This SS86 version is still better. Retooling would've been nice, but I'm really looking forward to getting this figure. And I'm calling it now, SS86 Soundwave will be released in 2026 as part of the 40th anniversary of the animated movie.
makes you wonder if this is the exact reason they decided to do it. now we just need a rerelease of rewind in solid. it's be nice to get slamdance, rosana, flipsides, and all his animal cassetes.
I personally think this looks more accurate to how Blaster looked in the show do to him never having part if his chest see-through long how the Kingdom version of Blaster was.
Hey, I love this piece. Thank you. I would not have even known that this was available if it wasn't for this video. Luckily my target is legit! I've been looking for a blaster that meets my standards. I paid $38 (American) and some change out the door which, is totally worth it to me. The reason I like it so much is for the exact opposite reason you list it as a detriment. I truly hated the black paint accents. I'm old...I had the original. I just didn't like it. Yeah, wish the other knob was black, but that is about it. I'm still looking for a new Soundwave that meets my standards. Until then I will rock the Takara Masterpiece Soundwave! I love you videos. Keep up the great work!
"I don't think these scale too great..." I mean, Perceptor's scale is fine. Perceptor turns into a gigantic microscope. Blaster on the other hand sometimes turns into a human sized boom box.
There are some details which they could’ve altered to make it more screen accurate. The handle bars on the legs I would’ve liked to see reduced and the boom box needed a face lift
"blasting some banging tunes" me : *starts playing "What I've Done", "New Divide", "Iridescent Version 1 and the Movie Version", "Numb" and "Lost" by Linkin Park*
One of the biggest thing I was hoping to see remolded was the chest, I know we won't be able to store all his minions in his chest but I would have liked to store at least 2 in his chest like they did with GenSelects Soundblaster.
Please don't torture me like this hahaha 🤣, in the last videos, Hound has made several cameos, I can't wait to see his review and that of his packmates, as always, great video PvP... 😄
I own the original Legacy version but I'm a big fan of Blaster since he was my first Transformer back in the 90s so to own the original paint scheme of an updated version, I'm stoked. I also have the reissue of the G1 version I had and still love it!
I for one prefer the transparent plastic over the solid look especially when it comes to the card bots. The solid colored windows, especially in that blue make the figures look cheap similar to the oversized figures that Walgreens carries.
plastic quality does play a factor in yellowing but even then it's not normal for it to happen this fast. Is there any humidity or light excess in your room? Or maybe the plastic has gone through temperature stress. My room get's really really cold during winter no matter what i do, and i'm in constant fear any of my figures will get damaged, brittle or yellowed
7:04 my heart broke when you brought out dead earthrise Optimus prime and said he’s slowly on his way out because he’s one of my first transformers when I started collecting them😔😢
This guy is BEAUTIFUL! I don't have Blaster yet, so this guy is a definite pickup! & Eject is solid plastic, so thats cooll! I definitely want to grab this guy REALLY soon! Theres literally NOTHING wrong with this Blaster, at all!
Found him in the wild at 20% off. Got him for $27. Wasn't going to grab him at first but said why not. Now I have both versions. Just wish that they would do a better job with the paint details. Some over spray/ brush in the areas around his face.
a pretty nice figure indeed and eject looks way better now, btw just seen some news of a new legacy united 4 pack including tarn (slight recolor), cliffjumper(re-use of the chase mold), tarantulas(repaint) and squeezeplay(headmaster), i myself am gonna hunt for that till i find it, it would make a very fine addition to my collection
Honestly, I never got the molds in that five pack in their original sculpts (or at all in the case of sunstreaker and wheeljack), so I may consider this pack
Also, I decided to go with the Studio Series bumblebee cybertronian figures (still need to track down brawn and ratchet’s versions) over the siege release, since that’s a lot more accessible. Needless to say, I have a lot of back collecting to do
That tab at 9:57 had a problem, at least with mine. The tab was not a perfect rectangle, it had an extra bit of plastic, making it perpendicular so it wouldn't fit into the slot. I had to use my utility knife and cut off the extra bit, then, et voila, it fit.
@@PrimeVsPrime Yeah i don't blame you there, though I'm mostly just getting Knightverse figures and have plans for some custom figures like Barricade using the car DropKick, Swindle from off-road Bee, and Flamewar from a modded SS Core Arcee.
@@reverbtheraptor8529 What abt Battletrap as Swindle? Would he be too big? Also, is Battletrap still in stores?, cuz online hes literally nowhere. Its like he vanished from (digital/virtual) thin air.
@@reverbtheraptor8529 Shame abt Battletrap. I hope he can be rereleased. & understandable. That makes sense. It'd be a little weird for Swindle to be that big.
I noticed your Kingdom/Legacy Blaster yellowed in the same spot as both my copies.... I'm hoping this 86 version doesn't have the defective yellowing plastic... I have to get this one in hopes yellowing doesn't plague this one as well...
`Well, I mean, the window on Blaster's chest was an insert so the entire chest wasn't clear plastic. Eject, however, was gang molded in clear with the window. I'm just pissed that we can't seem to get Eject and Rewind released in solid plastic colors in a two pack so we can have some cassette bots for him. Hell, Hasbro will probably just release new tooled SS86 figures of them just to make us buy another thing.
Soundwave is my favorite Transformer design of all time, so being able to get Blaster awesome. My one gripe of the design is the permanently extended trigger finger.
Look, if this thing had been the only way for me to get Steeljaw, I just wouldn't get to have Steeljaw, because I already have kingdom Blaster and I'm not buying a new Voyager for a cassette bot. I'd much prefer if they sell him seperately.
Honestly, they should have made this guy a Leader Class release. That way it could have fixed some of the gaps, add more paints, make improved figures for Eject as well as adding Rewind to the package and give them guns.
Despite lazy, but still cool figure. Coincidentally, i don't have Blaster from Kingdom line yet. So, if i got chance, i will pick up this Blaster. Nice video, PrimevsPrime, transform and ROLL OUT 🤗!
Hasbro claims they've fixed the yellowing after Legacy year 1 so a brand new figure like Cybertron Starscream should be okay. Then again, Hasbro aren't exactly known for their honest...
Blaster is one of My favorite character from Transformers i love he's colores it is red and yellow similar color of lightning McQueen I can't wait for have blaster in My Transformers collection
Yeah i totally purchased this guy even though i had kingdom. Eject i this is better than transparent. He just so clean. I agree with the boombox details were lazy. But when he transformed into the chair to radio prime there wasn't a lot of detail in that scene. I really hope the do a repaint and new mold for soundwave and maybe a core class for steeljaw and ramhorn
Can’t wait for soundwave get a proper mold update for studio series to go alongside blaster, kinda funny how blaster has his proper 86 figures before soundwave. The earthrise Netflix mold needs updating due to the siege bits holding it back like the arms
My original version is trash now for me the cassette deck is hard to open, and the legs joints are loose now so I need this to replace the original version
Just picked him up with that Target Circle 30% off deal and honestly I think he was worth it for that! Never got the Kingdom version and my Netflix Soundwave hasn't yellowed at all yet *knock on wood*, so they look great together! Definitely wouldn't mind if they gave Soundwave a solid plastic cassette deck and a better Ravage. Laserbeak was fine but I keep Ravage in cassette mode so his transparent deck looks less off 😂
which three cassettes are coming with Legacy Soundwave? Ravage, Laserbeak and Buzzsaw? Autoscout, Slugfest and Overkill? Sqwuaktalk, Beastbox and Flip Sides?
This SS86 version is still better. Retooling would've been nice, but I'm really looking forward to getting this figure. And I'm calling it now, SS86 Soundwave will be released in 2026 as part of the 40th anniversary of the animated movie.

