    He does have somethings in common with Animated Megatron. but he also looks a lot like a Robotech hover tank.

    I'm actually surprised at how well these turned out. Not revolutionary by any means, but not bad at all.

    Yep. I'm Sold on WFC aesthetics. I wasn't impressed at first. In fact, almost kinda loathed it. But now, I am super amazed by how awesome everything looks.

    Soundwave's robot mode just screams Animated and G1... oh wait, Animated was a homage to G1, d'oh.

    Definite pick-up - the best of the WFC toys besides maaaaybe Prime.

    EDIT: Now that I look at it, Megatron's toy looks loads better than earlier pics.

    Megatron has some problems, but similarities to Animated Megatron aren't the source of them. The main problem is the craptacular Tank mode. It almost looks like it was designed as a triple changer, but they gave up. It's somewhat reminiscent of TFA Blitzwing, with the folded up wings, but both Blitzwing's altmodes were better than this... and that's not saying much.

    And look at those stupid treads tacked on the side like an afterthought.

    Soundwave seems like someone I'll have to see in person to get a good impression of. The grill-spike things make his torso look fat at first sight, but looking at him a bit more makes him seem a bit thinner, which is good. Megatron looks very nice. I'll probably wind up getting all the WFC figs anyway. I hope Ratchet and Starscream follow, since those could easily serve as repaints.

    Honestly, the cow-catcher kills Soundwave for me.

    Wasn't sure what to expect for WFC Megs and Wave. But I am glad I preordered them before their official pics were revealed. It looks like August will also be an expensive month.

    Meh, not impressed. Megatron looks like a hybrid of Classics and Animated Cybertron Megs. Soundwave just isnt right somehow. I hope he's just mis-transformed and he'll look better later.

    Megatron looks cool, some problems here and there. But Soundwave maybe some problems with the feet, kibble, and etc. And that his alt mode looks odd, but still he looks sweet. And its close to a CHUG as we can get intil Hasbro makes one in the future. So their both a maybe on my list, but that could change.

    I dig em both. I'd almost replace my Classics Megs with that one, but... probably too small. Soundwave looks cool, too.
