Not exactly news, but Hasbro Pulse was updated with new pictures of Thunder Machine Soundwave, and figured they were snazzy enough to be worth posting here:

That is a pretty decent BM Cheetor, though the giant clonker front paws look sillier the more I see them. I wonder if it'll get a Nightslash color scheme release.

Looks like it got delayed on some digital storefronts (Amazon, maybe Apple) but others (Google) have it. Not sure why.

EDIT: Spoiler tagging since the digital releases got delayed.

Even without the wings, that sure is a chunky backpack... in addition to all the chunks he's carrying on his legs.

Yeah, that's one aspect that has me excited. Red helmet Ratchet? Black helmet Megatron? PURPLE SOUNDWAVE?!

I dunno on Sandstorm. My first thought (without knowing his size class) was that I might pick him up if he were a voyager, but at $55 for a Leader, I doubt it. I know inflation has required cost-cutting to keep the same price points but it just looks light. That said, I do like that he got the...

Same, I considered it but ultimately I think I'll wait and see if he ever makes it to clearance, though it won't surprise me if he's too popular for that to happen. Lack of shelf space and "not different enough from the Armada toy I already have" are biggies.

Same thing. I even found a Brawn in a store the other day and again debated getting him, but in the end decided I'm not gonna be paying $25 for a deluxe that I'm not immediately sold on. Though every time I skip a guy like this I worry in 5 years I'll be regretting it. At least for Brawn I still...

https://www.thepopverse.com/transformers-jorge-corona-daniel-warren-johnson-image-comic-skybound-hasbro (note, has a cover of #7 which may be somewhat spoiler-y) Looks like a new artist as of #7, though DWJ will still be writing. Spicer will still be the colorist and Corona's artwork looks...

Yeah issue #4 was great. Really felt like things are moving along again, and quite a few striking panels... definitely was not expecting Optimus' arm replacement, even with the "what's in the trailer?" moment beforehand. And I loved the scene with the kid being awestruck at Prime turning into a...

Looking at the list of what came out this year I realize I didn't really buy all that much, but didn't really realize it because I bought a bunch in 2022 and kinda trickled out opening them (just opened Minerva earlier this month, for example... and still haven't unboxed Motormaster yet...) Most...

TF #3 continues to have some really good fight sequences, but I'm starting to wish the actual plot began moving forward. We're still largely in the same place as the end of #1, it feels. And while it's certainly logical/sensible, I've just never really cared for the whole "humans initially...

Sorry if this already got posted elsewhere, but didn't see it yet. The Reactivate 2-packs (Optimus/Soundwave and Starscream/Bumblebee) are up for pre-order on Hasbro Pulse: https://hasbropulse.com/collections/transformers/products/transformers-reactivate-optimus-prime-and-soundwave...

We'll have to see what happens in the Duke comic, but given that he's an earthling I suspect his title will be far more tied to the Transformers. Whereas Jetfire literally jetted off across the galaxy, then died shortly after reaching Earth, likely to never interact with the Agorrians and...

TF #2 came out today. Another solid issue, though is sort of a breather to explain things and set some pieces up. Still plenty of good stuff here, some good backstory, some character moments, and another good fight scene. DWJ absolutely nails Cullen's Prime voice, really easy to hear it in his...

He's certainly got a bunch of shiny copper, but no brown. The toy has a lot of copper AND brown, and I think the latter is really what is throwing it off. I think the contrast between the two colors accentuates it as well (as opposed to if it was just all the same copper color). The hips being...

Same here. It strikes me as a good mix of the WFC and ROTB designs, but I think the bland deco (especially all that light grey) and headsculpt kinda kill it for me. Hopefully we get better decos on it. Also depends on how good the Soundwave is.

Works for me now (may have been due to abates' fix)

Yeah, my first reaction was "the new toy looks a bit better but not by much" then I went back and looked at some photos of the original and you're right - it's close, but there are a lot of little bits that add up. That said, I'm still on the fence as whether the new one is (personally) worth...
