Great shot! Is that an IGA Soundwave in the middle of the third pic?

 

Indeed! not my pics though but i know who took them and is an IGA no doubt... with a factory Autobot logo (just faded)

 

Very cool! They're tough to come by. I suspected from the smaller logo sticker, what looked like black feet, and the lighter shade of plastic. I have one MIB with the small factory Autobot logo too, and another loose with the small Decepticon logo. I dig the sword with the KO. I'll have to keep any eye out for one of those!

 

Cool! is not a known variant, but they come from time to time. Got a MIB too  

The sword is a neat accesory and by sheer luck, i think i found where it might come from

The hilt is modified and the guard is more square, but everything else is a close match

^Hopefully it does come with the fully combined gun

 

It obviously does.

 

Soundwave superior. J Balvinferior.

 

I’m going to rename it “Have A Nice Day JBalvintron”

or “Hand J*b” for short.  
 

 

That smiley face deco in alt mode is cool.

 

"How do we make Soundwave more ominous?"
"Lightning eyes smiley fave deco!"

 

I've been slightly tempted to get it, and even more since I don't have a G1 Soundwave. My GF told me she'd get it for me, but I don't want ger to go through the BS people have reported buying from that app. Maybe if some showed up in Pulse or Amazon, or if it went on a discount (highly unlikely) I'd bite.

 

I think you can get like $10 to $20 (max) off your order using other people’s referral codes posted on this thread. Others mentioned getting it for like 53 shipped.

I didn’t take advantage of it myself since I had already downloaded the app/signed up a week earlier and ordered before people started mentioning it.

 

the more I see it the more I want it. That smiley face deco is so goofy I love it.

 

Likewise. It’s unique and bonkers, and I dig it. Also looks like the plastic is a nice, opaque yellow. I was worried it’d be translucent and cheap-looking, like a lot of yellow TFs are. Glad those concerns were unfounded.

 

I didn't like this thing, but that was before I saw the smiley face Alt Mode. That is cool.

 

Who?

 

This may be... the ugliest thing Hasbro has ever made.

Honestly, I would be extremely curious to see how many they sold.
Also I would love to know who at Hasbro thought this was a good idea.
(kind of thinking it was a Mark idea... while high af)
