The LEGO Group, in collaboration with leading games, IP and toy company Hasbro, has revealed the LEGO® Icons TRANSFORMERS Soundwave model set (10358), an immersive building experience crafted for adult fans. This collectible set captures the essence of the iconic Decepticon Soundwave and his loyal cassette companions in a detailed and dynamic LEGO brick interpretation.
The LEGO Icons Soundwave set invites builders to build a highly detailed version of the legendary TRANSFORMERS character. With 1,505 pieces, the set features posable joints, a working cassette bay, and seamless conversion between robot and cassette player modes – without disassembly. Pressing Soundwave’s play button activates specially recorded voice and sound effects, offering an interactive, first-ever twist with sound.
Accompanying Soundwave are two buildable cassette companions: Ravage and Laserbeak, that convert into miniature cassette tapes, fitting snugly into Soundwave’s chest compartment. Accessories including a rocket pod, laser blaster, and darts add to the set’s action-packed authenticity. A display plaque showcasing Soundwave’s power statistics makes this a perfect centerpiece for home or office display. This new set adds a villainous Decepticon to the existing the LEGO Icons TRANSFORMERS lineup, which also includes the LEGO Icons Optimus Prime set and the LEGO Icons Bumblebee set.
The LEGO Icons TRANSFORMERS Soundwave set will be available for LEGO Insiders Early Access from 1st August and for all shoppers from 4th August via LEGO.com/Transformers and LEGO Stores, priced at €179.99 / £179.99 / $189.99.
What a terrific addition to the LEGO Transformers line. While we didn’t expect Soundwave to be the first Dece[ticon to join the line up, he does look absolutely brilliant. Each Transformer set seems to improve, and this upcoming set just elevated the standard. Who could be next? Is Megatron out of the question? Or could we perhaps get a transforming Starscream? Let us know your thoughts in the comments.
Don’t forget to save the date. Soundwave will be available from August 4th.
