Why are Hasbro putting up so much hype about this pretty average looking toy?
More importantly, where was War for/Fall of Cybertron Soundwave? Isn't he pretty much the main basis for the vehicle mode?

 

Because there was a disconnect in communication between the product-design and marketing people.

 

His vehicle mode is more of an armored jeep.

Also is it just me or does the video have no sound?

 

I like it.


Couldn't hear it, but I like how he looks so far.

 

Want it Now!

 

Hopefully he, Blurr, Bludgeon, Skywarp, and Twinblast are in the next wave, but it'll probably be one new guy in a sea of older figures again.

 

Based on that character artwork he'll be looking even more G1 In the show with a faceplate over his "face"
Despite the massive change from his Prime body. I'm liking the look of this toy
I'd like it even more if they could transform him properly  

 

I'm liking that he's an actual armored vehicle.


Prime Soundwave always seemed a little off to me.

 

Looks like a fusion from every soundwave (except from cybertron hehehehe)

 

He looks great with that faceplate.  

Wish that they coud've painted some silver paint on over his face.

 

I cant say im a big fan of this figure. Its basically WFC soundwave with a TF prime soundwave head. To me the whole thing that made the RID line cool was all the new. decepticon characters that can be integrated into a chug collection. Ive been ignoring all the rebooted autobot characters. Its a shame now they are starting to reboot decepticon characters now too.

 

meh, looks ok. May get it.

 

I fail to see how thats a problem, it gives us all a chance to get characters that we couldnt find before (in case a store skipped a wave). And you can always find these characters later. It gives variety on the shelves instead of getting only one chance to get a character and then them being gone for good. Back in G1, they kept rereleasing the same characters in case parents didnt get them the first time, I am glad Hasbro is going back to this old school business technique.

 

Bring this to my belly!!

 

I want to get him, put him with Prime Soundwave and have them just be decepticon brothers. Gotta come up with names though. I realize now that I don't really have a Soundwave as Soundwave for my collection. Maybe I should pick up that MP mold at some point.

Is basically the WFC/FOC design with a Prime head.

The toy looks a bit wonky but still kinda cool.

 

MAYBE in the show he can change his faceplate like optimus

 

The video has no sound, oddly.

Like the toy, but weird that they used different colored blue plastic for him.
