| New, clear images of Transformers Revenge of the Fallen Soundwave! |
| Posted on 11-24-2008 at 02:44 PM by Sol Fury | | At long last! After being teased many times with blurry pictures, we are proud to present four clear images of Transformers Revenge of the Fallen Soundwave in robot mode! These images finally give a good idea of what Soundwave will look like, including a clear look at Soundwave's head and the back of the robot mode!

Hilarious. | You forgot:
"Bionicle!"
"KO!"
"Kitbash!"
"Fake!"
"Hoax!"
RemusLupo:
I'm pretty sure thats just his cybertron mode....I mean he looks nothing like an earth vehicle...I mean he looks more like a jet.
But still his back looks like theres a head?? whats with that?
Torque:
thats not a head, it just looks like one.
anyone else worried about the lack of Ravage here?
tony77tony77:
uh no thanks. I will pass on ugliness.
tigermask44:
Complete Garbage. The movie designs are tired and uninspired. Thank God for animated.
0R10N P4X:
I'm sure Ravage will be sold separately at multiple price points like most movie figures.

And like I said, a lot of it is just kibble arrangement. There's no big "OMG, That's a totally different figure!" moment, but a lot of that stuff folds up into a nicer configuration.
Torque:
im thinkin this is a preview figure, as there is no place for Ravage. im personally hoping that they do sorta what they did with Barricade/Scorponok and Barricade/Frenzy, but a little differently too
Deluxe Preview Soundwave (this one)
Voyager/Leader Soundwave w/ Mini-Ravage
Detailed Deluxe Ravage

Putting a soundwave-esq head on this and calling it Soundwave is like putting sprinkles on shit and calling it iced cream. The sprinkles don't change anything, it's still just shit with sprinkles.
That being said, maybe this is a preview/cybertron mold. Still unpsyched.
This is also too grand a mold for the character that Soundwave has traditionally been. Soundwave is not a peacock, he is a laid back, plotting, ninja kind of guy. He should be sleek and stealthy. This exhibits the same dumbness of design as making the autobot SPY, Bumblebee, have an alt mode more flashy than Puff Daddy. Obviously, they do not understand the meaning of "SPY".
The bottom line is less is more. Save this flashy crap for a character like Sunstreaker or one of the Stunticons or Sunstorm.
Give Soundwave a mode befitting of a spy.
Still, the movie fanboys will eat this up, I am sure.  | To me that don't make much sense, had it not had a head resembling soundwave people would give out, it has a head that looks like old soundwave and your complaining... is anybody ever going to be happy with whats given??
and whats sleek about the super broadchested G1 soundwave.... nothing to me.
IMO this is a good balance between revamping the looks of bots for the movie style and also throwing in the odd G1 look for the old school fans.
p.s. why bother calling it soundwave?? why does J.J abrams not just make up a whole new crew and stick em on kirks enterprise.. people would be pissed, its called a new angle. deal with it people
Railguard:
Great pics!!!! Not interested though, pass.
tony77tony77:
sorry guys I didn't mean to  Crombiecron:
oh another thing i just thought of.. why is everyone giving out saying oh it looks like movie megs or whatever..
I dunno how keen your sight is but transformers in general in each generation tend to have similar looks, they are a "species" or whatever ya wanna call them, humans all have a similar look eyes ears an what have you, soundwaves head has similarities to primes wit the faceplate hell even seaspray has one, the coneheads all have coneheads for gods sake, the fact they look like each other is good, they not just random robots, they are all related in a way like aliens from another planet an actual race not just random robots
Sledgehammer:
First floor, discussion of movie and associated merchandise - please mind the froth. 
But seriously, I like it. Does it say 'this is a deluxe-class preview of Soundwave's Cybertronian mode' to me, personally? Yes, yes it does. Blue/gold on chest? Visor and faceplate? Red bands on forearms? Check, check and check.
Do I want it? Not enough to shell out Ebay numbers, but yes.  GAUGE0001:
Nice a new preview figure, it looks alot better than the prime and screamer that came out before the first movie awhile back.
I will be getting this for sure.
Torque:
o.0 where did my post go?!?!
Chaos Prime:
This pic is nowhere near fuzzy enough.
But in all seriousness he almost looks like SoundWave I can actually see some of the influences, and I am pleasantly surprised.
I can't believe I'm saying this, but I like this.
Nutcrusher:
I don't like how these "protoform" figures are all unpainted and uncolored. Otherwise, it looks bitchin'. So it's probably a deluxe?
Omega Charge:
Cool. But he will have an Earth mode toy too, right?
Can't wait to see more of this line. (And the movie)

