    I'm getting it...if only for Laserbeak. The extended deck can be for "Soundwave starting to make an energon cube" action.

    I prefer the one tape door in deck mode. I can't see Spike carrying that on his shoulder into the Ark while rocking out to Whitesnake. The door would smack him in the ear.

    But in robot mode, barrel chest FTW!

    I know he comes with Ravage and Laserbeak, but does he come with the 'Employee of the Month' plaque that he won in Family Guy?

    That would RAWK!

    Why would he be carrying it on his shoulder?

    thats how they showed him in the cartoons.

    soundwave was actually a walkman but the cartoon kept depicting him as a deck/boombox.

    Totally. The double deck kinda messes up the tape mode, but I really like how he looks in bot mode.

    That's how you carried your boombox in 1985. You need to watch this instructional video.

    Wish they were using Buzzsaw instead of Laserbeak.

    What about the picture frame that he ejects? That was awesome! Isn't in another episode too? I know Optimus is jewish in one but I thought Soundwave did something else one time?

    I don't mind that the new tape door sticks out a bit, but I still dunno if I like the finger slot on the top. I have found, however, that it looks less weird when the tapes are actually in his chest.

    It’s in the same episode.
    Optimus Prime is Jewish, but Soundwave is definitely Christian.

    The picture he ejects from his chest is of him and his wife.
    They met in a Christian chat room.

    He’s also been on Robot Chicken.
