these are less transformers and a character driven effort by Hasbro to break into the hotwheels market. at least as far as I can tell. I do like the detail in the vehicles though.

Now owning both RPMs Soundwave and SS Soundwave, I noticed that not only is the SS version missing 6 paint apps, but is also missing the interior plastic componant that forms the seats, dashbord, and stearing wheel. The SS version is just a hollow car... so get the RPMs version if you want this figure, and area able to find one.
