Likewise... on the RK website, they're both listed as a 2-pack for the same price as a Voyager toy - worthwhile if they were Deluxe size, but not worth it IMHO now that they've been announced as Scout size.Quote:

If this is War for Cybertron Rumble then the colour is correct.
Yes it's true... Rumble is blue! :D;)

Are you comparing Hasbro's upcoming release of a scout vs. TakaraTomy's release of two scouts in Voyager packaging? Unless I'm missing something, I can't imagine why you would think the Hasbro release would affect TakaraTomy's product and/or RK's pricing of it.Quote:

Courtesy of Seibertron.com, In-package pics of Takara's United line of figures have surfaced.
The United toy looks nicer, though I'm not fond of the generic packaging. At least Hasbro went to the effort of giving their Generations toys individual package art. Generations Soundwave isn't bad... but TOMY's definitely looks nicer IMO.
Gah on the United packaging. Why did they have to go all 'American' again after Animated. The generic art and the angle of the packaging bubble annoy my MOSC Collector side.
Just as well the final toys look to be very metalic and very nice.
There's no real difference IMO to make me want to buy the United version. If I hadn't already bought the Hasbro one, I might have considered it, but for sheer convenience sake I probably would opt for the local Hasbro release.
Either way, it's Soundwave and both are full of win :cool:
Best... Wreck-Gar... EVER!!
Wasn't a fan of the G1 or Animated versions, but RtS has finally given us what I consider to be the ultimate incarnation of the character. I may even consider buying multiples to create my Junkion army :D
Of interesting note in Peaugh's review, he mentions hearing of a rumour regarding an official Hasbro Arcee toy. Not that I'm looking to replace my Animated version, but it would be nice to have a Classics version to fit with the rest of the cast. The wait may finally be over soon.
and in true Hasbro "tradition" will can the project before it ever sees the light of day....or make it into a bike.... again.... for the umphteeeenth time and force it down out throats that Arcee was a bike, uh huh- I was just hallucinating then when I was watching the 80s cartoons and "that pink car is apparently a bike".Quote:

Despite the fact that Animated Arcee was a car. :rolleyes:Quote:

um the only diff with soundwave which is noticeable is the pink pinstripe highlight. :P
The different gold rim around the chest and colours on the Decepticon logo stood out to me <shrug>

Difference in vehicle mode here and here.
i like the gold over the pink shrug unless the pink is to raise money for breast cancer i guess?:confused:
I guess it's supposed to be Energon pink but the vehicle mode makes this release.
Yep, also the metalic tinge to the blue plastic used.Quote:

Are you referring to a comparison pic between the Generations and the United version or just a pic of the United one in general?Quote:

The Generations pics that have been floating around look very similar too, so it's hard to say which is which until at least one of them has been released I think.
Seeing as the Generations version is scheduled to launch overseas later this week (or early next week) and the United one is not due till late February, I'm guesstimating we should see a side by side comparison pic by late January (hopefully).
Someone said that pic is using the Hasbro release as a sample. Apparently it says so in the watermark writing.Quote:

I didn't think we'd seen final images for the Kup, Wreckgar and Preceptor wave yet.
I don't think there are final pics yet. I am really curious about Kup as I don't want to get the Cygar head if the colors are wrong.Quote:

Something I note, is the wing display for Scourge is different in this picture than other ones we have seen. I kinda like it like this instead, looks more reminiscent of G1. Now I have to choose how to display him, and his armarda :D
