The moment I first saw this amazing transforming LEGO Soundwave by Student Scissors I had flashbacks to my childhood, playing with my own version of the action figure and the cassette tapes that transformed into a hawk and a panther. The builder has captured the dark blue and white Decepticon in perfect detail, with his shoulder-mounted cannon, cassette-playing chest, and even the aforementioned entourage of mini-bots. I particularly like the tilework used to replicate the play and stop buttons on the torso.
And to prove that the Transformer is worthy of that moniker, here’s Soundwave in his microcassette deck mode. Looks like he’s ready to play the song of the Autobots’ destruction.
Please submit this to the Lego Ideas program RIGHT NOW!!!
The Decepticon looks very nice; the cassette player: I could stare at it until kingdom come and I would still not see a cassette player there. Having been told it is one, I will take it for granted and move to the next activity of the night: food. Enjoy your own dinner!
Brings back memories. I had soundwave as a toy way back when. One of my
favorite transformers. His voice was so Kool on the cartoon.
