RANDOM SOUNDWAVE EVENT

[soundwavesuperioraf]

Earthspark Soundwave sounds like a MUPPET! I don't hate it. I just can't stop giggling. It's like a British Cookie Monster yelling into an empty cookie jar producing an echo.

[squidthesquidd]

Smol baby soundave if you please?

no continuity specified so i went with g1 :3 BABBYYYYYY he loves puter

[gl1tt3r-gutz-and-r0b0tz-sl]

Hot take, but I think that Bumblebee shouldn't be mute, and Soundave should use the radio voice instead.

Soundwave's whole shtick is radio shit, technology, nerd shit.

He should be able to communicate in both morsecode, that hand communication thingy in Cybertron, sign language, and all the cryptic codes.

He should be able to read minds like he already does.

He should be able to pulse soundwaves into the ground to 'see' every organism both alive and dead in the general vicinity, I'd say like 100 ft.

It also can double as echolocation for Ratbat.

His visor should also have modes like infrared, night vision, things like that.

I suppose we should just make him more tech.

While Shockwave is the first and only sentient A.I. in my au, but I don't think Soundwave should be fully sentient just yet.

I do ship them tho :3

Toys released as part of the War for Cybertron Trilogy toylines usually feature an individualised military insignia, denoting each character’s position in their respective army’s command structure. The three part insignia, delineated by Hasbro here, reveals the character’s Division (Land, Air, Sea, Space), Unit (Infantry, Intelligence, Medic, Engineering, Special Ops, Artillery, Transport), and Rank (General, Major, Captain, Sergeant, Private).   Above is a diagram listing the command structure of all War for Cybertron: Kingdom toys, constructed from original research and using my own photos.

Larger versions of these charts are available here.

Some things to note:

A lot has changed since the last update in this series.  For starters, I have deprivatised these charts onto TFwiki.net, meaning that they are now more widely available for everyone.  A gallery of the insignias themselves is also available.  As noted on my previous post on this topic, the importance of giving each character a rank has diminished over the course of the trilogy, as you can see above.

Notable exclusions: Kingdom diversified its roster to include Maximals and Predacons, none of whom received a rank insignia, and so I have elected not to create a chart merely listing characters that exist outside of the ranking system.  As with Earthrise, concurrent Generations Selects toys were not branded as a specific part of the trilogy, but since there were so few Selects characters this year, I decided to include them... BUT Deep Cover and “G2” Ramjet are not present due to featuring Earthrise-styled instruction booklets, and Transmutate has been excluded for being a Maximal.  As a result, the only Selects characters are Galvatron, Artifre, and Nightstick. Also excluded are Generations lines that spread out from the War for Cybertron Trilogy, none of which feature rank insignias on any part of their packaging: this accounts for the absences of Buzzworthy Bumblebee, Shattered Glass, and “Studio Series 86” characters.

So who got an insignia and who didn’t?  Insignias were exclusive to Deluxe and Voyager Class Autobots and Decepticons, and only then, those that were single packaged – no multipack characters received ranks.  Core Class packaging was apparently deemed too small to include an insignia on the cardback.  Leader and Titan Class boxes largely needed the space to advertise all of each toy’s features, excising the ranks.  This also holds true for characters with additional features, like the Deluxe Class triple changers (Tracks, Road Rage, Slammer) and the cassette-deploying Blaster (and Eject).

Wheeljack and Arcee are both characters from Earthrise who received “packaging refreshes” in Kingdom, and as such carry over their ranks from that toyline.  Of note, Wheeljack’s rank here clears up a goof made over his rank in Earthrise.  Another returning character is Red Alert, who carries over his rank from Siege to his new Earth body; the Siege ranks were presented as being for “characters that haven’t quite yet established themselves or haven’t yet moved into a field they will enter later” – despite this, Red Alert, who turns into a modern Earth Lamborghini, is still a medic and not his conventional function of security director.

Leader Class Optimus Prime is also a packaging refresh, but due to his size class, he does not receive a rank on this showing.  This is also true of his Core Class toy.  Other returning characters to feature new toys but with no insignias include Mirage, Sideswipe, Ultra Magnus, Megatron, Soundwave, and Starscream.

Yes, Cyclonus is the only Decepticon in all of Kingdom to be ranked.  And yes, being a Black Ops Captain puts him one step up from Skywarp...

Hot Rod makes his War for Cybertron Trilogy toy debut here, with no title or rank.  However, Hot Rod had previously appeared in the Siege trading card game, as an Infantry Private (division unknown).

