I have this set. Just arrived today. And here you are. I missed out on the rest of the G1 homages (though I did manage the 40th anniversary of the real thing), so this is my modern Soundwave of choice and will be my last Soundwave, likely ever. Thanks for all you do, Kyle. Your reviews add positive chaos to the collecting spark.
Yeah, the Netflix release is very prone to yellowing. Mine looks disgusting. Apart from the yellowed grey POM pieces, his blue POM pieces turned greenish!
Good review. Thank you for all of the comparisons. The reason the leg didn't peg in for Micro-cassette Recorder form was you didn't have the rear panel plugged all the way into the foot. It needed to be pushed in more, and then the leg would have pegged in properly. Keep up the excellent work.
I’m waiting for mine :( hope it ships soon :( If it wasn’t for the movie edition of the G1 mold reissue, this would be my first Sounwave with cassettes!
I am waiting for mine to arrive. Yes, I ordered United Soundwave purely for Buzzsaw, but with Ravage, I may swap out his Netflix grey legs with the United black neck.
The difference between the casette opening mechanism is maybe due to the paint that is on the G1 version. It's gold reaches all over the hinge probably thickening it.
You're right. I accidentally looked through my two drawers of Transformers shirts to accidentally find that specific shirt. It's funny how it worked out.
I can't believe they still havent gotten rid of those stupid spaceship mode nubs on his forearms from the siege mold! So glad i jumped ship to the MP/3P side.
Not sure if your figured out how to fix the issue with the final transformation. You need to go back to when you fold up the feet, and don't quite fold it all the way. Fold almost all the way, and keep adjusting until you get there. I had that issue with one of my Soundwaves.
I'm seriously debating on picking this guy up because my Netflix Soundwave is pretty yellowed like all the other copies out there. Still dunno why they called the cassette Rumble when it's based on *Frenzy's toy* and not cartoon Rumble, so...
I would want a nicer finish/materials to spend that kind of money. Not a fan of that Ravage design in robot mode. Love the Buzzsaw and Rumble and Soundwave himself.
I've been looking at this guy cause I wanna add a Soundwave to my collection. Does he scale well with Studio Series 86 Optimus Prime and Legacy Galvatron?
Does anyone remember the transformers you could mail order from an add in the boxes. There was 3, you needed like 3 proofs of purchase and like 6 dollars or something. I had one but sadly mom gave my toys away. It was like late gen 1 early gen 2.
I'm frightened for two reasons, LOL. Number one: I don't want it to turn yellow like my Netflix Soundwave and number two: What if there's a new mold for studio series 86. Collecting Transformers is a never-ending battle 😂
Dunno what it is about the packaging, but I just think all transformers should be packaged in the original style 1980s packaging schemes, they just look right, anything else looks pants, I do give exception too tomy takara mp packaging as they are quite nice.
Since a lot of the people who actually care about this thing already have 86 rumble and frenzy, I think it would’ve been better to replace core rumble with a laserbeak and/or Ratbat
Ravage looks better, but he looks too fat. Buzzsaw would have looked better with some laser mounts(maybe a 3rd party can come to the rescue!). Looking forward to getting this set because I don't have any of the others.
That'll NEVER be a G1 figure, delusional regurgitated mold abuse. lol I cant wait for the G1 Arcee prototype figure to be released, I wish it wasn't a missing dink! Maybe G1 prototype Unicron's next if they have any brains over there at Hasboring XD_ _ _
Found a copy in the wild. Sadly, all tapes were taken. Satchel gone too. Hasbro's course correct is as slow as a slug.
Someone stole the cassette bots and the weapons? That’s fucking lame. People suck.

My Hot Soldiers Soundwave is giving me the cold shoulder for watching other Soundwaves
I keep mine distracted by putting him with all my other Soundwaves. I think he might be intimidated. LOL
@ToySpotlite is it me or the camera angle, but is the new robot mode slightly bigger than netflix 🤔
@@ToySpotlite I don't think so because he thinks he is superior to everyone (small but dangerous)
They are the same size. Probably camera angle.
I see what you did there
I was convinced my Netflix Soundwave hadn't yellowed, and then I put it next to this one and was shocked at how bad it actually had discolored.
Yeah, the Netflix release is very prone to yellowing. Mine looks disgusting. Apart from the yellowed grey POM pieces, his blue POM pieces turned greenish!
Hi Captain Superior! First of 2 shirts arrived, very pleased! Good hunting!
Captain I do like your reviews. Keep it coming
Subscribed, cause ayy yoo this commentary is raw.
When I saw your video go up I checked walmart to see if he was in stock now, and got free next day delivery, I'm so excited
you reminded me i switched the arms on my Netflix version with the Siege. gotta have those stripes.
Good review. Thank you for all of the comparisons. The reason the leg didn't peg in for Micro-cassette Recorder form was you didn't have the rear panel plugged all the way into the foot. It needed to be pushed in more, and then the leg would have pegged in properly. Keep up the excellent work.
I will try that. Thanks!
Mine has a problem where the peg doesn't align with the hole.
Dang, I think Buzzsaw is the smallest Leader Class figure to date
I’m waiting for mine :( hope it ships soon :(
If it wasn’t for the movie edition of the G1 mold reissue, this would be my first Sounwave with cassettes!
Very good review! I was on the fence about this but I'm gonna get it now. Need that Buzzsaw. Still don't like Ravage.
I am waiting for mine to arrive. Yes, I ordered United Soundwave purely for Buzzsaw, but with Ravage, I may swap out his Netflix grey legs with the United black neck.
it's not just you. My Legacy Soundwave also doesn't snap together correctly.
Im dumb....Just noticed those boxes are easier to open from the bottom.
SoundBLaster ( TakaraTomy Siege version ) also has yellow discoloring on some gray parts.
6:01 and he comes with a gun. And there's details inside his cassette. Where Netflix doesn't have it much.
0:20
Linkara from Atop the Fourth Wall would agree!
I think the cassette player that most resembles Soundwave would be a Sony Walkman, though they are still pretty different.
They could’ve given us a soundwave in legacy that has garboil,buzzsaw,enemy,howlback and glit instead of what we ended up getting
The difference between the casette opening mechanism is maybe due to the paint that is on the G1 version. It's gold reaches all over the hinge probably thickening it.
Hey, Your Shirt is Soundwave. You did that on accident, and not on purpose. I just know. You can't fool me. Nice review as well.
You're right. I accidentally looked through my two drawers of Transformers shirts to accidentally find that specific shirt. It's funny how it worked out.
I can't believe they still havent gotten rid of those stupid spaceship mode nubs on his forearms from the siege mold! So glad i jumped ship to the MP/3P side.

