Transformers: Soundwave

Soundwave joins Optimus Prime, Bumblebee and Megatron in LEGO's Icons Transformers line, rebuilding the Decepticon communications officer as a large, buildable figure. Set 10358 uses 1,505 pieces and converts between two modes, with no minifigures included since the model is the focus. It is a set for fans of the character as much as for LEGO's conversion-building mechanics.

Description

A Decepticon known for his cool

Soundwave is one of the most recognisable Decepticons, a calm, monotone communications officer who, in the original 1980s cartoon, famously disguised himself as a handheld cassette player. Set 10358 continues LEGO's Icons Transformers line, following Optimus Prime, Bumblebee and Megatron, and rebuilds the character as a large-scale buildable figure rather than a playset with minifigures. The result is a model built to be posed and displayed rather than played with as a vehicle.

Two modes, one model

Like the other sets in the line, Soundwave converts between an upright robot mode with articulated arms, legs and head, and a more compact alternate form that nods to his classic cassette-player look. The conversion relies on folding and rotating sub-assemblies similar in principle to those used on Optimus Prime and Bumblebee, so builders familiar with those sets will recognise the general approach even though the shapes and proportions here are entirely new.

Piece count and colours

1,505 pieces across 338 unique parts make for a densely built model that still keeps a good range of movement despite the detail packed into it. Deep dark blue dominates the colour scheme, set off by light grey, dark grey and black across joints, weapons and mechanical trim, closely matching the character's usual look across the franchise. The full parts and colour list is available on this page, handy for anyone after blue or grey pieces for a robot build of their own.

Who it suits

With no minifigures included, this is a set for Transformers fans and collectors after a posable display piece rather than a vehicle for imaginative play. Anyone who already owns Optimus Prime, Bumblebee or Megatron gets a matching addition in scale and build style, and the ability to switch between modes keeps the model interesting well beyond the initial build. It is a reasonable step up in complexity from LEGO's smaller licensed sets.
