Universe Rhinox and Soundwave FTW!!!

Rhinox - I'm hoping they don't change the transformation drastically from the original.
Soundwave - He needs to be Voyager class. And since Classics Megs was a gun, they need to make Classics Soundwave a cassette player with some of the cassettes (preferrably Rumble and Frenzy).

If they decide to make them, that's great news. The only news equal to it is if Hasbro decides to add Shockwave to the list. Hasbro needs to make Classics/Universe Shockwave!!!

 

It's time they get the Universe 2.0 treatment.

 

SOUNDWAVE must have a cassette with him or else!

 

Question is who?

 

Personally I would want him to come with Laserbeak, as I've always seen him as the main one of his minions. They could then repaint Soundwave and Laserbeak as Soundblaster and Buzzsaw, and then make a two pack of a new mold for Rumble and Frenzy. Basically paint one blue and the other red, and naming wouldn't be all that important, as fans could just swap the names. Kinda similar to how most of us have changed Universe Tankor's name to Octane.

 

i hope they make that microcassette Soundwave-and to make that one that we've seen work, maybe it could transform similar to the camera dude from the real gear line, but more advanced.

 

Bring on Soundwave and Blaster. Also bring back the cassette 2 packs.

 

This is great news (assuming it comes true). I don't mind Soundwave being updated a bit, but it would still be nice if Ravage could somehow sit inside of him. I don't own Rhinox, but after looking at images of his BW figure he sure seems like he could use an update. However, I hope they don't go down the Cheetor route and decide to keep his chain guns of doom.

 

I thought this originally too, I just haven't performed an actual size by size comparison to make this a valid statement. I think the new ravage may be thicker than the actual tapes, that's why I said I don't care if Soundwave is bigger than an actual microcassette player slightly...so long as it's as awesome as the concept art.

Here's to hoping you're proven wrong *slams a shot of Patron*

Today's kids????

Today's kids are buying Bakugan toys, where I live at least. the only people I ever see grabbing universe figures are guys in their mid 20's to late 30's and usually admit to being collectors (the exception being a no response scalper).

Anyone seeing a different trend?

 

I don't think kids will care one way or another whether if Soundwave is a cassette player. Not if he has great accessories like the cassettes to go with him.

 

I don't care how they update Rattrap, but they must make him! Since they don't have the mold to reissue him, I don't have a non-TM one, and I needs one! I needs it!

*ahem*
Sorry 'bout that.

 

Wait...the Universe line could come to an end?!

 

meh - i'm happy with him having not made the 100% price jump.

 

If they make a new Cassette player Soundwave the can hold the upcoming Universe Ravage I will be happy forever.

Also, Rhinox, sweet. I would have put him way ahead of Cheetor in terms of needed a new toy. Hopefully they'll give him his chain guns.

I really hope that we also get to see Universe Wheeljack, Jazz, Perceptor and Insecticons. Woo, fanboy!

 

1) A new mold of Soundwave would be AWESOME!!!!!
2) Rhinox would be great too, I like him better than Cheetor.
3) As for the fact that they are not sure what to do with the Universe line after the movie line is done, they better keep the line going in one form or another, this line absolutley ROCKS!!!!!! If they cancel it, I think it would be a horrible decison.

 

I never understand Hasbro's constant "eh" attitude with classics/universe. It's the line that most Transformer Fans have been clamoring for years to have. The put it on "hiatus" back during the first movie. Now they are doing their "hiatus" nonsense again and once again if it returns is "dependent on several factors but we're not going to say what those factors are"

For a line that is supposed to be fun its amazing how efficiently Hasbro sucks the joy out of it.

 

Yeah, but what are the factors? That's what I was really interested in. lol

 

I totally agree.

 

All the joy and the hope out of being a collector. I was really excited to go on the hunt for the latest waves but with a dreadful feeling of what if this is the last classics/universe figures it just takes all the excitment out. Never fun collecting anything if there is a feeling of well this is it.

Such a bad feeling of being the red headed step child of the toy collecting world. They act like we are important to them, until something else comes along and they just cast us aside like whatever. Yes I know we are just here to make them money, but darn at least pertend like we are worth something to you as a costumer as you take the money we are giving your company.

I can understand if they can't put anything in stone about when classics/universe might be back and how they can't put anything in stone yet about what the first line up would be. But throw out something to give us a little hope that we can be fans in the future even if the Animated and movie toys aren't our cup of tea.
