Alright so people didn't seem to watch the video before commenting. Literally THE FIRST thing I say after the intro is that this is the RID one and not First Edition
It's downright criminal Hasbro never reissued the First Edition figures. Those molds are so good and we're probably never going to see them again in any official capacity
Transformers Prime figures didn't sell very well, so there's no motive/profit for Hasbro to resell them. The TV Show was fairly well-liked, but (much like Transformers Animated) the toys never sold well.
They should've reissued them for the 10th anniversary a couple of years ago. I'm glad we got a domestic release for the Jet Vehicon and Breakdown, but idk why they rereleased a random Takara Megatron repaint instead of something more desirable like the FE Voyagers.
@@mrsamaritan6881which is so wierd cus animated had a great toyline too!!! I missed out bad when I passed on it back then (I let others influence me into not watching it and I’ve learned not to do that now adays)
The APC toys mold is actually slightly oversized to get him to scale better with the other Prime figures. That’s why I got him despite having the original. The original did have soft plastic for stuff like the crest, and I wish they kept that so there’s less chance of breaking
The knee problem can be 'fixed' by undoing the second joint in the double bend, allowing for that lil piece of kibble on the back of his lower leg to slide next to the thigh. If you slide the kneepad over it it looks pretty natural. But it doesn't bend any further than ~80 degrees which is eh Honestly this is still a 9/10 figure for me. I got the 4.0 deco and that's ABSOLUTELY the one to gun for. It's so absurdly accurate to the show and definitely worth the retail price point. Def better than looking for the RID mold too
Soundwave is an interesting mold, and unique enough design for the character. Never had any issues or breaks occur though my only complaint if anything was he felt way undersized like the FE Starscream deluxe. Would love for these two to get Voyager treatment in an upcoming Legacy wave.
This redeco is based on the TFCC/GIJCC Stealth Advanced B.A.T that were released exclusively in these two clubs with a figure of Old Snake/Cobra Commander. Their smaller drones are called Nightshrieks.
@@returnedtomonkey8886 It was before Metal Gear Solid video games even existed. It was in a season 3 episode of the original Transformers cartoon where Cobra Commander/Old Snake made an appearance from the G.I. Joe cartoon that ran around the same time back in the 1986 or 1987 timeframe.
@@returnedtomonkey8886 negative, from that one episode in G1 Season3 with the happenings in 2006 or around then, Cobra Commander was far before his prime, and due to a copyright snare halfway throught, they had to do a quick redesign and renaming. as often is with hasbro, the OldSnake identity for Cobra Commander was rolled into the main mythos, and in, was it 2010?, they had this pack with Old Snake and 2 of these redecoes figure
got the beast hunters one back in december 2022, for wahtever reason you find plenty beast hunter figures here in argentina (specially Zebra stores and Mercado Libre) pretty neat, my only complain is that ravage is not completly black and the brownish colors on soundwave upper body
I got the APC Demonic Whisper, which is the show accurate colors for Prime Soundwave. I’ve always wanted the original Hasbro Prime Soundwave figure, but he’s sooo expensive. When I saw APC made an upscaled version WITH show accurate colors, I knew I needed to get him
"because bro doesn't speak... at all" incorrect, soundwave said only ONE line in the entire show, the line was in beast hunters and he said "autobots inferior, soundwave superior"
I have the original rid version, and he actually has amazing range of motion at the knees!takes a bit of shimmying, but one you do the knees are pretty posable
I hope Legacy can eventually get to Prime Soundwave. As so-so as Hasbro/Takara's attempts at Prime has been, I want to see their attempt at a G1'd Prime Soundwave.
I really wish APC took the opportunity to retool some small things. Giving him ankle tilts, adjusting the leg transformation to not have random bits obscuring knee articulation and not have the cockpit as such large protrusions would've been great.
I'm hooked on APC and AC. Got 7 plus Prime trailer and Cliffjumper on the way. 1 AC that Bulkhead. APC hasn't released their still. Someone posted on the forums awhile ago asking showz about who made Bulkhead and was told they and APC don't know who AC is. Since AC also released their version of Cliffjumper. Can't go wrong with APC, they also oversize some figures like Soundwave and they all fix or improve the figure from the original.
The inbox completionists must really have trouble getting the 1st edition considering how expensive they've gotten and how they came. The deluxe came two ways, one in vehicle mode, the other way was in robot mode. And the fact that this line wasn't really released in the US. Some TRU's got them, but not many.
It’s based on a Cobra BAT. 2 were packed together with a Cobra Commander action figure from TFCC. Still have mine sealed with my other Joe/TF crossovers
So APC makes Prime figures which is awesome, but man do I wish they also made Animated figures Bc it would be so nice to have someone continuing to make them. And you know, not having to pay ridiculous prices for half a figure or settle for legacy which so far is just mid
I got most of my Prime Beast Hunter figures for $5 Canadian each at Wal-Mart (years ago of course), the Soundwave has Ravage but no removeable Laserbeak.
Ive gotten a few, wish i could find a bulkhead but eh its neat that the three kids come with cliffjumper though its weird that they came with him as they never met him...
that soundwave figure was and bulkhead was what got me into collecting transformners , plus i saw a masterpiece hotrod at TRU and bit the bullet and with that the bug bit me and i was off i bought all the prime figures i could i even managed some 1st editions with living in the UK that wasnt as easy as it was for you lot state side
I just got the Demonic Whisper version a couple of weeks ago. He was a little smaller than I was expecting, I was hoping he'd scale in the with the other APC I've got Darkmaster Megatron . But it's still a cool model, I prefer the show accurate colours although that face screen does look nice. Wait...what? there's a Prime Ravage?! Mind blown haha!!
I have the beast hunters soundwave but I lost his arms somewhere. And if im not mistaken he does have knee joints, similar situation with SS hot rod, where you kinda have to "force" That piece to get out of the way.
for what is worth, I love this deco as well the one thing I don't get is why, even if it's a 3p, they find themselves refusing to go down the arms-micron way, even when there's much less immediate accessories that get done (not in this case, the tentacles are iconic but absent in pretty much everywhere else)
These intros are so funny because they're so random. In the future one of them will be like "this video is for adult collectors because he likes pizza" as if that's an adult exclusive thing
This would go awesome as like a first edition bat to be next to the bats in a G.I. army display.. makes it look like the gijoe b.a.t. is the finished product…
Not exactly. It was originally released as a Transformers Collectors Club exclusive Transformers and G.I.

