So I've seen a video review and heard some stuff about this figure, and I'm surprised by all the negative things I've heard about it.

Is Titanium Soundwave really that bad? If so, why? It looks decently articulated and I do like the look of him in Alt Mode and Robot Mode, and including Laserbeak is a nice plus in my book. So what's the deal? I think the biggest complaint I've heard is the legs (they tend to collapse even when you don't want them to.) I am considering picking one up for myself, as I'm a big Soundwave fan, but if it's really that bad, then I guess I'll stay away.

So, what's the verdict, boys?

He has floppy legs and the diaper syndrome. He's not a really a horrible figure, for me personally i jsut think they could have done much better with him. If your a Soundwave fan you may enjoy him, but he does have his issues.

Personally I think it is a good toy. My only compliant is that the proportions in robot mode are bit weird, his waist/crotch is a bit too long compared to his legs and torso. I have not had any problems with his legs collapsing. He has been standing on my self for about 2 weeks straight without falling. As for his alt-mode, I'm not sure what it is but I just love the way it look. I think it is worth getting.

I'm getting him. If I ever manage to find him (I have really bad luck with finding TFs sometimes).

BBTS was having a sale on him last week, he was only $10.79 + $8.29 shipping. He looks sweet in the box, which is modeled after his G1 stickers. I love it.

You asked, so I will tell you: DiaperWave is a piece of $***.

Really, he is.

He cannot stand without his telescoping legs collapsing on themselves, making him shorter, and lean to one side, the right.

He suffers from being too topheavy, and his design is utter garbage. EASILY the worst of the 6" Titanium line.

Well, actually, I hear purple "G2" Megatron is even WORSE!

If you can imagine that.

He's an absolutely terrible figure. The legs in particular are a total abortion. I rate him as the worst 6" Titanium, even worse than Gi Joe Megatron.

Seen a whole boat-load of it at the Time Sq TRU last week. Appearntly it's not selling.

Yeah, I can think of at least 20 stores that has 1-2+ of him at the moment.

Heh, well, for better or for worse, I've ordered one from a member here. Hopefully I'll enjoy it more than some of you folk have.

Problems with soundwave:
His legs are loose, his arms are tight, makes him fall over everytime you pose him.
His knees are crap.
His legs are floppy.
Diaperwave.
No battery cover.
His alt mode is rubbish and loose (dosnt look anything like soundwave;s alt should).
He only has ONE viable pose that wont fall down imeadiatly.
In all honesty, he is fugly.

Have I missed anything?
