I believe that the latter image contains two Jumpstarters, and that they are forming the combined mode that they have in the Legends pack-in comic. At least, I rather hope that this is what they are doing.
Although, it is fair to say that combination sequences in general do have some interesting...freudian...readings possible of them...

A devilish game of strategy and cunning, no doubt! That would go down well at a meeting. Having read the rules, if those are the seven characters in the game, why those seven?!

Is Design Centre Soundwave a real Transformer? Of course it is! Turns from robot to stationery set! -Ralph |

I agree with Ralph. It was a transforming plastic robot legally sold under the Transformers brand, therefore a real Transformer.

Action master Soundwave is a Transformers toy too A Transformers toy, but not a Transformer. The narration text in issue #1 of the original Marvel comic said the Autobots and Decepticons became known as Transformers after they gave themselves the ability to transform, so when they lose that ability, it would be misleading (and rubbing salt in the wound) to continue to refer to them as Transformers. Though their Action-Master partners are Transformers. Edit: No, Ralph! No more polls today! Martin |

OK, if Action-Master Soundwave's a Transformer, what does he transform into?
Transformer isn't a race or species. The species name was Autobot, though some of them rejected it and called themselves Decepticons (a bit silly, like a group of humans deciding they don't want to be called humans any more). Transformer was just a group description of a bunch of Autobots and ex-Autobots who now had the ability to transform. And it was the brand name Hasbro used for their toy range.
Ratchet referred to Guardian as an Autobot in the comic. Roller is referred to as an Autobot in the cartoon. Neither of them is described as a Transformer. Nor should be the Action-Masters.

A Transformers toy, but not a Transformer. You know, like Mumm-Ra is a Thundercats toy but not a Thundercat. Martin |

He's a piece of tat based on Soundwave and Phil is getting cross..... All true. If the question was 'Is he a Hasbro Transformers toy?', the correct answer would be "No, but Action-Masters are." But that wasn't the question. Martin |

Whilst I cannot refute Phil's logic, I had to vote "yes" anyway, 'cos he's a robot thing what does a transform.
