Japanese release date: 2012-04-28
Series Prime / Number: 1 / 004
Japanese ID number: AM-09
Accessories: Laserbeak, Arms Micron "Zori” (TakaraTomy only)Part of the first wave of Prime: Robots in Disguise toys, Soundwave transforms from a UAV not unlike the Predator B drone into an angular batlike robot mode. His transformation includes a spring-loaded head that deploys automatically when his tail and thrust bottle are folded up. His vehicle mode has a 5mm port on the top of its fuselage; the robot also has 5mm sockets passing entirely through his palms. Any of these holes can mount the included Laserbeak, or he can store inside Soundwave’s chest in either mode.In wave six of the Prime toyline, Soundwave was put into new packaging, which came with a DVD featuring the Prime episode "Loose Cannons”.The TakaraTomy release of Soundwave, part of the second wave of Japanese Prime product, has considerable differences from the Hasbro version. He comes with his own Arms Micron, Zori, and cannons with 5mm ports and posts have been added to his wings (on his shoulders in robot mode) in order to accommodate said gimmick. Many of the Hasbro paint operations have also been removed and replaced with numerous, small, customer-applied foil stickers, including ones for his tiny sculpted kneecaps, which are practically guaranteed to peel off at the sides. In addition, the instructions for applying the stickers unfortunately contain an error, with the placement of stickers 14 and 15 being swapped around.This mold was redecoed into two Stealth B.A.T.s which were sold with Old Snake through the Transformers Collectors’ Club as a "Club Crossover” exclusive toy, also available to the G.I. Joe Collectors’ Club.
