I thinking about getting this instead of Mista since he's affordable and robot mode looks "better" and some said he was more enjoyable to transform than Mista but now that I got Mista I find it to be just fine, not annoying at all. Might get CE as well just because(?) and wonder if his transformation is or not that much worse. Also some part of me always loved Soundwave's DOTM design but never got to even see a figure back then. Said "better" because I honestly think Mista has way better proportions but CE has more accurate "parts" if that makes sense
I know it is like this in the instruction but you can put the shoulderpads down so they don't rise in the air that much. I upgraded from "mista" to this one and yes the look is better, more detailed and more movie accurate but mista has the easier transformation, especialy the front wheels are a pain in the ass while transforming from robot to vehicle. Also the sideskirts dont fit exactly and are under pressure in vehicle mode.
I broke my mista soundwave into 2 parts. It still holds together pretty strong in robot and car mode, just not during transformation. I might get this one as a replacement. The transformation looks horrible but the things I hate about the mista transformation are not present which is a plus for me. Getting the arms on mista out and in was AWFUL and the legs barely stay together in robot mode
CE definitely looks more like it jumped out of the film might get this despite having NE mista

Oof, sorry to hear about the Mista breakage. 🙁
