Surely this crossover?
Post Pictures of your Transformers, Let's see 40 years worth of Transformers!

Also v good, but I'm less inclined to buy toys from it.
He is seriously cool. I got a replacement Super Mach Alert this year - Japanese packaging and everything. Weird transformation, odd asymmetrical robot mode, and his face is kinda scary, but he's still really cool. The color is part of it. And the car mode looks great.
I've had him, Prowl, and the Universe Inferno side-by-side on my desk a few times since then.
I hope I can add a Legacy version of Mach Alert to hang out with Prowl, Autotrooper , Clampdown, Cordon and also a possible Legacy version of Binaltech Red Alert.

Surely the vehicle mode would be more fitting for Soundwave?
Of course, I'm now just realising another reason for Soundwave to be the MADmobile; Ravage as MAD cat.
I see where you're coming from with that - my only Bay Movie toy is DOTM Bumblebee with the big Mech Tech gun. He fits in well on my CR/RID shelf. (his gun, the viper missiles, and the lambros missile launchers are piled up out of sight at the back of the shelf.)
. . . so I wasn't the only one. Good to know.
Yet another reason transparent plastic should go extinct.
Transparent plastic by itself isn't really a problem when used properly. Using it for structural or articulated parts should be banned.
Well, then, when used properly, it isn't "by itself" then; is it?
Personally, unless you're going for something of Alternators level of realism; Clear plastic adds nothing to a figure. Becuase all it does is reveal the folded up robot inside; no interiors no molded details. Just "we have to shove the robot somewhere" leading clear plastic just detracting from the realism rather then adding to it, unless you tint it so dark you can't see through it at all, then why not use just regular plastic for it? Combined further with how costs are nowdays, they can't afford most the time to make clear plastic as part of regular plastic, so if they use it, the whole sprue has to be clear. Leading to things like SS Mirage's transclearent arms, or being used in places where joint friction is gonna make them break in 5-10 years, if that.
I gotta disagree. I much prefer the look of clear plastic for windows/headlights, etc. on vehicle modes. A bit of tint to make the interior not SUPER visible is all I need to be able to mentally block out any secret robot bits hiding inside. Painted windows are fine for anything below Deluxe scale, but I really think they detract from the figure on anything Deluxe or larger (well, for real-life vehicles anyway. If you turn into some kind of made up sci-fi tank or something, I can easily look past it.)
Somebody's been watching too much Emgo.