I got the FE bumblebee for 10 bucks at value village and it came with lego now that I know how much it’s worth I’m gonna sell it because I would rather either BBM Soundwave or TFA Soundwave or a good amount of the TFA toys
Am I the only one who wants the Legacy line to remake Prime Soundwave and Airachnid???? Sure they messed up Arcee, and Bulkhead and Knockout are only good to some. But after seeing the Seeker twins and Thundertron, I doubt they'll mess up with someone like Soundwave and Airachnid.

First also anybody know how to fix his arm joint? Cause my first copy the arm joint was loose af and I used the superglue trick but the arm is weird and I fused it together. Any ideas on how to fix it?

I mean, technically it's the first edition of TFP Soundwave they did, so.. 😅
Make review of cliffjumper APC TOYS
I have then and is very coolllllll
To think one day for a video you can try reviewing some 3D printed bionicle parts and give your thoughts on them

That's the exact Soundwave that came in my dream as Blaster!
I didn't knew he was a thing until it came in my dream O_O

Yes!!

Some one in one of my classes brings this guy in
Awesome vid! Also that Menasor looked super cool, are you gonna show it off more?
This dude has like one line in the hole show but he makes it count
I hope Legacy can eventually get to Prime Soundwave. As so-so as Hasbro/Takara's attempts at Prime has been, I want to see their attempt at a G1'd Prime Soundwave.
The fact that this Soundwave turns into a COD UAV drone has always been funny to me.
I bought one of their Attack Primes a while ago and the Cliffjumper is arriving soon, I can’t wait for it to come.
I have never seen soundwave looking that fresh
I actually have the original version of this soundwave, I remember my dad bought it for me on my birthday one year.
I really wish APC took the opportunity to retool some small things. Giving him ankle tilts, adjusting the leg transformation to not have random bits obscuring knee articulation and not have the cockpit as such large protrusions would've been great.

