    So Sideswipe appears to be about a head taller than his deluxe size universe version from those images, which make me wonder how well Soundwave would fit into my classics/universe shelf (which is where I really want to place him).

    Now an MP Soundwave (Official) has been made and a MP v2 Megatron is rumored to be on the way eventually. All i want to ask from them is to make a MP Shockwave to go with them, i would be beyond grateful. Regardless if they do or not i will be buying any season 1 character they do in the MP form.

    Yeah it was a cruel joke but I got a feeling we might see him somewhere down the line. Because other that Galavtron, what other Decepticon can TT give us outside the Seekers? It's just a matter of time.

    G1 Shockwave is pretty much a MP already. We really need a Galvatron.

    Very nice reveals. Shame that MP Shockwave was just a joke (or a tease? who knows) but I dig Soundwave's chest cavity gimmick of being able to cycle through each of the three cassette tapes for deployment with a touch of a button, and that Laserbeak's feet can stick to SW's forearms and shoulders via magnetic plates/bits. Laserbeak's engineering alone is off the hook!

    Awwww shit... :) 

    I thought they were clipping Laserbeak onto some type of peg or something. Glad to see they're open to using magnets finally. This just keeps getting better and better.

    I don't know that it was a magnet. Seemed like his talons are the same width as the arms, and it looked like they slid one talon under a clip or something to attach to the shoulder. I only watched once though.
    Yeah, sorry I didn't see that the other guy said they were magnetic. I didn't get that impression from the video.

    Wow! Love Soundwave compartment tape deck where each tape gets push out by a single click, awesome!! As for the Laserbeak clinging onto Soundwave hand and shoulder, just give me the simple peg and groove connection, no fancy magnet. All in all, Laserbeak is unbelievable magnificient, Soundwave and Rumble are beautiful, while Ravage may need more work can't really tell much from the photo/video.

    I cannot wait for Soundwave and his minions to come out. They look amazing. I hope they eventually release all the cassettes. I want Slugfest, Overkill, Squawktalk & Beastbox in addition to Laserbeak, Buzzsaw, Rumble, Frenzy & Ravage. Heck...I even want an Autoscout. I do have a feeling that Ratbat will be released with the eventual Soundblaster repaint.

    I wonder if both Rumble and Frenzy will be released with the piledrivers. I know they both used them in the G1 cartoon.

    Hope they improve Ravage, he just looks off to me. Laserbeak and Rumble/Frenzy both look sick though.

    The only thing I'm not diggin with ravage is that he again has a static neck and head. I'd kill to of been able to put him in a pounce stance, but I don't think that would be close to possible with the way he's currently designed. But I could be wrong about him, too. And I'd welcome that, :thumb .

    Haha...ask and you shall receive. This is a bit late but I wanted to say thanks.

    Argh! If only I could have these three new MPs in hand now! Sideswipe was my first G1 Transformer from the Season 1 characters, but Sunstreaker was always my favorite 'bot and I never found him as a kid. I REALLY hope they design an accurate transformation, and appearance for Sideswipe's bro if they release him.
