Cliff all the Cybertronian alt modes are weird. But it’s an alien alt mode and not an earth alt mode. Hasbro Just took advantage of the fact that they can basically do whatever they wanted with it.
I like to think of it as a satellite, a la ROTF. The tape deck mode will always be a classic, but like Megatron being a gun, he needs an actual vehicle mode. Drop ship is cool too, but what's stopping him from being a dropship/satellite hybrid? This is the Prime influence talking, where he's way more than capable of being a physical threat, but he's a spy first and foremost.
Perhaps the only time I actually NEED a figure or else I will die. Lamp post alt mode as an homage to G1 is brilliant. Who the freak would suspect that a random lamp post might be actually spying on you. Love this figure.
Also, the fact that you put a figure like Siege Megatron as your fourth favorite of the four Voyager class figures speaks volumes about how well this subline is being executed overall.
When Soundwave was a lad he ate four dozen eggs every morning to help him get large. But now that he's grown, he eats five dozen eggs. So he's roughly the size of a barge.
ive had laserbeak and soundwave for like a month now ive never noticed the foot pegs on soundwaves arm until this video haha ive just been using the peg on laserbeak
saw this on another vid, but a nice touch is left arm has enough hand articulaton that he can extend a finger out, and then can press his own tape deck button. a really neat little extra for the figure
I love how his left fist has the finger sticking out. allowing us to pose his arm raised up and look like he is pressing his eject button himself to release the tapes.
HEY BALTMATRIX....That grey laser gun that Soundwave has is Megatron's back shoulder gun. :D Just plug it on the back side of Megatron's shoulder and he has a profile closer to the G1 cartoon. ;D
I can picture the alt-mode moving fairly slowly above a battlefield laying down a heavy barrage upon the hapless autobots before transforming into robot mode and crushing all who remain
Hmm, on Casseticon shielding, I believe this quote to be appropriate. "We are ablative armor! Our life is boring, then briefly exciting, then over! We are ablative armor! Our life is boring, then briefly exciting, then over!" It does feel like a bit of a waste to give them a weapon mode and have it just be a handle on a cassette; give an actual weapon or armor mode to them and pulling all the Casseticons would essentially give you something between Weaponizers like Cog and 'super modes' like we see with Armade Megatron and Tidal Wave or, well, almost every Optimus Prime for Soundwave. Of course, they are up against some pretty severe restrictions regarding what they can fit into a cassette...
I hope they release his other cassettes.because c'mon rumble was one of my favourites of the cassettes also a repainted laserbeak for buzzsaw or release a ratbat Edit:Also when is Soundwave supposed to be released?
Yeah, I found Soundwave at my local Walmart today, along with Sixgun, Megatron, Ironhide, and Cog. So it depends on where and when your stores get the figures. Also, has anyone found the Decepticon Spy Patrol yet at any of their local stores yet? Because I got Soundwave today and without Ravage and Laserbeak, he feels kind of incomplete, just let me know. Thanks
@@aaronf4463 huh I just looked it up and it says that Soundwave is part of the wave 4 and won't be out until May 26th and his cassettes are part of wave three so I guess I will have to either look around or wait untill then.Unless Canada has different release dates than the U.S
i always like to think the gun this figure coms with is actually Megatron's Gun Mode, after all outside of Starscream, Soundwave was the one to use Megatron in Gun mode the Most
Aidan Harris but this figure is in a line called war for Cybertron which is a line of figures that are on Cybertron so the figures are in Cybertronian modes a suv is a type of earth vehicle
His alt mode looks like some sort of troop transport/landing craft/APC. Makes sort of sense considering he's mostly a commander and not a frontline unit.
Being a deployment ship he should be tough and have some heavy guns for clearing the "drop zone". I would call him a "Drop ship", can't wait for a Rumble and Frenzy (fingers crossed) Ratbat and Buzzsaw would be nice too.
