>>7274687>Literally nothing wrong with soudwave to warrent a 2.0Soundwave is my least favorite MP of those I own. Aesthetically, I like it, it's got that G1 look while still feeling modern and not being stupidly accurate to the cartoon, but as a toy it really sucks. Leg and hip articulation is handled extremely stupidly, ankles are limited which really makes him a drag to pose, and for only having to transform into a box, he does it with an extreme lack of elegance. Not to mention his tape eject/storage gimmick which is generally a pain in the ass and hardly works. So much about MP-13 feels like it was Hasui doing a rush job, especially after how masterful the transformation on MP-10 was.
I'm pretty sure that the only reason MP-13 gets praise is because it does indeed look impressive, and it's Soundwave, probably the biggest meme character in the franchise besides Optimus himself. MP Soundwave is riding on recognition of the character alone. As a toy, it's pretty lame, even compared to its peers. If it were upscaled, its engineering actually makes it feel more like it belongs with the pre-MP-10 figures.
