lucky there were to Cybertronian dogs sniffing at his base.

Judging just from these pics I'm not impressed with either toy. Soundwave looks too much like Animated Soundwave and Optimus Prime's alt mode looks too "WTF?!" to me. Meh. I might get Prime but so far Soundwave doesn't appeal to me. My opinion may change when more pics come out and/or when I see the toys IRL - but so far this is what I think.
