Dan Khanna is a great artist and a top bloke as well.
Though I think this Soundwave is sticking a little too closely to the Masterpiece figure.
The details and aesthetics are fine, I just think some of the "joints" and in some respect, lack of joints stands out.
This isn't a figure that will need to transform, nor is it something that needs real world joints to pose.
Take Rumble/Frenzy for example: He doesn't need the indentation in the back of his leg (for the cassette holes), the back of the leg can be solid and look like a real leg or his torso doesn't need to be so upright, we could bend it so he is leaning over his pile drivers a bit more. The shoulders don't need to have the full hinge look, they can look like real shoulders, that's the beauty of statues, we can suspend disbelieve that these can actually transform.
Still no doubting the artwork and the talent being used and I guess my improvements are all personal preference. As I said I'm loving the details, I just think Rodimus strikes that balance a little better.

Make us all really need and want these. If these don't impress me I will just be happy with my TF toys. This is what happens when the market saturates with so much stuff that collectors are now forced to cut things out somewhere.
