Video Review Of War For Cybertron - Cybertronian Soundwave

"He's definitely one of the better ones... Meg, OP, SW, BB..."

3rd place out of 4 doesn't sound like one of the better ones to me!

Want this figure, but can someone tell me if these are in scale with each other?

Finally, a view on the 4th WFC figure. He`s not as bad as i had expected, though i do still wish they had done Starscream instead. Now i look forward to review him myself.

Unfortunately there not in scale as to how they appear within the game. still cool figures though

I must say he's very nice. Bought On Sight.

Cool figure-liking it more than before. Still something about it that will keep him out of my display though.

Posted this in the review thread earlier - nice looking figure, looks a lot better than Bumblebee.

He'll look very nice next to WfC Megatron. Perhaps the two together can bring down Optimus.

Great looking figure. Can't wait to get him and Megs.
A little sad they didn't include the WFC version of Laserbeak though. I mean.. he always comes with a Laserbeak (or Ravage).

Seeing this review has sealed my decision to get him. Got Prime & BB, both of which are excellent. I originally wasn't going to get BB; thought he looked like a ball with long, skinny limbs. But in person he's much better. Not really caring for Megs. though. Can't say I've ever found a Megatron in any series I really liked. Maybe I've gotta Megatron bias

Must buy for me.

Looks even better in video than in pictures! Definitely adding this guy to my collection. Even if he doesn't have his lackeys, I like the fact that they still managed to give him a chest that opens, and it's cool that the weapons store there.

I like the look, but he seems so tiny. Hard to tell if WFC Prime is taller. I have the original G1, last year's reissue, and the Animated version, so unless I see it on clearance, not sure I'll get it with so many other holes to fill in my collection. That being said, I do like it.

I'm just now noticing, the Soundwave figure is going off of the game's concept art, as opposed to the final version of Soundwave that we see in the game. Still a cool figure though, I'm definitely going to try for getting him and Megatron.

Very true yet at the same time, think about the size. That is not a very big chest cavity and any minions that would come out would be ridiculously tiny and likely poorly done. I'm happy with this fig as is I think...

I doubt even they could pull it off. That space can't be more than a half inch by an inchand a half inch deep...that abou 1/3 the size of your average jump drive. One can dream, yes, but reality is looking a little harsh in this case.

WST Soundwave had Ravage. Tiny and un-detailed true, but it is still better to have than not have. Titanium Soundwave had a tiny chest cavity and a Laserbeak, and in this instance Laserbeak was pretty detailed.

Point-being it can be done, and it is better to have the accessory than not.

Looks pretty good. All the WFC figures look good but i'm passing on this line. Stick to generations....if that even.

BB could be the exception though.....he's the best looking BB i've seen from any TF line.

The WFC figures are from the Generations line.

Another solid WFC figure IMO. I wonder if Cybertron SW's Lazerbeak would fit in this guys chest?

These four figures would be near perfect for me if they were in scale. Just give me Prime and Megs as voyagers. Bee as a small deluxe. That would have been awesome.

Haha what can i say.. lol I do like all four, and hope to see more in the future. Im just speaking in what if's with the scale. They kill me. I'd love to see Generations take over the number one priority to the HFTD line. Wishful thinking, I know

THe Generations figures do make me nostlagic and they are phenomenal, no doubt. Honestly though, the figures that are filling up the store shelves as peg-warmers, at least here locally, are the Op and BB figs. I think we'd all get tired of rehashed makeovers over time no matter how much we like the characters or how madeover they are. The TFs need their diversity. Half of the fun of this, really, is seeing what is coming next isn't it?

forget lazerbeak, can he do the "half-assed cybertron boom-box" mode from the game?

craggy wrote:forget lazerbeak, can he do the "half-assed cybertron boom-box" mode from the game?

He can indeed. Forget where I saw the picture, but it's a decent enough version of the in-game look.

awesome! I mi9ght have to get Prime now, so that SW and Megatron have someone to fight when they come out.

This guy looks awesome!!! Soundwave is for sure my favorite transformer, I love that his chest opens too, but too bad he doesn't come with like frenzy or rubble and what not....

Not sold on this release. I'd be all over a Henkei Soundblaster from this mould though.

When he hits shelves here I am so buying him. It's really neat that his chest cavity can open up too. A really nice looking mold all around

amcgrath929 wrote:Another solid WFC figure IMO. I wonder if Cybertron SW's Lazerbeak would fit in this guys chest?

Ditto.

Also maybe Hound's Ravage figure? or the original cassettes?

I kind of doubt though.

Little smaller than I hoped, but nonetheless says "Buy me; you know you want me" all around. I would have preferred at least some other weapon that was in the game, like Neutronic Repeater he used in several cutscenes. He is still a definite buy for me. Now I gotta make a shrink ray to get Bumblebee in the right scale....

Not surprising. Optimus Prime is the most common figure if you look at the packing ratio. I deleted my notes after I found everything I was hunting, but as I recall, if you total the first four waves of Generations figures, approximately 1 in every 3 Transformers is a WFC Optimus.

Wait, so this Soundwave figure is going to be a triplechanger?!?! Holy crap! This just adds to the awesomeness of the figure!

All I saw was his packaging, size comparisons, alt. mode and robot mode. No boombox-ish looking alt. mode in there. Either that or I'm just stupid.

should I offer my own opinion?

Can't wait!!! wonder if classics ravage could fit inside (probably not) otherwise awsome figure!!!

Well, looks OK, not entirely thrilled, but I'm still madly in love with this mold. Another dumb ass-ish question, but will this be listed in the instruction manual?


Just watch, they'll repaint/retool him into WFC Blaster. That's not a bad idea, actually....

I wonder if Cybertron Laserbeak would fit in his chest? Then again he may be to big because the Cybertron Soundwave is a voyager.

How did you convert Soundwave in that mode?

Although I could be mistaken, I own all four WFC figs as well as the game, and from what I see, Megs, OP, and SW are in scale. Bumblebee and the upcoming Cliffjumper are the only ones NOT in scale. In the game, Bee is only about two thirds the height of OP, and should be scout class to be in scale with the other deluxe WFC figures.

There are a few Youtube guides that show you how to transform SW into his boombox mode. Basically, you transform his arms the same way you would for his official armorer vehicle mode, but you transform his legs like you would for the Classics/ML toy. Just fold out the bumper "fangs" to act as stabilizers, and Bob's your uncle.

BTW, the boombox mode is an unofficial fan mode. It wasn't originally designed to be able to do that, but it just happens to. Kind of like how the GERWALK mode came about for the VF-1 Valkyries in Macross/RT.

IMO, even Soundwave's "accidental" boombox alt mode looks more complete and thought out than the first ROTF Fallen's bot-yoga alt mode. Wonder what that says about the latter...
