Robosen Robotics and Hasbro have officially unveiled a world first: the auto-converting Transformers G1 Soundwave robot, merging advanced robotics with nostalgic Transformers design. Announced on December 4, this groundbreaking collectible brings the legendary Decepticon spy to life with unprecedented accuracy, engineering, and iconic personality.
Following the success of Robosen’s Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Grimlock, and Megatron, Soundwave now joins the premium line as the brand’s newest flagship robot—ready to serve as Megatron’s most loyal commander once again.
The Ultimate Fusion of AI Robotics and Transformers Nostalgia
Robosen’s G1 Soundwave is a fully articulated, auto-converting robot crafted after years of extensive research and engineering. Modeled after Soundwave’s classic cassette-player form, the robot seamlessly transforms into robot mode using 84 high-performance chipsets and 28 precision-built servo motors. The result is a lifelike, fluid, and dynamic transformation that mirrors the iconic Decepticon’s 1984 animated counterpart.
The collectible is available now for pre-order at Robosen.com for $999 USD during an introductory 30-day window. Afterward, the Soundwave robot will retail at its standard price of $1,399 USD, and will also be available on HasbroPulse.com.
A Decepticon Work of Art — With Real Functionality
More than just a display piece, the G1 Soundwave is designed to be “More Than Meets the Eye.” When in cassette mode, Soundwave works as a fully functional Bluetooth speaker, allowing fans to stream music directly through the robot. Its retro front-facing tape deck buttons offer physical playback control for skipping, pausing, or playing tracks.
The robot goes even further with an integrated audio recording function, letting users record custom messages that can be replayed through Soundwave’s built-in speaker system.
Authentic Voice, Iconic Lines, and True-to-Lore Design
In a move sure to delight longtime fans, Robosen partnered with legendary voice actor Frank Welker, the original G1 voice of Soundwave, who recorded over 200 new lines exclusively for this release. Soundwave speaks with the exact distorted 1984 voice thanks to audio engineering by Scott Brownlee, ensuring timeless lines like:
- “Soundwave superior, Autobots inferior.”
- “Destroy Autobots.”
The robot also features a glowing sonic cannon, a neutron assault rifle, and premium construction using aluminum, zinc alloy, and ABS materials, all accented by red-lit detailing that highlights its classic G1 aesthetic.
The Most Advanced Soundwave Ever Built
Soundwave introduces new innovations within Robosen’s robotics lineup, including articulated hip joints for more expressive posing, fluid movement, and dynamic stances. The robot’s engineering depth and smooth conversion animation showcase Robosen’s signature blend of AI, mechanical precision, and futuristic robotics.
This collectible is not merely a tribute to the Transformers legacy—it is a technological achievement designed for fans, collectors, and robotics enthusiasts alike.
A Decepticon for the Next Generation
With its powerful combination of nostalgia, premium design, and cutting-edge robotics, Robosen’s auto-converting Soundwave stands as one of the most ambitious Transformers collectibles ever created. Fans can begin their Intel mission today by securing their pre-order before the price increase.
