"Mass released." You're funny.

his robot mode is practically the same as Siege even having a different transformation, that's completely awesome

This one actually feels like a mini masterpiece

You don’t have to use the peg on laserbeak. He’s feet will tab in to the four slots and soundwaves arm

I have a name for my pain. And it is "Walmart Exclusive".

I knew I made the right decision when I put off getting the Siege version. This is a must-have for me.

Actually, the Siege Laserbeak head-sculpt was an official animated version of him, for a short time. In the first episode of "More Than Meets The Eye", the very first episode ever in 1984 of the cartoon, Laserbeak transformed from a tape, into a UFO-inspired drone, with the exact head-sculpt that was the Siege version of him. It wasn't until he was revived on Earth and Teletran-1 redesigned him, that he had the more bird like features that he is more famous for. I personally was waiting for the Siege version of that design since 1984, because no other version of Laserbeak was released with the original animated head, and at least they had that small part that was a throwback the original episode. And also, the secret "Lamppost Mode" of Soundwave was also another wink and nod to that episode too. But I do like the new designs too, because Hasbro are really listening to their fans, because they are literally going through the Teletran-1 redesigns between Siege and Earth Rise.

The older Laserbeak you were showing was his G1 Cybertron mode before the Autobots/Decepticons crashed landed in the Ark on Earth.

Haven’t been able to preorder this guy yet. Walmart already has him sold out.

I wonder how Netflix will deal with the mass shifting. It’s just gonna be a giant cassette player

I really wish they release him separately as an Earthrise voyager. The Netflix figures are hard to find here in the Philippines.

FINALLY! I’ve been waiting for this so much!

Netflix Soundwave having his signature red visor automatically makes him better than the siege version

I’m super excited for this figure since Soundwave is my favorite Decepticon. Once I put the red stripes on his forearms and on his guns he will be perfect.

I know this is a tad bit late, but I finally got this figure, and found something interesting. Soundwave’s gray gun really fits well onto megatrons back, and gives a very nice G1 aesthetic.

In the thumbnail I though this was a masterpiece this is how good this figure is

I want to see a Buzzsaw and Howlback out of the new ravage and Laserbeak molds

Gotta say this first SOUNDWAVE SUPERIOR, AUTOBOTS INFERIOR I'm gonna wait to see someone make this an actual working cassette player

I’ve been waiting for this review. Thank you for this.

I actually managed to find this guy and the Prime in person! I never thought I'd find them, and especially after Amazon cancelling my Paradron Medics order, this was a big win. Hope you all the best in your search!

PrimeVsPrime superior, TonTon inferoir

Soundwave acknowledges. Pursue her. Retrieve it. Decepticons, we have located the shard. Decepticons, mobilize, it is time. Yes. (speaking over iPhone) Where’s the boy? Decepticons, Scorponok’s location detected.

MP-13: he's outdated but atleast we have third party figures who can make good soundwave WFC2: hold ravage, lazerbeak, bussaw, rumble, frenzy and ratbat

I think they are both great, cybertron vs earth siege even had the mode he had in the first episode which wasn't a cassette player and then earth mode having the cassette player mode is just great.

Shame he doesn’t have the red stripes on his arms for some reason....

I’m surprised at how much he’s actually be retooled. This is awesome. Now I’m really looking forward to picking him up. I still love my siege version. He remains one of my favourites but this version could stay on my shelf in cassette mode next to my Reflector set. Good going my man 👍🏻

The Siege Laserbeak is intended to look like cybertronian laserbeak prior to crash landing on earth. The new one obviously is meant to be after crashing. So both are accurate.

YES! Excellent review for an excellent figure! This guy is the highlight of the second wave, as the only other one I intend to buy is Elita-1! I am definitely getting this guy! I was waiting for this review since when I saw your Instagram story PrimeVsPrime! Really looking forward to your review of Netflix Nemesis, Generation Selects Tigertrack, and Studio Series 86 Hot Rod

I want a 3rd party to make a little case for the cassettes minions. Maybe it could turn into a vehicle or a base or something.

This is AWESOME THANK YOU PRIME VS ORIKE FOR MAKING THIS REVIEW. Time to find one my self

What going on with Hasbro ? Nothing is in stock anywhere . Still no Earthrise wave 2

You know be nice if hasbro makes blaster

Yes I am so happy that this is being reviewed

Probably the only review were he didn't have any problems

I’m amazed how I found three of these in my local toy shop. Picked up one and left the others for another collector. Couldn’t believe my luck. Great review and loved the enthusiasm. Great work 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

its perfect, im definitely getting this, i love soundwave so much

Next up: War For Cybertron Kingdom: Dinobot

Me: I don't need it * sees ravage and laserbeak * Me again: I don't need it * sees red visor * Me and my mother: *I NEED IT*

Dang Prime Vs Prime another Great Review as always. I was just about to get the siege soundwave and I didn’t really want to get this figure but you completely changed my mind because of your review. The figure may be a bit more expensive but because of you I can safely say NEW SOUNDWAVE SUPERIOR OLD SOUNDWAVE INFERIOR

This is the review I was anticipating most. Can't wait to get him

I just got this guy, got really really lucky, the damn scalpers have been sccopin him up left right and center.... hate scalpers.

As soon as I can I'm getting him

Im truly overjoyed to finally see this beautiful figure! PrimeVsPrime, you are a legend!

