    i can't believe the tapes actually transform. I wonder if this means hasbro is going to start licensing transformable TFs. That would be pretty cool, actually.

    Maybe they got Don Figeroa to wear a Puffy Shirt when he designed it! :D 

    Ouch!
    Such great work, for so less. :(

    Predicting a Soundblaster repaint with Buzzsaw, though it would be even cooler if he came with Ravage.

    Color me surprised also for that transforming Laserbeak. Did not think that would ever happen.

    Soundwave looks gorgeous, and I can live with the artistic liberties being taken here, specially at this size.

    I think he looks nice. I just don't see a need for this in my collection though.

    MP Soundwave is more than enough for me. :)

    I'm usually not one to buy non-transforming Transformers, but I want this. Awesome that it fits standard size cassettes, but for the price this will be it should be able to play them.

    Gotcha, thanks for the info!

    also it looks like laserbeak doesnt peg into his shoulder or arm like the MP versions of soundwave, not sure if im to stoked about that, but maybe you could rig a figure stand into the back of soundwave and suspend laserbeak above him? either or. Also he fits full sized cassettes holy crap thats amazing. im still defs getting this when he comes out.

    Wait... how is it possible for them to make a transforming Laserbeak figure? I thought Has/Tak retained the exclusive right to make actual transforming Transformers.

    So what's the Laserbeak perched on his shoulder then?

    Looks like a Masterpiece Laserbeak.
    So either he comes with a MP Laserbeak or all the pictures and displays include it to promote cross-compatibility.

    It could theoretically come with a bird mode Laserbeak, and a separate cassette mode one, neither of which can transform.

    But then, why would Laserbeak have pins running beneath his boosters, if not to allow them to flip over:

    The details on the cassette mode are also unnecessary if it isn't going to transform:

    [​IMG]


    There's too much that implies that this can definitely transform.

    It's almost the exact same design as Masterpiece Laserbeak, upscaled. It's definitely not simple the Laserbeak that comes with MP-13.


    Opening beak, better articulated legs, better articulated wings - I almost want to pick up this Soundwave just for this gorgeous Laserbeak!


    Sorry MMC, but this ski-footed fella isn't how you do cassette-sized Laserbeak

    HOT DAMN

    Yeah but the MMC laserbeak has a wider wing range and perching clamp feet. Much better than this version.

    Well clearly I disagree. I don't care for MMC's ski-feet. Good thing MMC already exists for you, and their other cassettes could also potentially go really nice with this Soundwave.

    I'm just fascinated to see a Soundwave that can carry around regular sized cassettes. I like the idea of Transformers this size (if only they transformed too!), though I don't care so much for this particular style - but it's great to see ideas like this come to life.
