    that soundwave looks horrible. Why didn't they use gold chrome like a lucky draw?

    Soundwave looks alright. I still don't like that, Magnus though.

    That Soundwave managed to get even uglier, then it was at Botcon.

    Ugh, I wanted that Soundwave at one point. Thing looks terrible now. Yellow ≠ gold.

    Why is Omega Supreme there? Kind of weird since he's been out for a while.

    Ugh. I was excited for that Soundwave, but to be honest I think it looks like a piece of shit. Awful color.

    EDIT: BTW, when and where is this thing supposed to go on sale?

    Why is it that no one, knows how to use a comma?

    Grammatical frustration aside, I'm interested in all of that sans Magnus and Omega. My budget thankfully prohibits me from getting MPs though.

    Because we don't have to. It's the internet. Do you really expect any different?

    I'm guessing the gold plastic on Soundwave looks so bad because of fears of GPS, so they didn't want to use a more metallic color (seriously, it just looks... yellow). So sad, I thought this looked awesome in the initial pictures.

    I'd rather have a metallic-plastic one than a gold chromed one, by the way. I don't like chrome overdose. Really, what I've always wanted was a clear Soundwave. I think it'd be cool to be able to see the tapes inside.

    I see what you did, there.

    I guess I'd expect omission of punctuation before complete misuse. Typically we don't even get full words. This just baffles me.

    So have they mentioned anything about where these will be sold? Last I heard there was a rumor that these were gonna be sold stateside.

    That Soundwave just has the look of a prototype test shot. Perhaps if they added decals to give it some more color. It would depend on the price for me, but I think it is likely going to be more expensive then I'd be willing to pay for a hideous Soundwave.

    Now if it were a clear yellowish gold it would be here take my money. Even if the dull yellowish brown were broken up with some black on the upper legs and areas.

    Held off getting a Ultra Magnus for this one so at this moment its just Acid Storm and UM for me. Already have regular Grimlock that I'm fine with, already have Omega who I'm thrilled with, and a version of FOC Bruticus who I'm extremely disappointed with. No color change is going to change my opinion on that figure.
