    I have never seen someone make a "modernized soundwave" from sonicron, and i have seen people try to make hotshot from armada fun.

    Nobody that owns sonicron seems to like that fact, and with the recent ths soundwave, it'd be better spent on that guy, but if you really want a camcorder soundwave, it's not a bad price, so give him a try.

    Super tight joints on my one.

    Yeah, *sometimes*, to the point of driving some honest sellers out of business. More scumbag buyers than sellers if you ask me on ebay.

    People that do shit like order $1000 PC online, receive it, empty the box, then take a photo and claim they signed for an empty box, then the seller is forced to give them a refund, negative feedback on ebay and the asshole keeps the PC and pockets the $1000.
    And no, I'm not making this up, it's sadly common on ebay, and ebay themselves don't give a shit as long as they make money at the end of the day.

    Sonicron is a micro-cassette recorder/player, same as his original diaclone toy - (dictaphone / digital audio recorder ) was "camcorder" a typo? It does look similar to some style of mini cameras, so I can see how that impression might be made.
    I got excited for a moment thinking there was some soundwave toy I had never seen for a moment, pretty convinced there was not, but did a search anyway.

    Tried to buy Sonicron couple times on ebay last year, both times were scammers!

    The

    The upper arms/shoulders cannot swing out or rotate properly, especially his left arm, without lossening the shouler screw. The trigger will keep in place better if you remove it from his back and varnish the plastic post/peg and the circular hole taht it goes into. Once assembled back, it's great.

    Perhaps, even "Hasblo", as it's a proper noun. Semantics.

    At first I thought this was the Galvatron Captain America figure we saw before, but it's an Optimus Prime Cap instead.

    Thought I'd share my second south Korean oversized g2 bruticus that arrived for Easter, and the other same-sized repaints of swindle and vortex I have come across through the Years. 20170416_165124.jpg 20170416_165413.jpg 20170416_171631.jpg 20170416_170431.jpg 20170416_165948.jpg

    Always on the lookout for the repaints of onslaught, blastoff and brawl - if you see them, help me out. :thumb

    Hulk and Iron Man are based on the Armed Champion figures.
