Is it official or fanmade?

We'll have to wait for more information to see, but BASE XO comes up big again, this time finding a prototype image for a new transforming toy (robot mode only pic). This toy's robot mode closely resembles the Soundwave cassettebots, Rumble and Frenzy, as you can see from the head and chest designs. Unfortunately what Frenzy/Rumble transforms into is yet unknown at this time.

Is this a new Device Label component? Frenzy and Rumble were already made for the music label line, so maybe not. Universe line toy? Or another Impossible Toys winner like their upcoming G1 Arcee?

Stay tuned to Seibertron.com for more information when it is made available.

i Really hope this is official. . i would love to get my hands on one. my guess is that it will end up in the universe line.

i would say it might be an early prototype for the next show line but i would think its still WAY too early for that.

Now that Chaoslock has suggested MP Soundwave, anything else will be a disappointment .LetitbepartofMPSoundwaveletitbepartofMPSoundwaveletitbepartofMPSoundwave

Will people please stop it with the Masterpiece Soundwave, I have to pick myself up off the floor each time!!

If it is MP SW there will be a lot of people making some odd high pitched squealing noises all over the world.

I'm looking forward to next year!

Hopefully, the mold will be used as a Universe 3.0 two-pack of sorts, packed-in with whomever other character they think of (Detritus/Swindle repaint of Hound with Frenzy/Rumble).) Seriously tho', it's probably a add-on to MP Soundwave. Unfortunately.

I HIGHLY doubt it'll be an MP Soundwave, as I've never seen a ball/socket joint on the MP figs.

I'm really hoping this is another indication of Universe 3.0

If this is official, could this be Transformers Universe 3.0? If so, i cannot wait for this....

It looks like the body has simular design as Energon Signal Flare / Offshoot

Wow. That is exciting! Hopefully this/these are Hasbro products.

Wow, a toy I would actually buy!

Prime's neck, Megatron's ankles, Those jet parts hanging of the Seekers' hips to name a few.

But I agree that it's unlikely to be a Masterpiece fig, since hollow legs and solid hands scream Classics. My guess is that it'll be released as a deluxe class toy, with his back guns and piledrivers as included extras.

Looks to me to be a Scout Class figure, the chest is a definite nod if nothing else to the G1 Cassette Twins. I said a while back we should get a MP Soundwave with some scout class cassettes in some of our Hasbro q&a. Maybe they read it, God that would be some kind of awesomesauce smothered figure. Oh well, my hopes are up, i'm with you guys. pleaseletitbemasterpiecesoundwavepleaseletitbemasterpiecesoundwavepleaseletitbemasterpeicesoundwave

But there is no scale to those images, it could be quite small and ball joints suit small figures. It doesnt look like its a complex transformation which is another reason I think its small and could therefore be an accessory figure.

Fun with photoshop.



Might do Frenzy, errr Rumble... err.... the red and black one... later.

Ahh MAN! I'm just starting to bend on the music label SW. My first instinct is 3rd party, but what if I'm wrong? Do I give in and get it the little SW or hold off just in case Hasbro truly loves us?

Looks to like he transforms exactly like his G1 counterpart. Which means he's a cassette. I'd say this is some sort of 3rd party prototype because it looks too "Geewun" to be Hasbros. But then again, the 3rd party companies usually announce their stuff. Could it be a Classics 3.0 figure? Perhaps we'll get another 2-pack like Hound and Ravage. But who could he be packaged with?

Damn nice colours!

That's one sexy prototype right there. I'm not any kind of expert at guessing these things, but the arm/foot ball joints look quite large comparatively, so I thing this will be quite a small figure. Maybe it will be packaged with a Hound repaint for Universe 3.0.

Either way, I want it!

Now that looks cool. It's always great to see G1 characters get an updated toy.

If they follow suit with the other Hasbro properties (assuming it is a Hasbro product at all) they could do these in the 2-pack + comic book format like they do for Star Wars, GI Joe and Marvel.

That would be a cool way to have smaller scale (and simple transform) figures from earlier lines in Universe. Cassette bots (natch) mini-bots etc. Something between legends and scout size.

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!

Rumble!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He's my favorite character out of g1, the little not to bright chump macho can hardly win a fight with a human Decepticon!
Yess, I hope it's Hasbro's, then we will see it released widely with a few repaints and for normal prices.
I'll be getting even if it's some 3rd party construct. He is so totally cool!

ps. what does FAP mean? I know I live under a rock and all,

I believe it's meant to simulate the sound of a certain do-it-yourself "recreational activity." Seems a few people are getting a little too excited.

This clearly is the new classics Soundwave we've been promised in that TFCC magazine interview from a while back.

I think it's sweet and I hope it gets packed and sold in a twopack as Rumble and Frenzy but with no indication of which is which.
