Title:
Soundwave Missing Gun Gobots
Description:
Soundwave (Go-Bot, 1995)
Accessories: Gun
A redeco of the Go-Bot Gearhead, Soundwave transforms into a NASCAR-style Ford Thunderbird stock car with precision wheels and wire axles, compatible with "Hot Wheels” and "Matchbox” playsets and tracks (which he was properly sized to fit). His exceptionally loud color scheme, being composed of bright shades of fluorescent yellow, pink and blue, is one of the few times fans can actually get away with describing a toy as "neon”.
Soundwave was one of only three Go-Bots released in Japan by Takara, on a normal Hasbro card with stickers over key parts to add Japanese text to the mix. The other two releases, Optimus Prime and Megatron, were not too heavily altered, aside from the addition of Soundwave’s distinctive large "T” hood deco to their own bonnets, but Soundwave himself was significantly altered: while his car shell remains fluorescent yellow, his internal parts are the same as the opaque version of his predecessor, Gearhead.
This mold was also used to make various versions of Robots in Disguise W.A.R.S. and the Universe incarnation of Camshaft. It was planned to be used to make Generation 2 Greasepit, but that toy was canceled.
This toy was later repurposed to be a "next-generation” clone of Soundwave.