It seems like the next toyline, Legacy, does not feature rank insignias in any form, so this formally brings this project to a close.  You can revisit other updates about these insignias on my blog under the tag #WFC rank project.

Hi could I ask what would happen if TFP Soundwave ended up in G1? I just love how different he looks and how in G1, TFP Soundwave probably looks like if a nightmare gained a physical form. I bet everyone would be so freaked out by his tentacles and how he's an ex gladiator!!!

This… thing that calls itself by the same name as the well known blue Decepticon is quite frankly, terrifying. Soundwave is an oddity with his spindly frame and constant silence. He becomes a sort of boogeyman for Autobots and Decepticons alike. He just… not right.

[sirgawainofgalifrey]

Starscream canonically considers the cassettes Soundwave's children.

[strange-doll-child]

Could you do a Friday Night Funkin version of TFP Soundwave or TFA Blitzwing?

OKAY- Sorry about the late response my friend but HERE YA' GO!

Hope this works! Oh! And the songs of course: Glitcher, Onslaught, and Genocide

(Yes, I am aware the bow is not doing the glowy thing, I lost just- Too much detail TwT)

(Edit: Okay, I just remembered- AY’ YO, @le-vec I FINALLY MADE ‘EM)

[writingtoomuchtrash]

Ravage

Megatron glared at Soundwave, not bothering to look at the organic creature in his arm. Like always Soundwave showed no emotions on his screen face, just staring up at Megatron. Neither budged, as they stared each other down, or attempted to. Deep down, Megatron knew he was trying to fight a lost battle, there was no way he could tell Soundwave to return the creature back to his home, not when he knew Soundwave had named it. Megatron sighed, rubbing the space between his optics, his other hand on his hip.

“What did you name it?” He asked, staring at Soundwave through his fingers. Soundwave looked down at the creature before looking back up at Megatron.

“Her... name is… Ravage,” Soundwave said, holding Ravage up to Megatron, his screen having a smiley face on it.

Extriverse Soundfam

The tale of Soundwave seeing young bots and ADOPTED.

Rumble and Frenzy? Too young to be in this wild shit, don’t they have parental units? THEY DO NOW.

Laserbeak and Ravage? How could Megatron have done this to you two? I will protect and love you and ADOPTED

Galvatron? Oh my god I’ve been such an asshole to him he just has mental health issues and chronic pain and also someone to look out for and after him and ADOPTED.

Top five alt modes? :0 from any continuity

I hate cars so much

5.- Rewind turning into a data stick: do you have any idea how funny it is to info dump people about one of my favorite characters ever and then tell them he turns into a USB?

4.- Megatron's Northrop Grumman B-2: Okay, I truly hate to admit this because I kinda hate Megatron's stealth bomber body because I don't like that's so OP, makes no sense and ruins balance. Also like, I fucking hate to glorify real war machines. But it is a sexy body and it is a very cool alt mode okay??? It looks like a manta ray and it's a stealth plane and it is cool!! I hate myself.

3.- Megatron turning into any variation of a gun: I hate guns but like, this is so poignant. Either he's a killing machine turned against his creators or he made himself a killing machine. But a gun is far more personal than a vehicle with rockets installed. It also lends itself to highly homoerotic interactions with whoever is wielding him.

2.- Primus and Unicron when they turn into planets: Literally that's so fucking cool. A step above Transformers that turn into cities. Whether Primus isa god or was made, you are all miniature imitations of the very ground you walk in. Your planet is alive and it loves you, it loves you, right? Well this other planet certainly doesn't. There's so much potential for Cybertron/Primus as an eldritch location.

1.- G1 Soundave turning into a cassete deck: Hasbro stop being fucking cowards and bring this back. You will never top this.

Voyager Class

Soundwave

by Hasbro (2021)

I got this in late May 2021 for my 41st birthday (yea I know, I’m old) and I’m super, SUPER backlogged. I’m trying to catch up, I really am.

Tape deck mode:

Yup, it looks like a tape deck to me! Moving on!!!

Okay, so fine, just to go into a little more detail. Netflix Soundwave is a heavy retool of Siege Soundwave, however instead of turning into a spaceship of sorts, he turns into his Earth mode; a tape deck from the 1980s.

As a blue brick the tape deck serves its purpose.

Yes, the back is a mess. It looks better without the guns attached to it, but still it’s pretty janky.

