BotCon 2012 Shatter Glass Heroic Decepticon Soundwave Unveiled; Headband Sold Separately

[Peter_Van]

The reveal of the BotCon 2012 convention exclusive set continues! Fun Publications has just revealed the Shattered Glass Heroic Decepticon Soundwave figure. As expected, the figure uses the Transformers Reveal the Shield Ironhide mold with a brand-new head. The character was first teased in a teaser poster for the convention. The all-white vehicle mode gives way to spots of blue in the top of the head, forearms, and the feet. For those who were intrigued by the headband in the aforementioned poster, a headband will be available, but will be sold separately at the club store. Fun Publications explains that the price of molding the piece onto the actual figure would have been too costly. Check out images of the figure in the full article. Read the Full News Story Here

What, at first, promised to be a set that I would actually order is, slowly making me lose interest.

Although if you look on his driver side door, Soundwave has Zartan's face painted on him. and it does look like they fixed the head issue of not being able to come all the way up.

 

I'm just wondering about the rumor that the Junkions will be done in the Insecticon's colors as the 3 pack. That right there would make it worthwhile. Since Overlord doesn't even look like Overlord.

Still curious if they changed Track's gender to female since he now looks like Road Rage, Sounwave's only redeeming quality is the painted Face Of Zartan on his door

Soundwave looks nice, but like a friend said it on Twitter, WFC Soundwave is such a good Soundwave, that it's hard to accept anything after. The headband should come with the toy though. Still, nice.

 

I dig the Zartan a lot.

[Tramp]

I never liked that mold to begin with, so meh. :shrug

[Transmitte]

I'm finally going to get to go to a Botcon and this is what is being offered up? Crap.

You know, Soundwave, bands come and go. You might regret that Cold Slither tattoo in 5 million years when they're out of style.

Well here is the current Rumor Mill

 

Metalhawk - Thunderwing Mold with new head

Octopunch - Seaspray mold with new head

Spinister - Tomahawk Mold

Treadshot - RTS Jazz Mold

Kick Off - RTS Jazz Mold

SG Ultra Magnus - G2 Optimus Prime (Obviously)

SG Junkions - Wreck-Gar Mold (3 Pack in Insecticon colors)

SG Swindle - Universe Hound

 

This is all rumor by the way, and I'm hoping the Junkions one is true

[Scaleface]

Would be weird to see the Universe Hound mold again so soon at another Botcon.

[Breaker]

^ Agreed. Just means I'll have to pony up for whatever the Ravage will be.

 

Soundwave, man I wanted to love this. But the face looks off. And the solid painted green headlights kind of sick. Wish they were translucent. It's not terrible but it's not great either.
