Masterpiece Soundwave. That is all.

... okay, so perhaps a bit more explanation is needed. Masterpiece Soundwave is the thirteenth numbered release in Takara-Tomy's Masterpiece Transformers line. As a Masterpiece, he is meant to be the definitive version of the character, and this is something he succeeds at on nearly every level. He's a big and boxy robot like the original Soundwave, spot on to his animation model and with a transformation that balances the intricacy of a Masterpiece with a sensible approach - nothing so needlessly complicated or fragile as Masterpiece Starscream or Masterpiece Rodimus here.

Masterpiece Soundwave comes with Masterpiece Condor (Laserbeak) - a tiny marvel of engineering in his own right, with a sharp, show-accurate look in his condor mode, deployable camera in his head, and amazingly his boosters are fully integrated - and all this in a toy no larger than the Generation 1 cassette.

So yes, Masterpiece Soundwave and Masterpiece Laserbeak. 'nuff said, these two are my favorite new Transformers releases of the first quarter of 2013 and strong contenders for my pick as "toy of the year". They're that good. Check out the full galleries of both below, and see what you think.

Stay tuned for more galleries over the weekend - because what is Soundwave without his full complement of cassettes?
