SOUNDWAVE
This is one rare piece of Transformers from the Dark of The Moon (DOTM) series. It took me some time to hunt for it & but I was fortunate enough to have picked this toy up at one of the specialty stores. In the first & second Transformers movie, Soundwave was in the guise of a satellite. The third installment shows Soundwave battling alongside the other Decepticons on earth, in the form of a sleek Mercedes SLS AMG.
Close up view of the front and read.
Soundwave's Mechtech weapon looks like a giant bazooka with the tip looking like a face of a blow fish. Once you flip it backwards the weapon turns into a huge radar dish. At the roof of the Mercedes, there are slots on either sides for you to insert the weapon.
Initially, transformation wasn't easy because I had trouble slotting the shoulder in snugly. As you can see, this bot looks really bad-ass. There is no issue in terms of stability even though the gun looks heavy & over sized.
In robot mode, both shoulders have pegs for you to insert the blaster. That way Soundwave looks more like the G1 version.
There isn't much you can do about posing this bot but I still like it because of the details given. Since I'm starting to run out of space, it's best that I wrap this dude up & place him in the graveyard for safe keeping.