Idk if it was just mine but for the concussion blaster when it merged into the staff sort of thing the grey gun was to small to hold the concussion blaster to it so it just fell off each time I also had a Bent peice on the leg that why you flipped out the bottom panels it would be bent upward on one side but it didn’t realy matter cause I just love how much it looks like the original g1 figure
Also, that is supposed to be cybertron mode lazerbeak, from the pilot. cuz. ya know. for whatever reason the animal mode is changed but not the giant cassette alt mode
I wonder what the Earth rise Soundwave is gonna transform into? I think we are getting one because I think I remember images leaked around the same time as the Cone Heads images where leaked.
Well ive got Starscream and Soundwave preordered and will enjoy both immensely. my goal is to collect the entire line because Siege is too good to skip!
Ravage and Laserbeak just look like rectangles to me and not cassettes. I kinda hope he's repainted into the Bumblebee Movie Soundwave with a darker blue and gun metal grey and also red visor.
Okay Balt, for your information 1. Lazerbeak had a visor during the first episode of transformers g1, which the beginning took part on Cybertron. And 2 I think Lazerbeak's visor looks pretty cool.
The Visor is from the cybertron version of lazerbeak from episode 1 which makes sense since the war is on cybertron
I have been scarred for life after seeing soundwave do the DAB.
Same
i can't believe soundwave is superior so he now has to dab on those autobots :/
Gotta dab on dem haters
After seeing that I am wondering if soundwave really is superior...
Wow I'm still scarred a year later
Balt the last like 3 vids: Very serious review
Balt here: The ultimate dab
The “shield” peg on Laserbeak can also be used to peg him into Soundwave’s forearm in bird mode.
Me: I WANT THE TRUTH
Hasbro: *Y O U C A N T H A N D L E T H E T R U T H*
A few good men
I like his space ship mode is different and looks cool can't wait for mine to along with starscream
Soundwave's alt mode seems more like a dropship for Laserbeak and Ravage than a barge
It sure is a weird ass lookin dropship
Cliff all the Cybertronian alt modes are weird. But it’s an alien alt mode and not an earth alt mode.
Hasbro Just took advantage of the fact that they can basically do whatever they wanted with it.
I've never thought of it as a dropship for his cassettes but than makes me like him more.
I like to think of it as a satellite, a la ROTF. The tape deck mode will always be a classic, but like Megatron being a gun, he needs an actual vehicle mode. Drop ship is cool too, but what's stopping him from being a dropship/satellite hybrid? This is the Prime influence talking, where he's way more than capable of being a physical threat, but he's a spy first and foremost.
I imagine Soundwave's alt mode to be a cargo ship, myself [you know, for transporting Energon cubes]. I just need to find Laserbeak and Ravage.
Robert M. Me too. I have Soundwave but not his pets and I won't sleep well until I do.
Perhaps the only time I actually NEED a figure or else I will die. Lamp post alt mode as an homage to G1 is brilliant. Who the freak would suspect that a random lamp post might be actually spying on you. Love this figure.
I bought 3 of these I just can't get enough of this figure. One of the best Soundwaves ever.
Also, the fact that you put a figure like Siege Megatron as your fourth favorite of the four Voyager class figures speaks volumes about how well this subline is being executed overall.
When Soundwave was a lad he ate four dozen eggs every morning to help him get large. But now that he's grown, he eats five dozen eggs. So he's roughly the size of a barge.
i always find weird when they have this massive transformation into something that is not really anything
Love your video and love your channel
Soundwave is my favourite transformer EVERRRR 😍
Same XD
Sound wave will always look good whether it be G1 or transformers prime
Him as a spy drone with laser beak mini drone
damn ravage had too much cat treats
love the captions in hindsight, its alot of fun. recording and then putting in amendments I think is a fun way to spice your vids :D
Love you Balt , keep up the amazing vids!!
Ware for Cybertron sounds like a thrift shop.
A jrpg type shop run by Swindle,half off all used plasma rifles.
