Description A 'repaint' I did using Instructions for Armada Sideways downloaded from Hasbro's official Transformers website, [link]

Just a little something that’s been rattling around inside my head for a bit, and I decided to finally do it. Though it would be a nice “Piece before I leave for my wedding” type thing. It’s Soundwave, using the Sideways mold. Why the hell would I make Soundwave, ultimate G1 Decepticon BADASS…and a tapedeck, a Motorcycle? Well, it’s a stretch, I know, but it’s not completely unheard of. Durring the G2 days, Soundwave was given a couple odd alt modes, one of which was a Motorcycle (a repaint of the Laser Cycle Roadpig) that was canceled before mass production, and even a stockcar (One of the Gobots/Spychanger molds). So, I’m not COMPLETELY crazy, just like, 93% or something. Anyways, with Sideways whole doublespy thing, I thought Communications & espionage officer Soundwave could pull it off. And I think he does do an acceptable job. His colors work surprisingly well on the mold. I kind of see him using the blue head (which manages to make a pretty close ringer for Soundwave’s original head…minus the antlers) would be used in his ‘Communications’ role, with some sort of symbol on his chest that would show this, and the black head, would be used for his “Spy/Espionage” role, with a different chest symbol to represent this.

His Minicons, as some may have guessed, would be Rumble (blue) and Frenzy (Black). Their combined mode would either be called Mayhem (it’s a name someone thought up for a 3rd cassette twin, and I really liked it. Dunno who thought it up but it would definitely work for this guy) or Soundblaster.

Thanks, though as i said, it really isn't that far away a concept considering we were suposed to be getting Soundwave as a "Laser Cycle" repaint in G2...before the line got cancled. glad ya like it though.

Ha! I knew it! That whole putting the G2 project on the back-burner bit was all a scam. Pfff

Seriously, tho', this is one of your better reapints, Assey. Very nice idea using a G1 color scheme on a G2 concept (Soundwave as a motor bike). Heck you even edited the line art so you'd get two decepticon symbols while the Casseticons/Mini-Cons are connected to Soundwave. Nice touch. Just to bad you didn't seem to want to take a shot at making new symbols for the different roles he would have when either Frenzy or Rumble would bond with him. Meh. Next time.

And me liking this repaint has absolutely nothing to do with me like liking this mold to death. Nope. Nothing. *tries to look as innocent as possible*

Nah, this doesn't have anything to do with the R2 project really. It's just a coincidentially similar idea, hehe. As for the symbols, i wanted to do something to represent each of his jobs but i just couldn't think of anything small and "symboly" enough that would make each function obvious. So i just went the easy way and gave him 2 different con symbols, heh.

Wow! That ain't bad at all! I never would have thought of it, but Soundy does lend himself pretty readily to Sideways. Impressive!

The colors actually really fit this mold, a lot better than Sideways' did, and Rapid-Run's. I put this one second behind your Afterburner for my favorite Sideways repaint by you.

Why thank you, but honestly, I'd hafta say that I wasn't to crazy about how the Afterburner repaint turned out. I think I would put this first, and the one for my upcoming project as second, heh.

But, then again, I'm a bit of an Afterburner fan. Orange and white forever!
