I'm not really into TF much, so I'm probably not looking at this from the right angle. But they put the Drednok symbol on a suv that's supposed to be Soundwave, and it's a crossover? I'm not trying to rain in anyone's parade, and I'm sure, absolutely positive, there's something I don't know,but at face value to me it doesn't make sense.

If that Soundwave is from the shattered glass mirror universe, shouldn't Cold Slither be a group of alter boys who sing like a boy band instead of rock music?

[Grimwing]

I'm kind of upset that funpub thought this pin was the best option for the Transformers convention. They put a lot of work into that tampograph design, and while its a fun Homage, Its been a controversial one as well.
Oh well its just a Limited pin.

Well. Even then Mirror Universe Soundwave is all about Rocking out for Freedom. So you have to consider what Earth Music he would enjoy enough to Wear its Emblem.

So Mirror universe Slither is still cool. But they probably play Power Rock. More than Evil Slithers Grunge style.

Yes but the whole thing kind of breaks your brain after thinking maybe Cobra is in the Mirror Universe and are Running Hospitals in small developing countries, or some noble charitble action.

You can repurpose him as a Evil Earth Mode Soundwave that digs the Painful Wailing of Slither. Assaulting Autobots with his Bass maxed out.

I need that and the Soundwave figure, but I'll wait until next week when the hype slows down and the ebay prices drop a bit

[DarkHorse]

Utterly retarded.

[NeoDragonKnight]

Cool little easter egg for the decal but I wouldnt call it a crossover...nothing else on soundwave is gi joe/cobra

precisely.

this is why when you speak, I listen.

[Beckley]

Utterly retarded.

Yeah, you pretty much summed it up right there.

It's a hot mess with the red decepticon logo, the whole thing is just too busy looking.

I know, I know, the red logo comes from the oh so clever shattered glass storyline where everything is flipped and TF fans get to pay big bucks for hideously colored repaints.

I'm still a big fan of Joe/TF crossovers, just hope future offerings don't set off my gag reflex.

[BCDX97]

Cold Slither would never drive around in a white SUV. It needs to be black. They are rock stars, not the Pope!

[blackbarn]

I can't help but wonder, if this proves popular with TF fans, will Hasbro try something similar with GI Joe? Flip-flop the hero/villain thing I mean.

These are sweet.

Thanks for the link.

[Big IV]

I can see why this doesn't automatically appeal as a cross over like the jet from last year. However, it is cool.

Another fun option would be a classic tape deck Soundwave with a tape Ravage labeled as Slither's greatest hits. That would be a cool custom option.

Overall, I like the Soundwave van rocking out to Freedom Rockin' swamp 'nok music. Thanks for sharing.

[Superquad7]

I really like this pin.

Soundwave, not so much.

Also, LOL @ the headband fisaco.

It was nice that I third party stepped in and provided something better than the official $5 apoxy weird bands. Trans Headbands appeared with a few color variations.

Hilarious if you will recall how this year funpub and Hasbro have been fighting third party products in the convention. This product choose to stab at that, with a generally wacky third party universe love letter.
