This set is awesome!! From the transforming cassettes to the mini Soundwave this set does not disappoint. Soundwave looks great in both robot and cassette player modes.
Old line but very true. Trying to figure out what your making with each step is part of unraveling the fun. I decided that Soundwave wasn't complete without Megatron. So...I created my own using some spare Lego components. I even made my own version of Soundwave (non transformable).
I would recommend this to a friend!

Man, this thing is awesome. He scales well with the other transformers, he looks good, and he has a exellent play experiance. there are things that I would like to modify, but this thing is awesome. Now give us megatron
Soundwave was my favorite G1 toy as a kid. When I saw him in Lego form I knew I had to have it.
The build is fairly simple and straightforward. Some neat techniques to give it movement.
Soundwave in his robot form is awesome. I love his look and how poseable he his. Downside to how poseable he is is that some of the joints are somewhat weak. The arm holding the gun has to be lowered or it just falls to the floor. Every time I touched the arm to move it or transform it, the fingers and/or hand fell off.
The tape recorder mode feels incomplete. The arms just sit in the back and look horrendous. I don’t envy the designers task of making it transform at all, but it isn’t good. Parts of the feet, hands and even a leg fell off while transforming it also. For me it was incredibly frustrating.
I live the way Razorbeak looks in both tape and bird forms. Ravage was not nearly as good. His tape form doesn’t remotely look like a tape, and the dog form isn’t much better.
I will be keeping him in his robot form since that look is awesome, I just wish it was the best it could be.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I was thrilled to hear we are getting another transformer, as I have waited my whole life for this. I am just disappointed as the cost of this. As a child I would have never been able to get this toy and it is disappointing to know there are kids out there who will never get to enjoy how amazing of a set this is. Other than price I have no complaints, this is by far the best transformer they have released and I pray they continue to keep this going.
Soundwave came in the mail today, already started working on him. So far I'm very impressed with the engineering that's gone into the model. I do have a question concerning the sound module though. I understand why Soundwave got one, he's a boom box. But are there any plans to release a voice module for Optimus and Bumblebee? Sounds like something that would be very well received by customers.
I had a lot of fun building this set. Ravage and Laserbeak were beautiful, almost exactly like their modern day toy counterparts.
Soundwave was a very fun build. The one problem I had was that as I continued to build, I started to see how the transformation was going to work, except for the arms. I couldn't see where they were going to be hidden. I won't "give away the ending", but the title of this review comes close.