Cannon Blasters 10000 credits

the G1 lamppost mode is him doing an awkward T-pose.
What were you saying before the video ended??
Guess we'll never know.
@@TFanPage101 I think it was an editing error
The Video ended sort of abruptly . Soundwave looks good though. Thumbs up.
I bought him, Screamer, and the wave 2 micromasters
ive had laserbeak and soundwave for like a month now ive never noticed the foot pegs on soundwaves arm until this video haha ive just been using the peg on laserbeak

You can also plug the folding gun, unfolded, on his back with the larger end up and it looks like a coms antenna from an old communications backpack.
There is a secret mode you’re able to turn him into radio mode
I love how his left fist has the finger sticking out. allowing us to pose his arm raised up and look like he is pressing his eject button himself to release the tapes.
HEY BALTMATRIX....That grey laser gun that Soundwave has is Megatron's back shoulder gun. :D Just plug it on the back side of Megatron's shoulder and he has a profile closer to the G1 cartoon. ;D
I love you.
@@adammccown O...K...A....Y....happy to help out. When I get Soundwave, I am giving Megatron that grey laser gun. :)
@@TFfangeek I like your profile picture, how about mine?
@@christianparrish6647 Your's looks fantastic. :D
@@TFfangeek thanks. Mind subscribing me? I love transformers. Bon weep granna weep ninny bon.
A good way of saying about getting a transformers Siege War for Cybertron Soundwave and a very good review two 👍👍up
would the lamppost mode be easter egg-y still if it were advertised in the instructions?
I love this toy and I want it.
I will since it’s very cheap.
🙂🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃😏🤗😺
Balt your video just kind of ends there might have been an issue with the upload.
Preordered Soundblaster since I've yet to see Soundwave in store. I saw Starscream for the first time last week.
If you’re not happy with the cracked chest, you could hand wave it as “he doesn’t want to repair it”, for whatever reason.
Baltmatrix: *THE ULTIMATE DAB*
I can picture the alt-mode moving fairly slowly above a battlefield laying down a heavy barrage upon the hapless autobots before transforming into robot mode and crushing all who remain
9:06 oh the horror!
It looks like he’s pulling off den-o’s sword form pose.
Put the handle of either gun into the hole of the gray gun to make a hammer.

Lol Lazerbeak is just like how he was in the first G1 episode. And this toy line takes place on cybertron so it just makes sense.
I maintain his alt mode is an APC. A deployer ship that can take a bit of punishment, and drop a few soldiers when and where needed.
dude, this is cool!
I just got Soundwave and it is awesome.
I hope they release his other cassettes.because c'mon rumble was one of my favourites of the cassettes also a repainted laserbeak for buzzsaw or release a ratbat
Edit:Also when is Soundwave supposed to be released?

Rumble and ratbat are coming soon. I'm assuming Frenzy and Buzzsaw are coming after them
I used to put my Titans return soundwave in lamp post mode and it looked good
i always like to think the gun this figure coms with is actually Megatron's Gun Mode, after all outside of Starscream, Soundwave was the one to use Megatron in Gun mode the Most
Still kinda wish they made his alt mode a truck
yeetus the fetus I prefer an Armored car.
Aidan Harris that's actually not that bad.
Aidan Harris yep. ooh or better yet...an eight wheeled APC!
Aidan Harris but this figure is in a line called war for Cybertron which is a line of figures that are on Cybertron so the figures are in Cybertronian modes a suv is a type of earth vehicle
@Aidan Harris swindle was the animated S.U.V., not soundwave
Make this purple and fold his arms down in altmode and you practicly have Shockwave...with cassete function.
His alt mode looks like some sort of troop transport/landing craft/APC. Makes sort of sense considering he's mostly a commander and not a frontline unit.
