When Robot Heros are on they are an unstoppable force.

Lift robot over head, I can. Concentrate and too will you.

Soundwave's thumbs-up pose is so cheesy that he ought to transform into a sandwich toaster.

Luke/Yoda for me.

[TheOrgg]

I think Soundwave was made in Iran. He says he wishes that your donkey would explode.

[SpectreSuperSix5]

Luke, use the force. Defeat Soundwave.

[Universal Ruler Supreme]

Great matchup. I like both of these figures....so I'm at odds end trying to pick one. Soundwave is cool and Luke/Yoda is fun.

[Scumdogg]

I have this Transformers TPB called All Hail Megatron.

In it, Soundwave unleashes Frenzy on some army guys. One of the other Constructicons is talking about how he doesn't seem like that big of a deal, and then Thundercracker is like "Just wait". And proceeds to talk about how Frenzy emits some sound that drives everything around him insane as he attacks, even himself. They talk about how nobody is immune to the effects. And then they say "Well except one".

And then it's a panel of just Soundwave's visor, showing the reflection of Frenzy all just murderin' dudes.

That panel will stick in my head forever, and it makes Soundwave just ridiculously awesome.

So when i see this pose, where he's going for the eject button, all i can see is this scenario playing out. Yoda is cool and all, but not like that.

Although I can't stand anything about All Hail Megatron, that scene (and the Constructicon entrance I use as another signature) was awesome indeed.

Although I can't stand anything about All Hail Megatron

This seems like an...odd opinion to have.

Almost...incorrect.

[BaltanII]

I've seen far more criticism than praise for the series... ever, so I find that notion odd. Then again, I hang around Transfans.

If All Hail Megatron was a wholly self-contained universe, that would remove half its list of problems. A lot of its issues is that it's supposed to continue from where IDW's comics leave off and that's not how it reads at all. Characterization, plot, even alternate modes and existing technology are thrown out the damn window with reckless abandon.

[Scumdogg]

Ah see i never read any of IDW's comics. The last things i read were the first two main Dreamwave minis and The War Within. Then i picked this up kind of at random because i really liked the cover. And the plot reminded me of my favorite Wildstorm Thundercats arc, where Mumm-Ra manages to take over New Thundera and rule it for years. I just really like stories like that.

Yeah though i guess if you care about canon and stuff i can't really argue.

All hail Soundwave. Operation: Destroy Jedi.

[Blitzwulf]

Soundwave. Pose is decent, but the colors and sculpt are spot-on imo. I like the concept of the Luke/ Yoda figure, but the execution just isn't there for me.

[musclemenkids]

soundwave is the coolest transformadroid ever! I was never big into transformoids - this guy was cool though a friend of mine had him and i always remember thinkin 'yeah, i would love that one'. I only had two transformer things as a kid. A grey fighter jet, dunno his name and the big voltron thing with the lions for arms and legs and stuff - is he even a transformer? or a gobot or some shizznit?

[deadfishlake]

I still don't like the face Luke's making.....looks like he's sucking on his lips in concentration. May be true to the character (he IS training), but on a toy it just looks...stupid.

[BaltanII]

The grey jet could be a lot of things, including Starscream or the leader of the Go-Bots, Leader-1. The Voltron lion is... Voltron.

I didn't really notice the pursed lips expression, but now I see what you're talking about. I'll give the Luke/Yoda figure props for its detail and including Yoda with the figure, that's for sure, I just like Soundwave (character and figure) more.

Oh man, this is driving me demented trying to find out who the transfromer was - it definatley was not the go-bot guy. It was a bout a foot long and it was just lightgrey/white but with black hands and black feet etc. It was really, really heavy and made of metal (or maybe i was just puny) I do not think it was starscream as it was not colourful like what his breast plate is like. its so annoying, i have been looking for about an hour and a half now! This is going to drive me nuts i know it.

Ramjet maybe? He was sort of gray/white, and had black hands and feet, and a diecast body.
