It's regarding Soundwave. Was he ever shown transformed? I've yet to read all available issues.

Slow Day.

Y'know, I don't think so. There is the (rejected) design for his alt mode of course, but I don't think he did transform in the actual strip...

Rejected design?

KingMob · Post by **KingMob** » Wed Feb 02, 2005 7:11 pm

Don did redesigns for Soundwave and Shockwave that never got used, they're in the trade and (I think) the Preview as well. Hang on, I'll see if I can find some scans.

It's a bit of a small pic at the mo, I'm afraid.

That's why you're the king Mr. Mob. Thanks for the assist.

Hmm..well, I'm a bit at odds with those. I'm not really liking that..thing that Soundwave's supposed to transform to.

And even tho Shockers looks pretty good and similar, being a giant cannon and all, but the reason he's a giant flying space-gun in the first place is because he never changed to an earth-based alt-mode, retaining his cybertronian alt-mode. So he already had a pre-earth mode, that said it's not impossible that he could have changed modes a few times, but still...

uh... hence why they didn't use it and showed him in his original mode in the series? see?

Maybe we could go by the cartoon where Soundwave's Cybertronian mode was a... post.

Actually, lets not.

Sadly, going by Bumblebee, Laserbeak and Wheeljack's cartoon-accurate modes, I think that was the idea

We're playing the "tell each other facts we already know"-game. I told you something, you tell me something. Yes I knew that, since I was able to read all of the TWW series

, those that got published that is.

This game is much more fun with Denyer...aside from him being a denyer that is.

No, intriguing. Or perhaps in this case: peculiar.

I like them designs - somthing thats pretty ninja-gaiden is the way the end barrel on shockwave splits in two. cool!

Post by **Best First** » Thu Feb 03, 2005 2:11 pm

Also quite fond of the notion that TFs have chnaged form a few times.

Thanks for the pics, Kingmob, I have been looking for that for ages!!!

I already have the scans of the Constructicons, Prowl/Bluestreak, OP, Trailbreaker/Kup, Grimlock/Ironhide... is there anything else in the v1. TPB?
