If you rewatch the Africa scene, when Soundwave speaks his speakers move as he talks

[@kaijukingofthemonsters1075]

Gotta hand it to micheal bay he knows when to use detail

[@doomjoltfromflordia4069]

Huh I didn’t know that

[@kylesinkovich8332]

His eye on detail is great but personally I'd like a more G1 ish robot mode instead, the speakers could probably stay, but the now visor thing bothered me a little

[@eli37307]

True

[@flyingdorito5035]

Maybe they forgot to add autotune

[@morbius1273]

They could have painted the speakers on his arms and laserbeak

[@samlarson4098]

Chris Eccles and could give us his blasters

[@theboss222r3]

Actually this Soundwave was really short compared to Megatron and Starscream. I re-watched a clip of the Africa scene in Dark of the Moon, and his SS toy is pretty much dead-on with his on-screen height. Don't forget Soundwave is a Mercedes Benz SLS AMG, while Megatron is a Mack Titan with a trailer. If he was only the tractor unit, he might be a bit shorter, but since he has the trailer, that gives him more height. Plus Megatron doesn't walk with as much of a bend in his legs like he did in Revenge of the Fallen. Also Soundwave has no visor in Dark of the Moon. He only has one in Revenge of the Fallen like you kind of stated latter.

[@ACRocker]

You got a point

[@_V.Va_]

Some good catches there.

[@revampedrenegotiate]

Yeah, soundwave is the height of bumblebee in the movie.

[@yerriff8115]

Megatron was a Granite, not a Titan

not a deal breaker for me, I'll just give him tlk barricades pistol

[@connore08]

True he should have came with the gun he was going to kill bee with

[@kobeskreations6932]

For the height comparison between Soundwave and Megs, I always bend Megatron’s legs to make him almost as short as possible. It puts him at around the same size as the other voyager Megatron figures and helps him scale better with other figures. Love your reviews by the way. Have a great day man.

[@jonahcorona1178]

Megatron has standard anthropomorphic legs until they put constructicon parts on him and then he has chicken legs until resurrection so he should have the chicken legs as dotm megs but considering he’s being repaired he’s possibly cannibalized parts for himself and possibly added more height I like the idea that megatron consumes other parts and mutates into a new creation

[@kairiley8520]

He is chicken legged yes he is actually supposed to be for the scale to work

[@jonahcorona1178]

Kai Riley geewhiners and also oddly some movie fans are like allergic to chicken legs I don’t get it 😂

[@kairiley8520]

@@jonahcorona1178 what is even more hilarious is the fact they don't like the realistic movie designs

[@Quantum_Magnus]

I love the awkward silence that happens when one of his pieces pops off. 👏🏻

[@mattimusprimal637]

@1:23 Soundwave in the DotM film never had a visor. (His eyes were completely visible) I think the original Deluxe Class DotM Soundwave & Human Alliance Soundwave had visors to resemble more of a G1 look.

[@stevewhite4080]

He had a visor on for split seconds in a few scenes. One was in the background fighting Bee before dieing.

[@reeda.2341]

Wish he had that through the entire movie, the visored look is what makes soundwave look like soundwave

[@aydengavris]

Soundwave is my favorite transformer, so I’m trying to get a Soundwave collection. I have Masterpiece G1 Soundawave, RID deluxe Soundwave, and Transformers Animated deluxe Soundwave. This studio series figure will be an excellent addition to my collection.

[@vickerandflips8061]

I remember the Animated Deluxe Soundwave. That was a great figure

[@12_oz._man]

You mean a fine addition to your collection?

[@Gio_my_hero]

His Mercedes sls amg mode is just beautiful

[@connore08]

mac n cheese it’s my dream car

[@patricktsai2303]

[@That1mandalorian]

I’ll forever love the g1 soundwave design And bumblebee soundwave is 2nd but this is definitely 3rd he’s such a nice figure

[@arthurweichel5460]

His height to megs is right. Soundwave was 16 feet (4.9m) Megs was 35 feet (10.6m)

[@miguelvargas1487]

Soundwave got a satellite version coming on SS-65!!!

[@cybersilver5816]

Really nice. It's figures like this that make me want to start my own review channel.

[@PrimeVsPrime]

Go for it dude :)

[@MrFedoraFilm]

TF: Studio Series DOTM Soundwave looks very cool. And it's neat that he has his little assassin Laserbeak as well. Thought, I do wish that he and his pet bird would have some more colors, like their original DOTM figures. But what lacks in colors, is made up for with the improved sculpted details, they're more screen acurate and more improved upon from his original DOTM figures. I too, believe that Soundwave should be a bit taller then he is now, so maybe a ROTF Studio Series figure of him might fit that. -Also if the Studio Series toyline does release him again as Soundblaster, then I hope he has his silver/black/yellow colors(just like the TF: Siege toy) and come with his two blaster weapons.

[@BatteryDiet]

This is why soundwave should always be a voyager class

[@Superior_Productions]

He looks excellent, wish there was a little paint on lazerbeak, but that's a minor complaint, cant wait to pick him up

[@khylesamuelkimmelanio688]

I love this Soundwave design, it looks good, the car looks great, the transformation doesn't look hard, and anything else that is good on the figure. One problem is his size inaccuration. But still definitely looking forward on buying this figure.

