    Transformers Animated: Deluxe Soundwave Review


    Alt Mode:

    Soundwave appears this time as a van. Quite odd at first but looking at the detailing on this guy, it kinda works out with the whole cassette motif going on. He's even got the classic "play, rewind, forward" G1 button style graphic on his front fender. The windows and headlights are of semi transparent plastic as well. The rear part lacks any detail (sigh). Though it is pretty weird that he can mount a huge ass guitar on his roof....


    Bot Mode:

    He's got quite a weird transformation scheme but is easy enough to pull off minus the manual. He almost splits into 4 parts with the doors becoming arms and the rear splitting and inverting to become the legs and feet. Underneath the car Soundwave's f aux cassette door folds and snaps on to become his chest. He's got the proportions of a gorilla yet somehow it just works on the guy.

    Details: well this time around, instead of a visor he's got some funky 80's style shades. Behind his head he's got some boomin speakers and on his chest: the classic detailing G1 had w/c we all love.

    Of course he comes with a guitar. Nicely detailed complete with sculpted on strings and pick ups. Obviously modeled after the Flying-V as well. Its got two pegs on its surface which allow Soundwave to grab a hold on. (Note the depressions on Soundwave's car door kibble)

    Of course 'Wave can't do without his musical guitar bird Laserbeak. I'm just disappointed his eyes are unpainted.

    Beak's legs peg into Wave's arm. Pretty heavy though considering the joints on Soundwave are insanely loose hence he was a trouble to pose :-[ He's got approx around 15 pts of articulation though.

    Overall some minor glitches esp with the joints but still hella fun to fiddle with.


    Soundwave gets a 4/5
MaikeruSan:
    I hope the joints are good in the official release, awsome reveiw!
Nocturn:
    So sexy...
Armorhide:
    This is the guy I want the most out of the TF:A line other than megs, wrek-gar and shockwave. I'm glad to know that it will be a great addition to my coolection.
drill:
    I think he's the only animated figure I'm getting, as I somehow am able to resist the others (If Leader Megs was a voyager I'd get him).

    Looks Great.
transfan_seek:
    soundwave , the dinobots and prowl
    so far thats it for me
    its all i want



    maybe jazz
Feralstorm:
    Pretty cool. Soundwave's got what looks like graphic equalizer bars molded into the backside of his chest door.
Blurrz:
    That's pretty dece. Can't wait too pick it up!
Deceptigtar:
    hey firstpredacon, anyway to get some comparison shots with other animated figures???
firstpredacon:
    We'll try to post comparison shots..and we're coming up with one more review
Renidragon:
    Wow. He has a crazy amount of G1 nods, without being G1.

    Well, Animated is kinda full of that.
General Tekno:
    So, FirstPredacon, a question.

    Can you do a pic where you put Soundwave in a Kamina-style "pierce the heavens" pose from Gurren Lagann?
Nutcrusher:
    Sigh. Solid blue. If every thing I have came in solid blue...
Paradigm-Shift Prime:
    Not too shabby at all, I'm glad he's a deluxe, I think he works great like that.
Smasher:
    Soundwave is a Scion and Laserbeak is a stupid giant guitar.
    Shouldn't I hate this figure?

    Why do I think it is so awesome?
justamaze:
    Soundwave is my favorite of all the animated, Prowl is a close second. Don't get me started on collecting Animated next. Must sell some xtra stuff. Check it out on the ebay link.
Lucs:
    Nice. Thanks for the review. I think I have to get this guy. Damnit I'm trying to keep my TFA collection to a minimum
Abrogate:
    I'm gonna go ahead and be the negative guy and say I dont think he's better than any of the other animated guys. I mean, can his legs pose at all? Certainly doesnt look more fun than Prowl. I do LOVE the guitar gimmick, though.
Silent_Magnus:
    I think it's the color scheme that makes me like him so much.
    What's not awesome about blue on blue?
Velcrohead:
    Still not convinced. I love G1 references just as much as the next guy, but this just looks like a toddler's toy. For me Soundwave should look like he's going to jump off the shelf and kick my ass, but this guy is more like "awww, what a cute li'l Soundwave"... know what I mean?

    Until Universe hits retail, I guess I'll just be focusing on 25th Anniversary GI Joe.
Silent_Magnus:
    To me this SOundawve looks like he is going to jump off the shelf and play an awesome guitar solo. But that's just me.
Soundwave84:
    yeah this is a must have being that i love soundwave im def going to be collecting the entire series yeah nothing but love
transfan_seek:
    adding soundwave to the mix im going to be spending 200 buks on wave 3 alone
    well at least il have who i want
kajobaldisimo:
    soundwave, superior.

    wallet, eject.
sixshot2K:
    Sooooooooooo great!
Autovolt 127:
    I want this.

    Soundwave is superior.
Kimmer:
    it's still a definate must buy for me but i'm not as psyched about it as i once was. the more i see it the less a like it. that whole guitar on top of his alt mode is just horrible. either the guitar is way too big or soundwave is way too small.
Ktulu:
    Just looks like his legs end up in a weird posture and he's a little squat, but definitely one I look forward to
Railguard:
    He looks a little short, no?
