Masterpiece Soundwave to be released in Australia in July

[Hursticon]

Back to the topic haha, it will be very interesting to see how hasbro will release soundwave (ie: what will he come with) or will he be like mp10 and come identical to the takara release besides the colour.

The variances in the toy's composition & pack-in goods will indeed be intriguing, as I wonder if they'll decide to change the hue of the Blue & if they'll change his optics colour from Red to Yellow?
The possibility of multiple included cassettes is interesting as I wonder if they will choose to include just the humanoids or the beasts? - Possibly a mixture of both?

All I know is that the packaging alone has me curious so I actually have a reason to be interested in the Hasbro release, we'll have to wait & see though I guess.

Just remember that he was registered as "Homer Simpson" over there, so isn't being very inconspicuous by re-registering as a new Simpsons name.

Let's just hope the Admins of TFW catch on quick to this serial pest. All I can say hopefully he won't try that again here.

yes the cassettes will be the main point of interest. The undoubtedly will change the hue and possible the eyes.

True, A lighter Blue hue would be good. It worked for the MP 10 Mass release here. I prefer the eyes be yellow, though he has them red in the toons.

We need MP Ratbat Hasbro!! that and that cassette Probe thingie that exploded in the crystal caverns!! That would be much better than that hand vacuum attachment

I DO NOT want yellow eyes. I want the cartoon-accurate visor.

Maybe the old switcheroo like on Grimlock would be there.

Please not, I am on an information blackout in regards to Soundwave until I receive mine. so , I probably shouldn't look at this thread

Well considering Hasbro's history with their MP releases, they have changed nearly every MP release they have put out (not 100% sure if they changed anything on Skywarp)

So if you think the Takara version is perfect, best to save for that because obviously while nothing can be confirmed until we actually see pictures, the odds are that something will be changed. Best to prepare for it.

I think they might do a slightly more vibrant shade of blue. Maybe not the visor but I can definitely see a general colour change.

Colours on Skywarp were slightly different, but noticeable when next to each other.

The purple plastic parts are darker on the JP version, and it has a couple silver paint apps on the arms. The Hasbro version has red paint on the air intakes beside the robot head, to match the Gen1 toy.
The wing stripes are different - two purple stripes on the Hasbr version, but only one on the JP version.
The most noticeable difference though is in Jet mode, with the tail fins being purple plastic with the Hasbro version, while the JP version has black plastic.
At least the two Thundercrackers and white Starscreams were different moulds, to distinguish between the Hasbro and JP versions.

That would involve a mould change which I doubt they would do. It's more than likely that it will come with a yellow visor IMO.
