TFW Fall of Cybertron Soundwave with Laserbeak Gallery

One more Transformers Fall of Cybertron toy gallery for you! This time we're spotlighting the Decepticon Communicator, Soundwave. There's not a lot to be said about Soundwave that has not already been said about Soundblaster, who is also out in the same assortment. He's a big, chunky toy - refreshingly reversing the trend of making the toys smaller / lighter, Soundwave feels a whole lot more solid than a few of the Prime Voyagers have done. Soundwave's built around his "deploy minions" gimmick, which is fun to do and works decently well.

What will ultimately be the make-or-break for many is that Soundwave is a built out of scale with the other War for Cybertron and Fall of Cybertron characters released so far - he needs to be for the Data Disk gimmick - although he is a very good size next to Classics Megatron, so there's always the possibility of having this be your Classics Soundwave. If you're a one deco only guy, you might well want to go for Soundblaster instead so you've got two different characters in your collection.

However you do it, I strongly recommend picking up one of the two, because he is a very good and solid toy, one of the best and most fun Voyagers to come along this year. Solidly recommended.

Is there a peg or something for Laserbeak to perch on his arm?

Can he Fit All of them into his chest?

... this is important.

I kinda only want him for his minions. I don't really care for Soundwave himself, since I have the deluxe who, IMO, is much better and obviously more in-scale.
But those minions.
Sooooo cool.

3 of the fit

Yes he most certainly can

when he has a casette in his chest his back and spine pop out the back of him. it looks awful. you can see it in this video review:

Eearrgghh...I didn't realize that.

Still I think I will get this as just a novelty piece later on, definitely not a priority. I was planning on maybe using him to be a Classics version, but he just towers to much over Classics Voyager Megatron. And he looks ridiculously out of place with the "Cybertronian" Decepticons. The original WFC version will still remain in place.
