    i think you're looking way to into soundwaves g1 design, all this monolithic presence, size, personality stuff was all created by the huge fanbase soundwave had after the fact. Its not like soundwave was intended to represent these things, its just how it happened and the fanbase ran with it

    LOL, i totally agree. The true soundwave is a cybertronian streetlight, and he should be a streetlight for the movie!!

    yeah but every pic I've seen of him he looks different. I'm not sure we've even seen him properly transformed yet.

    I just had a flashback to 1984 when one of my friends got Megatron for his birthday.

    I hate toys with no real alt mode, this toy doesn't look like it transforms into anything.

    Umm, i suppose its meant to be some sort of "entry-mode" vehical/ pod mode. As everyone else was suggesting, its probally most likely 100% Prequel-movie mode Sundwave, ala Protoform Prime and Screamer. For all we know, he wont be turning up in the movie, or just a glimps of him entering the earth's atmosphere. There. :2c: 

    This~! :D

    ...As opposed to Hasbro slapping Autobot and Decepticon labels on older Diaclone, Microman, and Bandai toys and calling them Transformers to make a quick buck?

    Let's be fair here. G1 Soundwave basically transforms into a box. It's a box with certain surface details added onto to it, but when you get right down to it, it's a box. Of COURSE there's no kibble on him and he looks monolithic. He's a BOX.

    As for looking like anything. To early to tell. If he looks like something in the movie, he hopefully looks like that. Everyone's more or less just taking wild guesses to his vehicle mode at this point.

    WOW!!!!!!:drunk 
    This toy is awesome!!!!!:drunk 
    Bayformers ROK!:drunk 
    :puke2: 
    Seriously, I don't blame Bay for this, he is not creating the designs. I Blame America. Why can't we design robots that look cool? I mean, there is nothing wrong with this design, but their is nothing great about it either. Just another meh milktoast design. For me, the perfect example of what the movie asthetic should have been is Wreckage from the first movie line of toys. That is one of my fav designs of all time. Why can't they have gone in this direction for the in movie characters? This piece of garbage is one step up from ol' paperclip bot Megatron.
    I don't want the characters to look like g1, believe me. I happen to like beastwars/machines myself. But I am not buying that this is the best that they can do. I mean jesus christ!!!! Armored Core anyone? These guys designing probably prefer Mechwarrior over Armored Core, which is also a hot steaming pile of garbage. If you like this design, there is nothing wrong with you, you are entitled to your opinion. But you are being dishonest if you cannot agree that the designs are heavily inspired by incects. If you like the incecty look, more power to you. For me, the only transformers that should look like incects are the incecticons.

    I'm aware of the history of the toy line. I understand they have to change to look of the design to make it work on the big screen. All I'm staying the design could been done in a better way. The movie line i can't even tell if the toys have eyes or not. They look like some thing that came out of the Alien the movie in 1979.
