I have both the HA and the deluxe Soundwaves. Both have their flaws but I don't think I hate one more than the other. HA feet look terrible compared to deluxes. I found transforming the arms on the deluxe to be very fiddly. One arm came off numerous times!! The silver painted deluxe head is a nice touch (there's actually a different head mold in the deluxes instruction photos!!) but does not match the other parts which are that dull Hasbro grey. The fake grill annoys me.....soooo wrong!
