Official Images: Linkin Park Exclusive G1 Soundwave Redeco

A part of me died.

UGLY AS SIN

The only reason this will sell out is because it is limited, not because it is anywhere near cool.
Please, take it away and shoot it.

They mixed up the Ratbat and Ravage accessories and reversed the Lazerbeak lasers. I didn't even know that was possible.

Would it be total trolling if they included Rumble and Frenzy in this set?

what a waste of plastic and those molds, and they didnt even care enough to make sure the cassettes had the correct weapons. This was half assed just as much as linkin parks horrible music. The thing that sucks the most is now Soundwave will forever be linked to this band, think i just died a little inside.

This would go well with the "Meister Gold Version" ehobby golden jazz toy. You could use them as the characters appeared in "The Golden Lagoon" episode of G1.

It looks like a bad custom. Anyone know the price tag on this out of morbid curiosity?

Yes, the stock photographer managed to get the accessories wrong and yes Linkin Parks music may not everyone’s cup of rosey lee but blimey guys, this is not the Hitler edition.

I may not have been a forumite for particularly long but some people on this forum get up in arms at the drop of a hat over the most ridiculous of things. I know it’s the internet and I know we are fandom but the amount of bile over this, the downsizing of deluxes or changing the name Motor Master to Motorbreath is just ridiculously childish; its not the worst thing to happen to anyone ever.

Not that i'll be buying it.

Ha ha. Yeah, I'm sure it's actually a mockup... not the actual item. When it comes out, I'm sure it will be real gold plastic... and look a little better.

At least it's unified in color scheme, which (being an artist) I have to say goes a long way. :^)

*Bling*

Seriously, I've seen much better gold versions of figures. I don't even like LP other than their songs for Bayverse and "In the End." I might get this if it's not expensive and I have extra cash. I'd have to see what it looks like in hand.

damn. so hideous.

i would love a hitler version of a TF more than this.

I, uh, I really like it.

I seriously can't wait for this set to come out.

May not like it, and not going to jump on the hate band wagon that's already filled this thread (loved your post Krok) but to me, it's a missed opportunity.

Should have used Music Label Soundwave.

are you f*cking serious hasbro?

they didnt flip his head properly in the cassette player mode. looks like his head got broken backwards. lol

can somebody say GPS

still might be a cool collectible for those who like such things

Has no one seriously considered using this as Electrum Soundwave?

Lucky Draw Soundwave.

I know this is off topic of how garish this thing is but...*points!!!*

Mistransformed alt-mode =D.

I think it looks decent enough if you can get past it being associated to Beiber Park, but only 2000 units...can you say expensive as fuhk? Wouldn't be the slightest bit surprised if it was over $200.

Beiber Park? Come on now, that's not even right. Even if you don't like their sound, you can't deny Linkin Park has tons of talent. When was the last time a band made something like "Waiting for the end", with something like "Iridescent" or "The Messenger" on the same album?

If this isn't expensive, I'll be picking one up. Not only do I think it looks fine, but the fact that Mike Shinoda was involved makes me want it.

At least they can write their own music and play their own instruments and not rely on their looks and the stupidity of teenage females to buy their music.

Honestly, the bitching in this thread is surprising, and a little lame. Don't like it? Move on. Chances are this is aimed more at LP fans that TF fans.

Their previous album... Their shit all sounds like something they've already done. I bet their next TF is a silver Soundblaster...

So it's already been pointed out that all the accessories are mismatched and put on incorrectly, but has anyone else noticed that the set supposedly includes "Laserbeak, Ravage and Buzzsaw" yet the images show Ratbat, Ravage and Buzzsaw/Laserbeak? o_O;;;

Nice work!

Or rather, UNlucky draw Soundwave. Wonder if Hasbro actually made the whole thing out of gold plastic. Probably would be brown plastic with gold painting... Like what Takara does... But then why could'nt the gold be chrome... If it was chrome I would buy it... but it's more like caramel soundwave now...

Ugh.

Pass.

My GF likes LP, but this thing is an abomination.

Like I said, Electrum Soundwave.

Well it could look worse...

Have you guys ever seen the Linkin Park RX-78GP-01fb that Bandai released?

So I get the link between Linkin Park and TF (although not using a movieverse figure kind of kills that connection) and Soundwave is appropriately music-themed.

But why completely (dull) gold as the Exclusive colour scheme? I don't know much of the band, but a full-body paint job based on their psychedelic RotF/DotM video clips would look pretty cool. It might've even been pretty enough to lure non-fans just by its looks. This is just... bland. I wouldn't buy it even if I were a fan of both LP and TF.

Here's what I would've done provided you're stuck with this m0old choice. You've got three cassettes = three movie singles. Deco each mold black with cassette details and the film titles on one side. Laserbeak is DotM, Ravage is RotF and Ratbat should've been Frenzy and Movie1. Then cover Soundwave in three or four screen shots from the films that morph into each other at the edges (see the New Divide clip). Have the Linkin Park logo on his shoulder and feature the band members autographs or picture on the cassette door.

id pick it up depending on the price.

did this ever get released? or is it still coming?

Going to a wedding of a Cousin whom is a LP fan and thought this might be an unusal gift
