Toys Superior Soundwave is Superior. Missing Link Soundwave Revealed!

First dropped by @TF_pr on X, the first Missing Link Decepticon has been revealed! As many suspected, Soundwave is the first evil robot to receive the Missing Link treatment. Soundwave will be available in two deco/accessory options:

Toy Deco, which includes a brand-new Autoscout cassete as seen in the G1 episode A Prime Problem. This figure carries over all the toy-specific paint and sticker details from the original 1984 Transformers release of the toy and includes, along with the aforementioned Autoscout, Soundwave's classic weapons including (3) missiles, a set of weapons for Autoscout (identical to Ravage's weapons), a case for the cassette, and a pair of headphones.

The second option is the Animation Deco. This option is based on Soundwave's appearance in the Generation 1 cartoon and includes a brand new Cybertonian Laserbeak cassette based on his appearance in the G1 pilot episode More Than Meets the Eye. This version also includes all Soundwave's classic accessories, Laserbeak's weapons, cassette case, and headphones.

Takara Tomy Mall also includes a purchase bonus of the collectors cards for Autoscout or Laserbeak (depending on the purchased version) illustrated by Yufumi Ichikawa.

I get why people like the Toy deco, and it's not bad at all, but I feel that the anime deco really makes the toy so close to the character's cartoon's appearance. If you had both toys in 1984, you might think that the toy deco was a knock off.

Hmm. Fair point. I’m a little biased because ‘Wave is the one g1 toy I never got and wanted. Though yeah, put toon Wave against it and it is kinda the one more likely to be more ‘Wave-y. It’d be interesting to know which version sells better out of the two when Soundwave arrives.

Also, the inevitable cassette packs.

That toon deco is how the Masterpiece should have looked. I don't care how the model sheet looked. The blue was never that bright in the show.
