Look at the legs and see how the thighs are too short and the kneepads too big. If the gray rectangles are painted in, it would look off because the square kneepads took much of the space. From seeing the photos of the physical RED Prime, I bet that the yellow won't be opaque enough over the darker clear blue.
Legends figures are often inaccurate because parts reusage and budget, with the occasional gem like Doctor Doom, but in the case of Soundwave, it's because they used an image from Pinterest.
At a distance, it looks acceptable but the more you look into it, the shittier it becomes, and then you remember that voyagers used to go for $25.
