#TRANSFORMERS SOUNDWAVES DEATH UPDATE#

There is quite a bit of deco on this figure given its price point. I'm not complaining, especially since you can still swing the feet in and Soundwave stands just fine. This increases the height from roughly 7 inches to almost 8 inches (about 17.78cm to 20.32cm)! This surprised me given that this is a figure aimed at a lower cost market. The legs actually look just right in package until you swing out the robot feet which makes the legs longer. In a bit of an odd design quirk, Soundwave's upper body looks a tad out of proportion with his lower body. He also has circle details on his forearms which also suggest that he can send out sound waves from them! I really love these details as they riff off both the character's names and abilities. Most notable are the legs, which feature circular details on them that look like he has speakers integrated into his lower legs. This modern robot design adds on some fun details that allude to the "sound" part of his name.

Soundwave's cannon can mount on his right shoulder, similar to the way G1 Soundwave would use one of his weapons.The waist area features triangular designs and shapes in the middle suggesting buttons carried over from a cassette recorder mode.

The chest design fetures a "cassette compartment" (though it does not open on this figure).

The head sculpt is classic Soundwave including the two pronged crest in the middle and his mouth plate.

This figure follows that path, but it still incorporates a lot of classic elements to the robot mode.

However, as technology moved along in real life, transforming into a cassette recorder was almost quaint, and designers have attempted to update Soundwave a lot over the years, giving him new forms such as ground vehicles. He was heavily featured in the original show and his micro-recorder mode from G1 really emphasized the "Robots in Disguise" aspect of the 80's toy line. Soundwave is one of the most iconic Transformers characters from the G1 era. The packaging focuses on the contrast between white, blue and red so it really pops nicely on shelf (or peg). The card itself features "Evergreen" Soundwave art which is heavily based on his G1 appearance. I'm guessing it was mostly made out of cost considerations. Given that the figure is roughly the size of a Voyager Class it is an interesting choice. Like previous "Alpha" Authentics figures, Soundwave is packaged in robot mode on a large blister card.
