XxGeck0xX

miscreant
Allright, now i'm cautiously optimistic.
ike_ike
hellooooo, laserbeak ...

my very rusty memory is telling me that proportion wise this guy is a bit neater than the 3rd party one. although knowing my memory they could well be identical
Cheem The Rup
Just some comparisons I made quickly...

Amazon page also mentions he can hold 3 cassettes and suggests more will be released in the future.
Detroa
Bought, bought, bought, bought, bought, bought.

Uh... Ahem.

brilliant! yeah, i think the masterpiece does win out. the other looks a bit over greebled and long in the torso
Wyvern
That Laserbeak is amazing. Stick a fork in FT's Acoustic Wave.... It's done.
opt1musaber
Judging by the Optimus comparison he is a bit smaller, obviously it's rough, but I hope he's at least the same size as MP-10, afterall Soundwave was a big bot in the cartoon.

Yeah they did. Wow. I want this bad. Glad I preordered at BBTS.
sunnyswipe
how the hell did they manage a complete laserbeak that turns into a cassette? have they discovered actual mass-shifting!?
TigerBlade
Holy shit that looks good!! Looks better than FT's too IMHO. Lovin' Laserbeak too, can't wait to see Ravage, Rumble & Frenzy.

MP line is certainly starting to hit the high notes now!

That assumes the new cassettes are the same size as the old ones/Classics Ravage. They might be a little larger - hence Soundwave will be MP-10 size. Which is what I'm hoping for.

I was referencing to FT's ' Acoustic Wave'
that was a kick up the balls Takaratomy needed to come up with this remarkable piece of engineering that is MP-13 Soundwave.

Gotta say, I think if FT's can get FT02 out there for $100 there will still be a market for it. I think he has a slightly nicer, more detailed bot mode to be honest.
I think it's odd seeing proper feet of Soundwave, but I guess the trade off is better articulation, which looks to be excellent.
Overally, looking at the grey proto's, i'm 95% going with Taktom, unless he turns out to be tiny.

Really? I see extra alt mode kibble on those legs, and the design could be neater around the crotch area, which really looks flimsy.
EDIT: Also, no neck?

Anybody else note the remarkable similarity to FT02?? I know there's only so many ways to make a robot turn into a box, but still...

This official TakaraTomy Soundwave looks better than both 3rd party version in terms of proportions, altmode and amount of surface detail.

The 3rd Party soundwave just has too much surface detail, in a style which imo doesn't fit. As a result of that, the altmode also looks compromised... especially the area around the window.

Agreed on this. Anyway I'll support always any 3rd Party maker will give me what I want....
Wyvern
This is a grey prototype. Looks like an early one too. I'm sure they'll clean it up a lot.

Yes, I do! I actually thought there was a mixup with the pics but they do look amazingly similar. Once you look at MP 13 closer though it looks better imo.
Trailbreaker77
Laserbeak looks awesome! It looks like he has the video camera in the top of his head.
Backpack
Sucks that those are exclusive.
GAUGE0001
well our amazon has their exclusives so, it's only fair.
Fort Max
Not fussed about those at all.
Stepper
Sorrry pardon me but what is this "Dinobot Island (Part 1)" all about.
Stepper
It will be more expensive with 2 more energon cube? I will just get the normal mass release version.
Fort Max
It's the episode these particular pile drivers featured in.
Stepper
The pile drivers are the weapons right? So the normal mass release do not come with pile drivers? Ridiculous
Composite Ghost
Post a picture.

Those are neat accessories, but I'm not too fussed about getting them.

Takara may release all the cassettes in a boxset,we shall wait.
Stepper
So anyone will be getting the Amazon version just for the piledrivers sake?
Trailbreaker77
Damn, maybe the Hasbro version will have these included with it as well.
Stepper
Right on,we will never know except to wait & wait.
SpicyRichter
Man that's a real shame those are exclusive. Like the idea of the cubes attaching to SW
spartan 3764
if only Soundwave came with Energon-o's indgrediant chest panel,then ided get him
