RARE BIG VER Transformers Titanium SOUNDWAVE 7 INCH - eBay (item 190248609365 end time Sep-07-08 21:14:20 PDT) looks pretty spiffy to me. and i would thing the lack of metal wouldn't make the figure be weak in the knees. why the hell can't hasbro do this and slap a universe classics label on it. GRRRRR.
interesting, they gave him a face that looks like blaster, quite appropriate seeing how the alt mode looks. a repaint and he'd make a good blaster to the original soundwave toy. they also seem to show cybertron unicron and 4 swtf in the same line.
