Yesterday, we reported on some new in-hand images of the upcoming wave 2 Voyager Siege Starscream and Soundwave. Well, the original blog has updated with some additional images and a pair of them seem to show off that Soundwave has a tape-deck mode. Now, keep in mind, this could be just a way of “Fan-moding” the figure into a rectangle. There is no confirmation that he tabs together for this mode. That being said, this very well could have been intentional, but omitted from the figure’s instruction sheet (such as Shockwave’s Shockfleet-pod). This figure is due for release soon, so we’ll find out soon enough if this is true. But regardless, fans can be excited that this figure seemingly has four modes they can transform him into; robot, space ship, space lamp, and tape deck.
Check out the images after the jump.

Tbh the new seekers do look great. I got the 3 main seekers leader classes. But I will replace them. "as in make the scaled 3 my main display".

In my case, I have all the classics seekers except the target Exclusive skywarp. For some odd reason, that justifies me to get the three main voyager seekers and keep the classics cone heads as they are short deluxes but scale good enough with siege.

If I had the old mold, at the time I wasn't that much into chug. I would not pick up the new one. That said the new ones are great and in the scale you like for your seekers. Also I hope they release more than just the 3 main characters. Having the rainmakers or others would be a welcome sight.
But it is a voyager class figure which means they might not do it since it will cost. Though having them will be impressive.

Sure, but sometimes for the sake of space or your wallet people have to come to terms with the fact that really you don't need every character in every size, shape, or color.

You can have more than one toy of the same character.

Got Soundwave, though I passed on Starscream since I still have the Seekers from the 06 mold.

Found Starscream and Soundwave at Walmart tonight. I've been trying not to spend any money but I couldn't help myself. I'm glad I got them. The siege figures continue to impress me.

Just opened Starscream…..and I must say, "A Star is Born"
Lazerwave
Between the 2, which in your opinion is the best?

I’ve seen the soundwave barrel thing used for megatron back cannon. But I figured this out tonight and thought it was neat that the longer peg fits PERFECT into his fusion cannon barrel to give the tank mode more length. Especially if you don’t want to use the sword gun.

Painted Buster red and added a Shapeways head….

Thanks. I hope he’s not a pain in the ass to find. I hope Ratchet is fairly easy to obtain as well even thought it’s a Walgreens exclusive.

We don’t know, we don’t even know if he is going to be a typical exclusive, but he comes in a package with and unknown figures(s?) for around $50.
The current theory is that he will be an “online” exclusive like the upcoming Greenlight is. So he’ll only be available online, but everywhere online. Thats just the theory though.

Where is Skywarp going to be an exclusive?
Purple Heart
Thats an old one.
