Was Blaster in Series 1?

My list is:

Jazz, Hound, Trailbreaker, Bluestreak, Huffer, Gears, Brawn, Ratchet, Ironhide, Wheeljack and Windcharger (we already know about Prowl, Sunny and Sideswipe so I've left them out). I think that's all the first wave of G1 Autobot toys.

Soundwave, Shockwave, Thundercracker, Rumble, Lazerbeak, Ravage, Reflector, Insecticons. 'Con wise, I don't think there's anyone I've forgotten.

They were the only things that spoiled him in my opinion. His minicon support and blockiness. He could look amazing in classics styling.

Hey if its 25th annaversory next year how about a 25th anneversory unicron? that would be something or a masterpiece bumblebee lol

Its not so much the money, its the fact that I've already got an iPod which I'll never fill so I don't want another MP3 player - and that's the reason it costs so much. Take the electronics out of the MP3 Soundwave and sell it for a tenner and I'll buy it.

Same here, he looks ace, but there is no way I would spend that much on him. Especially since I would never even use him as an MP3. In fact, how many people do you recon actually use him?

Considering his pitiful capacity when compared to any mainstream MP3 player, I would say very very few.

I wasnt rubbing anything in your faces, but just making the point that id rather pay £59 for the MP3 soundwave than £70-£100 for a mp megs or starscream which have some pretty major flaws (except starscream in jet mode............mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm sexy lol)

I'm currently considering whether to buy BM Rattrap and Megatron for about £20 altogether, and I was wondering if you guys had any experience with these figures? Any reason I shouldn't buy them? :grin:

MP3 Soundwave takes a micro SD card. So he's only as pitiful as your wallet :wink:


Aye, in this day and age we pretty much all already have a music device. But for the £40 I (my bro- it is his afterall :P) payed for it, it was worth it.


My gripe is that he'd make an awesome voyager classics SW if he was scaled up slightly and gutted.


Never had them myself Fri, so I couldn't say.


Have a poke throught the galleries I suggest.

Consider that the largest Micro SD card is 8GB and it does not compare well even to my ancient Creative Zen which is 40GB.

Besides which, is Soundwave even compatible with cards over 2GB? A lot of devices his size are not.
