    The UPS guy dropped off Soundblaster a little while ago, and I must say its a great figure.

    Just a few Pros / Cons of the figure /Mold

    The Pros:

    For Size he seems to run the same to a little larger than the Prime Voyager figures.

    He has amazing light piping which totally screams SoundWave/Blaster

    He has articulation in the knees and hip with ratcheting joints and and 360 degree rotation.

    Aside from a few minor paint app issues the detailing is good.

    He can still turn into a cybertronian boombox

    Cons:

    The data disk figure is a complete pain. You have to make sure it is completely lined up or the eject, auto transform gimmick wont work

    The cavity in which the disk sits is very very snug and when putting the disk in, you feel like you are going to break it

    The disk feels very cheap, and my buzzsaw wont autoform when ejected.

    The "side claws" where the front wheels sit feels very cheep and feels like it would break easily.

    Soundblaster's hands keep finding their way back into their alt. position and are a pain to get out due to no tab to grab at.

    The shoulders, due to the shoulder pads have somewhat limited articulation

    Overall a good SOLID feeling figure

    Same here... I need to find a way to bore out the Data Disk storage a little without damaging Soundblaster.
