Great review mate!
I was just going to get the minions, and Blaster, but Soundblaster looks nice and Ive never had one before.
Hope he comes to USA before xmas lol

It's nifty. At the risk of being cynical, the size is probably dictated by the gimmick. The disc-bots probably can't get much smaller without either breaking some safety edict or risking the spring-pop not working, and Soundwave has to house them and (hopefully) look more proportional than a toaster oven with feet.

I like that mold but I will stick with DLX WFC Soundwave due to scale

True - anyone else miffed that they made the front wheel & feet transformation much lazier than the Deluxe mold?

I have the deluxe, but the minion gimmick and the headsculpt makes this a must buy IMO.

Looks like the head has lightpiping, but is it painted over?

Laserbeak looks to me very similar to how he looks in Autocracy.

Especially as it looks like they kept his holo-projector.

Yes, sorry I didn't mention it. Soundwave has red light piping and Soundblaster has yellow. Soundblaster's works really well too.

I was going to totally pass on Wavey here, because of two things:

#Not very fond of the "crab claws" on the chest.
#His "tape truck tank thingy" mode, just doesn't work for me.*
*These are also the reasons, why I passed on the Deluxe bugger too.

But,the more I think of it...I love this guy. The only reason I even want this guy is the scale; darn TCracker posting that one picture of him with Hegemon in that one thread. Ow, I also like the gimmick. The gimmick is awesome.

Anyone else see that the gun with Soundwave is Prime's G1 Rifle?

Yes, everyone did. Except for the fact that he didn't actually come with it, which is a damn shame.
