    What are Soundwave's arms made of? They feel like soft plastic, but I'm not even sure.

    Yes, I believe one is packed per box.


    I got mine pulled from the back at Target last night, and man do I love it. He's a wee bit short compared to Starscream, but that is my only complaint. They both scale well with Voyager Megatron.

    That Voyager Starscream is going to be WAY oversized.

    Plastic. Plastics can be formulated for a wide range of hard and softs, rigid and non rigid. Most of Soundwave is made up of what's called ABS plastic, but his forearms could be made up of some harder formula of PVC plastic. I wouldn't really know. Any plastic experts out there?

    Basically this is how it looks when you first get it.

    [​IMG]

    Flip it around so it looks like this.

    [​IMG]

    Then it will put a tab behind the black piece to hold it up like this

    This will make it so the head can sit higher in bot mode.

    You can tell he switched it. In the first pic, there is a medium length piece of plastic above the screw. The second pic shows a much shorter piece above the screw.

    I didn't see it at all at first, but after I read this I see what he did. It doesn't seem hard to do. I am assuming that if you just take that screw out, flip the piece around, then screw it back in it will be fine.

    Soundwave looks great! I may just pick up the Takara one to save myself the headache of finding him since he is so short packed.

    Dont even need to that much. The engine piece itself pops out off its hinge and you just put in the opposite way.

    So instead of being hunched over and floppy

    His head can be posed and actually look around.

    Gah these pics are dark I will try to get better ones later when my phone is charged.

    No he's not. He's two per case, like every other character in the wave.

    He's probably just harder to find, because everybody wants him and Wheeljack, and not Cliffjumper and Bumblebee as much.