The cassette window can still open and close via a spring-loaded button and you can put his cassette goons inside.

My only complaint about this toy is that this one panel to the left of the cassette window just won’t stay locked down, and I can’t stop looking at it. I’m not sure what the problem is, but it won’t stay closed.

Transformation:

Transformation isn’t much of a challenge at all. In fact it’s very similar to the original G1 toy. Not exactly the same,but a little bit.

Robot Mode:

Earthrise Soundwave is definitely an improvement of the Siege version.

He stands well, and poses well; I’m not seeing any quality control issues.

Soundwave can perform the one-foot balance challenge. It took a little bit of work, but I did it.

Soundwave’s got a lot of 5mm ports, so he can weapon-ed, or armored up; 14 ports in all. Pretty nice.

And of course Soundwave wear all of his minions on his 5mm ports.

Of course Soundwave’s gun can use the blast effects.

Laserbeak:

Earthrise Laserbeak has some some slight retooling too, the head is a vulture, and the wings are different to help represent a more G1 earth mode. It works, and I dig it.

Ravage:

I’m just not a fan of this Ravage.

I think Siege and Earthrise Ravages are just ugly figures. Maybe it’s because they’re so small, and were built for the retail market they both looks like that. Maybe the budget just wasn’t in it for Ravage.

Fortunately I still have my 2008 Ravage from the TF Universe line who was paired with Hound, thought I’m pretty sure the casette tape will be too big for Earthrise Soundwave’s chest.

Accessories:

Along with two of his cassette warriors Soundave comes with the same weapons as the Siege version did; Soundwaves blaster, concussion launcher, and...folding gun? Still have no idea what that thing is.

It’s a gun, and then unfolds to a stick...

I don’t even think Soundwave has any idea what it is...

I suppose Soundwave could use that gun as a handle and the concussion launcher as a hammer?

Final Thoughts:

Netflix Earthrise Soundwave is definitely a step up from the Siege version.

The tape deck does have the tab which just won’t stay down, and that stinks, but I’m willing to overlook that.

Still not a fan of Ravage, but I like Laserbeak. All-in-all the pros outweigh the cons in my opinion of Earthrise Soundwave, and I’m happy that I have him.

Siege & Earthrise Soundwave

It’s nice to see Soundwave with the kids.

[elindae-writes]

megatron the horse girl

you read the title correctly

I think Megatron would be a good horse girl. I mean, horse warlord. You know what I mean.

He would play one of those virtual MMORPGs meant for middle-school girls.

Soundwave glides into his lord's bedroom. A bright pink glow shines from Megatron's desktop.

"soundwave," Megatron rasps. Perhaps he has finally seen reason, ended this pathetic stream, and has now returned to being the warlord Soundwave wanted to follow in the first place.

He comes up behind Megatron's computer and--wait. What is that on the screen?

"soundwave. what do i name her"

There is a vivid pink virtual horse upon the screen. It's eating grass.

Soft music is playing from the game.

"MY LORD?"

"well?" Megatron scoffs. "my new horse needs a name. star... star... moon. lord. is warlord a name option? why is warlord not a name option in this fourteen year-old girl's cartoon game? scrap."

Megatron clip clops around in a lush virtual green field. Soundwave squints at Megatron's username.

"MEGAN KINGTHRONE?"

"that is i."

Other users instantly swarm around Megatron's character. A user named "Stella Stardawn" trots up to Megatron. She's on the same horse Megatron is.

"copycat," Megatron hisses.

"want to role-play?" Stella asks.

Megatron gasps. "i must swiftly establish myself as the leader of the herd."

A high-pitched scream pierces the air.

Megatron holds down the right mouse button and shifts the in-game camera. He then looks around in reality. "did my horse scream? that was not in-game. who screamed. soundwave, who screamed?"

Soundwave grits his dentae behind his mask. He can't afford to let another scream loose.

"well. anyway." Megatron swivels back around in his office chair and rubs his servos together as he rapidly types. "you shall be brought low and utterly vanquished upon this cartoon ranch"

"wanna race?" Stella types.

Soundwave knows a trap when he hears it. Years of mastering the art of deception in warfare have prepared Soundwave for this moment.

He slaps Megatron's wrist.

"NO"

"soundwave"

"N O"

"goddamnit soundwave get your own horse"

He rolls his office chair over to block Soundwave from the gamer keyboard setup. Megatron then rubs his servos together again like a fruit fly and settles into his chair. A bright green star-shaped timer counts down as "Megan" and Stella line up side by side. Stella's virtual low-res and low poly face smugly stares through the screen.

