86 Windcharger looks much better than I originally thought. But I still hate the hollow legs. It's nice that he has wrist swivels though. The weird blast effect is cool though and I hope they make a blast effect showing Trailbreaker's force field power too.

I'm a big fan of the jet mode too. FINALLY the cockpit is the full chest and isn't just segmented like on the Siege and MP versions! I'm super exited to get this guy, though it sucks that he's gonna be more expensive due to Hasbro's bad decisions, they need new management so badly btw.

Anyways next theres more images of 86 Thundercracker. He looks awesome, I love those colors they look so nice! The monoskirt is disappointing but it's not a dealbreaker when he has a waist swivel. But the backpack looks ugly. Besides that he looks great.

And anyone saying the upgrade kit is better, no it's not actually. The upgrade kit and knockoff ones are just as bad because again, they don't work with the alt mode. 86 Optimus doesn't work as a Skybound Optimus, not because of it's proportions but because of how it transforms.

So Skybound Optimus looks like trash. Which is a shame cause it was repainted from the fantastic 86 mold. But I just can't justify paying $80 for this when it doesn't even come with the axe or a normal arm. Plus the alt mode looks like trash with the Megatron arm.

Overall 86 Soundwave looks like a major improvement over the Earthrise and Siege versions. I will be getting this figure at some point, cause he honestly looks amazing.

As for the Cassettes, Ravage looks much better than the Siege and Earthrise versions, however the cassette mode is super compromised. Laserbeak and Buzzsaw look really good except for those super short legs and those compromised cassette modes.

The alternate mode is also very good, I love how the guns actually become batteries again like on the OG. I only have two issues with this figure though. For one his fingers needed more articulation so he could use his hand to push his button, and there should be more paint in his alt mode too.

Welp that number just went back down to 69

God I need a version of this mold so badly, I'll probably get the Hasbro version at some point.
