, a car works. Besides, as a spymaster, he'll pick a mode that suits the task at hand. Soundwave is the kind of robot who picks alternate modes to further his mission.
Why is Ratchet green? Why is Ironhide Black? Why is Sideswipe Silver? Why is Mirage..sorry "Dino", red? Maybe there's a trend there.
