[@lordcrystallax5851]

Wow, Laserbeak has better articulation than Dexule Airachnid XD

[@latrodectusmactans7592]

This is my favorite Soundwave design and incarnation. I love the creepy thin design, the silent and inscrutable presence, the way he stays on the sidelines but you KNOW he could easily lead if he wasn’t so loyal to Megatron. Not that I dislike other versions of Soundwave, this one is just the best.

[@Arro3]

My favourite Soundwave, I always make sure he's on my shelf even when others get replaced. I even added some extra neon paint so he's extra glowy.

[@TaurusOxford]

...anyone suggesting Prime Soundwave is Plastic Addict worthy is a troll.

[@oliveragag8576]

Soundwave superior everyone else inferior

[@OneworldOnelove36]

I actually really like the Prime Soundwave character. I wish I had the figure, but I still think it looks cool.

[@iron1349]

I'm can't wrap my head around this guy being same as WFC soundwave.

[@matty9460]

This is easily one of my favourite iterations of soundwave

[@sambutler953]

Prime Soundwave, I would have to say, is my FAVORITE design for Soundwave. or ANY Decepticon for that matter. He's right up there with Animated Shockwave, Powercore Combiners Undertow, and -Dare I say it- Revenge of the Fallen Devastator.

[@KazuyaMithra]

I feel like if you combined prime soundwave design and g1 soundwave design you'd get Cybertron soundwave's design. i really liked how soundwave looked in Cybertron.

[@LanceTheAutobot]

Indeed the look was good but the way he acted and spoke .... Yeash i did not like that

[@KazuyaMithra]

+LanceTheAutobot Where's frank welker when you need him.

[@LanceTheAutobot]

KAZ amen

[@piecheese1214]

Cybertron Soundwave was the first Soundwave I knew, so I didn't know he spoke any different until I saw Animated. Needless to say, I now prefer his voice in G1 and Animated.

[@C0d3turtle]

I think this is one of the best prime molds. Definitely the most show accurate of wave 1

[@chimeraprime8837]

I'm from the middle school (Beast Era/Unicron Trilogy), and I really enjoyed this version of Soundwave (even having one on Cybertron, with a very interesting voice in the Japanese version). It's an embodiment of respect, and for those who are offended, just consider a parallel character (for example: in Armada we have an excellent Starscream, even though it's not the Starscream we're used to; the same for RID's Ultra Magnus: it's very different from the classic, and yet it steals the scene in its very peculiar way)

[@RKStrikerJK5]

Plastic Addict worthy? I... disagree with that. Hell, this is probably my favorite Prime toy of them all.

[@guyfireyboi1982]

What about the rid vehicon

[@RKStrikerJK5]

+Lance Robson Although I really like it, I still prefer Soundwave overall.

[@guyfireyboi1982]

+Jonathan Ellis ah yeah I see

[@joselinares9055]

I like that beast hunters soundwave includes ravage, but for those interested I think that third party company X2 Toys has 2 more drones that fit this version of Soundwave, although the colors do not match the figure (only downside)

[@jerryxu2850]

we are all a little hollow without laserbeak in our hearts

[@angrycanadian992]

The toy really does capture the character from the show pretty, I actually liked this version of Soundwave more than G1. Especially since the one line he has in the show with his own voices is a taunt toward the Autobots.

[@NotMyRealName6]

Your thoughts on the toy, Soundwave? Soundwave: ... Yeah, I think so too.

[@dragonranger8456]

I think it would have been cool if the Beast Hunters remold came with a Resonance Blaster accessory. Who agrees?

[@psychokitty444]

Funnily enough, those wing flares that sit just above his thumbs always greatly reminded me of the shape of the reasonance blaster.

[@OptimusPhillip]

The scene with Soundwave at the radio telescope place game me flashbacks to that scene from Spider-Man 2 that scared the shit out of my as a kid.

[@davefrost1724]

Actually TJOmega, there is one piece of landing gear on the left side of his right foot.

[@1cioda]

soundwave was (imo) one of the best characters in prime.

[@The_Wosh]

had it, loved it, Lost it. the story of many of my transformers

[@Scarachus]

Easily my favourite design out of all the Prime characters.

[@alecwesney2130]

I still say prime soundwave, as different as he was by the norm, was easily the coolest character in the show, he had the coolest moments all throughout

[@fishpop]

Soundwave is one of my favourite characters from TF:P.

[@BoCalilung]

I like your way of explaining Soundwave... its like you are in my head

[@TheKaptainFitzy]

I like these random style of reviews even though I don't know much about Transformers much, but these i think give newer viewers some insight into transformers and the many many many versions of them! Will you be doing any toy reviews on the upcoming Kamen Rider Ghost?

[@XthegreatwhyX]

It's one of the best figures in the Prime line, its price as a collectible has skyrocketed.

[@Fuzzball629]

Am I the only one who thinks his chest looks like a face?

