    I know most people don't care about the human figures, but my main issue is that Dylan is smaller than Sam. The Soundwave figure itself looks good to me, except for the lack of silver.

    What the flip is going on here? Not only that disgusting grey but his head doesn't even look the same from the comic con prototype. I dont see his open mouth unless it is so badly painted black it disappears. Dylan smaller than Sam = funny. That is the definition of lazy production.

    His bot mode does look a bit strange (and why can't they add a balljoint for the head?), but that alt mode is a thing of beauty. I'm a car guy, so I may be a little biased, but the SLS AMG makes this mold...if they come out with a HA Dino, I'd be all over that too.

    Again, yet another Con with no distinguishable mouth! Like I've said in the past, I became a Transformers fan because of the 07 movie. But I'm so sick of how these bayformers are looking...accept OP, SP Megatron and a few others. One thing I really hate is how all the Cons either have a vagina mouth with sharp teeth, or no mouth at all like Starscream. Really, why give them sharp teeth?!?! Hell, while I'm at it, the Dreads, worst "transformers" in all the movies.

    No longer want this Soundwave, so short...among others things...

    ... am I the only one who likes it a lot more after seeing this?

    I prefer the visor look, Laserbeak looks amazing, the size is a bit disappointing, but since I have no other HA figures it'll just make him fit in better with Legends Ravage. Plus, I would like to see more size comparisons shots. As people have said, Bumblebee is the freakishly tall one of the HA family. Between budget cuts AND accessory figures they're all smaller.

    Really want to try giving the Lazooka to WfC Soundwave, and try giving HA SW the G1's weapons.

    Still getting the Deluxe version, but this is now on my "going on Xmas list, if a family member gets it for me then awesome, if not... ah well" list. Which is a step up. Plus, I LOVE that alt-mode. The gull wing doors... drool...

    Wasn't the SDCC version just hand-painted? Hasbro does that often when they unveil new toys to make them look better than the actual product.

    Well as i stated before, i infact turned my favor from deluxe to this after seeing his and his human's shrinked sizes. i don't normally collect Ha figures and this is actually in better scale in bot mode with leaders and Rotf cars than shrinked Dotm deluxes. He would make an awesome battle display with BB Bumblebee while Gould and Laserbeak are perfectly scaled with Dotm HA Basics humans, which i have a few.

    Yup, and so were the Prime figures.


    Bummer that you guys don't like it, but I hope this makes it easier to find him online. I still predict that people that eventually give him a chance will change their opinion after a while, just like with Leadfoot.

    I had no plans to buy him, and this doesn't change things. Then again, the only HA figures I've kept are Jazz and the Basics, so maybe it's more telling that HA in general isn't really for me.

    I await some in-hand deluxe shots to determine if I'll own any movieverse Soundwave.

    Nowadays TakaraTomy is doing a "shortcut" too as in they do not make better finishing for Japan toys.

    Here's my issue: is the car in scale with the other HA cars?

    If so, then, yeah, small robot mode sucks, but I can swallow it easier if the car is as big/small as it's supposed to be compared to the others ('Bee, 'Cade, Jazz, etc).

    At least there is one benefit from a lot of people not liking this guy: makes it easier for me to find him! He'll look great with the deluxe and legion toys.

    Personally, I prefer the visor. It suits the overall aesthetic of the design better. That said, if I get him it'll mostly be for Laserbeak and to have a HA enemy for Bumblebee. This thing is painfully small, and the grey plastic should really have been replaced with something more reflective so it would look better without paint.
