Generations Voyager Soundwave/Soundblaster pics

[5FDP]

I'm happy with the deluxe version.

The deluxe was good enough and this one doesn't seem much better, just bigger.

QFT Although... I do like that Soundblaster repaint

[Robzy]

It's an odd scale (compared to the others) but I do like his 'eject chest'.

Looks nice, but being the only Voyager ... just wrong

So far... but Generations/Classics has always been a very sporadic line, and that's just in the more popular Deluxe size... so in the least popular size class (according to Hasbro AUS), it might be a while to get several Voyagers.
I think we can expect Grimlock to be a Voyager (and probably a new Megatron if he has a new form in this game)... but Soundwave is a decent enough start, because I think they wanted to incorporate the "cassettes", so had to redo Soundwave to do it. We all want the Cassett-a-cons, so I'm okay with "re-buying" Soundwave just to make that happen.

I don't know if anyone complained about us having another Deluxe Optimus... at least Soundwave looks a lot nicer (and has the better gimmick - with is minions).

Does Hasbro actually have a Grimlock in the works? They sounded awfully reluctant in the FOC interview to the whole concept which makes me think that they have no toys planned and are just 'allowing it' in the game.

The one specific they did say was, that we shouldn't expect all five. In effect, it sounds like a confirmation that we will see Dinobots, but the number is yet to be determined... or revealed.

I don't know if they were having a bit of fun teasing us, but they conferred among themselves for a while before saying that they can't say anything yet, but did give us some vague comments... (I have to be careful, as they were very vague for a reason) which I interpreted as being, we can expect at least one Dinobot.

As usual though, I think SDCC will be the big reveal of this sort of thing (which may be why they couldn't announce it yet). If that is true, it will be very disappointing - something I complained about to one of the senior Hasbro people, that they do each year lately.

soundblaster isnt a new character or upgrade to soundwave?

i am in the same train of thought, i'm happy to get the soundwave again(kind of again) for the cassette gimmick. Also if a lot of interest is shown in the voyager (and any subsequent moulds) hasbro may be more motivated to make more.

ive been waiting for a replacement for the cassettes [bots/cons] for a very long time. not sure if this is it though. laserbeak mold looks good but havent seen the others up close. cassettes are a dead tech, it needs to be something else.

what are your ideas? what could be he standard for cassettes?

USB sticks of course Which they have done with Cheetor, Tigatron and Ravage. I am talking about ones that don't actually work but are just a toy to keep costs down
