Very Good

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.
I would recommend this to a friend!

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.

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.

Beautiful build/ terrible quality

I was so excited for this set literally all year. I finally got it and enjoyed the build so much, but the actual set is so bad. Every single joint is extremely loose, to the point you can barely pose the figure at all. At first it was just the shoulder joints, then it was the hand joints, now the knees/ankles are giving out. I've had this set for literally 5 days and it's already near useless. It can only be displayed in its Walkman form unless you super glue the whole thing together in the exact pose you want. I am incredibly disappointed in a way I never have been with Lego. (The image included was taken the first day I had it. The right arm already won't support its own weight, hence why it's dropping down)
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Multiple pieces missing from bag 8, integral ones I could not replace on my own. An unprecedented amount, more than I’ve ever seen rendering it UNBUILDABLE on bag 8-12. It’s a rare occurrence but this is unacceptable.

Box art has been destroyed by warning label.

I understand that this warning label is required, but Lego should figure out how not to destroy the box. I used to collect Lego sets, I would build it, but the box was still part of my display. Lego needs to stop using coin batteries, go to AAA or just remove the features that the Lego set doesn’t need, or sell a separate “lighting kit” with the huge warning label on it. I want my box art back, it is disgusting that I have to try and import sets at a premium cost just to get a box without a label that takes up almost a 1/4 of the cover.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
