Titanium Soundwave, Worth it? need to know today

One of my co-workers saw a Titanium soundwave this morning, and was going to pick it up, but couldn't decide if it was worth it, so I put out the question to you good people.

Should he go back this afternoon and buy it?

Is it really worth 19 bucks, after tax?

He likes the figure and Laserbeak, but hates the diaper.

I don't own him, but I heard from other fans here to hve him hate the diaper crotch, the loose and flimsy limbs and the fact he's very heavy.

No.



That is all.

I have him and he is a little clunky, but he is worth it in my opinion because he's just enough different and I'm collecting different versions of him. If you don't play with him much, he makes a great display piece! :grin:

I say, even with all his myriad 'faults', certainly yes.

There are certainly better versions out there to own...


It's a win, win really. Either way you probably won't regret it...It's good enough to own, but bad enough to skip if you get my meaning.

Titanium Soundwave fits in better with Classics than does G1 Soundwave.

Agreed. In my little corner of the world, titanium Soundwave is the only figure out that I've never seen on the shelves. I had to get him second hand.

He's clunky, and a little funny looking, but he looks good on my Soundwave shelf. Definitely not the best one, but worth having.

he's certainly worth it when u saved $14 cause your g/f bought him for ya 2 days ago lol. I wouldn't say he's flimsy, at least not like that classics Prime/Tank Megs 2-pack figures. He's hard to stand up, you need push his torso out to balance him. But what I like the most is his resourcefulness. Most figures you have to discard or box the accessories completely. NOT Soundwave, for his gun and shoulder-mounted cannon become batteries in his tape cassette mode.

I don't mind him, he's not my favorite 6" by any means but if you have the coin and want him, go for it.

no save your money.

diaper head is flimsy, suppose to be for display yet he
looks bad. legs that dont hold him up well, he can be
taller but the legs dont lock so he just gets shorter
with his own titanium weight.

get a classics Jetfire or classics Meg, or
Vector Prime,

maybe you can get cyb Menasor for the same price
since Target and some walmarts are on TF sale now.

Exactly.

Not the best in the line, but worth it to pick him up. I don't regret the purchase at all, diaper or not.

I just picked up a Tit Rodimus Prime, i was so surprised to see the store i went to had any of this line since ive never seen them on any store shelves before. They had Soundwave too and i considered getting him as ive been wanting a soundwave figure for a while but they had loads of him left, and only one left of rodimus, so i went for the latter.

I had a good look at SW though, he looked pretty sweet, cant say anything about the toy out of the box though as ive never held him or touched him before, this is the first time ive ever seen him with my own eyes. He looked great, the pic of him on the box in alt mode didnt look too clever though, but next to rodimus and the fact that there was 5 of SW left and only one of Rodimus i had to go for Rodimus. From looking at him in the box id say hes worth it.

I also picked up an Alt Dead End for the same price, £14.99. My dad bought me him though. (and yes i know i am 22 but who says i still cant blag a few toys off my parents every now and then?! :P )

Don't get this POS!
I picked it up 'cause I couldn't get a hold of the Com. SW,
and kick myself for it.
It just sits there in player mode because the robot mode SUCKS!!!
Only part I like about it is Laserbeak. And he SHOULD have been diecast.
