Another excellent review!! Great job.
Maybe the mini cassette deck will be included in other deceptions releases, like how the Megatron gun is included in other MP releases. That would be sweet.
I wonder if rumble and frenzy's pile drivers can be stored somewhere on Soundwave, or just their guns?

From what I've seen just their guns, but in robot mode the piledrivers can attach to Soundwave's forearms like canons.

Great review as always, Gold! I just ordered mine the other night. This will be my first Transformer since I am traditionally an SOC guy, but this piece looks awesome! Can't wait to get it!
;D

Awesome review Gold! This should provide some consolation until mine arrives... Been stuck in the post office for the last 2 days

Lol some of those custom pics for Soundwave are hilarious! Can't wait for Buzzsaw I always liked him better then Laserbeak.

Thanks fellas. Glad you enjoyed the review. Just be mindful of the groin joints as that seems to be the only major issue with the toy. Chen, haha, yeah, those custom printouts are really funny. ;D I hope they make more. Gold

All I can say when I saw this review was "yep, there goes more of my money". Though, with rumour of the Hasbro one I am trying to decide if I wait for that

Great review gold, cool pictures! There's also a storage compartment on the sides of his feet. Presumably for future use with new cassettes?

Thanks Chachipower. Yes, the compartments are for storing the Rumble and Frenzy guns, I guess they don't fold down like Laserbeak's. Hmm... My ranking would be (highest to lowest), not counting those Bayformers-Movie masterpieces, based on the ones that I have. -MP-13 Soundwave -MP-10 Optimus Prime -MP-04 Perfect set Optimus Prime -MP-08 Grimlock -MP-12 Sideswipe -MP-11 Starscream -MP-14 Red Alert (love the characters above more) -MP-09 Rodimus Prime (hate some of the design flaws on this one) -MP Thundercracker (US version) -MP-11S Sunstorm -MP-05 Megatron (looks so wrong now) -MP-02 Ultra Magnus (seems half-assed without the armor) -MP-06/07 Skywarp Thundercracker (love the newer molds more now) Sigh.... how I wish they would redo Megs and Magnus right a second time.

Magnus is worthless without his armor! I'm positive that Takara will not miss the opportunity to do a Prime repaint in Magnus' colors, but whether it comes with the trailer/armor is another question, although it has been hinted by the designer that the next Magnus iteration will be armored. Takara should just improve the design for the Titanium Ultra Magnus - I think it would be very feasible at masterpiece scale. Then we'd get a definitive Ultra Magnus that doesn't need to be armored. Edit: Oops... derailing the thread with my rant

The problem is to fix price on MP... An UM with trailer, why not, but a bundle box will cost too much. See how they split MP tapes. So maybe a MP UM (just a recolor) + a trailer as a folowing release... ...

Had some time to inspect my Soundwave last night. Apparently, he came with a coin. I didn't expect that . But yeah, the hip joints look funky...
