GX-03 Soundblaster

No bio card in mine. Though that is not surprising considering that TDP Black Fang Wolf didn't include one either. Looks like the TDP exclusives are coping out a little bit with the extras.

I'm betting it's an inconsistent thing then since my Soundblasters left arm is fine but the right arm is loose.

On mine his left arm is very loose (I am referring to his actual left arm, around the elbow aria).

No, there may be paperwork calling him a minicon, but a minicon Buzzsaw is not.

I was planning on makind a joke about Buzzsaw and Laserbeak having "male" parts, where most minicons have "female" parts. Then I thought of every other time gender is brought up in this fandom and decided against it.

One bonus over LB/BS having a peg is that any other Cybertron can hold him in their fist. I love the consistency in the fist holes. Anyone can become a falconer!

I finally got Galaxy Force Soundblaster. I've been drooling for this guy since I saw the pics. I placed a preorder almost immediately. When the package came, I ripped it open to find out... that he's only OK.

The jet mode is cool so are the canister thingies that transform into Buzzsaw and weapons. The colors are sweet and make for a really nice homage to G1 Soundblaster. When I started to transfrom him into robot made, my opinion of him started to drop.

The transform kind of reminded me of a cross between Energon Slugslinger and Cybertron Sideways. Those two were good but not quite great molds to me. The kibble stuff on his "wings" and plane parts on his arm limit the articulation on the upper body. It sucks that you need the force chip to open the chest but it's not too bad.

The head is nice, I like the sculpt and the red light piping makes him look more menacing. He's an awesome display piece but as a toy he's falls a bit short because of the hampered articulation.

You don't adore the Noisemaze mold??? SS what the hell man?

I got this guy today and wow I love him! my ONLY complaint is that I wish they set up the shield/cockpit on his left arm to rotate like it does on Noisemaze so that you could pose the arm in any way you wanted.. it IS limited since they did not, but honestly with the dual-hinge its on, you can still pose it in a lot of ways. All the joints on my SB are nice and snug except for the ball his head is mounted on, so no complaints there. No deformations or QC issues that I have found either

I'm one happy camper... I sure wish they'd make more guys to go along with Hell Buzzsaw.. he's an absolute GEM!! would love some of those minicon sets to have some .. like I dunno, Ratbat? Any of the dinos? Or even his combiner fellas... I can't wait to get Cyb Soundwave to put with him...

Well Noisemaze/Sideways is an awesome display piece with a cool transformation but his range of motion feels so hampered. I like him but I don't love him.

:huh OOoookay.

I gotta agree with Redline. Noisemaze is one of my favorite TF's ever, he and Primus are the two gems of the line, by far, IMHO. Personally, I'm chomping at the bit to get the "Mass Production" Noisemaze with the DVD set that's coming out this summer.

I really don't see how you can say Noisemaze or Soundwave have hampered movement... apart from a lack of a waist they're extremely articulated, and there's nothing to restrict the movements of any of the limbs.
