Description
FINALLY! My first kitbash! Not just a repaint. I was playing with my Universe Dropshot and mis-transformed him and it gave me an idea. SOUNDWAVE!!! I stripped the weapons, tank treads, and other plastic bits to make Soundwave! I filed the head down to give it a more square shape. I couldn't figure out a way to give him a faceplate since I don't have the right tools right now so he actually has a mouth. I found a picture that some did of Soundwave without a mouth, so I figured I'll go with that. I did add a little piece of plastic on the forehead to give him that Soundwave look. I used a guitar pick!By mis-transforming Dropshot, I was able to get that cassette player mode. The chest does not open but he looks line some Cybertronian computer or communications device. Also, I was able to transform him into his Cybertronian lamppost mode! Woo hoo!
So here he is, Classics Soundwave with 2 modes.

UPDATE!!!! 9/5/10
I added a chest piece and new shoulder canon.

Yeah. That and the tape player mode is what made this figure great for Soundwave.

dude toooo cool!

This version was the simplest. Just get a Dropshot figure and remove all the extra bits.

What if you gave me the parts and then you paint him?

I immediately started searching for the figures on Ebay but couldn't find them for a decent price loose or even broken...
I also really want Universe Roadbuster just to repaint. Never knew it was such a potentially cool fig until I saw yours.

Maybe if you are lucky, you might find them on clearance somewhere. Or maybe someone is selling them as junk parts.

Great job you did on the paint job here! He certainly has most of Soundwave's visual cues!

Thanks! If I do another one, I would like to give him a more proper Soundwave head.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I'd say there are plenty of other cues that identify the character that are just as important. Like his chest detail. Soundwave isn't Soundwave without that clear plastic in his chest
Which is not to say anything against this work you've done right here - it's superb! Can't wait to see what else you come up with.

True. If I see the Universe Blaster on clearance, I could use his chest piece. Still, I am very happy with my first kitbash.

And justifiably so! You've done an awesome job here.

Nice! I saw your custom before I read your comment. I was going to tell you to check mine out. Our Soundwave's shall battle each other now.

Hehehe, I think yours will win because of his size(It's a voyager am I right?).
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
True but yours is a titanium and weighs more so it would be a draw. NO WAIT! Mine cane turn into a lamp.