A tinny trumpet toot noise blasts from the speakers as the 16 frames-per-second horsegirl race begins.

"your horse sucks!!" Megatron types in. He's riding the same kind of horse Stella is.

Stella begins to effortlessly jump over the 3D hurdles.

Megatron's character crashes into a 2D bush.

"no. NO. stel is pulling ahead! jesus fucking christ!" Megatron rapidly smacks and slaps the clonky keys as much as his shaking sweat-covered talons possibly can. "get off your hindquarters, moonbeam!"

Soundwave gently places both his servos together and holds them up to his faceplate. He looks as if he's praying. Maybe he is.

"WHO. WHO IS MOONBEAM?"

"MY HORSE, soundwave, my HORSE" Megatron begins coughing and hacking uncontrollably. "no!" Megatron drags both of his intensely shaking servos down either side of his helm. "i am the lord of both earth and star stable!"

Stella finishes the race and then turns around to face "Megan."

"MEGAN KINGTHRONE HAS FALLEN AND I STELLA STARDAWN NOW LEAD THE STARSHINE RANCH HORSE HERD"

The other users come in again and begin to neigh and clip clop around Megatron's character. Megan Kingthrone is now glitching as she clips in and out of a virtual bush.

"soundwave they're surrounding me. soundwave. soundwave they're HARASSING me. how dare they encircle their lord with their ponies."

Megatron slams his fist down onto his desk and several Beanie Babies topple over. "soundwave! upright the beanies!"

Soundwave silently steps forward and grabs a plush penguin. He stares into its large bead eyes. It lets out a squeak as Soundwave grips it.

"soundwave. my loyal third in command. upright. the beanie."

Moonbeam begins grazing.

Soundave, slowly, very slowly, as if placing down a bomb, gently places the beanie upright.

"stella stardawn," Megatron rasps. "my new archnemesis! ah. besides Optimus Prime, that is. track down her IP."

Soundwave turns around, walks out into the hall, and then kicks Starscream's door open.

Starscream is crouched down over a laptop and is rapidly clacking on the tiny keyboard.

Soundwave's voice thunders.

"S T E L L A"

Stella screams.

[yes-i-write-fanfiction]

After reading the third part of gi feral baby Soundave au, a certain image came to my head: Soundwave being an absolute menace and hating everybody on the Arc, except for Bumblebee. Who whe clings to like a touched starved koala, and no one has any idea why, but Bumblebee is not going to complain.

One hour. That’s how long they had managed to keep little baby Soundwave under control. For one hour, he’d been nothing but a little angel, silent and calm. But then Bumblebee had to leave to go do something and then it took Perceptor exactly 13 minutes and twelve seconds to lose track of him.

At first the autobots hadn’t worried, after all, what harm could a sparkling possibly do? Then the power had gone and the bots came to the frightening realization that perhaps they had underestimated young Soundwave.

Two hours passed until they eventually found and apprehended the sparkling. Hound had found him about to rip out the wires to communications but was luckily able to stop him before the sparkling could succeed. The damage that had been done... was immense. Most of the computers were down, all the doors glitching and a part of the ark even on fire. Was little Soundwave remorseful? Nope, not at all. Currently, he was in the strong but gentle hands of Optimus Prime, kicking his legs and squirming violently in an effort to break free. But Optimus wouldn’t let go, no, he had learned his mistake.

“I told you!” Red Alert said, pointing accusingly at little Soundwave (or maybe Optimus?), a hint of smug satisfaction in his voice. “I told you that he would sabotage the Ark! But did anyone listen to me? No, you just went “oh he’s little sparkling, what could he do?” and look what happened!”

Optimus sighed and lowered his head in defeat. “Yes, Red Alert, you were right. I’m sorry that I didn’t listen to your concerns.” Turning Soundwave around in his hands to that they would be face to face, Optimus changed his tone to that of a disappointed parent. “And you, young mech, do you have any idea the amount of damage you’ve done and how much trouble you’re in?” Soundwave wasn’t even listening, looking away the whole time and just continuing to squirm.

Seeing this, Red Alert started pointing and shouting again. “He clearly doesn’t care, Prime! Obviously, he’s still very much a decepticon, despite his reduced size, and we need to treat him as such! That’s why I have had a cell prepared just for him!”