Found a mastermind Optus pexus on tfsafari for a decent price which was neat! Thanks for telling me about them!
I love that Old Snake and BATS set.
I’m glad I held out for the newer blue version :) I love screen accurate things :)
I just bought this off of Amazon for $65 US. $70 US with tax. I’ve always wanted one, and I can’t wait for it to arrive.
You can still bend the knee I believe but it flexes the kibble, though it might just be with the beast hunters mould
It’s based on a Cobra BAT. 2 were packed together with a Cobra Commander action figure from TFCC. Still have mine sealed with my other Joe/TF crossovers
the knee kibble that prevents the bend on this toy is much softer on the official release. you can actually get a 90 degree bend on the official toy.
Looks like soundwave got a makeover
thank u for the 1st edition info u saved me so much money
Best G.I. Joe crossover with transformers ever

That color scheme reminds me of Cybertron Sideways
its funny i have the beast hunters one lol missing ravige though
Paint scheme looks like a lil homage to BW blackarachnia. Nice!
He did actually speak twice I believe. Once when the autobots captured him... I forgot if he did after or before that.
Ive gotten a few, wish i could find a bulkhead but eh its neat that the three kids come with cliffjumper though its weird that they came with him as they never met him...

Soundwave can pick up radio signals from ACROSS the universe!! Play my favorite song!

I love this third party version of z sound wave😊
You can flex the plastic piece on the knees and bend the knee 90°, it doesn't stress the plastic on my copy either
I have the beast hunters soundwave but I lost his arms somewhere. And if im not mistaken he does have knee joints, similar situation with SS hot rod, where you kinda have to "force" That piece to get out of the way.
TF Prime content is the best content 😌
Which display base are you using to display Soundwave in his alt mode?
for what is worth, I love this deco as well
the one thing I don't get is why, even if it's a 3p, they find themselves refusing to go down the arms-micron way, even when there's much less immediate accessories that get done (not in this case, the tentacles are iconic but absent in pretty much everywhere else)
I 've been collecting TF before it become much more mainstream, I used to buy TF first edition prime on sale, for like $8 up to $18 only
Got the show accurate one for my 18th bday a couple months back, and damn, if he aint the coolest
Have they done a version of the soundwave?
Part 100 of Toy Guy making my financial decisions for me. I’ve had the OG since it came out but. G I J O E😅😅
I actually still have the original figure, he’s chilling on my shelf.
Bro you're lucky in the area of canada where i live has first editions going for thousands of dollars sealed or opened
Can u put the tent ukulele on the original?
These intros are so funny because they're so random. In the future one of them will be like "this video is for adult collectors because he likes pizza" as if that's an adult exclusive thing
I wished that the apc Soundwave came with the satellite shown in episode 6
Bros got blade wolf tail bits 👌
This deco reminds me Cybertron Sideways
This would go awesome as like a first edition bat to be next to the bats in a G.I. army display.. makes it look like the gijoe b.a.t. is the finished product…
I have around 8 of the original colorways of these...out of the packages of course. So now why are these so valuable?
Very nice to own it at that sale price. Cool!!
It's criminal that he never came in Evangellion colors
are you going to review ss44
So basically Prime Soundblaster
YES finally someone says it!

@@willisjackson7029 I know, but it's so much cooler to call it Prime Soundblaster
In a way, He looks like Cybertron Sideways if he was in Prime.
Wish they would upscale/Masterpiece size these figures
characters i wouldn’t mind seeing in live action
Cordon
Hot Shot
Devcon
Bluestreak
Delta Magnus
Wing
Silverstreak
Armorhide
and Towline
You can use this as a transformer prime sound blaster
I got the FE bumblebee for 10 bucks at value village and it came with lego now that I know how much it’s worth I’m gonna sell it because I would rather either BBM Soundwave or TFA Soundwave or a good amount of the TFA toys
Yo as a request can you do a review for alternators optimums prime pls and if not fine 👌🗿
My sound wave has totally funtional knees, find it weird that yours doesn’t have that, I mean I have the original maybe that
due to his color, I would probably call him Soundblaster
I'd kill for a legacy prime soundwave
Now that's not soundwave that's sound blaster
Am I the only one who wants the Legacy line to remake Prime Soundwave and Airachnid???? Sure they messed up Arcee, and Bulkhead and Knockout are only good to some. But after seeing the Seeker twins and Thundertron, I doubt they'll mess up with someone like Soundwave and Airachnid.
Love this one very nice 👍
These toys were awesome af
If he was a main release I'd name him auditone
You're gonna break those bendy wires bro. Yes there's lots tk do with them, but they have next to no tolerance of how much you can adjust them
Looks more like soundblaster then soundwave. 😅😮😂

Ya but the APC toys are from showz store and it’s from Chiang
Who else thought this was Prime Soundblaster????
Just think of it as Soundblaster instead of Soundwave
i dont know about the apc, but my original figure has a way deeper knee bend.
just bought one