Awesome review and great Soundwave impersonation!

I really want this because it's G1 also nice review by the way 10/10 👌.

What is a cassette recorder? (Just kidding, I’m so excited for this!!!!!)

Great review, brother! I just found him and Cyclonus last week at my local Walmart! Absolutely great figures!

Got to love that glow in the eyes. They need to make all the figures this way.

Siege version looks like my lil cousin went outside and drag it face down in the driveway. Netflix version is so crisp!!! Where you wish your siege was back to that normal look

More proof that ppl would rather have a pancake as opposed to actual back detailing lmao

I can't even.... Amazing job as always PvP. This looks amazing and I hope to nab one up someday. Truly outstanding 👏

I’m so glad I passed on getting the Siege version of Soundwave. This version is just so much better!

Too bad pre order sold out in a minute, now I have to risk human contact and go into a Walmart, am not scared of the virus just human contact in general

Don't get from TF Safari, My very first time my Optimus prime broke literally out of the packaging, I think the leg was crazy glued on

Loooove the head sculpt of Soundwave

The Siege Laserbeak is the Cybertronian version, and his head is supposed to have that drone look to it. Because that's the way Laserbeak looked on the very first episode of G1 Transformers when they were still on Cybertron and tracking Bumblebee and Wheeljack. The Netflix version is basically what would be his earth based version that he got when all of the Decepticons were revived and repaired millions of years later after crash landing on earth with the Autobots.

You know the feet of Lazerbeak is designed to snap into the arm, very lightly though. You don’t need to pull out the pin on Lazerbeak

I wish Masterpiece could just make giant Soundwave minions. Like make a giant Lazerbeak and Ravage but still make them transform into life-size ceset tapes. I think that would be awesome

Since Soundwave played a major part in the 86 movie there is a chance we could get him in studio series.

I have to pick this version of Soundwave! Another great review, PrimevsPrime!

This was my most anticipated review and you delivered! This will be my first CHUG Soundwave.

4:30 we've all done this at least once with our Soundwave figures.

Can’t wait get that 👍 soon also nice review prime

Awesome toy, awesome review! You got it first, you beat The Other maN for this! It's the epitome of updated/modern take of G1 Soundwave. I'll definitely get this one.

Anyone know when this guy and the netflix bumblebee will be hitting shelves, or at leasst available online?

I’m gonna try my best to get this. Due to me living in the uk these Netflix figures are kinda illusive. They have him on preorder on smyths for the 1st of December I just know it will sell out and never get restocked... great review though man keep it up.

cannot wait to get mine, if Walmart stocks it... and very much keeping my fingers crossed for a WFC/studio/or netflix blaster

I need this Sound wave he looks so awesome love his G1 voice

"Decepticons attack" .

Can we just get a blaster remold.

This is a fine review. And I agree with you, this is the best Soundwave in recent years, since MP-13 Soundwave.

I thought this was masterpiece for a second

Why can't Hasbro make Siege Auto Troopers or any types of Decepticon drone Siege figures yet so we can be able to have all out War like in the last episode Siege

ER Prime and now this? We officially have the mini Masterpiece bros

I have my preorder in and honestly can’t wait till this arrives

Fantastic review for a fantastic figure and now I am more then excited and I hope this figure is release in its shatter glass colors like that prime and ratchet

Listen, I love your reviews but why in the name of primes didn’t you compare him to Refracktor/Scrapface’s camera mode

Look at those paint on the tape!!! MUST BUY!

I have the same Netflix Soundwave and I was so excited to have it.

No good to anyone outside of the USA unless you want to pay scalpers prices.

Yes finally reeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!! Reeeeeeeeeeeeeee i love this video!!!!!!!!!!

Both this and Siege have clips on the forearm that holds laserbeak's feet so it can truly perch on him

I cant wait to add this to my soundwave shelf

2:17 Vastly "superior" the unintentional pun jokes are getting out of hand lol

Damn still doesn’t hold two cassettes at once

Everything from the knees-down on this version is imo a huge upgrade from Siege. Those sexy Soundwave knees!

Hell yeah! This is an amazing review pvp!

I guess I'm the only one who's brave enough to say that both versions of Ravage are disappointing pieces of crap. The G1 version is literally a better Jaguar. That's hard to do, make a toy that's worse than one made in the 80s.

Netflix soundwave superior Siege soundwave inferior

I am Transformers fan for 30 years, basically from the first day i sa them on TV as a small kidd!

Found this set a couple days ago at a Walmart that is usually a deadend but I figured I'd check anyway. He was right behind the Optimus set.

Love it, will be getting this when I can

Damn, if it was in stock now I would definitely get it. It sucks that some transformers are just so rare that they get sold out almost instantly.

Freakin' Awesome! Will there be a version of this for Blaster (Autobots)?

This version of soundwave is besto! Great review as always!

Back in the early nineties, I found a Soundwave toy that transformed as normal, but the cassette deck actually worked and played audio tapes. Unfortunately, as a child at the time, I couldn't get it and I've never seen or heard of another one.

Looks awesome. When can we preorder it or when will it be released?

An outstanding looking Soundwave!

Found one on a random trip to yosemite . Had a pitstop and saw a walmart . What luck !

Since the forearms are the same as siege, there's actually a pair of notches on each side that are just the right size and shape for Lazerbeaks feet to clip onto, looks a lot better and more natural than using the peg