asphalt:
ok lots of pages, but does anyone else see the face on his back?
euroflip:
the spikes on the arms look alot like the fins on the feet of movie bonecrusher.
Ace96:
Ehh...looks great from the neck up. I really hope his earth mode is better. Chicken legs returns.
saberconvoy:
He reminds me of Voyager Megatron a little to much.
But at least his head looks like soundwaves.
lightdestroyed:
Not happy with how he looks. And that's not cuz he's not a tape deck, I just pictured him a lot different.
Puppetdisaster:
no , that wont look like a jumbled mess on screen moving around, , another crappy design from the bayverse.  General Magnus: Quote:

Nightrain:
I just realized I wouldn't buy it anyway because I don't want to be screwed over when Hasbro releases a premium version six months later. Quote:
Originally Posted by jametron Looks damn near like they just put a Soundwave looking head on Movie Megatron's body. Looks like shit IMHO, and this is the first time I've ever bashed the Movie designs... I have no problem with them... this just looks shitty. Is it really all that great? Or are some just happy it's Soundwave?? | Like I said, compensation for all the hate last time around. People were screaming love for this thing when it was a mistransformed mess out of some obligation to counter negativity.
Anyway, movie toys are mostly unpainted garbage in their first run. I plan to avoid most of them. There might be one or two that are particularly well designed. Otherwise, I'll wait for premiums or even Takara.

Yes, several TFs over the years have had that. However, chicken legs are backwards knees that look awkward. Unless I am just stupid, he looks to have regular legs to me :rolleyes

that is why people come to boards , that and the occasional discussion of whats ifs, and maybe it will be's, but when u have concrete proof of what something is, the yeah ar nays will come out
as to more constructive critisim, , like all the bots in the firts movie, its a overly busy design, the colors do not help it stand out, the design has way to much stuff hanging off of it, and its just plain ugly, but that is the bayverse for you, ugly,loud, and busy.

The usual suspects all will be getting/got one very soon.
megatronkicksas:
Freaking epic   Yonfamus:
1. Obviously, we can see the headlights and grille in the crotch suggesting he will reformat into a .... pick up
2. You can pretty much see 20 inch rims on his shoulders sans the tires.
3. I'd guess those satellite "wings" house some kind of speakers which is why they need to face forward like that. A sonic weapon perhaps?
That's what I see anyway.
Bottom Out:
i think he meant chicken legs as in skinny legs, because he def does have skinny legs compared to his upper body
alien:
so is this Deluxe size or Voyager size? Anybody have any idea with Soundwave size?

Dremare: 
It's.... So..... Beautiful.... I must buy this toy when it gets out! >: D

So, when do you guys think this will be released? When were the preview toys for the first movie released?
Molini:
Any chance Hasbro will be selling just the head?  soundwave86:
Im just waiting for another OMG brand new detailed up the ass pics of soundwave! Thread.  .
Octavius Prime:
Bumblejazz -
The preview toys for movie 1 were released in stores in May 2007. I think they were on HTS shortly before that (very late April?) and were, as a fluke, on Walmart's site in March.
The mainline's release date was about a month afterward on June 2nd, about a month before the movie itself.
Bumblejazz:
Hmmm...well, maybe this Soundwave will be released in May or somethin'.
Wait, when does ROTF come out? I can't remember.
Veloxiraptor:
I'm really lukewarm on Soundwave here. I can't remember seeing any decent pics of his altmode but that's what I'm mainly concerned about now. With the robot mode looking this...uninteresting I should hope that the satellite mode doesn't just look like an indecipherable mass of floppy unsecured protrusions. Quote:

. . . . Summary of 90% of all known TF fan internet discussion - or any internet discussion. | Hey, that's a paraphrase of a recent 4chan quote!
They're being surprisingly kind to this figure, considering.

Thundercrackah:
Sweeeeet. Loving the head. But I'm sure it's not G1 enough for some.
