Actually not at all. I got to handle it and watch Paik fiddle with it and the neck is super articulated. Paik was mentioning how the way it was designed made it appear as if the pieces moved like they were his neck muscles.

 

I'd like to see Sphinx and MP Bumblebee compared to this guy. Those would both work well.

 

Does the mouth open/close?
I assume yes but i can't really tell from the pictures I saw.

 

Yes, you can see it open and closed in the various pics.

 

Cool, cheers.

 

At 1:1 the tape mode really needs to look like a tape. Tampo that thing up!

 

I reckon I'm allowed to say that the designer for Sphinx also designed this, and he has an impressive pedigree. They're both lovely, weighty, quality-feeling toys in-hand; and Jaguar does end up much more flush in alt-mode when transformed correctly.

There are more at least planned, I can say that.

 

Looks fantastic. I am all over this.  

I'd prefer red eyes to yellow though.

I wonder if KFC is panicking because they now have competition in the the cassette market

 

Nah. Different size classes entirely. These won't fit inside MP or G1 Soundwave.

 

  I'm thinking MP Ravage for long shots, cut to this guy for close ups!

 

KFC's tapes would have to be good in the first place for there to be any real competition going on.

 

I was unaware they were garbage. Thanks for the info  

 

I wonder if the means there will not be an ocular max sound wave. This looks great and will be my one off if need be.

 

Hmmm, what could be done 1:1 scale besides tape/stereo guys? Megatron of course, but most already are roughly 1:1.

 

Was there any proposed release for this guy? I'm not expecting it any time soon, however, it certainly looks pretty far along compared to a lot of their items when we first see them.

 

Absolutely love the design, but I'm not sold on the bigger scale.

 

TT-MP Ravage is too small, he should look pretty good in beast mode.

 

We'll see. Woulda been real smart of them to show it next to a MP Soundwave. I really really like it in beast mode and kinda want it even as a stand-alone piece, but at the end of the day I'll want to stand it next to the MPs, including the other cassetticons.

Very impressive work there.

 

i mean it looks good but....we have an mp ravage and he fits inside soundwave too. this guy might be scaled better in bot (beast) mode but hard to justify this just for once mode.
