We finally have a clear look at ROTF Soundwave! Discuss!

Not all that impressed as a toy but again I'm almost 100% sure it's one of the preview/protoform figures like they did for the first movie so there's really no reason to be jumping the gun on ROTF toy's.

I think it's a protoform too, I like it, I loved seeing variations of the characters in last year's movie line. I LOVE the protoform Optimus design/figure, one of my favorite Primes, so unique, so different, absolutely killer in the metal-esque color scheme. Now I wonder if Soundwave actually will turn into a truck, because if he does, this is not the only toy we will see of him in the movie. Knowing how Hasbro works, I would not be surprised if we saw this one in even more G1 based colors eventually.

Looks like there is a generous amount of articulation too, I wish the head was molded in blue as opposed to grey with blue being painted on. I would hate to get paint scratched off of mine. I wish the forearms weren't hollow either.

Looks decent. I like how the head resembles his G1 self. However, I hope there will be a bigger figure of Soundwave. For such an important character, you'd think they'd make a Leader version of him or at least a Voyager.

I'm just curious as to how he's going to look in the movie now.

I wouldn't be surprised if there is a larger version of him later on. If this is just the protoform, there will most likely be an earth mode version of him in the toy line, that is bigger. Prime and Starscream both received protoform deluxe toys last year, and both ended up having larger earth mode toys later on.

I still think this fig looks beyond man kind's concept of awesome. Gives me much hope for Soundwave in the movie being truely badass.

[Dark Ramjet]

I guess he looks alright, hope this is a protoform. I do like the nod to G1 though.

[trebleshot]

Nice to get a clearer pic of a toy that I will be buying by default. I agree he looks like a protoform, hopefully we get something official about it soon.

[Vangelus]

S250 posted even clearer pics in the news thread over on TFW. Soundwave's actually transformed to resemble a satellite in them!

[scarecrow]

Holy... I need to pay more attention to the movie stuff!

I was really hoping that Soundwave would be in the next film.

This figure looks pretty vanilla but I anticipate it being a protoform like the others.

[trebleshot]

The newest photos that Vangelus mentioned show some nice close ups. I was going to get him already because, hey, it's Soundwave, but based on the pics I've seen now, I would probably get him even if he was Stinky McStinkerson of the planet Sticky Poo.

The new pics show off the toy really good. Looks like they got the spirit of Soundwave right with this toy.

Thanks for the heads up boys! Checking now.

[Code of Honor]

Love it can't wait for it to show up on store shelves. I think he's going to look epic in the movie!

[Chosen]

Wow, looks pretty good - and like a satellite - in the new pictures. This is definitely a nice protoform or preview or whatever figure, and I wouldn't mind seeing it in stores soon. Probably not until next year though.
