Thoughts...
* It's almost a whole new mould, but does recycle the arms and upper legs from Dark of the Moon SS Soundwave.
* Overall colour palette is rather dull; the original ROTF Deluxe toy is much nicer looking. Even from a screen-likeness POV it's not as nice as the DOTM SS figure as they've used mostly grey instead of silver.
* The robot arms have nowhere to go in satellite mode and detract from the look of that mode in general. The rest of the satellite is reasonably screen-accurate (as silly as it looked on film). But yeah... those arms.
* This toy has also sacrificed the Ravage-missile firing gimmick from the original and replaced it with... uh... nothing. At least DOTM SS Soundwave replaced the MechTech gimmick with a Laserbeak figurine.
* As mentioned before, the upper legs are just reused from the DOTM figure... which means that it has Mercedes Benz faux-kibble on them, including the fuel cap! I understand that this version of Soundwave never showed his robot mode on film, but we also know that he was this satellite before he became a Mercedes.

Overall: I cannot really recommend this toy. Just stick with your original ROTF Soundwave.
