    The problem with Transformers is that the robot modes are never in scale and neither are the vehicle modes......

    Whats a scale-fanatic to do?

    I have to say, I prefer how the Voyager Bulkhead looks compared to the Leader class one. Leader class one is still nice with better size, voice and Headmaster gimmick, but Voyager one just looks and feels so right (with the wrecking ball as well).

    hey..just read in the allspark forum that Animated Soundwave has some QC problems
    http://www.allspark.com/forums/index...opic=48336&hl=

    Ouch. I just noticed that Soundwave's roof stripes had started to crack like bad Transmetal chrome. Then I discovered that they smoothed right out when I rubbed them, leaving barely any sign of the breaks. Weird.

    ...and then I saw the blue paint all over my fingers and the multiple spots where the base paint had come right off off the edges of his roof.

    It looks like his paint-over-clear parts are subject to the same gradual softening as some people's Prowls. That must have caused the lighter blue details to buckle a bit, but the base coat was soft enough to smooth them back down.

    So ye few, ye proud, ye Soundwave-finders out there...

    ...be careful!

    QC issue aside, Animated Soundwave is a very good toy.
