How we estimate times · sources and method

Joints and transformation need checks. Our time includes both companions and an initial check of the conversions. The three experience bands are cautious editorial assessments, not measured averages.

Sources do not always specify the builder’s experience. The three experience bands are our editorial assessment, based on the complexity of the set and individual accounts where available.

The stories, places and inventions behind your build.

A communicator from 1984

Hasbro’s 1984 catalogue described Soundwave as a Decepticon communicator who could locate Autobots and report to his allies. The cassette player was part of his identity from the start.

Read the full story

Hasbro’s 1984 Toy Fair catalogue presents Soundwave as a Decepticon communicator disguised as a cassette recorder. Locating and identifying Autobots lets him report to his allies. An audio device supports the character’s fictional role in reconnaissance and communication.

Hasbro

Cassettes that became animals

The same catalogue showed Decepticon cassettes transforming into robots, jaguars or condors. Technology paired with small animals was part of the original toy line.

Read the full story

The catalogue describes cassettes converting into robots, a jaguar or condors, including Soundwave’s golden condor. Small familiar objects sit inside another transforming toy. Opening its compartment becomes part of the surprise as the stored object emerges and takes on a different character and form.
