ROBOT PARADISE RP-01 ACOUSTIC WAVE > REVIEW

Preamble

Christmas morning of 1984, tearing paper of off random boxes under the tree, unearthed the bestest Transformer toy of my childhood, Soundwave! Up until then I had a couple of Mini-Bots and the odd Go-Bot, but having Soundwave felt like I’d finally got a proper Transformer. For the longest time I kept his box, returning him to it every night after I’d finished playing with him…

Okay, so there’s obviously some big nostalgic shoes to fill here, and I know it’s not a G1 figure in the strictest sense, and we’ve had a Masterpiece Soundwave before from Takara. How’s Acoustic Wave going to compare? Let’s see what this unchrasimatic bore has to offer shall we.

Preamble

As the upgrade and replacement continues, next on the roster is Trailbreaker. I was late to the table with this one as I’m a fan of Mastermind Creations Terraegis. But with my Masterpiece collection slowly starting to become more cartoon orientated in aesthetic, I decided to put my hand in my pocket.

Preamble

Perceptor is a character that, if I’m honest, I’ve never really showed much interest in. I was aware of his inclusion in the Marvel UK comics, I never saw him in the cartoon as up until adulthood I’d never seen the Second Series and thought he was okay in the 1986 Movie. A side character of no major importance that was there to facilitate a move in the storyline. I became more familiar with the character during the IDW tenure, which was a hit an miss affair in my mind (the comic) but that’s something to go into another time.
