LEGO Unleashes The Decepticons with New LEGO Icons TRANSFORMERS Soundwave Set
LEGO is back with another epic addition to its Transformers lineup, and this time, it's all about the bad guys. The LEGO Group has teamed up with Hasbro once again to bring fans the LEGO Icons Transformers Soundwave set, and it's a Decepticon dream come true.
With 1,505 pieces, this build is a nostalgia bomb. The set recreates the classic G1 version of Soundwave in all his blocky, cassette-loving glory. He’s fully posable, equipped with a working cassette bay, and you can flip him into his vintage cassette player mode without taking him apart.
“Recreate the fan-favorite Soundwave, the loyal lieutenant of the Decepticon leader Megatron along with his trusted companions Ravage and Laserbeak. Make Soundwave talk by pressing the play button to activate his voice and sound effects. Then convert Soundwave into cassette player mode without having to rebuild!”
That play button activates specially recorded voice and sound effects, something brand-new for LEGO’s Transformers line and a fun interactive twist that fans will appreciate.
The set also includes two of Soundwave’s iconic minions: Ravage and Laserbeak. Both convert into mini cassette tapes and fit neatly inside Soundwave’s chest, just like the original toy. Toss in a laser blaster, rocket pod, and a display plaque with Soundwave’s power stats, and this becomes the ultimate shelf trophy for Decepticon loyalists.
The set drops August 1 for LEGO Insiders and opens up to everyone else on August 4th for 189.99.
