The official Transformers Instagram account is giving us a sneak peek of Transformers: Robots In Disguise Combiner Force Soundwave.
The new aesthetic seems to share design cues from Prime, Animated and Fall Of Cybertron versions of the character.
We’ve mirrored the image with this news post. Check it out, after the jump.

Ehhh, the combo aesthetic is neat, but… Why another car? Really?
Did we need more cars?
I guess to distinguish this SW from the Leader one, but… I think all of use would kill for something more original/interesting – like that lamp post from G1 Ep 1!

All mistransformations aside, I like it.

The render looks good, the Photo's shoulders are upside-down, once corrected the arms will be the correct length.
Does anyone know when these will come out? I presume The movie will take the RID line's place.

Looks pretty nice, but transparent wheels are always a no for me sadly. They just seem to look weird to me, not just on Transformers. Maybe they will eventually make a redeco with solid-colored wheels.

So I'm more than ready to see pics of more of these new guys.

Well, I'm certainly glad I haven't sold off my WFC Soundwave because this new Soundwave is not looking very promising. Maybe it's the oddly angle-ized chest or overly long arms, but mostly it might be because of the head. TFP Soundwave's gaunt, 'cheekless' face doesn't suit the new bulky body – it's like as if someone stuck Voldemort's head on Hulk's body.

I like him! Prime Soundwave was definitely a highlight character in Prime and in season 2 of RiD. Very cool
Yea totes bros, but you do realize this IS Transformers rime Soundwave ? It's the same exact character even has the same face/head. .

Anyone else see a potential remold as a halftrack to get a Polar Claw? Would then loooooove a recolor to get a Survive or Bearbarian/Grizzly-1.

Sadly this guy will be tiny standing next to my FOC Soundwave.

It's a pretty nice looking figure that channels a few interpretations of the character at once. It's just this mistransformed photo what's hilarious.

I am not one normally to care for a Soundwave that doesn`t transform in to some thing other than a comunications device , but this I like .

The CGI rendered photo shows us a really great interpretion of the figure. I like most part of it as it seems HasTak has tried to tie the alignverse together. I too, have been tried to design the alignverse character to have a mixed elements from each series and games into a one unique design. and Im happy to see they actually ended up at this point. Sadly, the mistransformed pic ruins the figure a bit. also for anyone who sees the purple legs, its just a flaw lighting

Someone to add: "KILL ME PLEASE" NOW

I quite like it. It mixes Animated, FoC, and Prime into one Soundwave.

Robot mode likes it\'s suppoesd to be Animated Soundwave but the vehicle mode is brand new.

Could just be the angle, it appears the photo was taken from a birds-eye-view, plus likely to be mis-transformed.

This feels a bit like Sins of the Wreckers Guzzle where he could just as easily be in a big power suit as much as having gotten a new body.
Jochimus
Kinda wish he had a less Cybertron-y alt-mode, and he does look like someone apparently left a couple cases of Kremzeek Cola in the Shadowzone, but all in all I think he looks O.K.
Fallout
Soundwave's so fat he can't even touch his toes with his arms mistransformed

I guess (?) we should be enjoying it anyway, since in a few months the aisles are gonna be cluttered up with even more crappy Bayformers toys…