Think of it this way, those who missed out on this guy can now get him 😂😂😂
Very true! But they’ve could’ve given him a new head at least haha!

I will be buying Immediately I love the non Transparency
It's not like the original is rare though. He was released twice.

To be very honest, I kinda wanna sell my Legacy version for this version!

Amazing review.
Haha thanks!🔥
Prime vs prime your my favourite RUclips keep up the good work🎉🎉
Thanks so much mate!👊🏻🔥
Really nice review as always PVP. I am just waiting for a G1 Soundwave, that would make me very happy and would make my bank a few £ lighter.
En vez de sacar a Soundwade para colocar sus cassette en su pecho, sacan a Blaster, debo admitir que me encanto

I’m only getting this because he never showed up in my area keep up the great work bro love the channel
Thanks so much! It’s a great figure!
I almost bought the kingdom version and literally the next day the listing was leaked for this guy. Already ordered him and I’m glad I waited.
Never had the other 2 releases of Blaster. This was a perfect grab for me.
7:04 my heart broke when you brought out dead earthrise Optimus prime and said he’s slowly on his way out because he’s one of my first transformers when I started collecting them😔😢
As cool as this is, how have you kept your extremely yellowed soundwave intact?
I ask myself that question all the time! Poor Soundwave has been decimated!
@@PrimeVsPrimeyikes. Hopefully we get a ss86 soundwave.
I love your reviews! Do you think they’ll restock 86 Ultra Magnus?!
No 😭
i mean the boombox handle being on the side of the legs are accurate to the g1 toon
They were just tiny little grips, no where near as big as this guys. Still not bad but not great
Ya remember me? Cool figure with massive improvements from the legacy version and a more toon-accurate deco.
Wayyy more toon inspired for sure! Thanks for checking back in mate!
@@PrimeVsPrimetechnicality, if you bought twincast which I did you got his other human bot which name escapes me right now.

Gonna look great!🤩🔥
I got this figure since I did an online order with ROTB on DVD, so I am paying for both at a cheaper price combined
Oh nice one!
The white on the head and face looks nice. But i already got the toyhax for the original, and the stickers make it look pretty much the same as this.
