New Animated Freeway Jazz & Electrostatic Soundwave Images & Bios

TM2 D-bot — Sun, 27 Sep 2009 07:27:04

The Arker has also given us new images of two upcoming Animated repaints: Freeway Jazz and Electrostatic Soundwave. Importantly the card backs explain to us the change in appearance for both figures. Jazz becomes inmersed in Earth culture while staying undercover on the planet because of Decepticon activity, while Soundwave grew tired and traded in Laserbeak for Ratbat.

Freeway Jazz's Bio:

With Decepticon activity at its peak near the galaxy rim, rumors begin to circulate that Earth may be getting more evil visitors as well. In anticipation of incoming Decepticons, Autobot Jazz goes undercover, inmersing himself in Earth culture where he hides in plain sight. He can enjoy the sights and sounds of Earth while planning the perfect moment to strike.

Electrostatic Soundwave's bio:

After a couple of years working alongside Laserbeak, Soundwave realized it was time for a change. His new partner, Ratbat, lets him lay down multiple tracks of sound at a time, creating frequencies that can do more than just control other robots. Now, Soundwave is into straight-up mind control. Using complex synch beats he can make people - and even the Autobots - do whatever he wants.
