Soundwave's always been one of my favorite G1 characters. To do him right, I started with an oversized G1 Soundwave (courtesy of kotoys.com)

Here is the list of modifications made to Soundwave:

- Plastic's been completely filled with epoxy to give him extra stability and weight.
- The articulated hands (all fingers move independently) are courtesy of Zildjian.
- The head was custom built using a variety of parts. (cast & available on ebay soon)
- The visor is clear red plastic and the head contains a red LED light, which runs to it's power supply and on/off switch in Soundwave's back.
- Soundwave's chest was also completely rebuilt and re-invented.
- Although "oversized" the chest was reconstructed to hold "regular" sized G1 cassettes.
- All details/mods were done w/ styrene.
- His waist also extends (telescope style) giving him another inch of height.
- His knees now bend back.
- His feet pivot to lay flat
- Decals were custom built and applied, most graphics are hand painted
- Embossed Decepticon symbol on chest is hand cut from styrene

This shot above with the "transformation" sequence is actually THREE Soundwaves ; WST (player), re-issue (mid-transformed), and oversized (robot)(as per the client's request)

 

It makes the original figure look like a hunk of shit. This is awesome.

 

That's totally cool.

Amazing, great job!

 

pretty nifty there mike!! I like it a lot!

 

This is awesome!

And inspiring.

 

Speechless...

Soundwave defintely superior...

 

looks great you beat me to it

 

I want 1!!!!!!!!!!!

 

He looks liek he stepped right out of the cartoon! Awesome.

 

i like this one, the extending waist is a nice touch

 

Makes me sad I will most likely never own one of this quality. As always very, very impressive and in the tops of all customizers for quality.

 

love it man. that's a winner

 

looks awesome,glad i worked on mine today

 

This is so simple, yet came out amazing. I'm actually shocked you haven't done this before with the quality of the work you usually put out and your user name.

Do Frenzy, Rumble, and Ravage actually transform though? I don't seem to see pics.

Great job.

top notch as always ! love this !!

 

Can we get a side by side with some other MP figures?

MP Cassettes next!

 

VERY cool! Has kind of a FrogDNA toon style to it.

 

Quite awesome! The head is spectacular, and the chest is perfectly 'toon accurate. The hips/waist bug me though...I think the thighs look too short and the waist looks too squared off, imo. Oh, and the extending waist is great, really gives him some better definition.

 

Out of all your projects, I think this is my favorite. Very nice job

 

IT's worth the wait! This is truly amazing!!! Well done!