Now, despite the damage little Soundwave had caused, Optimus couldn’t help but feel that this was still the wrong thing to do. The TIC was still a sparkling after all and just imagining a child behind bars made him feel sick. Because of this he held Soundwave close, hugging the sparkling protectively despite the kicks that landed on him.

“Surely there has to be a better alternative, Red Alert? Something that doesn’t involve putting him in a cell?”

“Well unless you can find a way to keep the little saboteur in check then I don’t think there is one!”

Suddenly, there was the sound of the door opening and into the room walked none other than Bumblebee, who had been away the entire time Soundwave had been rampaging through the Ark. “Optimus, I heard what happened from Jazz, is there anything-” Bee’s words were interrupted by a sudden loud wail. It was Soundwave, who up until that moment had not made a single sound. The little sparkling was reaching out towards Bumblebee, making grabby hands, all while whining like a sad puppy.

Looking at Soundwave, then at Bumblebee, then back at Soundwave again, Optimus had an idea. Before Red Alert could have the chance to protest, the Prime put the sparkling down on the floor and immediately he rushed towards Bumblebee, hugging his legs as soon as they came within his reach. “Well” Optimus said, voice full of warmth, “I think I’ve found the solution to the problem.”

Bumblebee, still out of the loop, gave Optimus a confused stare as he bent down to pick up Soundwave. “Uhm, what do you mean, Optimus?”

“When you were looking after him, Soundwave was completely calm but when you left, he must have panicked and caused this mayhem in an effort to find you. Now that you’re back he’s calm again. That’s why, from now on until we find a way to turn him back to normal, you’re going to stay by his side no matter what.”

“You can’t be serious!” Red Alert exclaimed. “That’s your solution?”

“As long as Bumblebee agree with it, yes. What do you think, Bumblebee?”

Bee looked down at Soundwave, who was now resting his little helmet against his chest plates, having fallen asleep, and felt his spark warm at the adorable sight. “Aww, ok Optimus, I’ll do it. Heh, lil bugger is lucky he’s so cute.”

Optimus smiled at the sight of his comrade holding the sleeping sparkling, all while Red Alert was silently screaming next to him. Was he the only sane bot in the Ark???

BLASTER & EJECT ( Voyager ) Generations LEGACY

Uno dei primi modelli in vendita della nuova linea Generations Legacy, un po' in anticipo rispetto al resto della prima wave, è ironicamente pure l'ultimo della linea precedente, con un distacco di un paio di mesi, ovvero il buon BLASTER G1, uscito come colpo di coda nell'ultimissima wave del finale della trilogia di War for Cybertron, laddove nelle prime immagini promozionali della nuova linea del 2022 appariva in mezzo agli altri protagonisti di Legacy.

Che poi, pare ridondante specificare che sia un G1, dato che non è che il nostrano Radiorobot abbia chissà quali famosi doppelganger nelle altre serie dei Transformers, ma Legacy è pur sempre una linea “frittomisto”, come già Universe 2.0 per il 25° anniversario del brand e Generations Thrillin'30, e Blaster quindi è idealmente un buon ponte fra le due serie.

Infatti, fra le regole non scritte dei Transformers c'è quella che recita "se esce un Soundave, aspettati a breve termine pure un Blaster!", regola instaurata dopo svariati repaint reciproci che legano i due personaggi, dai Fall of Cybertron a Titans Return. Ed infatti, dopo il Soundwave Siege e quello esclusivo Netflix, eravamo tutti ad aspettare l'ennesimo remold in Blaster, magari proprio per Kingdom.

Ed invece, sorpresa, questo Blaster ha uno stampo nuovo nuovo, e lo si evince subito dall'altezza del ROBOT, fedele ai settei dei G1 originali del cartone, che lo vedeva alto quanto un Optimus Prime, e quindi svettare di una testa sopra al "piccolo" Memor WfC.

Il look di questo nuovo Generations è ovviamente quello iconico G1, ibridato fra il giocattolo del 1985 ed il settei, che rispetto al primo sbagliava la posizione delle braccia non ruotandole all'esterno di 90°, spostando quindi dettagli come gli adesivi sulle spalle e le linguette di scorrimento dei pugni all'esterno, mentre qui questi dettagli vengono fusi assieme.

La faccia invece è quella del cartone, linda e pulita, senza il visore dei fumetti Marvel Usa, look questo ispirato a quella che, nel giocattolo, è praticamente una mascherina aperta alla Optimus Primal, per capirci.

