They just posted pictures of one of the Botcon 2012 exclusive figures today, and it might be of interest to GI Joe collectors. The character is the "heroic" Decepticon Soundwave, who turns into a rock-and-roll groupie's van as his alternative mode. What might make GI Joe fans interested is that the musical group that's highlighted on the side of the van door... It's Cold Slither!
This Soundwave hails from the mirror-alternate Transformers storyline where Decepticons are the heroes, and Autobots the villains. Also, in that world Cold Slither is a band of freedom fighters inspired by the "Don't Tread on Me" snake flag. Weird combo, but it's definitely different. Where else will you see Soundwave with Zartan? Last edited by Scaleface; 01-03-2012 at 02:05 PM.. |

Not quite as cool as the Starscream SDCC exclusive, but it's pretty neat.

I think I need that. How big is it actually? Hard to tell in the pictures. Wonder what they will sell for on the secondary market.

He's a deluxe figure, so about 5"+ I think it's pretty neat how it uses the color scheme of the 1st Device Label Soundwave(mp3 player)

The toy isself is one used for Ironhide and Ratchet in the Transformers Universe line a few years back. This version Soundwave appeared in some Tranformers Collectors Club fiction a few times already, but they are just now making a toy of him. Sometimes they do that, make a character in the fiction that is clearly based on a recolored toy, then a couple years later, actually make the toy.
http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Sir_Soundwave Here is a page from the comic where the Decepticon Heatwave discovers the crashed and Deactivated Soundwave in a desert sideshow, reactivates and and helps him scan a local van as his alt mode on Earth. Last edited by Scaleface; 01-03-2012 at 02:12 PM.. |

My gawd, that's an ugly toy. Joe con exclusives wipe the floor with the TF ones, I reckon.
