Yes, I also saw this today at my local wal-mart. I would have taken a picture, but my phone went dead.

I don't think I want an extra-big figure of Skids. But it does come with a plastic megan fox . . .

Sonar's Colorscheme kinda reminds me of Makuta Vamprah from the Bionicle-series...

I lot of the new decepticons look like bionicles

has anyone else noticed that most boat transformers these days just seem to be a generic robot who rolls up inside a boat?

Not really. Colourscheme-wise, perhaps, in the case of Sonar. But IMO not really.

Tidal Wave wasn't! He was three boats that rolls up into a robot!

Cybertron Shortround wasn't either! He is a boat that splits apart into a robot, Seaspray-style.

Please be more specific... As Blackjack said, there aren't that many... I build MOC's which I post on the Custombioniclewikia, under the name of SubAqua, and I often put in a nod to Transformers, or other Mech's....

New pics of black Hasbro Soundwave from the NEST Battle two-pack with the "NEST" redeco of Preview Bumblebee we saw a few weeks ago, as well as the (presumably) single-pack Cannon Bumblebee redeco.
