For $10 and if I was a younger kid this is freakin worth it And yah know what? I think I will get one of these for my little cousin who i am making a transformers fan
My theory on why Hasbro created this line is to get some "prime" shelf real estate to compete with those M.A.R.S. transformers from #HappyToyKid at local Walgreens, Ross, T.J. Maxx etc. I see a lot of potential in customs TF's with Soundwave!
Yea I don't think they want 3rd party transformers showing up as cheap alternatives here so they make these. And by 3rd party..i'm talking about what..i guess people call 4th party here. It's weird because I always thought of Cyberverse occupying that space but I guess it's meant to be a more 'upmarket' brand than for young kids.
The robot mode design and the vehicle mode remind me of the RiD15 Soundwave...but the boxy look also reminds me of both the Animated Soundwave and the WFC/FoC Soundwave. Too bad they didn't at least include a Laserbeak or a Ravage to go with him.
@@TMan978 True that. And despite the hollow cutout, they did his gun justice (NOT just recasting Blaster's gun in a different color, like they did with Titans Return)
@@TMan978 not really an option for me. That costs 4x the original price in my country. So yeah, this one definitely gonna be my CHUG soundwave instead.
I'm loving the channel, man. I just purchased the Soundwave for $10, assuming that I wouldn't get the bang for my buck and I am fortunately disappointed. The plastic quality is pretty well done, the articulation, while very basic, does everything that it needs to to be a modern action figure, and, to be honest, I have little interest in the Siege or Earthrise Soundwave, because I don't like the so-called alt modes. For me, and in my adult collection, this will serve as a solid earth form for Soundwave. Definitely recommended.
i never knew that they had a transformers authentics soundwave which means there should be a shockwave coming soon or something also i am the first to watch and comment
@jgfjgfify you could have made a separate comment instead of commenting in a previous comment. I'd still reply. I would keep the blue one because that's Soundwave.
I saw this figure in the store, and since I never saw this specific figure stocked ever (but i knew it existed) i sprung the $10 and bought it, and i can say, its way better than just about every other figure in the line, maybe megatron comes close but this guy comes with more accessories and slightly better poseability, to me its worth every penny I paid for it, PS: love the voice!
Awesome review as always and thanks for revealing the name of this line as I couldn't find it for the life of me! I went and scooped up some of the figures in the line and they're definitely helpful in padding out the collection!
Unfortunately no "Family Dollar" equivalent here in Canada. There was some Authentics at our Canadian Tire, but that was for Xmas so unlikely to see my boy Soundwave anytime soon.
These are great for filling out your display of G1-inspired characters quickly and cheaply. Okay, with most of them you're going to want to replace them with Siege or Earthrise versions when you can afford to but I'll be honest - I have the Authentics Alpha Class Megatron on my shelf and every time I look at the Siege/Earthrise versions I just think that for the money they don't look that much better. I think I'm going to keep him in there. He's a bit taller than my Siege Optimus who I have him displayed with but Megatron is supposed to be a little bit taller, right?
Man, T-man, if you have a EBay account and you want to do a fellow Transformer lover a favor, I would really appreciate you finding one of these for me to buy. I'm willing to give you double the money for the trouble so lmk it that's possible!

Mars converters are way better
Not bad at all for a budget figure. Makes you wonder why they're not introducing decent Legends class figures in the main line right now.
It probably has to do with the Takara partnership. I think this is a Hasbro only project
@@TMan978 That makes a lot of sense, then.
Isnt earthrise cliffjumper technically a legends class figure?
@@ratbat1072 actual 10 dollar figures
They would, if they were still doing strictly Generations Transformers, but when it's a sub-line with a shared characteristic and/or gimmick...
Seems worth the price! Waaay better than those Cyberverse 1-Step that are the same price!
Truth!
Eject Arm, Eject! That is pretty good for $10.
Lol
not bad for 10 buckz good toy for a kid just getting into transformers
I was just happy to see a new larger Starscream Authentics, but Soundwave, too?!? Awesome! Awesome review TMan978!
They may not be the best figures but the authentics line toys are adorable
I gotten this today at work and happy to have him in my collection of transformers but I will be painting him up to make him look better lol
Thanks because the aesthetic of this toy amazed me it doesn't look that bad. Turns out I'm right so I'm gonna buy this next time I guess

For ten bucks we're lucky we got to accessories
@@TMan978 True that. And despite the hollow cutout, they did his gun justice (NOT just recasting Blaster's gun in a different color, like they did with Titans Return)
I agree. I bought mine today and added more paint to it. The plastic is better than the others.
Great review so there upping the quality of those that's cool
He's perfect with earthrise decepticons.
With a good paint job, this would look good as a CHUG alternative, I'm gonna do just that when I finally get mine!
Nah. Just by the Netflix version
@@TMan978 not really an option for me. That costs 4x the original price in my country. So yeah, this one definitely gonna be my CHUG soundwave instead.

