    Not bad.

    Lots of backpack. He could used a collapsible roof.

    I'm really loving his mechtech weapon. Wish we was a silver paint, my same issue with sideswipe. His backpack looks like it'll be annoying, but still a great looking figure, I can't wait to get him!

    I just ordered this toy today off BBTS. A bit pricey, but its basically a late Christmas present from my parents.

    I'm looking forward to having a new version of Soundwave for my movie collection that hopefully holds together a lot better than the ROTF, thanks to all its loose joints and annoying satellite panels.

    Not much review in this review. It was more like an overview.

    Still, thanks for showing us the figure. I will be getting this for the mechtech weapon to use with HA Soundwave, if anything. That windshield-as-ass-panel doesn't make me happy. I might not get him at all.

    There's no excuse for the panel on his back not to fold up any more than it does. It just looks unfinished, and kind of lazy.

    Still, the rest of the figure looks good. It's especially cool how the legs have the angled feet built in. I also like how his gun turns into a sound-enhancer thingamajig.

    Now he's a pass. He looks nothing like the CG-I model exept for the head and arm radars. The Mech Tech weapon doesn't impress me, either.

    Well I might get this one since I do collect soundwaves. I was not happy with what I saw in the HA version (the legs were really really bad). This deluxe actually looks closer to the CGI model than the HA...especially in the legs (sorry Sideways77...can't agree with ya).

    Not sure how I feel about the mech tech, this is a good transforming weapon and is obviously made for sideways alone. I just don't like this gimmick.

    I keep hoping that the backpack part is just mistransformed...I guess it is not. I collect some really well made figures like Battle blades BB, sidearm sideswipe; I am just so used to that level of quality in the design, engineering. It is such a shame that Hasbro designers could not keep up that level of quality found the Hunt for Decepticons line of the ROTF sub-line.

    So yeah I'm kinda torn, I like Soundwave, this toy is not too bad but it is not Hunt for the Decepticons quality by any measure.

    Well, I think the HA looks closer to CG-I model than this thing. Soundwave looks like this:

    This is Soundwave!

    The deluxe barely looks like this.

    Good review, got any size comparison between Soundwave and Bumblebee and Soundwave and leader Megatron?

    I'm so sick of not seeing this figure in stores. Hasbro fucked up the dotm line.

    You forgot to pull his speakers out on his arms. I can't remember if they're mentioned in the instructions, but they do pop out.
