[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Ever since Lego introduced the Transformer sets I was waiting for Soundwave to be announced. I am a huge fan of this set. And I have all of the current Transformer sets.
This is a wonderful build for those who remember the original transformers from the 80s. The figure has lots of articulation points and transforms very smoothly. The best parts for me are the sound brick and the cassette feature.
This captures Soundwave incredibly well in Lego form. And we get two additional Decepticons with the tapes. The tape deck opening feels exactly as it should. The leg engineering is brilliant, with the folding panels as the foot lowers. The head sculpt is spot on. It’s a wonderful set for G1 Transformer fans.
Love this build. Love the soundbrick. Lazerbeak was amazing. Ravage was a little disappointing considering how good Lazerbeak was but he is still good.
