BOOMBOX for the win:D
Looks like Laserbeaks weapons are part of the cassette! That's very cool!
That looks great!
Thanks for your efforts kurdt! :D
Could that be an actual working mini-jack..?
Probably not.
It looks like there's only room for one cassette.
The Amazon page says he can fit 3 cassettes and suggests more are scheduled to be released in the future. There's no mention of electronics.
Looks pretty tight. Now all I need to see is a size comparison. Most likely going to be too big a classics collection, and too small for an (early) MP collection.
Cool, thanks. Does it mention if the size of the cassettes is the same as the G1 mini-cassettes? And I suppose the cubes are Amazon exclusives as well?Quote:

so awesome! hope he's not too small.
that jack looks interesting
Dammit.
So expensive, but looks so good...This is gonna be an expensive year for MPs.:(
Looks like the wallet is going to get flogged.
Laserbeak looks fabulous!
It all looks awesome! Also, Laserbeak possibly has his video camera on his head!!
I think my wallet just got up and threw itself at ze computer screen. This is bought!
Where's Hursti that non believer!? He's gona let out the biggest nerd squeel when he sees this thread!
and yeh I noticed that on Laserbeaks head as well - maybe it's the camera from the movie?

That is SO bought!
I never imagined they'd make a Laserbeak this amazing. Now one can only hope for the other cassettes somewhere down the line. PLEASE TAKE MY MONEY!!!!
I think I'm actually more interested in Laserbeak than I am in Soundwave.
^^^ Same. Not really interested in Soundwave however I want laserbeak.
Yeah, I also noticed the head panel. :) Price is pretty steep though (AU$211 - before postage! :eek:) Don't know if I'd be willing to pay that... might wait for the Hasbro version.
on that like a fat kid to cake
Awesome robot mode. However I am not too sure about the proportions of the micro-cassette recorder mode but not a deal breaker.
And Soundwave was not a 'Boombox'.
Awww yeah! That's what I'm talkin BOUT!!! :eek::cool:
Wicked! Wicked design!
Pics now Hi Res at TFW
It sucks to be that Third party company making the unofficial MP Soundwave right now. In fact could someone post pics as a comparison please?
I was about to post the exact same thing. I remember how wowed everyone was by their prototypes, including me, especially the ones taken with masterpiece starscream.Quote:

I thought the 3rd party Soundwave got cancelled. However for all we know, this could be deluxe size...probably not but I doubt he would be bigger than G1.
Someone on TFW did this comparison:

Here's one i just did with G1 Soundwave, assuming the MP Cassettes are the same size as G1 Cassettes... some nice voodoo in there to get some extra height!

Intriguing... :cool:
I'm still curious as to why there are what appears to be two mini-jacks in his right leg, but none on his shoulder for the missile launcher. Might flip out from the back... :confused:
Am I the only one who feels like they've died and gone to heaven? This is what I'm talking about!!
Both have pros and cons to their sculpt and design but are on par with one another (assuming the height is the same). The official one seems better for toy accuracy while the 3rd party is more cartoony.Quote:

wow it looks so sexy in colour.
Firstly, oh yeah!!
Secondly, is the mini megatron different to the one that has come previously with MPs?
Also, what is the small thing in the front of mini megs between laserbeak and the yellow frame tray?
If the third party still had there's in development, they would more than likely cut there losses now. This looks fantastic, I am glad I have a higher paying job now :D
That...is...awesome! Was unsure about this release, looks like I'll have to get it now dammit :rolleyes:Quote:

Its like a dream come true. Will start saving NOW. Ravage and Rumble! Also thank you Takara :D tomy.
hells yeah this looks amazing.. not sure i wanna pay 200$ for it though :( :( damn you mp's breaking my banks!!
He's pretty much how I expected him to look given that Soundwave is Soundwave. At a glance, it also appears as though his transformation is very similar to the G1 toy. I'll be very keen to see the scale of this given the price tag.