But earthrise is a cassette player! A super G1 accurate cassette player! come oooon
These transformers authentics give me gas.
all my thumbs ups are belong to you!

@@TMan978 no problem TMan978
@@jgfjgfify soundblaster is g1 cartoon continuity accurate because he is soundwave after being upgraded.
@jgfjgfify you could have made a separate comment instead of commenting in a previous comment.

Get a mixture of Authentics and Cyber Battalion. If you are into size accuracy with the figures, your collection will be unique
I dig him. He kinda gives me a WFC vibe.
The best Cyberverse Soundwave does exist

Thanks. The plastic is amazing for 10 bucks
I'm looking into buying it.
I already have Wheeljack from the same toy line and i love it.
I cannot find wheel jack or Arcee to save my life
@@TMan978 i live in Canada.
I found my Wheeljack in a store named "Rossy". Paid under 20$ taxes included.
This is a great figure. I live outside the US and I can't seem to find this one anywhere on the web.
I hope you find it
I'm going to use this as my Cyberverse Soundwave since I absolutely HATE the Cyberverse warrior class Soundwave
Gotta admit, notta bad looking Soundwave figure! …Might hafta make em’ mines!😊
Awesome review as always and thanks for revealing the name of this line as I couldn't find it for the life of me! I went and scooped up some of the figures in the line and they're definitely helpful in padding out the collection!
If you're holding the package in your hand if you look at the side where your right hand is it says Transformers Authentics
@@TMan978 Thanks. lol
I have Wheeljack.
Gonna buy 5 more and I'll modify them with an extra ball joint so i can turn them into a combiner.
He'll be named "Authenticity".
Unfortunately no "Family Dollar" equivalent here in Canada. There was some Authentics at our Canadian Tire, but that was for Xmas so unlikely to see my boy Soundwave anytime soon.
Not a bad looking robot mode at all, great review!
Again, great review!
I actually like this version of Soundwave more than the Siege version. Hasbro didn't skim on the production specs for this toy.
Thanks for watching. I wouldn't go that far. He's definitely not as fun to pose
@@TMan978 Yes, articulation isn't the greatest.
Still waiting on SoundWave in Orlando. I got Grimlock, Bumblebee Starscream and Ratchet.
This is definitely my favorite Authentics figure.
I just have to say one thing, he is good for making a leader class g1 homage version ironhide custom.
For $10 to $12 Dollars Great figure.Vehicle mode is solid. A+ Hasbro.
Epic review TMan978!!!!!!! :D Soundwave looks great, and I had no idea it was this size. :D Keep on being amazing, Double Thumbs Up. ;D
Thank you
@@TMan978 You're welcome. :D
Cool figure 😀
my kid would love it
👀
Did you find it at Walgreens?
Family Dollar
Grear figure
As always, Soundwave Superior.
Not bad for $10...
Pretty nifty. Getting alot 4 ten bucks. Did u get my response on that link u sent me. That shit was fire. Anyway chill review. 💯 my bruh.
I did not. UA-cam notifications suck now
@@TMan978 huh , I thought that was u that sent me the link on the video game
@@levogerstevenson4561 I did
This is surprisingly decent!
I got mine for $5!
Awesome
Did you get these off of eBay? Or at family dollar stores
Family Dollar.
Wow did you only go to one store or many to find them?
I’m in Virginia so does this mean they are all hitting all family dollars everywhere possibly?
With reprolabels they could be really awesome toys for my son.
These are great for filling out your display of G1-inspired characters quickly and cheaply.

I think I'm going to keep him in there. He's a bit taller than my Siege Optimus who I have him displayed with but Megatron is supposed to be a little bit taller, right?
it's always has been inconsistent
No wonder I can never find them. They aren't released in Asia. By the way it's me. Zlin Toys
not too bad
🙂👍🏿📽
👍🏿
Man, T-man, if you have a EBay account and you want to do a fellow Transformer lover a favor, I would really appreciate you finding one of these for me to buy.
I'm willing to give you double the money for the trouble so lmk it that's possible!
I need to create an eBay store. But currently, this was the only one that was on the peg in family Dollar
@@TMan978Ok cool. Well if you do and you find another, lmk please
This is pretty good for a cheap figure imo, sadly I couldn't find it in my country. Soundwaves are pretty rare here
That's weird.
@@TMan978 I can't find like Siege, Netflix or even Core Class Soundwave here lol
