though I'm (slightly) excited about new rumble/frenzy figures, I'd be more excited by a proper updated soundwave. The reissued G1 version wasn't that easy to get hold of.

I'm hoping that Classics Frumble means a Classics Soundwave is coming.

or it might be in scale with G1 Soundwave, like Universe Ravage is?

Maybe, but the Hasbro design team has mentioned that Soundwave is on their shortlist for a new mold in the Universe line when it comes back. He and Rhinox.

really? I dont really care about Rhinox, but Soundwave would be cool

hope he's compatible with the old cassettes too...

compatibility is a bit of a dodgy subject re: universe ravage. Several reviews claim he fits the reissue version (with the double depth door) but doesn't fit the original soundwave. I don't have either so I can't confirm that, and sincerely hope they have mistransformed their ravages.

it would be useful to note however, that the rear section of universe hound fits ravage snuggly, so maybe these will fit too.

I have the soundblaster-mould-soundwave-reissue from TRU a couple years ago, I know Ravage fits in there, but i've never tried putting old ravage or laserbeak on hound's back seat yet, shouldnt be hard to do later though, but I dont know about the original one (i know its a smaller chest) one way to find out of course...TO EBAY!!!!

I have the book-style reissue Soundwave from Japan that they released 5 years ago. He is a single-cassette depth door mold (the hinge, though, is different from the original Soundwave), but he should be decent proxy for the original.

okay, here's an update, I got home, and turned the 80's ravage and universe ravage to tape modes, they both fit in his double chest holdal, so that should mean that universe version can fit in the single deck version too...if you transform him correctly

A new rumor:

Hasbro has tradmarked the name "Power Core Combiners" under the catagory "toy action figures, toy vehicles and toy robots convertible into other visual toy forms".

Well...Armada was a Micromaster/Powermaster crossover in a way, so I guess I could see that happening.
