I absolutely love this figure. A great homage to the g1 Soundwave. Hasbro is doing a remarkable job of giving us updates to a lot of the g1 transformers. Continue to keep the great work.
They could even have a running joke about it to make it even worse. Rumble: "hey frenzy, over here!" Frenzy: "I'm rumble!" Rumble: "no that's not right, I'm pretty sure you're frenzy and I'm rumble!" Frenzy: "no, it's definitely the other way around."
It's true that in the very first Transformers episode, you could see that each of the Autobots and Decepticons had their robot "Earth Modes", but their vehicle forms were Cybertronian, as we saw with Wheeljack, Bumblebee, Starscream and the other Seekers. That's probably because the animators didn't want to bother (or had very little time and money) to create true Cybertronian robot modes for them, so they kept their robot forms as they will keep them when they come to Earth million of years later after scanning different Earth vehicles and accessories. That said, Soundwave here looks spectacular! They did a terrific job in making him look as close as they could possibly make him from his G1 version, really awesome!
@@solenopsis7366 I know it’s not like that I hate the Siege one, it’s just I thought the Cassette Player or Boombox Mode would be best for Soundwave to me.
@DarkChroniclesXII I'm with you on this, and am a Beast Era kid. While I do find the Netflix one absolutely gorgeous and worth purchasing for just for the work and engineering, him and Megatron shrinking into immobile alt modes always struck me as silly, especially since media themselves have shied away of deliberate mass shifting. I will admit, the ones who are definitely inferior lifeforms are the scalpers who've made this so discouraging to hunt down. Likewise not fond of Siege's choice of design for a ship, but rather than being a straight up ship, I'm passing it off as a satellite like ROTF Soundwave that's a bit more flight capable than your average satellite, while his cassette-esque form is less of a giant one and more of a sound-based attack mode
For anyone looking in Australia for this, I picked mine up a couple of weeks ago at Kmart. They also have the blind box leader class, exclusive Ultra Magnus.
Good review! I got this Soundwave 1 month ago here in the Netherlands and it's definitely one of my favorite figures out of the Earthrise/Siege collection.
By far, one of my favorite characters and toys to ever be produced. I missed the retail release, and would love to get another one to display in his micro cassette recorder mode. I picked one off a secondary market, and had to buy the Siege version to get the weapons. Also, Soundwave wasn’t a cassette player. He was a micro cassette recorder, meant for recording voice dictation such as with a college class. I owned a micro cassette recorder, so I know this. Now, Blaster was the cassette player without recording abilities.
Cracking figure, I'm very pleased with mine. They've done well to fix the tight fitting tapes issue from the Siege mold. The new laserbeak & ravage plus the Frenzy/Rumble mold slot in the chest nicely. The Ratbat mold is a squeeze but 4/5 ain't bad
his chest is a little different too. the cassette door is the same but the parts on either side of it are wider. also the head sculps on both cassettes is different. awesome figure i just wish there wasn't a gap above the buttons in cassette player mode =)
I wish Netflix can make a new dream works animated series for the transformers only with the Michael Bay movie characters that way it's both prequels and continuations . Side by side at least five seasons based on how these movies came out but this time to start out as prequels. and I made a list of major Autobots and decepticons who should exist more often Autobots: Optimus prime Bumblebee Iron hide Ratchet Jazz Jet fire Side swipe Jolt Arcee Elita one Chromia Skids Mudflap Wheelie Sentinel prime Brains Road Buster Lead foot Topspin Wheel jack Dino Hound Drift Cross hairs Grimlock Strafe Slug Scorn Dragon strom Talisman Knight Hot rod Sqweeks Codman Canopy Day trader Tranch Bulldog Cliff jumper Brawn Decepticons: Megatron Star scream Barricade Frenzy Black out Scorponok Bone crusher Brawl The fallen Sound wave Ravage Devastator Demolisher Payload Rampage Mix Master Long haul Scrapper Side ways Reed man Scapel A.l.i.c.e.

