It started.


The first two action figures from the new Transformers movie were released. Bumblebee and Soundwave. I already have two Bumblebee's - The 70's version camero and the funky new camero version - so I didn't get the new figure. Even though they resculpted his head, and he looks really cool now. But I did get Soundwave.

Soundwave was the big character ommission from the first movie. They tried to work him in a few times, which turned into Blackout and Scorpornok, then Frenzy. The helicoptor and the stereo for the ungeekafied.

Now, although I like the design of Soundwave, I'm really not that impressed with the figure. For one thing, it's Tiny! I've put it up on the shelf with all of my other figures from the first movie and it's without a doubt the shortest one. Add on top of that, it's a bitch to transform. There are too many bits which just 'sit there'. They don't click in or attach or anything.

Still. Looking forward to seeing him in the movie though.

Two things - A weird, alien looking Satellite, and a weird, alien looking jet. He also comes with a little, launching 'Ravage' Missile.
