@@speedlimit6869 Blaster's a full-sized boombox. Soundwave is more like a Walkman. "Personal stereo" is basically a generic term for products similar to the Walkman.
I ordered this guy when he came out and still have him. Uses him for a week and he's been on my shelf since. As an OG G1 fan, you don't know how cool it was to finally have a functioning Soundwave.
The pre-g1 and Japan only versions of a lot of g1 toys were functional. Both proto-Megatron and Browning fired little pellets, pre-blaster was a functional radio, and preceptor was a functional microscope. Unreleased was a flashlight and binoculars, who cameoed in Dreamwave comics.
You can buy a cheap, small, unpowered mono speaker and connect it to the shoulder/headphone socket. Then, you can paste some G1 Soundwave voice/sound effect samples and now it can speak!
On off button is press and hold down the play/pause button for about 3-5 seconds. I love the novelty of this guy. Got him with blaster from the same line. He changes into a laptop alt mode that has 4 working usb ports:) fun little office toys to be sure:)
A while back I was looking for one of these amazing Soundwaves and came across a Linkin Park themed one, I assume as a tie in for the Transformers movie. I still kinda regret not picking it up.
i got this as well from ebay and i love it! An ongoing joke in my house is that he will play inappropriate songs when you make a request since i randomized the mp3 playlist. Soundwave: "No one tells Soundwave what to play...You let them tell you what to play they lose respect for you. They lose respect for you, you lose control... Not today! Not Today....Everyday they will test you... everyday they will push you to the brink, you must fight them Soundwave... Fight them...I warned you, over and over again, not to tell me how to do my job.....you brought this on yourself...are you happy? "
I’ve been waiting for the video, he made a short about this bot and i thought i was never going to see the full review BUT LOOK WHAT POPPED UP IN MY RECOMMENDATIONS
Bro my version has paint chip marks on the thighs due to the transformation. They're small but very noticeable 😢 It's the flat part under the buttons that has marks. It has to scrape on the top of the waiste to transform. Its also the blaster black version 😅
Great video! Thank you! I got these when they came out, intending for them to be my go-to MP3 players . . . and then, as is usual for Soundwave, the technology of his alt-mode quickly became obsolete. The Rumble & Frenzy headphones are nifty to have as novelties and collectibles, but they don't work spectacularly well, either.
I've wanted one of these for years but never could find one. I checked Ebay and they are going for well over 100 dollars. That's alot to spend on an MP3 playing toy. It might be worth it. I do love soundwave! If only it talked and did the voice!
I don't think I've ever had a tech review make me laugh as hard as this. "and you can tell by my skin color I'm from the other side of Asia" that shit killed me
That so cool, it would've been awesome having Soundwave that transforms into a Best quality 👍and real player that can be really good when you listen to music.
I remember when I was 9 year old , I had a small Soundwave figure (about 10 cm), but maybe it is not official product so it didn't have its name, only a logo of Decepticon, and small cassette tape replica inside its chest.
I remember seeing these toys in my local stores back in the day. Was a kid with no money back then so could never afford it until they stopped making them
Dankpods should've done with Soundwave! But I don't know why Soundwave doesn't put a cassette tapes! Soundwave is a Sony Walkman! The one that Star-Lord used to listen!
Honestly I think this could work really well as an actual cassette player Like have some of the mini bots for display purposes but also build in a proper player since antiquated tech is coming back into style
Insanely weird- I watched the whole thing without an interruption on basic free RUclips. Rick rolled? I don’t think the creator had any intent of that.
Now review the Megatron that turns into a real gun
Megatron from family guy?
@@KazROBOeatcat megatron THE TRANSFORMER
@@Susukie ehehehehehehe
Robot in disguise
@@KazROBOeatcat family guy reference 💀
I do live in America
That Optimus speaker is the most aggressively 2007 thing I've seen in a while.
Now a Cheetor that can turn into an actual cheetah
And a Megatron that can turn into a working gun
@@jedijack0577 bro😅
@@lauracastro196 let’s be honest someone was going to say it eventually
@@jedijack0577 that’s what I was gonna say
And a shockwave that actually invents gadgets
Now a Soundwave that actually transforms into a personal stereo.
Just a small addendum, but gutting a Sony WM-10 sounds like a pretty viable option to get such a thing working.
