Surprised not to see any size comparisons with anything in this vid. Thankfully the stop motion done my mangmotion not only "animated" the transformation, but showed various size comparisons for multiple soundwaves (including the cassette with legends scaled SWs). All in just over 2 minutes.
Initially I didn't like the lack of detail in the sculpt. However, the more I looked at it, the more I started to love it. This truly looks like G1 Soundwave. Seeing comparisons between RP-01 and MP-13, I think it's a noticeable improvement. MP-13 holds up amazingly for it's age but, RP-01 is the one for me.
Shout out to a fellow Arizonan! At the time I could not justify swapping out my MP-13 for this, however, kind of regret it now. BUT, I will get the Soundblaster repaint and with The Chosen Prime! :D Can't wait for the other figures I have pre-ordered with you, more stores need to offer early payments on pre-orders.
I use the pay on your preorder option constantly! It works so well and helps with not having to come up with all the money in one shot when you least expect it nor have it. TCP is one of the best retailers we have!
Please bring him and Perceptor to TFCon here in Canada in December!! I always look forward to your showcase displays and helpful staff... along with that nice young lady who helps when making payments.
I'm not going to bug you but I'm super psyched for this to hit my stash! Going to be shipping a large stash when it hits :) Great showcase, thanks for doing it!
Laserbeak, ravage, rumble & buzzsaw sold seperate in 1 set.. Sadly there will be no ratbat.. 😭 I rather dont have buzzsaw coz same as laserbeak, but without ratbat there is no acceptable reason
I'm intrigued when I see those comments too lol. It's an obvious improvement over a lot of what was outdated about MP-13, at least aesthetics are concerned. Transformation looks more involved than MP-13, but working the proportions so it's not boxy and and more streamlined means it has to be different to achieve it. But it satisfied both the toon look and even threw in options for the toy look too.
In the Marvel Comics, Soundwave was purple. Frenzy & Rumble were the size as the average Autobot, not human-sized. Megatron had a black helmet. The Dinobots were much smaller. Either Shockwave or Megatron can defeat the Dinobots single-handedly. In the original animated series and 1986 movie, Rumble was always blue. If you don't believe in that, then RP01 is definitely not for you. Or repaint Soundwave, O.K.?
@@cadsux Depends on whether you watch the series in English or Japanese Rumble is red in the Japanese dub Regardless, who cares? The man can buy whatever he wants
Frenzy is blue/Rumble is red = G1 toy version. Later toys have flip floped the colors but Fibrir is slightly more common, like about 60%Fibrir/40% Firrib. Rumble is blue/Frenzy is red = G1 toon version.
When I see this I really hope FT or RoBOt PArAdiSE takes a stab @ Meg's. Sure we/everyone and their mama has a MP36 or a KO/Variant but IMO MP36 just doesn't look good,it's Fine but I can only imagine if FT released a Meg's.
Honestly, I wish Magic Square would just give the MP treatment to their Megatron like they did with Optimus. It was actually a pretty brilliant move on their parts to just upscale the figure and add some additional engineering and detail to account for it. With how clean Doomsday turned out for a legends scale figure, I'm sure it could easily be the definitive MP Megatron if they scaled it up and any 3p company looking to dethrone it would really have to up their game.
@@6x6Majin No lie, I love MP-36 but if Magic Square upscaled their Doomsday to MP size and tweaked it with detail and paint....I'd replace MP-36 with it.
This toy has a lot of options. And as Emgo would say... Options, are good.
Thank you for the video Brandon, finally something over 1 minute long with good details.
Soundwave is probably my favourite transformer of all time ,

Didn’t have sound wave as a kid always wanted one , will get this as soon as possible
Thank you for the preview, I appreciate you taking the time. They really went all out on this figure, I'm excited to get mine.
I can’t wait to do some good pics of this one!

Odd that a company dedicated to cartoon accuracy would declare that Rumble is red.
It's not Rumble
He was in the Japanese dub
And in vastly in every other media
I'm not going to bug you but I'm super psyched for this to hit my stash! Going to be shipping a large stash when it hits :)
Great showcase, thanks for doing it!
Mine is on the way, can't wait.
Finally👍👍👍
Awesome figure ofthe best G1 Transformers character imo. Love this. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for this! Could you do a 10 second video with a size comp?
Is the blue tape going to be named either Ribfir or Firrib? Because either of those would be HILARIOUS
Yeah! Awesome!!! Can't wait to get mine!!
Sweet can’t wait to receive mine!!!!!
Why no size comparisons?
So, they're packing Frenzy with him? Hopefully this opens up the spot for Buzzsaw in the cassette pack coming.
Frenzy was always planned on coming with the figure. I imagine they'll do a Soundblaster repaint with the rest of the tapes somewhere down the line.
FIBRIR- “Frenzy Is Blue, Rumble Is Red”
Brandon is the man! TCP is my go to!!
How many cassettes fit inside the chest?
I believe two cassettes max.
@@poloskier1967 Yes I finally saw that!
A question, is the blue painted or just bare plastic?
Any reason it wasn't transformed? Sure looks nice in robot mode but how bout showing it as a cassette deck
It's sold out, do you have extra? :(
Nice review and That's a nice piece of figure, not too bulky and not so "box looked". Better than Siege. Btw,What is the height scale of this?
I saw a comparison pic on IG and they had it side by side with MP-13...it's slighty taller than it, I would guess by maybe 1/4" or so.
obviously masterpiece scaled
why Robot Paradise and not fans toys?
No Laserbeak, Buzzsaw or Ravage??
It's sold separately
Laserbeak, ravage, rumble & buzzsaw sold seperate in 1 set.. Sadly there will be no ratbat.. 😭 I rather dont have buzzsaw coz same as laserbeak, but without ratbat there is no acceptable reason
@@oni2209 thanks, what’s the name of the set ?
I’d to buy it
Oh yeah Ratbat is my favorite!
@@sanderkoopmans1024 thanks!
Hell to the yeah
Nice!
Awesome review!!! TCP rules!!!!
Lol all these people saying he was not any better than MP-13 😂😂😂😂

I really dislike those silver elbow joints. Kind of stands out.
FIB-RIR = Frenzy is Blue + Rumble is Red..
No way Rumble is always been Blue..

Depends on whether you watch the series in English or Japanese
Rumble is red in the Japanese dub
Regardless, who cares? The man can buy whatever he wants
How does he compare to MP-13?
Can't w8 2 get him in hand awesome 📹🙏😁👍
Cool figure, but too expensive for me.
I have this preordered with you guys, just waiting on shipment. Today IS my birthday if that helps! lmfao ;-) Thanx for the qick look!!
the shoulder was hard for you because you were doing it wrong.
What is the correct way?
@@ChosenPrime watch @ 1:30 ...he shows the right way to do it. th-cam.com/video/K12VVy3diLc/w-d-xo.html
My copy will not move that freely unfortunately. It's much tighter than that one seems to be
Lets go Brandon 😂
No transformation??!??? 🤨
Fibrir🤔
Frenzy is blue/Rumble is red = G1 toy version.

Rumble is blue/Frenzy is red = G1 toon version.
@@iamtheomnimonkey I am staunchly RIBFIR but since this one looks more like the toy cassette, I an accepting it as FIRRIB lol.

Not impressed enough to replace a great figure for 300 bucks
I'm happy with the masterpiece.
Ft loves to come out late to copy others design
Let's go Brandon!
ACOUSTIC WAVE SUPERIOR, mp 13 inferior.
Let's go Brandon!❤