I just got my copy yesterday from Gzmestop last one left
i just got mine! and exactly like you said. The two legs don't fit flush and are almost at an angle.
Rat bat is my favorite cassette.
I’m hesitant about getting this because I want a studio series 86 sound wave. Drives me nuts 🤣🤦🏻♂️
How the heck is your Netflix version haven't yellowed?
Mine hasn't either, but I basically store my figures in a room with blackout curtains. The lots of light exposure is the enemy of plastic.
I didn't like the look of the plastic and now you say that! I hope this new one doesn't go like that.
@@Twinsidedsoldieri don’t have my toys exposed to light and my prone to yellowing figures did anyway :(
A lot of the yellowing on newer figures isn't due to light, it's due to flame-retardant additives in the plastic separating out.

The navy blue on the legacy United Soundwave looks slightly more vibrant compared to the Netflix one.
Wish the would have remolded his arms but still an awesome figure
I wish someone made a mp ko version but down to the size of this one.
I've been looking at this guy cause I wanna add a Soundwave to my collection. Does he scale well with Studio Series 86 Optimus Prime and Legacy Galvatron?
Hopefully this one won't yellow. Mine was in a Closed case nowhere near sunlight and it yellowed
Is the blue on this soundwave lighter than the nemesis bridge version? I have the nemesis version but his blue is so dark almost black in low lighting
Does anyone remember the transformers you could mail order from an add in the boxes. There was 3, you needed like 3 proofs of purchase and like 6 dollars or something. I had one but sadly mom gave my toys away. It was like late gen 1 early gen 2.
Eh, maybe if they repaint this into a generations selects soundblaster, maybe he’ll include enemy as his pack-in partner
How many cassettes can fit in this version of soundwave? I haven’t had this mold at all yet and I haven’t seen the answer.
Just one at a time. Like the original
@@ToySpotlitethank you for the reply 👍😄
Only Soundwave that fits 2 tapes in his chest is the Magic Square version.
The Fall of Cybertron Soundwave can fit multiple "disc" minions.
Just lost to much furniture cant afford him or 86 Prime nooo but really did come out great
I'm frightened for two reasons, LOL. Number one: I don't want it to turn yellow like my Netflix Soundwave and number two: What if there's a new mold for studio series 86. Collecting Transformers is a never-ending battle 😂
No indication there will be a SS86 Soundwave in 2025, so more likely 2026.
9:01 the yellowing could be from light lead paint? 😮
Looks like Hasbro's trying to still kill us. 😂
do you have the Takara bridge set too ?
Yes. I reviewed it. ruclips.net/video/RbXxR23Z2NE/видео.html
@@ToySpotlite I would have been nice to see all three versions side by side
Should I buy this one or the G1 40th anniversary re-issue?!
Mine is otw next weke
Dunno what it is about the packaging, but I just think all transformers should be packaged in the original style 1980s packaging schemes, they just look right, anything else looks pants, I do give exception too tomy takara mp packaging as they are quite nice.
I'm good with just having the original Siege version.
Since a lot of the people who actually care about this thing already have 86 rumble and frenzy, I think it would’ve been better to replace core rumble with a laserbeak and/or Ratbat
FRENZY. Fight me.
How did you get it already?
I guess one place shipped early.
Captain Kyle superior; other reviewers inferior.
I just bought the netflix one for the same price as this on ebay rip. Now google reccomends me a video to make me sad.
Ravage looks better, but he looks too fat. Buzzsaw would have looked better with some laser mounts(maybe a 3rd party can come to the rescue!). Looking forward to getting this set because I don't have any of the others.
Made in chine, vietnam or thiland?
So annoying they added to the FIRRIB/RIRFIB argument by mis-naming this toy-deco Frenzy as Rumble.
Still prefer the ravage mold for the thunder machine g.i. Joe crossover
Thats literally just the masterpiece figure so it wouldn’t fit in the gen figure anyway
Me likes.
That'll NEVER be a G1 figure, delusional regurgitated mold abuse. lol I cant wait for the G1 Arcee prototype figure to be released, I wish it wasn't a missing dink! Maybe G1 prototype Unicron's next if they have any brains over there at Hasboring XD_ _ _
this was a good value, but the ravage transformation kinda stinks
Buzz saw? I thought his name was laserbeak?
Didn’t realize they were two different characters! My bad! Lol
