I like that he isn't a cassette player, I'm not too big on mass shifting. Though, I do think they could've done better with the alt mode, he just kinda crumples up into a "tank". Here's hoping another third party does something better, or that the studio series version coming in 2022 has something better.
At least they got something that actually *transformed* all of the body and looked like a believable alien vehicle, the Siege figure just kinda hid the head, hands and feet and pulled some fuckery with the rest of his body to get a "battle ship".
the mass shifting issue should be solved by making him a teletraan-1 style "cybertronian supercomputer" which would be perfectly sized for a rumble/frenzy minion.
@@fabianrocha9924 much like mechanical alliance did, I don't see your point. RyzZ said Hasbro would show us what soundwave 'actually transforms into' even though soundwave didn't transform in the movie therefore Hasbro's guess is as good as mechanical alliance's guess
@@dropkick2224 My man, I am not even a g1 fan and we know that bayverse soundwave is the worst, i am not saying g1 soundwave is the best, he's just superior.
I just recently got mine, and man is this a cool figure. I would have gotten the non transformable Soundwave but it was sold out. The transformation could definitely use some work, since he basically just compresses into a tank like shape. The robot mode is super cool though, and was also a bit disappointed with the elbows at first before realizing the arms tab out. Overall really liked it
Pretty incredible! The vehicle mode is fun, it doesn't have to resemble anything, but personally I see it as a huge troop transport, like a Cybertronian APC. Love it!
@Brian Babin That's not at all what I said, don't try and pin your one dimensional views on those of people who have imaginations. The fact that this company had to come up with an alt mode entirely by themselves is impressive. This figure didn't need to transform.
This Ravage is awesome, not just an after thought. And Soundwave is really nice with a clean form, instantly recognizable with awesome paint. I want this!
@A guy with an anime Profile Pic Because I can didnt he get a confirmed alt mode in the dvd? The bee vision thing, it said his cybertronian and earth mode? Or maybe it was the earth mode.
People are really out here acting like his alt-mode needs to be something that resembles an earth vehicle. I think it looks pretty stoic and alien-like-- like Thanos's giant cone-things that dispense his armies. No distinct area to sit or to "drive" or any semblance of what it is. It's just this moving rig that will kill you when it arrives. To me, that's badass and I absolutely love the "creative liberties", if you will. They did a great job on the alt mode :)
@Brian Babin Also, what's with this guy?, He seems to be determined to reply to each comment that likes the alt. mode in order to call them idiots, all of that over a figure actually having something they call an alt. mode that doesn't meet his standards.
@Brian Babin Why are you being such an ass to everybody in the comments? Calm down dude. Besides, does it really matter if the alt mode was compromised to have an amazing robot mode.
He's good but altmode is so bad......to be honest i recommend you checking out click brick's soundwave that transforms into a tank and cassette which is very good for it's size. Keep up the great work bud!!!
I wonder if the reason they still haven't released the other OS Constructions is that they are making their own molds that are more accurate yet still combinable.
Great review, i honestly don't like his design in the bumblebee movie, i prefer a lot is DOTM version, not big fan of the mix "movie / G1", I love both, but together, i think it's not amazing, the figure itself is really well done and even the alt mode is not an aberration, it's juste OK but not horrible i think. Awesome review
personally i feel the most perfect soundwave alt mode should be like that in the modern robots in disguise cartoon (not the drone……that military vehicle)
@Brian Babin bro let other people have opinions lol, if you get so angry at this, don’t transform it. It sounds like your attacking people for their opinions lol
@Brian Babin Yes this ain't the greatest alternate mode for a Soundwave figure but since they didn't have anything really to work with they did a decent job
@Brian Babin epic opinion, I don’t mind the alt mode, I think it’s better than nothing. if you sounded like a sensible human being instead of “I hAtE tHe AlT mOdE iT tOoK nO eFfOrT yOu SuCk If YoU lIkE iT,” people might give you a bit more respect bro
It wouldn't make any sense for a cassette mode on cybertron...This mode is fine , I just wish it was a little cleaner . It looks like a vehicle that would manipulate sound in some manner , or a communications vehicle. Pretty cool !
just replace the G1 tape deck mode buttons with a full keyboard, pop it up, and you have the perfect "cybertronian supercomputer" alt-mode with G1 aesthetics and scaling for use by minions like rumble and frenzy. did this(minus the button replacement) on Netflix soundwave and it works really well, even kinda resembles the style of teletraan-1.
I hope Mechanical Alliance does similar figures for all the Cybertronian scene characters... those Shockwave, Arcee. Ironhide, Brawn, Ratchet, Prowl...
The one thing that bugged me about the Threezero figure was the forearms/hands proportions. I thought that the hands were too small and seeing it side by side next to the Mechanical Alliance one - it definitely looks much better on SX-02. I dunno if that's screen accurate or not, but I'd have preferred it to be that.
Does Tryace plan to release a version of Soundwave? How does this one scale compared to Tryace Toys Optimus? As for his transformation, it doesn't make much sense for Soundwave to be a cassette player anymore. Cassettes, VHS tapes, CD's... are all a thing of the past. Wood love to see him in the next movie become something digital.
the transformation is just there to get the “WhAt’S tHe PoInT oF a TrAnSfOrMeR iF iT dOeSn’T tRaNsFoRm” brigade onboard. He never transformed in the movie so they pulled a siege soundwave and gave him an effortless alt mode for the transformers namesake.
That conceptualized alt mode is really something compared to others. It seems you'll just have to pick your poison, the Studio Series pancake or the Mechanical Alliance brick. In any case, still an impressive Soundwave.
When I was a kid, it always bothered me that Soundwave and Megatron doesn't follow the Law of Conservation of Mass. I didn't have any idea or concept of that scientific principle back then, it is just that it seemed weird to me that they got smaller as they transformed. I think moving away from his original cassette player transformation is a good thing although I hope they think of another type of transformation since it look's somewhat similar to Megatron's modern transformation mode.
There is space between electrons and the nucleus. I reckon one sci fi answer for why mass shifting can happen is that the space for that electron's orbit can be reduced so that atoms are more closely grouped together. Their atomic cloud space would shrink. Another solution is the ability to transfer matter into data banks to be store through other forms of energy, similar to how transporters work on star trek. A certain amount of mass is transfered during transformation to make huge changes in size. Combining the 2 theories, you got a lot of room to play with regarding "mass shifting"
not a complaint or anything but it would be nice if you put your videos in chapters so people could skip to sections they want to see in particular or if they wanted to skip the articulation segment or the transformation segment.
Great details (sculpt & paint).. Looks liked it jumped out of the silver screen... Alt mode is Ok, I'm not expecting it to be "earthly" looking since we only saw Soundwave in Cybertron.. Shame it can't hold the gun properly (love the light gimmick though)..
I think a "cybertronian supercomputer" would suit him fine. works with the "tape deck" aesthetics, it resembles the teletraan-1 style computer, and without mass shifting it's perfectly scaled to be operated by little guys like rumble and frenzy. I tested it with netflix Soundwave, tilted his button flap up(grey flaps as supports) and set his minions in front of it. ravage, rumble, and frenzy could all comfortably reach the controls.
He looks amazing! Not a fan of him being taller than prime since he turns into a car in the bayverse and he is a satalite so and then you come to the personality of soundwave which he's not the kind to have a tank almode I feel like a Cyberaine car or space ship would have been better I am Impressed with him and the light up feature is nice although it should be red and the particular effect should have been rounded and red

