According to a sponsor of TFW2005 website, two more Henkeis have been revealed, for a December 27th-ish release. C12 will be Hound (should be with Ravage), and C13 will be Cheetas (Cheetor). Looks like TT are catching up with their release of Henkeis, but skipping quite a few in the process. Not sure what will be chromed with Cheetor, if they continue their theme of chroming parts of their Henkeis (probably part of the robot mode).

Yeah confirm, this are up for pre-order on RK as well. No clear photos only outlines with shadows on their site. I'm sure other toy stores will follow suit soon too...

Where are they going to put chrome on Cheetor?
His blades? or his tail?

Henkei Hound, YES!

I particularly dislike the Hasbro choice of the bright/happy green. It makes it look more like an Animated toy than G1/Classics like.

I hope TakTom goes for a more G1 like shade of green or like the BT colors. Can't wait for Ravage to have chromed legs like his G1 toy!

I don't think that'll be happening unless Takara decides to give you missiles at all! (http://www.tfw2005.com/resources/attachment.php?do=fullview&attachmentid=7726) I'd imagine the holes are the same size so you can display G1 Ravage missiles though.

Ravage already has missles molded into him.

Exactly. They're moulded on the sides, take a closer look Kurdt. ;)

I don't think they will chrome them then. My understanding of the process leads me to beleive that to chrome one piece, they have to do the whole piece.
And I doubt they will do the whole leg piece

Ah well, may as well buy the local one then and apply a spot of silver paint myself.

Yeah looks like i need my glasses checked! Those little pea shooters still don't compare to G1's missiles though!

Well the ravage that came with my commemorative soundwave has them. :)

And I'd wager that with the release of this set, if it can only fit in a double tape deck, that the commemorative soundwave will shoot up in value x100 due to the people who thought that their g1 version was "good enough" and didn't buy the commemorative version. :D Watch the demand suddenly spike.

I got commemorative Soundwave and never really liked it. I quickly scooped up Encore Soundwave then sold my primus-forsaken comm. Soundwave. Never regretted it.

Blue Soundblaster =/= Soundwave IMO

I don't mind Commemorative/TrU Soundwave. I still have it and never planned on selling it despite owning the G1 version in reasonably good condition.

He may be using the Soundblaster mold but aside from that it is very well executed and does not suffer from production cost cutting or anything of the sort like other Hasbro commemorative reissues.

Overall, I like it and its rather unique.

I don't know why there's not a lot of luv for Commemorative/TRU Soundwave... *shrugs*

So he's got a slightly bigger chest cavity? So what? It's an upgrade... :)

I got my encore soundwave and kept my commemorative soundwave.

I actually like the commemorative a bit better because it comes with two tapes. It's better value for money. Not that often you can say that about a Hasbro release. Also it was pretty random of them to release a "g1" mould in the commemorative/classics line, so yea, as Kup said, it's rather unique.

And people that did what Goktimus did will probably be soon regretting it. :D