Armoring him up reminds me of animated soundwave with his FINAL FORM
Cool stuff I love the original g1 version
Being a deployment ship he should be tough and have some heavy guns for clearing the "drop zone". I would call him a "Drop ship", can't wait for a Rumble and Frenzy (fingers crossed) Ratbat and Buzzsaw would be nice too.
The ship mode does look like something out of Star Wars. Like some sort of cargo/troop transport ship.
That moment you realize they turned Soundwave into the Hunter-Killer aerial drone from THE TERMINATOR...
Am I the only one who noticed that the title said ware for cybertron
I noticed it too
Soundwave: *turns into lamppost*
also Soundwave: "THIS IS WHY I AM SUPERIOR!"
Idk if it was just mine but for the concussion blaster when it merged into the staff sort of thing the grey gun was to small to hold the concussion blaster to it so it just fell off each time I also had a Bent peice on the leg that why you flipped out the bottom panels it would be bent upward on one side but it didn’t realy matter cause I just love how much it looks like the original g1 figure
No cassette player mode?
laser beak will fit, and it will pop out if you push the button firm and quick
Why does the vid end weirdly?
The tiny grey gun is the gun barrel on Megatron’s back
What the hell was that at the end
Also, that is supposed to be cybertron mode lazerbeak, from the pilot. cuz. ya know. for whatever reason the animal mode is changed but not the giant cassette alt mode
That problem isnt just on your figure. I have it too.
Not sure if you noticed, but the review audio cuts out in the last five seconds!
Yeah....soundwave.....hit that funky music
Chromia killed the end of the review, LOL! :D Also 'Ware' For Cybertron? Bit of a spelling error on the title there. ;)
balt:hey, today im gonna review soundwave from "WARE" for cybertron
I wonder what the Earth rise Soundwave is gonna transform into? I think we are getting one because I think I remember images leaked around the same time as the Cone Heads images where leaked.
I haven't watch your videos so much I couldn't remember your name
Well ive got Starscream and Soundwave preordered and will enjoy both immensely. my goal is to collect the entire line because Siege is too good to skip!
I wonder if we are going to get the rest of the casetes.
0:08 when you speak while coughing 😅😂
Ravage and Laserbeak just look like rectangles to me and not cassettes. I kinda hope he's repainted into the Bumblebee Movie Soundwave with a darker blue and gun metal grey and also red visor.
A clear picture of the lamp post mode is on the bottom flaps of the box
Soundwave Impo has probably the weirdest venicle mode, which I ever seen. It's even more weird then Shockwave's flying-pistol thing mode, yeah...
Bless you goodsir 😁 lol
He's in stock everywhere.
no thanks, i will stick to my Ravage, that came with Hound
at least he has a tail !
so much detail!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
When do we get Beastbox and Squaktalk though?
When Soundwave gets a Soundblaster repaint.
Tornait that would actually make me pick this up
I never thought of that
Okay Balt, for your information 1. Lazerbeak had a visor during the first episode of transformers g1, which the beginning took part on Cybertron. And 2 I think Lazerbeak's visor looks pretty cool.
I didnt get any of those two figures just soundwave is there two different ones to buy?
I’ve ordered both Starscream and Soundwave simultaneously.
Where can I buy an Optimus Prime which belongs to SEIGE series?
You may have laserbeak and ravage upside down in cassette mode, mine opens fine
That space craft alt mode needs a lot of help.
no the lamp mode came from shockwave, not soundwave. unless they both had it?
My figure has the same problem with the right shoulder.
Nice review, Balt. I hope there’s a way to fix the problem on the right shoulder.
What happen with end? It just went mute and finished up early.
Will we be getting a jazz that does not suck lile the POTP jazz??
Why does the sound cut off at the last 5 seconds?
I hope they make a rumble and frenzy or a soundblaster
chromia was so mad about being dissed she cut out the last few seconds of audio
You must’ve had them upside down because I did it how you did it it was the same then I put them the other way and it worked
Huzzah! Coppa hasn’t found this one!