Anche le proporzioni del corpo sono diverse dal settei, essendo più proporzionato rispetto a come appariva nel cartone, con due gambone ed un lungo stomaco rispetto ad un torso ristretto ed alla testa un po' schiacciata ( qui invece la testa è un po' troppo allungata, ma ok ).

Blaster è un Generations recente fatto e finito, grazie ai numerosi fori per armi sparsi sul corpo nei soliti punti strategici ( ben 3 dietro la schiena, poi ), e le solite articolazioni standard, tranne che per la rotazione dei polsi, assente al solito per via della trasformazione, ma con un bel dettaglio sulla mano destra, scolpita col dito indice aperto a simulare il gesto che faceva nei cartoni quando si premeva da solo i tasti sull'addome ( cosa già vista nei vari Soundwave ma sulla mano sinistra per il pulsante sulla spalla ).

Ed infatti immancabile è la gimmick di poter aprire il vano sul petto per eiettare le sue fedeli cassette robot, e mai verbo fu più azzeccato, dato che, oltre allo storico fucilone nero, come accessorio abbiamo inoltre EJECT, uno dei due cassettebot umanoidi di Blaster, arrivato a fargli compagnia nel 1986.

Eject è compatibile con le precedenti cassettine "Micromaster" di Soundwave WfC, e viceversa, solo che non ha una spina da 5mm estraibile come i Minion Decepticon, ma invece ha due fori ai lati delle braccia che diventano gli effettivi fori della cassetta, esattamente come l'originale G1, e sarà forse perchè la TRASFORMAZIONE è praticamente quella. Catapulta Legacy poi risulta pure più articolato di un Rumble e/o Frenzy WfC, avendo  la possibilità di piegare i gomiti e ruotare gli avambracci: per quanto compatibili, quindi, Eject è un nuovo modo di fare i Cassettebot, ed il fatto che abbiano annunciato Rumble ( o Frenzy... ) come Core Class per Studio Series fa pensare ad una eventuale nuova riproposizione degli scagnozzi di Memor.

( visto che ha i fori per le armi sulle braccia, peccato che non l'abbiano dotato di un paio di pistole gemelle come il G1, a sto punto, ma vabbè )

Concludiamo l'excursus su Eject sottolineando come sia fedele al G1, con la faccia con gli occhietti del settei e non il visore del giocattolo, a parte magari gli avambracci non grigi ma del colore principale, che nell'originale era solo blu mentre ora è invece azzurro trasparente, dato che hanno praticamente unito l'utile al dilettevole per Blaster, dandogli l'accessorio / arma in plastica trasparente in più come tutti i vari Legacy nella forma di uno dei suoi Cassettebot, e diciamo che la cosa può starci, piuttosto che magari non avere nessuno dei suoi "scagnozzi" ... oppure potevano mettergli due altoparlanti ( rigorosamente in plastica trasparente ) da mettere sulle mani come appariva nei cartoni animati! :D

Ma torniamo a Blaster ed alla sua TRASFORMAZIONE in radio, che è praticamente come quella del G1 ma con qualche spunto interessante in più, come le casse sugli stinchi che ruotano, le braccia che si accorciano lasciando fuori i pugni, ed il bacino che ruota prima di lasciare che le gambe si alzino lateralmente ad unirsi al resto del corpo.

C'è poco da dire sulla finta RADIO che diventa, che è una modalità alternativa decisamente anacronistica per i nostri tempi, ma che di sicuro farà la felicità dei fan adulti che conoscono il personaggio, con qualche miglioria a livello di dettagli scolpito e dipinto, come la parte centrale tutta rossa senza le parti basse di quelle che nel G1 erano le cosce, fra le altre cose.

Per fortuna che c'è la gimmick del vano mangiacassette che si apre e con tanto di finto cassettina all'interno, sempre per il discorso di quanto fuori moda possa essere questo giocattolo, per un bimbo di oggigiorno, ma per noi ex bimbi di un tempo è una gioia per gli occhi! Infine, il fucile può sistemarsi dietro la radio, anche se pare solo appoggiato e sarebbe stato più utile nasconderlo meglio, volendo, ma vabbè, non tiriamo troppo la corda.

Insomma, un bel robot evocativo dei tempi che furono, per la sua modalità alternativa, ma comunque giocabile e ben fatto, con l'aggiunta del partner Cassettebot che aggiunge carisma e giocabilità al buon vecchio Radiorobot... e chissà che nella sua versione repaint Twincast, già annunciata, non mettano Rewind a fargli compagnia. ^^
