Soundwave (and Buzzsaw cassette)


Alliance: Decepticon
Identification: Decepticon Communicator
Year released: 1984
Accessories: Buzzsaw Cassette, 2 missile launchers, 3 missiles

Comments: Soundwave is one very famous Transformer. Many remember him as the Megatron's right hand man or "the guy who turned into a cassette deck". Either way you slice it, Soundwave is a legend. His action figure version is very true to his cartoon/comic counterpart (plus very poseable). He looked great and was worth every penny!!

Soundwave is a blue/silver tape deck . He looks great and very true to a real cassette player. He had a cassette drawer which actually worked. The transformation to robot isn't difficult but worth the money you paid. Soundwave has a great robot form and is very poseable. He has a shoulder launcher and a hand launcher. They both add to the appeal of his robot form. Soundwave in general is an excellent piece.

But let's not forget one thing: he comes with Buzzsaw the cassette. Buzzsaw is the gold cassette that changes into a condor. He is pretty basic but all of the cassettes are quite neat!! When buzzsaw's backpacks are in place they look great!! The cassettes also fit nicely into Soundwave's tape drawer.

Soundwave is a heck of a piece. Not only are his two forms excellent but you even get a free cassette figure. You can't beat that!!! Wonderful piece and worthy in any collection!!!

 



Special thanks to ngc@cadvision.com and ASD003@aol.com for providing me the tecs. Mine is a multi-lingual box and didn't have them complete. Thanks!! :)



SOUNDWAVE


"Cries and screams are music to my ears."

It is said SOUNDWAVE can hear a fly sneeze. Uses anything he hears for blackmail to advance his status. Opportunist. Despised by all other Decepticons. Sensors can detect even lowest energy radio transmissions. Able to read minds by monitoring electrical brain impulses. Acts as a radio link for others. Locates and identifies Autobots, then informs Decepticons. Carries a concussion blaster gun. Often target of retaliation by his comrades.

BUZZSAW


"My bite is worse than my bark."

Civil and sophisticated yet very cruel and destructive. Approaches his lethal tasks like a fine artist. Each deadly mission is like working on a new masterpiece. Can pinpoint and photograph a thumbtack from 20 miles away. Flies at 250 mph. Carries twin mortar cannons. Diamond-hard, micro-serrated beak can carve up almost any opponent. Due to large ego, will often sulk rather than proceed if his plans go astray.
