..........and there goes the silver. I'm guessing this picture is from a Hasbro Asia market..... in which case it might hit the U.S in two-three weeks? But then why the *expletive deleted* don't the usual suspects have preorders for it? (Hasbro version..not Takara)
I'd imagine it's because of the inclusion of Laserbeak. Most HAs just have the main bot/car and the human figure accessory. Soundwave has a larger-than-Legends figure in Laserbeak and I guess they wanted to show him off (wingspan and all) in the packaging.
Ah well. Looks like Soundwave's got a date with my airbrush. XD Laserbeak too since I'd rather have him silver and gunmetal gray with red intakes instead of that weird red he's got going on his wings. The head needs work too. Dylan looks so happy riding his BFF Soundwave!
He reminds me of those guys in the gym who only work out their upper body but neglect their legs, lol. Still getting him though. =)