He's probably going to turn into a half assed cassette deck or some ugly brick like this one.
@@quickscopethepope1471 he never transformed in the Netflix series either
At least everything seems to fit together nice and compactly in the alt mode.
His alt mode should've been a cybertronian Mercedes-Benz car. Better alt

Hahahaha ⭐🤣🤣🤣🤣
Awesome review Prime vs Prime!!!!!
He can transform into a lamp post by tucking his head and hands and put him in a t-pose.

I'VE BEEN WAITING SINCE THE PAST HOUR!! FINALLY ❣️
Sound wave is a sold figure! I like his all terrain vehicle! Very nice!!!👍👍😎
Best of last episodes of a series
I love how alien his alt mode looks. I’m actually a huge fan of it!

His transformation and vehicle mode give me a 'Transformers Animated' and 'War For Cybertron' vibe.
I LOVE BOTH MODE. VEHICLE MODE IS DIFFERENT TOTALLY ALIEN. LOVE THIS
I believe we also had an Energon Igniter's Soundwave from the original Bumblebee movie toyline from 2018.
He's just the 3-zero figure that "tries" to transform.
I love your videos! You always give me a good opinion about figures. Keep up the amazing work!
And Ravage looks very good!!
Soundwave looks epic
I Really hope studio series makes one too.
so much better than the original 😱😱😱
well done as usual bro 👍🏻😀
Great review on a cool figure! I love his weathering achieved with the silver paint, he looks awesome!
I definitely prefer the three zero version but I am very happy to see more figures of this awesome design!
The weathering is awesome

Need to wait for the official release of soundwave’s alt mode…. But boy this design is gorgeous
100%!
I might just go for the Threezero one instead since it overall looks better. That alt mode isn't really convincing me anyway lol
The ThreeZero is stunning!
A true live action soundwave goddamn that robot mode is a hint of g1 and live-action🤩
Rotf was already very cool tho
War machine ur an idiot for saying that
Soundwave as a servalence truck is a good upgrade to his tape recorder altmode
Just like a large shoulder Cannon would be a great upgrade for Megatron
I’ve seen that figure while shopping around und AliExpress but without any pictures of an alt mode so I thought it might be a ko of the ThreeZero one
Teeny tiny little correction, but the gun has been dry brushed, not washed with silver paint. It actually looks like it was sloppily applied as well 🤔

Love the look of this guy. I’d love to have him in my collection but by the trident of Neptune do these third parties like to break on me 🤦🏼♂️
That vehicle mode reminds me of Angry Birds Transformers Soundwave
He really cleans up in robot mode
Definitely!
Would have like to see him transformer into the war for cybertron game mode
Considering no one is ever going to display it in alt mode the alt mode is fine.
Why didn't they put me in the movie? I would have looked badass.
If soundwave shows up in new movies he should be a news van
Hahaha loool! I’m hoping for more of a spy drone
I like to think he looks like his TF Animated alt mode or his RID mode
I wish they added more of a battle damaged armour look. He looks way too clean compared to the movie...

You can also transform this version in to the boombox.

I like the alt mode
Does he have an actual working eject button?
Soundwave should have had a mouth under the mask, marvel comic lips and all
Also, that alt mode looks like the H.I.S.S soundwave from earth wars
They should really make a cybertronian blitzwing
I like him but when did Ravage become a dog ?