[@legodude3000]

+Fuzzball629 Nope, I think that's the point. There's a mustache and teeth and everything. Kind of reminds me of the gunmen from Gurren Lagann

[@adimusprime8085]

no you are not.

[@lordscreamer2823]

Yeah, it's sort of like the Rumble from the later wave, which was probably intentional. It's a cool effect.

[@ToaKoran]

The toy isn't bad, I absolutely love the Soundwave design, and the toy matches it remarkably well. What I dislike is what the spring neck feature causes. The head doesn't have the range it would if they had just given him a ball/socket hinge instead of a spring loaded gimmick, always having to look straight forward. It's just annoying, especially since the one I got had a spring so strong in it that the head could not be posed without a bad amount of forward pressure damaging it with indents, and bending. Loved the toy in all other areas, excluding the slight kibble behind the lower legs, but that spring gimmick keeps this from being on the same level as first edition Starscream, he is just a "Prime" example of how amazing the line could get.

[@donaldshono5762]

I'm mostly a g1er and I love this Soundwave, and hope to see him in Legacy 2024 along with g1 Powerglide. 🤞

[@Slayerthecrow]

For me, Soundwave is always a great character, at least for me, In the original serie, in animated but in Prime he was like hands down the best character Not only creepy but he was also very badass, he beat Blackaracnia and WheelJack by his own

[@mechanwhal6590]

I'm loving the face (or lack thereof) - reminds me of Cybertron Sideways.

[@FPrimusUnicron]

i know people either hate or loce the beast hunters remold, but i like it way more than the PRID version, though obviously is not accurate,, which, this version is, kinda, it is a good mold, actually all the repaints and remolds of this are actually good one way or another, and if you count that there is a "beast machines botanica" on one of the timelines comics, based on the beats hunters(which is actually a bit bulkier in both modes because of the hunter idea remolding) yeah, this actually works as a female XD

[@Straswa]

Nice review, I have the Legion version of this figure and really like him.

[@Jimboliah3985]

He DOES have landing gear... The wheel is visible on the inside of Soundwave's right foot... MUCH more so on the Beast Hunters remold, since the wheel is black and the feet on that figure are cast in bright yellow plastic... :/

[@TheKing-qz9wd]

We should have a meeting of the Soundwaves. This one has a eerie feel, and the Cybertron one has a more majestic feeling. Get some more, and we can pull of some mission impossible stuff!

[@TheKing-qz9wd]

+The King um... I meant Cybertron Sideways.

[@MadDemon64]

Do you have Beast Wars Soundwave? Or heck, if we're going on Beast Wars characters who share names with G1 Transformers, Inferno? Megatron? Or anybot else who has a G1 name but is in Beast Wars?

[@MadDemon64]

***** He did? I forgot.

[@MadDemon64]

***** I saw it a while ago.

[@DarrenWatson64]

I really love this toy. So much that I also bought the Beast Hunters version.

[@jakedc1997]

yeah but the Beast Hunters version had those awful forearms

[@DarrenWatson64]

Jake C Yeah, I agree the forearms are ugly but at least I still like the color scheme of the Beast Hunters version and it also includes Ravage.

[@conflicthorizon]

One of the coolest transformers toys. This is also my favorite version of soundwave.

[@EmmanuelMarin07]

"The same name on a different guy". Hm, why not do more guys like that? :)

[@cromartini3484]

if i was to desing soundwave, i would split him in two decepticons named boombox and subwoofer witch would combine into soundwave.

[@bennewbury2572]

How about RID 2015 Steeljaw for Plastic Addict?

[@ezrawibowo8690]

have you review prime vehicon? the rid ones, not first edition. if you haven't i think that guy would fit to be random review material. that one has one of the cleanest transformation.

[@CassidyShadewing]

"Perfectly good Prime figure" - best backhanded compliment, imo :p

[@spinyjustspiny3289]

+Cassie Blackwood (Transgamergirl) Honestly, Prime's normal figures were amazingly well-engineered for the most part. They cheated a bit, but maintained show accuracy without being unplayable, Airachnid aside. First Edition Bulkhead still astounds me to this day simply because they turn a deluxe van into a voyager robot with the only price being he's a bit hollow.

[@joshuaglem1997]

Loved it Tj, I love this soundwave. I just picked up a collector owned full combiner wars Superion + Alpha Bravo and Quickslinger all together for 80 dollars, complete short of packaging, which I don't care about. I haven't been keeping up with combiner wars, Deadend is my first for around 20 dollars, which is insane, but how lucky did I get with Superion? I've seen other full sets for 130 on ebay, so maybe? The item description says Quickslinger is an online exclusive, but wiki says he's on the team normally, what's up with that?

[@guyfireyboi1982]

Quickslinger (slingshot) died in the comics in which hasbro follows

[@Godzillakingofkaiju1]

It actually took me a while to get used to this design (which I call Slenderwave) when TFP came around.

[@IAmJames_Art]

I was just messing around with this guy earlier today, lol

[@masterbison8957]

" The rest..........Is silence."

[@Youcannotfalter]

Love this figure.

