Transformers G1 Soundwave Modern Icons Replica Helmet In Hand Images

under Generation 1, Non-Transforming

Courtesy of 2005 Board member Ultra Reverb we can share for you our first in-hand images of the new Transformers G1 Soundwave Modern Icons replica helmet. 

Originally scheduled for release by February 2022, this seems to be a very nice helmet with a retro G1 style packaging, LED light-up eyes and a very nice finishing and inner details. It also features the following phrases/sounds:

  • “Megatron, what are your orders.”
  • “My sensors indicate we are no longer alone.”
  • “Autobots detected.”
  • “All talk, no shock.”
  • “As you command, Megatron.”

While this item is no available for purchase anymore, you can click on the bar to see the mirrored images on this news post. Let us know your impressions on the 2005 Boards!

Mine just arrived 30 minutes ago. It has nice metallic blue paint but the spraying is splotchy and dry-sprayed in some spots. There's also multiple blemishes – nicks in the paint, scuffs, sprue marks, that make this feel like a rushed release. Maybe I just got a lemon. Also the curve where the right side of the "nose" of the face plate meets the visor is choppy/cut rough/maybe dented. I'm debating on contacting Gamestop for a replacement or return.

On the plus side, the voice sounds authentic and phrases are:

"Megatron, what are your orders."
"My sensors indicate we are no longer alone."
"Autobots detected."
"All talk, no shock."
"As you command, Megatron."

However "Soundwave superior" seems like the most obvious omission… and maybe some cassette deployment commands instead of two Megatron quotes.

Defintly won't worry about wearing it out on Halloween. Scuffs, scratches, overspray.
QC is definitely an issue. We're OP & Megs like this?

A little disappointing that you'd have to order this without hands-on photos or better details. I looked at it when it announced, and wanted to wait for better photos or reviews…but now it's not available anymore.

One job! They had ONE JOB!

This is the best of all the helmets. Soundwave's voice is the best voice out of the whole series to copy in a helmet. This thing rules.

Oh come on how could that forget to add his most iconic line “Soundwave superior, Autobots inferior” that’s a sin [​IMG]

I was thinking the same thing.

Well, damn. I'm assuming that if we hadn't pre-ordered ages ago, we're SoL now huh? Have to wait and watch GameStop's site I guess.

Looks completely awesome, but this is not 1:1 scale! If it was it would be like the size of a dumpster.
