Linkin Park, known for their musical contributions to the Michael Bay Transformers Movies, posted a blog update of the upcoming Linkin Park Edition Soundwave with official images. This is what the band has to say:
“Linkin Park and Hasbro are collaborating on a super-limited LINKIN PARK EDITION SOUNDWAVE. It’s a new and exclusive model based on the original 1984 toy, the one I grew up playing with. It includes Lazerbeak, Buzzsaw, and Ravage. There will only be 2000 units, available at SURU and comic/hobby shops.
Hasbro is currently showing a sample of it, inside the Transformers booth at Comicon. Here are some pics from Les, the designer. Shout out to Mr. Hahn for overseeing it’s golden glory on our end (no, it’s not real gold).
The LINKIN PARK SOUNDWAVE will be available later this year.”
The images have been mirrored here, and feel free to check out the previous images that were posted from San Diego Comic Con here.

Didn't Linkin Park sign a deal before with Bandai to release a Gunpla Kit to promote Bandai's 2010-11 release of their latest JP exclusive Gundam game?
So they fans of giant robots in general?

It'd come with a new single by Stan Bush, called "I'm still trying to be relevant oh god love me please."

This isn't gold plate though it's gold flat paint.. The stuff people have loved is Shiny Gold Chrome Plated figures not flat dull gold painted figures. The only thing shiny on this is the weapons. They probably let LP have say over everything about this so that's why it looks like crap..
Yeah would fit his music more flat, dated and not very good at all lol

Guess people would've liked it better if it were STAN BUSH SOUDNWAVE with THE TOUCH TAPE

i dont get the hate; everyone has loved everything else that has come out gold plated. And as for LP, yeah theyre not as good as they used to be but they have been fans well before the movies came out, which says more than many current fans

If that ever happened. I would literally leave the fandom forever.

I'd buy this for $50.
… it won't be $50.
But I really like it. That said, what this has really done is convinced me to buy Encore Soundblaster, somehow.

For some odd reason the page won't load or the images must be huge….

MIMB…. For a 4-year old? Why? Unless he's going to enjoy it from behind glass,there's really no reason to sweat over MIMB. Not trying to say your desire to give him a "new" one is il-conceived, but really, I have a 5-year-ol niece and she doesn't much care if it came in a brand new box, so long as its a transformer and it came from me. Save yourself some money and find one from a good seller that's been opened and/or displayed or whatever. Unless your kid plans to keep it in the box when he's done playing with it (ad let's be honest, it will probably live in the bed, in the toy box, or on the floor), you really don't even need to get one in the box.
Just my 2-cents and I promise I'm just offering advice, not questioning your enthusiasm for presenting your kid with an awesome toy (G1 sound wave was so cool!). Good luck on the hunt!