[@allycliftonsucks]

Also has an ab crunch above the waist rotation

[@DLBot2016]

Energon Divebomb, Snow Cat, or Demolisher (The dump truck one)

[@darkshot2276]

wish I still had this. unfortunately I was a destructive and stupid kid.

[@flamekaizer8476]

My only problem with this guy was that he was a deluxe class which runes him when compared to my other figures since he's not in scale.

[@Leathurkatt]

Reaper Drone, not Predator. The tail fins give it away - Predator Drone, tail fins are angled down, Reaper Drone, tail fins angled upwards. :) I have both Deluxe class versions (Wave 1 and Beast Hunters) of him, and his "Mini Me" Legion class version. XD I also managed to track down the Takara version of him as well. Honestly, if I were going to ask you to review him, I'd say do a comparison between the three Deluxe class versions (Wave 1, Beast Hunters, and Takara). He is soooo not Plastic Addict worthy... He's a decent toy!

[@fullarmourtracksuit4023]

Why is the 'Random Review' subtitle on so many videos. Is it because they are spur of the moment and some are planned?

[@Hotjohnitron]

I would like to see you do Transformers Prime Beast Hunter Jetstorm.... Soundwave

[@darthdavlo9516]

It makes me sick how you misstransformed the legs, making the upper parts of the drone's head his ancles, and you said there's no landikg gear where the is one in his right foot. Still good review, keep it up!

[@danielrubino2228]

hey tj can I request a review? if so can you do the toys r us exclusive repaint of RID sideswipe?

[@DJPrimeAmvs]

Slenderwave

[@nucleonegro9762]

Hell yeah, this guy sure is a combination of slenderman and old soundwave

[@LanceTheAutobot]

Slender man infirior soundwave superior : )

[@DarkdustDragon]

I still think that drone looks more like Ratbat than Laserbeak, but I guess the latter is more iconic. Oh, and this is starting to annoy me: it's pronounced "di-gi-TI-grade", not just "di-gi-grade".

[@guyfireyboi1982]

I don't care how it's pronounced

[@ultimateprimus]

what will be the next plastic addict a list or a single and do you play cod or battlefield

[@ronisworld2916]

for me, its much better compared with the Deluxe version where Laserbick is kinda seperated.

[@mustafafirdousbaksh5286]

does that one random splash or purple paint on his left arm bother anyone else?

[@styx84]

+TJOmega Why do all I see is Den-O Gun Form in his head, lol

[@duskbringer4583]

We all know this : SOUNDWAVE SUPERIOR AUTOBOTS INFERIOR

[@RialVestro]

I never liked this design. Not simply because he's different. Like you I don't like the knees. I also don't like the thin proportions on him. It makes him look really fragile, as if he could easily break. Otherwise I don't really mind Soundwave at all. My biggest issue with him is not even about him, but about the fact that they named his drone Laserbeak. It looks more like a bat to me as such his name really should have been Ratbat. With his coloring and the sharp edges on his wings I always viewed him as Ratbat not Laserbeak.

[@LUNITICWILL]

do first wave optimus

[@br7hm0ment61]

You forgot to fold down the knee pad things......

[@cameronc.2553]

Hey TJ, I've been out of the Transformers loop for a while. Has anything good come out of the recent RiD line? By the way, are you a Metal Gear fan?

[@TJOmega]

+Sniper Joe A little bit, I like the deluxe Optimus and Jazz toys from that line a lot, but most aren't happy with RID's simplicity and low paint aps. The Combiner Wars line is getting the bulk of good toys right now. And yeah, I like Metal Gear.

[@cameronc.2553]

Thanks, I've been put off by how high prices have gotten but I'm trying to get back into TF's. I'll check those out along with Combiner Wars. I assume you're going to get The Phantom Pain? Less than a day left until release!

[@ItsYaTrashboi]

warrior Quillfire

[@ShadowWolfPrime]

Could you review Beastwars Soundwave next or in the near future please^_^

[@TJOmega]

+ShadowWolfPrime Not happening. The original is almost all gold plastic syndrome and I don't even own one to begin with.

[@ShadowWolfPrime]

Ok, thank you anyways.

[@joshuaglem1997]

Also, tj, just to be nice to one if my favorite reviewers, the same guy is selling motor master for 80$ as well. I don't remember if you have the der, but if you respond, I'll tell you the eBay name so others won't buy it before you..

[@joshuaglem1997]

have the Set*

[@willardjohnson7161]

The head kinda reminds me of cybertron sideways

[@jash4966]

I have this but without the left arm. :-(

[@derpman2280]

Hey TJ can you do Energon omega supreme plz?

[@MiXVoy]

LaserBeak's design, gave way to the most annoying hobbies, remote control drones

[@goni2493]

please do Cybertron Optimusprime.

[@doomslayerprime9749]

TF PRIME SOUNDWAVE the SLENDER MAN of the show. SlenderWave anyone

[@vergames384]

hey if plastic addict is lose material that means its working hasbro has steped up there game

[@imanowlexterminator]
