Christmas present No. 5 of 7

War for Cybertron Siege Voyager Class Soundwave transforms from a heavily G1-inspired robot to a rather unfocused "Patrol Hovercraft" and back. As noted by Hasbro designer John Warden, he also has an "easter egg" third mode - a Cybertronian Sensor Lamp; inspired by his appearance in "More than Meets the Eye, Part 1". While not shown in the directions, an image of this mode can be found on the side flap of the bottom of the box of all places, as well as the side of the box when a black light is shone on it. Soundwave features an opening chest compartment that can accommodate his usual "Micromasters" Laserbeak and Ravage, whom are sold separately in the Micromasters assortment, and has his left index finger molded out so that he can be posed pressing his own 'eject' button, as well as slots on his arms for Laserbeak to (loosely) perch on. And I know that everyone has their gripes about the Hovercraft mode, but I personally don't mind it. I will agree, though, that the robot mode is where the true prize lays. And I really do appreciate the bonus addition of his Cybertronian Sensor Lamp mode as well. All in all, absolutely worth it.