That one was called Blaster.. it was an Autobot.. he transformed into a stereo
That would be Blaster, not Soundwave.
@@speedlimit6869 Blaster's a full-sized boombox. Soundwave is more like a Walkman. "Personal stereo" is basically a generic term for products similar to the Walkman.
I'm surprised they didn't do a mini-cassette player like this back in the day.
I think in Japan there's a functioning one?
The original Japanese CassetteMan that became Soundwave worked
You have to do something funky with his head, but it should be pretty easy to squeeze a walkman into a larger Soundwave.
Imagine if they made Cd player on it or even better vinyl player that would be mega cool.
my favourite soundwave quote is from Cybertron
"he's just trippin cos he got served"
Please review Unicron who transforms into an actual planet 🙏
NAWWW BRUHH
We're doomed.
Hell nah😂😂😂
I ordered this guy when he came out and still have him. Uses him for a week and he's been on my shelf since. As an OG G1 fan, you don't know how cool it was to finally have a functioning Soundwave.
Now do the Grímlock that turns into an actual Dinosaur
It's always nice to see a transformer review with actual comedy and editing. This certainly deserve a like
How about jobby?
@@bloodbrothers6556 the legendary swivelman
Gavin spence/trdq ?

This is the reason that I love Soundwave, and by extension Blaster. This was just neat.
3:07 bro really used a beat from a Rap Man for the background music 💀
This review was cool as hell. I can't wait to watch the rest of your stuff!
That SD card would have as many copies of just one song on it as it would hold. And that song is "The Touch"
Now review Optimus Primal from Beast Wars (1990s) that turns into a real silverback gorilla.
0:01 get rickrolled at 1 second
Imagine having a toy like this in the '80
we need dank pods to review this
You’ve got the touch!
You got the power, YEAH
On off button is press and hold down the play/pause button for about 3-5 seconds. I love the novelty of this guy. Got him with blaster from the same line. He changes into a laptop alt mode that has 4 working usb ports:) fun little office toys to be sure:)
They need to bring these back, but tech updated for todays Bluetooth etc. they need to make something with omega supreme
It'd be awesome if they'd release a Soundwave figure that's also a Bluetooth speaker.
A while back I was looking for one of these amazing Soundwaves and came across a Linkin Park themed one, I assume as a tie in for the Transformers movie. I still kinda regret not picking it up.

WAIT, I DIDN'T EVEN NOTICE MYSELF IN THERE! I'M FAMOUS!
I bought one of these boxed years ago in spark blue, think I paid about £25 at the time surprised the price has increased that much.
i got this as well from ebay and i love it! An ongoing joke in my house is that he will play inappropriate songs when you make a request since i randomized the mp3 playlist.

Now show a bumblebee that turns into a weaponized muscle car
4:19 is kinda SUSSY MOGUS
I like how he just rickrolls us with the figure
dankpods should review this
If I have the chance to myself one of these, I might actually get it. As a Transformers fan for life, and a neat way of having music.
I’ve been waiting for the video, he made a short about this bot and i thought i was never going to see the full review BUT LOOK WHAT POPPED UP IN MY RECOMMENDATIONS
i go one too long time ago ! i could never found how make him work !!!
Oh god! Your commentary totally cracked me up!!!!
Thanks for reviewing something I can't buy.
Looks like something cool to own, *Now please review the omega supreme that turns into a rocket base, tank, and a space ship*
pls protect this lil guy from that damn crazy Australian nugget destroyer
I still have mine. This was my go-to mp3 player and it worked just fine.
Unfortunately, a couple years back, the slot that holds the SD card crumbled.
0:30
eBai
(Dankpods quivering with PTSD)
Now get a g1 megatron that actually turns into a functional gun
Rick rolled in the beginning, why? 🤣
Bro my version has paint chip marks on the thighs due to the transformation. They're small but very noticeable 😢
It's the flat part under the buttons that has marks. It has to scrape on the top of the waiste to transform. Its also the blaster black version 😅
this maybe two months ago, but i just want to say, i'm more surprized that it's takara tomy brand
How did you missed the opportunity to play songs from the Transformers Movie?!? "You've got the touch! You've got the power!!!"
now review the shockwave that actually turns into a laser gun that WORKS
Now review Perceptor that transforms into a real microscope!
This is the coolest thing ever. I wish you could swap out the SD Drive for a more compatible card
Great video! Thank you!