I got one of the most superior soundwave figures that I have been wanting for a while. Masterpiece soundwave and its not a KO. I love the figure and I'm waiting for the rest of the cassettes to get here
Luckily I went to a Walmart for some stuff and decided to go to the toy aisle and BOOM soundwave was there and I didn’t know it arrived and I freaked out and of course bought it. Nice review!
I think I finally figured out the mysterious grey gun that comes with soundwave. I got mine today was playing about with it put it on megatrons back as supposed to but I thought there has to be more to it and why release it with soundwave. The barrel resembles megatrons G1 gun mode yes but folded over in pistol mode I put it in star screams hand and realised the entire gun vaguely resembles megatrons g1 gun mode which soundwave used in the show only modern and spacey. I think that’s what it is it is to be used by megatrons to complete the look but by other deceptions as megatron in gun mode or at least a nod to it.
I don’t know why you wrote another chapter of the Bible to explain that. You could’ve just said: “the gray gun is probably a nod to megatons original g1 mode”
I like siege sw bot mode. But I like earth rise colours more. The alt modes of both versions doesn’t really matter to me. Guess I’ll get both versions.
7:49 🤣😂🤣. Its not from the speaker perspective *its from the listener's perspective.* Same goes for home theater speaker setup. Right means right and left means left. Just say Hasbro dropped the ball and keep it moving.
So after I transformed him a couple of times the front panel that becomes the play button it doesn't plug in anymore like it pops back up and its stupid I don't know how to fix this and this is my second copy of this figure
I hope I find this guy soon. Haven’t found him yet in any of my Walmart stores near me, and it getting very hard not to give in to the scalpers. I’m keeping an eye out on eBay for the original price.
keep checking your Walmart in the mornings or pay online...that's the only choice you got. good luck on pre-orders or in-stock alerts 'cause as soon as you get an alert, people scoop it all up within seconds...not even minutes🤦♂️
you guys need to check your Walmarts either early in the mornings or late at night. check in often. you never know. .........or try to find the lowest priced online and skip the headache of hunting and waiting months or even years....
For the life of me I can't get the last step of transforming him back to the boom box to tab in, the section with the play/rewind/ etc. I have everything put together as it should but the little tabs keep popping out lol is anyone else having this problem it's driving me batty 😵

I want to see Rumble and Frenzy in the Netflix show as well, so fans could argue which color they are.
They could even have a running joke about it to make it even worse.
Rumble: "hey frenzy, over here!"
Frenzy: "I'm rumble!"
Rumble: "no that's not right, I'm pretty sure you're frenzy and I'm rumble!"
Frenzy: "no, it's definitely the other way around."

Soundwave: “Earthrise Superior, Siege Inferior.”
Nah man the superior soundwave is masterpiece. Earthrise second place
I think they are both superb, and personal preference determines which is better. I’m going to need both

Man these all look fantastic. Thanks for the video

This soundwave is so awesome! Awesome review!
Both ravage and Lazerbeak has a retool heads
Weren't those old iPod things called Walkmans?
his chest is a little different too. the cassette door is the same but the parts on either side of it are wider. also the head sculps on both cassettes is different. awesome figure i just wish there wasn't a gap above the buttons in cassette player mode =)
I wish he also came with Rumble and Frenzy
Soundwave is the best Con

You can also make a hammer out of his secondary gun if you flip it open and place one of his batteries into the end.

Great looking figure.
I always thought of the gray gun as Megatron in a Cybertronian gun mode
Since the biceps are on a mushroom peg, you can swap the arms between the Siege and Netflix versions at the biceps.
Hey The stidou series 1986 figures are out
Thats a damn good thumbnail
I like siege sw bot mode. But I like earth rise colours more. The alt modes of both versions doesn’t really matter to me. Guess I’ll get both versions.

I hope they realese a Soundblaster repaint
I hope they make 86 Soundwave and Laserbeak in Studio Series 2024 line
Head IS actually a remold.
Beautiful
I hope they repackage this whole set in the Studio Series 86 line so its available to everyone globally.
One can only hope
They most likely wont
I swapped the weapons with seige soundwave for the added red paint then gave the seige one away to a friend

He never showed up in my area. We got the 3 pack optimus but no soundwaves
That’s odd because they came in the same shipping box...🤷🏽♂️
@@TransformersCollector the only thing I can think of is they got them in but the soundwaves flew off the shelf

Hi
Where can you get this because I haven’t been able to find one any where.
Yeah I'm having the same issue
@Perry & @David : get lucky at your local Walmart or go online and pay the prices 😂🔥🤜⚡🤛
I hope we get a repaint of this mold Into soundblaster 😭
Do the original G1 cassettes fit this version? Or is it just the Siege ones?
That's a good question. I'm not sure honestly
I like soundwave alot I wish I could have him
gotta be willing to shell out the moolah for him, hard as hell to find in the wild at WALMARTs....
I know this is unrelated to the video but can you please do a review but the price of the figure is the length of the video
Wondering whether I should buy this, any suggestions?
keep checking your Walmart in the mornings or pay online...that's the only choice you got. good luck on pre-orders or in-stock alerts 'cause as soon as you get an alert, people scoop it all up within seconds...not even minutes🤦♂️
Walmart’s website won’t ever restock on him 😞
It’s so annoying and whenever it does again(hopefully) it’s just going to get scalped

Is nice
Hey anything is better than lamp post soundwave from g1 in my opinion.
Who the heck keeps their Soundwave in lamppost mode? 😆
Me.
Had to this one to my collection a couple of weeks a go.. got lucky and seen only 1 at the nearby Walmart.
Such a missed oportunity to finally update his alt mode, earthrise has been a bucket of missed opportunities actually, with a lot of parts forming
But the whole point of earthrise is to redo the g1 characters with their transformations