[@cyclonusprimus5875]

At 5:18 you sound so annoyed about how you couldn't spread the legs outward and it made me laugh for some reason lol

[@duyphan4617]

Soundwave scale quite excellent. He was really short compared to Megatron

[@diisis]

Great review, I'm looking forward to the ROTF Studio Series Soundwave, I really liked that satellite alt mode.

[@harleenquinzel5365]

"Soundwave superior" Edit: can't wait to see how bad is the new Jeep Bumblebee

[@aSlipperyDuck]

From the promo art it look pretty good. He said it was good too.

[@nachoprime9649]

@@aSlipperyDuck he says literally every studio series figure is good

[@jonahcorona1178]

It’s like 90% fake parts tho which is a damn shame bc consideing how many hound molds we have this could’ve been an almost perfect figure it also seems like they’ve scrapped the wings which is fucking movie accurate and people complained so they won’t care or notice i don’t understand why a plate is more appealing to people than wings even if they’re not accurate wings just look better lol

[@aSlipperyDuck]

@nachoprime now that I think about it, you're right, but in my personal opinion, I think it is good, the fake chest from what I can see hides pretty well. Besides that, I usually hate fake-formers

[@elijahblechman8633]

@@jonahcorona1178 the figure is a brawn premold.

[@Soldier-wi8ps]

Already got this guy in my Pile of Loot in BBTS. 😄Just gotta ship him home. ☺Can't wait to get a hold of him, he looks sick. I only wish he had some blue highlights on his soundspeakers/emitters and at least have one of his blasters.

[@AmbroseP1864]

I veryyy recently acquired this figure. I have not had any problems with the window popping off, or the headlight ball joints. I admit the clearence isnt the best but i thankfully managed it. The figure is amazing. Im sad i could only get one, but the 2007 camaro bee and the arcee triplets were at my local target. I do plan to acquire them soon if i can

He looks amazing. I am not a big fan of ko oversize, most if the time it's unnecessary but this guy would be amazing if wei Jiang did a ko

[@MarkyMarc413]

Take a shot everytime he says "Now what we can do" / "now what you can do" / "now what you're going to do" etc. lol just teasing. Enjoying you're reviews, waiting to see if you've got Earthrise Wheeljack!

[@DanStormVO]

I have the original DOTM Deluxe Soundwave but sadly the windshield cracked! Glad to see the new Studio Series one looks so good

[@UnfaithfulServant97]

I can’t wait to see what they do with the RotF Soundwave. A satellite being his Alt Mode is perfect. Not another expensive sports car. And I do hope they bring some of the dark blue in his RotF verion. I hate how boringly grey Soundwave is in DotM.

[@elderguard]

Yes he did have a bland colour scheme

[@otherworld9344]

Picked this guy up today to start my collection 👌

[@MandoDin]

37.5K?!?? WHAT. *At least* give you like 4Million! Like really, your videos are professional, its also nice to just watch just to, SEE it and enjoy it, unlike other reviewers that I just watch to review toys.

[@PrimeVsPrime]

Haha thank you! :)

[@DarthRakdos0805]

Yeah looking back at this, the reason why Megatron is so big is that his legs are straightened out way more so that's why he's so tall. Also looking at a size chart. Megatron is 35' and Soundwave is 16'. From the pictures from the same chart he's about to his knees if not a little bit over.

[@Patrick-ep4vc]

Megatron would look slightly more in scale if you fully bend the lower knees forward and the upper knees slightly back (chicken-leg style) and hunch him over. DOTM Megatron isn't really designed to be fully upright. Anyways that would only improve the scale slightly. Also, good review and this is definitely a superior movie Soundwave figure!

[@theclonewhopunchedadroid7501]

I found out that if you use the tab on lazer beak than you can plug it into sound waves wheels to make it look like laser beam is on his shoulder

[@ReptilianRichardRamirez]

I love soundwave, I don't collect SS but this would go great with my g1 and siege soundwave. Best studio series fig of all time

[@mrunaljoshi2027]

Soundwave reporting, lord Megatron

[@nathanthomas8096]

Finally got him, but the left head light has a rough paint chip

[@Quantum_Magnus]

For DOTM Megatron, your supposed to have the knees bent as much as possible. Like, the bottom joint is supposed to be bent forward as far as it will go, and the top must be set back 3 clicks.

[@kee8892]

1:15 yea he did look like this no face plate, and the human alliance I remember it having a opening and closing mouth

[@smittyplays04]

No actually for the head sculpt it’s the first time we have gotten a screen accurate head design he never actually had a visor

[@soundwavesuperior5429]

Smitty plays no, in my opinion the head looks monstrous . P.S: love you transformers into darkness series.

[@SoftEndy]

@@soundwavesuperior5429 He didn't say it was better, he just said in the movie, there is no visor.

[@jenprice2596]

All these studio series figures look awesome

[@DistantFungus20]

Only downside to all the silver paint is that it scratches somewhat easy

[@KingSausage74]

I only saw Soundwave once at Wal-Mart and glad I got him.

