I still have yet to understand the point and purpose of this release. I like Linkin' Park, I like Transformers, they could probably go together well...I just don't see this being one of those combinations. The "gold" plastic looks like that swirly cheap plastic.....so I dunno about this guy....:tfevil

It looks like a bootleg Soundwave.

This looks bad all the way around. The box got more attention to detail than the toy did, and for a 150.00? GTFO. :tdown

Yea, well... This is what we get when Hasbro tries to be cool to the adult fans. Someone over there is culturally challenged and thought Linkin' Park are a hip-hop band or something and wanted to do a Transformers with extra bling factor by making it gold. Only thing they could have done worse is include a big chain to wear it on.

:fail

They should have just made the set with a cool box, normal colored Soundwave and then each of the cassettes have the Linkin Park Album covers painted on each one of the minions. That would have been a neat nod to Linkin Park without going KO style....:tfevil

Looks like it might glow in the dark, but I doubt it.
