Just in time before I sold my Universe Blaster, I got the Cybertron Soundwave from a local seller. Like I said in Blaster's review, I
would be much happier if I could get Soundwave and now finally I got him. Since this is the review after Blaster, I won't repeak the
samefeatures of the figure.
Soundwave's alternate mode is a fictional F-117 jet. Unlike Blaster, Soundwave's color scheme is much, much cleaner and much,
much better. Majority blue with some gray/silver and black and little bit at purple and red, he looks not as much of eyes itching as
Blaster. Laserbeak is much better than Blockrock, too. At least his eyes are originally painted. The jet's problem is about the same,
securing all limbs tightly for the jet body is challenging sometimes.
The color scheme in robot mode is much better than Blaster, too. He is still majority blue, but now with some gold and gray/silver.
Comparing them side by side, Soundwave's color is much better than Blaster as Blaster has colors allocated on wide spots but
looks messy. The arms movement limiting by the shields issue is the same. The hip joint issue is the same. At least his knees are
easier to bend now.
Laserbeak is as great as Blockrock. He is super poseable and can transforme (squeeze) into a bomb. The thing makes him better
than Blockrock is his color scheme.
Transformation: 7 - Copy-paste from Blaster. Not difficult and putting everying back to jet mode tightly is a little bit challenging.
Fun: 9 - Two guns and Laserbeak, plus now I can finally put Ravage (coming from Hound) back to its own master, it's more fun.
Too bad cannot deny his limbs movement issue.
Display: 9 - Jet mode looks good and he poses and balances well in robot mode. Plus now I can put Ravage on his side. He fits
perfectly well with Classics line even though he is from Cybertron line.
Value: 7 - $18 for a used figure from a local seller. No instruction with one peg for holding the bomb broken. Glad he is clean and
in a very good condition. Still a reasonable deal especially for the name of Soundwave plus I don't need to pay the shipping.
Overall: 9 - Now I am happier with Soundwave since Blaster is in an envelopment shipping to another house. I'm also happier
Ravage is finally not along. I would be even more happier if Ravage can squeeze into his chest.