[@prolegiongaming3291]

I got soundwave , his designs are really good but like those two pieces of the headlights are a pain to rotate I can't even manage to turn them, but as for the speakers I decided to add the blue and repaint on him and Lazer beak as to the movie.

[@chairolive2125]

Just orderd this soundwave hope hes a good as you say

[@djhaze103]

Great review as always but yes Soundwave scale is correct when compared to Megatron.....it looked different due to the fact Megatron was hunched over in DOTM....and his head is on point he does have eyes in DOTM. The visor was in RotF not DOTM

[@skintgirafde320]

I honestly would’ve preferred a voyager ROTF Soundwave with Laserbeak, Ravage and Frenzy they you could fit in his torso

[@tylerg6511]

I'm gonna need a huge room lol

[@allenspringsteen301]

Changing Soundwave could be similar to the Studio Series Barricade that came out around when the first movie came out. A lot of similarities when transforming the two

[@allofusmachinima]

if you go back and watch dark of the Moon Megatron his legs are actually supposed to be that like double knee insect looking thing like a lot of the other decepticons and if you bend his legs like that he fits really well in scale with everything

[@benmedeirosma-youtube]

Wish they added the blue on him. With the glowy bits

[@virginialoverproductions]

"You're mine now!"

[@cuanculliton4603]

the scale between megatron and soundwave is perfect

[@000Engineer000]

Great instruction, made it so much easier than following the printed manual.

[@catandogclone7880]

Soundwave only had a visor in his revenge of the fallen design, with dark of the moon his eyes were just really close together

[@therestingmitchface6241]

I need this next to my Siege Soundwave and DOTM Laserbeak

[@MrPooPooJohn]

I don’t know why the human alliance Soundwave was so unliked. I know people had issues with the tiny legs and feet but I thought it was amazing. The transformation is outstanding and the design was great. I loved all the different colors and paint apps too. This is a decent figure but the Human Alliance version is still my favie.

[@AfterthymeGaming]

I wonder if the old deluxe's mech-tech gun is compitable with this one..?

[@f7or1n]

when i saw this fig. for the first time i was thinking this is a repaint of original dotm deluxe class, but is not :)

[@Jazmission]

What dose it look like next to tlk drift. Vehicle mode

[@hannabakerisjealous118]

Well if you consider how small the Mercedes sls amg is, his size does make sense

[@aSlipperyDuck]

Soundwave had normal eyes, but a visor he could put on to match his g1 counterpart

[@tevinhoward4419]

"Soundwave reporting lord Megatron autobots had taken the bait they discovered the ark and returned with it's cargo laserbeak kill them all with pleasure".

[@Cr2-10]

hi i recently bought this figure, did anyone have any problem rotating the hood for the vehicle? i can't completely rotate it and looks weird in vehicle mode, idk if anyone knows about a fix for this

[@Quantum_Magnus]

On his chest, right under the bumper, there’s a small face that I cannot unsee.

[@Pointlessproductions77877]

That scale of megatron and soundwave is actually accurate

[@arkturus425]

there is one thing I'd like to point out.. The chest design for the other soundwave is more movie accurate, and as for the SS wave, theres nothing covering the grill for the chest part. just figured i'd say it.

[@JoseMartinez-df2db]

If you look at the scene in Africa you will see that Soundwave is very small next to Megatron and Starscream.

[@soundwavesuperior5429]

I just wish the figure more paint and articulation , same for lazerbeak also soundwave should come with a gun . But it's still a good figure.

[@NIGameYeah]

I got this today but I accidentally broken 2 of the same bits off, don't affect the transformation, they are part of the door part and I think it's because of the waist part not being diagonal like on the video.

[@troppie7823]

Same with me. It doesn’t effect the transformation and could be better off without it, but still this fig is a piece of shit.

[@jeffheithaus9120]

Well, I think all the left is Shockwave right? Thought you going to try to get jet Shatter and jeep Bumblebee too.

[@diisis]

In terms oh height comparison, Megatrons legs are fully extended in the review however they should be fully bent at all the angles, when properly positioned, all of the SS Megatron figures are the same height.

[@uainjansun]

I know the vid is old but my copy it fell few times and the paint looks weird now. The headlights bits used to pop off on mine but since i haven't used it in months it became less a problem

[@saijnx]

Great video

Thanks!

I am not worthy of carrying the Soundwave name 😂😂😂

[@mikestion4629]

Soundwave's a short, stout and lovable guy.

[@courtneycroons4744]

He had his visor when he was transforming and when he had his guns

[@nathanalfaro79]

to be honest for the instructions to transform him I think they should have done it the exact way you did it unless I might have messed it up, but I did by accident break i piece of him while trying to transform him and I am still upset about this but honestly this is a really good review.

[@Karate_kid8888]

I have the same problem with all of the bumblebees I get when I get them the doors have cracks in them

[@OliverShark]

The arms when I try to transform into car form wont snap in, anyone else have this issue?

[@dijieditz6789]

The scale between megatron and soundwave are actually accurate.i checks the Africa scene again
