jerky123:
Will be bought on sight.
Appears that Ratbat is bigger than Laserbeak in robot, but smaller the Laserbeak in alt.
ORIO:
Its a KEYTAR that turns into RATBAT. Freakin' sold.
IronhidePrime:
Ratbat's wings have joints?
galvascream:

What are you talking about? ES Soundwave's back has a totally different paint scheme judging from those pictures.
He shall be Animated Soundblaster to me, though! Interestingly, it would appear the light-piping designed into the mold actually will be used this time (it was nutered in the original release, like Universe Tankor/Octane's light piping). I shall enjoy my Animated Soundblaster and Ratbat, they will be an excelent addition to my Soundwave band.
Now I just need a vocalist...
optimusfan:
I am so looking forward to this, mostly for the keytar. Ratbat keytar = win.
Sage o' G-fruit:
Hrm.
The more pictures I see, the less I'm sold.

Cybertron Soundwave, considering his character. (Or lack thereof)
Optimus747:
Can't wait for this!
SPLIT LIP:
Ratbat looks much better here. Much more bat-ish.
Seaspray:
So tempted to get this to honor my favorite singer. - and no it isn't Kanye.
Bgrngod:
Ratbat is awesome... even if his transformation is at a McDonald's Happy Meal toy skill level.
Definitely getting that one. I was previously a little turned off by the color on Soundwave, but since he is "In fiction" I want him too.
Gligamesh51:
How long has this mold been out and they forget to transform the shoulder wheels in bot mode?
Anyway, I will picking this up day one if I can!
Johnator:
My God that is ugly.
The_Black_Sheep:
I think I may have changed my mind about Soundblaster...

I think Galvascream is referring to how some people's Soundwaves seem to have paint rubbing off on his back.
Mechafire:
Bought on sight.

No, I know he was talking about the problem with SW's sticky paint (it's on my SW, too), but he was saying they DIDN'T fix it with ES Soundwave, and I just don't see how they didn't when the paint scheme is still intact on that sample yet totally different in paint apps.
cryotek:
I wished they could do something with Ratbat's face in his alt mode. At least Laserbeak looks like guitar...
Paxtin:
I really wish they had actually made him Black and not Charcoal.
Oh well, he still looks pretty neat. I'll most likely pick him up.
SoundFire Prime:
I normally don't buy or even CONSIDER buying repaints of any kind, not even Seekers (with the exception of owning both grey and purple Animated Shockwave), but after seeing that one picture of Ratbat, I'm seriously considering nabbing this bad boy...and Freeway Jazz, which I must admit is wicked sick.
soymonk:
Ratbat mode doesn't as bad as I originally thought. Really like this 2 figure set.
SmokescreenGT:
Ratbat's cool. I wish I didn't have to get another Soundwave in order to get him, though.
megatronkicksas:
Ratbat, how could you allude me so?

Ratbat is making a reference to you?
JazzEd:
I want this so bad!!
T-money:
Yay Animated.

I see what you did there...your visual play on words is most impressive.
Feralstorm:
Looking fully decent, though I'll admit I'm more interested in Ratbat than slate gray Soundwave.
Scantron:
For me, Ratbat is the figure I'm buying and Soundblaster is the accessory that just happens to come with it. Ratbat looks great, and I'll probably give him to Soundwave, but Soundblaster is fairly unimpressive and he'll likely end up in the bottom of one of my Tupperware containers.
brr-icy:
ratbat is nice, but soundblaster is too grey, wasn't that grey in the show
BB Shockwave:
He's awesome.
Ratbat is cute, the only thing I don't like on him is the big hole on his forehead. I guess it's because his head is on a ball-joint? Or why?
And seriously, ALL people who have posted Soundwave reviews so far are forgetting to transform his arm-wheels properly. He looks much better with the wheels turned inside, as they look like sound blasters.

Actually, yes he was.
I'm more iffed by them not painting his fingers purple like on the show.
Z.U.D.O.N:
Ratbat is pretty impressive, but Soundwave's colours there suck IMO.
grimlock1972:
so bought on sight
UTK007:
I thought he was going to be grey in color...

Grimlock_13:
I don't mind Animated Soundwave all that much and a Keytar TF is too idiotically awesome to pass up...if I have some extra cash when it's released of course.
tony77tony77:
anyone knows when hes coming out?
lollypop:
why dont they call him soundblaster?
lowem:
Nice keytar. Dig the equalizers too.

Animated doesn't do that like other lines do. Only seekers and the two Bumblebee repaints get different names.
ghowildseven:
Will buy this. The Keytar and red Soundwave windoes are nice.

Oh, wow. I didn't know that Soundwave actually did that in the show. Now the question comes as to wether or not to finally break open that Legends Cyb. Soundwave I've kept MISB for so long, or to try and track down voyager Cyb. Soundwave...
ES Soundwave comes first, though!

Because he wasn't called Soundblaster, he was still called Soundwave in that form, and even then he only appears in that form within the virtual reality he puts the Autobots into.
That doesn't mean
we as the fandom can't call him Soundblaster. Hell, that's what I'm doing, since it makes more sense for ES Soundwave to really be the rebuilt form of normal Soundwave ala his G1 counterpart.
artiepants:
Ratbat is so terrible i can scarcely believe it made it past concept...