I got these when they came out, intending for them to be my go-to MP3 players . . . and then, as is usual for Soundwave, the technology of his alt-mode quickly became obsolete.

1:46 YOOO SO THAT'S WHERE MY COOL ASS GREEN AMBULANCE IS FROM
I've wanted one of these for years but never could find one. I checked Ebay and they are going for well over 100 dollars.
That's alot to spend on an MP3 playing toy. It might be worth it. I do love soundwave! If only it talked and did the voice!
I bought this on release and used to bring this guy to work to listen to music.
I'd use this Soundwave to play "You got the Touch" Like everybody else.
He not only plays music, he's got an album coming out next week which is expected to be displace T-Swift.
POV: *you didn't know you got rickrolled*
I don't think I've ever had a tech review make me laugh as hard as this. "and you can tell by my skin color I'm from the other side of Asia" that shit killed me
4:21 Best transformer toy ever
Ohhhh I gotta get this for my dad because I bet it would make his childhood be so nostalgic when Soundwave plays music
I ordered blaster black and blue spark. So excited to listen to music with them ❤️
4:17 you got the touch!
It needs cosmetic turning sprockets so it looks like a functioning tape player.
Nice! I'm on the Hunt for one of these, ever since I got the one that turns into a Tablet!
That so cool, it would've been awesome having Soundwave that transforms into a Best quality 👍and real player that can be really good when you listen to music.
Now review the dinobot that turns into an actual velociraptor
I remember when I was 9 year old , I had a small Soundwave figure (about 10 cm), but maybe it is not official product so it didn't have its name, only a logo of Decepticon, and small cassette tape replica inside its chest.
Scarlett fire? Man of culture.
Friend: Hey, buddy. Can we listen to some music?
Me: Okay. Hold on. I need to transform my transformer back to mp3 player.
Friend: what?
I wouldnt mind if they ever brought these kinda figures back. Imagine a music label soundwave 2.0.
The transformer nugget! DankPods would be proud
🤣 if dankpods reviewed this there would be a lot of nuggets , disassembly and scarlet. Fire.
The dankpods reference made me very happy
I remember seeing these toys in my local stores back in the day. Was a kid with no money back then so could never afford it until they stopped making them
I appreciate the documentation of this figure, as I had no idea that it existed, but the constant zooming is giving me motion sickness
Self transforming optimus, mp3 soundwave... when can there be a self transforming megatron?
I received one of these for my bday. Its a really cool toy
i would actually use that when going out BUUUUTTT ITS FAIRLY EXPENSIVE
Sound Wave getting his rocks off. Fap Fap Fap.🤣 🤣
Dankpods should've done with Soundwave! But I don't know why Soundwave doesn't put a cassette tapes! Soundwave is a Sony Walkman! The one that Star-Lord used to listen!
I’m surprised hasbro hasn’t made actual working sound wave mp3 players more often
yo i was waiting for this video didnt even realise it got released
Nice vid.have this too, got it when it released. There’s a company called Reprolabels that do a G1 sticker sheet, which makes it look even better.
Honestly I think this could work really well as an actual cassette player
Like have some of the mini bots for display purposes but also build in a proper player since antiquated tech is coming back into style
It's not even 10 seconds yet and I already get rick roll
Insanely weird- I watched the whole thing without an interruption on basic free RUclips. Rick rolled? I don’t think the creator had any intent of that.
Dankpods and Jobby should still do it too.
now we need a truck sized optimus prime that turns into a real truck
You seriously gotta review the starscream that turns into an actual jet
It would be nice if they could update this to take more memory
I have the black/purple one and used to bring it with me in college😆
Oh scrap! That's awesome!
“All talk no shock”
Soundwave
I want this masterpiece!
Yoooo I have this guy! My wife got him for my birthday when we were stationed in Japan!
Gosh dang it funny but I wasn’t expecting the Rick roll
Plz Plz i want the next review to be the Metroplex that turns into a real city
SUMMON DA DARK LOARD DAT IS JOBBY THE HONG!!!
You should put mp5 on it, see what happen
At 1:26 the color pf Optimus Prime looks so much like a classic cab (or "skeleton") of Ultra Magnus
And now we need Primus that turns into fucking Cybertron
NoW à ReVieW of a shockwave that creates REAL SHOCKWAVES
