If you could choose only one...

I also really like how Soundwave's weapons become his batteries.

If only they found a way to get the missles in a storage of some sort, prolly in his legs, he would totally be self contained ei? Oh well, he's still quite impressive after all these years.

@ Tets... Wife didn't even seem to mention anything .. sugoi or otherwise?

The level of self containment is mightily impressive for a 1984 toy. The only other toy in that year that could arguably rival it would be Optimus Prime, although the alt mode officially has no place to put the fists (but I always put them in the driver compartment - I prided myself on _never_ having lost my original Prime's fists (ditto landing gears for the jets that I put in their cockpits)). Of course those compartments were really intended for Diaclone drivers... as far as intended self containment is concerned, Prime and Soundwave are about equal; but I'd personally rate Soundwave better because I'd rather lose missiles than lose fists.

Everyone I know would store the fists that way, myself included. It just made sense. The only part that ever went missing on me was one of Sideswipe's missiles. Some might say that 'it's OK, you've still got the other two', but that wasn't good enough for me so... I bought another
