    pretty cool toy. I like the poseablity and the bot mode, but the arms a re kinda long though.

    Thanks for the review!

    Oh, and the pre-release review drama is awesome too.

    To either reviewer, can we get a shot of the Protoform Previews from last year and Voyager Megatron?

    Eh, as a figure I probaly am not going to uy it when he is released, but as a concept for the design ethos with the movie toys, he seems ok.

    Anyway, this is a figure I don't think I'll buy, but it does get me excited about what's to come for sure. Thanks to both Peaugh and Sean for giving us these extended looks at him :D

    It looks awesome! How much do you think his truck mode will resemble his satellite mode as far as the robot is concerned?

    I think it's pretty clear that this toy is supposed to pay homage to the cybertron mode of soundwave in the very first episode of the original show. If you all recall, in that episode, his arms just kind of stuck out to the side and he formed sort of a y-shaped street light, so this is i'm guessing the same way. Especially since he has a face shape on both the front and back for symmetry.

    Thanks for the great review. Do his chest panels open to reveal the other two "speakers"?

    Pretty cool. Probably my favorite of the movie cybertronian/pre-earth designs that have made it into toy form so far.

    That's EXACTLY what i thought of when i first saw your proper(?) transformation at the top of the page.

    Looks much better properly transformed, still not wild about the overall proportions (mostly the huge wide torso), but a big improvement over my previous "yuck" opinion ~ i'll probably still pass, but it's not hideous like i first thought.

    I totally agree with you he's a preview figure, i just proposed on the Ratchet thread in News and Rumors that maybe Drift and Soundwave will be Universe wave 7 so they can have a tick at the far end of the 25 year timeline...

    this makes me wonder though...IF he truely is a preview figure like Prime and Screamer, do you think we'll get a preview of an Autobot as well? keep an eye out for him!

    no, the chest rotates forward to reveal them. I though there were panels (and there may well be on any larger versions), but they're fixed in place.
