I'm still mad that hasbro didn't have this and the deluxe figure. I'm also mad that hasbro didn't get the deluxe leadfoot. And I'm also mad that road buster (deluxe class) wasn't armored and that the human alliance leadfoot wasn't armored either.
@whiteknyte2001 not sure yet. the only information i was able to scoop was that it will be released at december 11 and will be sold at all retail stores.
Laserbeak turning into a gun for Soundwave almost feels like a Actionmaster Wingthing homage. I wonder if that was in the toy designer's mind at the time.
Transformers studio series is a very important part of our life that we are proud to be a part of our success in the world and the way you are to be a part of the success of the family of all of our family and family with the best of our children as well as your family members will enjoy the opportunity of having a wonderful family day with your children in a healthy and healthy lifestyle with your family
That transformation is a lot like Barricade's... Back section becomes legs, front section is the chest, the sides of the car are the arms...But I love HA Barricade so it bothers me not.
its a glorius figure! thns for doing this review, really....can i ask a cuestion? do you know when this is gona come out in america? i am from mexico, and HA don get here, but some selers do sell them little time after they come out on US.... thnks you!
@Cockonduty I just ordered HA Soundwave for 30, free shipping, which considering the prices going up for this guy, is wonderful. I, never was a fan of HA Bumblebee. The vehicle mode looks nice but the robot mode bugs me a little, he looks a little bulky and a cannon-only hand is a drawback for me. I don't know, maybe I just don't want a mini Shia LeBoeuf looking at me with dead, dead eyes.
Why can't I find any of these cool new human alliance figures in toys r us or walmart? All I can find is a dozen different repaints of fricken Bumblebee.
2:28 - I don't mean to nitpick on this, but you said that this was "Soundwave's Cannon Mode." Is that what it is called, or is it Laserbeak's Cannon Mode?
Why couldn't Michael Bay and the transformer designers have gone with Soundwave's original design which was a Terradyne Gurkha MPV. It's a military telecommunications vehilce and would fit his character more.
he's like the bulldog on Bugs Bunny,.. all upper torso,.. little tiny legs! lol . I think I'll grab the deluxe ,. it looks way better! great review though! :D
The color doesn't seem as bad as what we had originally seen. At least it doesn't seem as bad as Dotm deluxe Sideswipe's paintjob. I really wish they would've given him a translucent visor like they did with Jazz. The paintjob seems kind of cheap on the face. I don't really like the Laserbeak it comes with also. I'll probably be replacing it with the deluxe Laserbeak when I display them together.
He is out of stocks for my guess sold units are %99 and take a look at AliExpress that a site carries only awesome condition of KOs or officials by some people.
The movies were horrible and so few bought the movie toys. Now retail is afraid to sell transformers after these bad sales and we're getting some transformers prime figures delayed or japan release only. So sad. :(
it shame that takara/hasbro new transformers figure transformation has dwindling down to a no brainner overly simplified transformation. i miss the transformation of this kind of magnitude but thankfully most 3rd party transformers figure had this kind or more transformation magnitude
This figure is incredibly fiddly. The car mode looks great and the robot mode looks pretty good as well. The tripod feet are kinda odd. Overall Not a bad looking bot.
you've made the transformation look easy. awesome job, man. i can't believe that half the car is just his arms. can't wait to get one for myself. maybe just the hasbro version. this thing is too pricey for me
this makes me think of that Barricade toy from the Transformers 07 toy line with Frenzy and the punching arm gimmick (i do not know what size it is). the overall look of Soundwave makes me think of the 07 character, with the top heavy body, similar arm transformation, and head transformation.
