That figure looks nothing like this...

It's like designers decided to go back 40 years with quality.

SMH...Hasbro failed with this one.

 

The toy does not correspond to the artwork? I´m SHOCKED and APPALLED, but mostly SHOCKED.

 

No bio for Soundblaster??

 

Can't wait for them over here in uk, hopefully new size class will speed them up.

I would have liked if hasbro had ironical put the two bots in one pack and gave you no clue who is who  ! Still i understand how they did it! Not sold on the ratbat-laserbeak/buzzsaw remold.

Well done i remember mine, kinda blew my mind when they chatted about on the podcast!

ps: this is my only response to the colour

 

I don't think they popped up in FoC, but they did in WfC as part of the Soundwave boss fight.

And they went with cartoon colors.

People need to remember that the cartoon is almost THE authority on G1 anymore, certainly the first thing referenced for stuff like colors.


Takara's version has the names reversed  

 

Actually, I'm pretty sure when you played as Soundwave, your special abilities involved ejecting Frenzy and Laserbeak.

Now my comment about the toys: Want! I also decided I want to get FoC Voyager Soundwave now since I was on the fence about him before (despite how neat he looked).

 

Auto-transform? Ugh, hate that gimmick. In that case, I'll definitely pass on the Decepticon data discs and just stick with the Classics-style figures that have been produced for most of those characters. Still undecided whether I'll get Blaster and/or his disc partners or not.

 

OK, that answers my question, and reason enough for the toys to follow suit.

And HERE's where you get at least half the crowd to turn on you.  

(you gonna git SMOG'd)

 

proving once again there is no benchmark for size.

 

See this is why you're my best bud!

You're the only one who gets me.

I so wanna buy you a present!

 

They're neat. Definitely buying these along with Soundwave, Blaster and his minions.

 

They look interesting but pass. Still have G1 cassettes and Universe Ravage dispalyed with deluxe WFC Soundwave.

 

BBTS have got preorders for the autobot pucks from TakTomy

TG15 - Autobot Data Disc Set

 

after seeing the MP cassettes, i can't look past the flaws on these.

however, i wasn't planning on picking up voyager soundwave and i am planning on picking up MP soundwave, so it works out for me.

laserbeak looks really cool though.

 

They're ok I guess but I'll pass. Too bad, I'd love a decent Ratbat, but I just don't see it. I'll wait for MP's when it comes to cassettes.

I can't read the name "Sundor" without wondering what his burninating credentials are.

Or if he comes in the night.

 

am I the only one who's digging an autotransform gimmick on these?

I mean, voyager soundwave/blaster are still going to be the meat/potatoes here, and fully transformable. Getting these extra guys are kinda like upgrade kits for them. Having them just eject like in the game and not have to muck around with a transform is kinda a selling point for me with them. Considering they're meant to be simplistic/fun, and bonus add-ons to a larger base figure.

 

I don't mind the auto transform gimmick since it's something at least sorta unique. I already have PE and Masterpiece for intricate cassettes. And at this price point I doubt they'd look much better without auto transforming.

 

Since the automorph seems to remove alot of potential movement, thats a instant minus point right there. I wonder if removing the springs would help fix that..
