Drop a Beat with Hasbro's The Transformers: The Movie Soundwave
New Transformers Studio Series figures are rolling out from Hasbro including the return of Soundwave and his Cassette troops
Article Summary
- Soundwave returns as a Studio Series Leader Class figure inspired by The Transformers: The Movie
- Features a detailed 6.5-inch robot mode that converts into Soundwave's classic tape player in 28 steps
- Includes mini cassette Transformers: Buzzsaw, Laserbeak, and Ravage, each with unique conversions
- Pre-orders available now for $59.99, with an expected release in February 2026 from Hasbro
Soundwave first appeared in the original Transformers toyline in 1984 as a Decepticon whose alternate mode was a micro cassette recorder. He serves as Megatron's loyal communications officer and spy, rarely speaking except via his monotone vocoder‑voice. Soundwave's special power is housing smaller "cassette" Transformers in his chest—robots like Ravage, Laserbeak, and Buzzsaw, which he can eject into battle or for reconnaissance. One of Soundwave's iconic appearances is in The Transformers: The Movie, which Hasbro is bringing to life with a new Studio Series figure.
Standing 6.5" tall, Soundwave features his design right from The Transformers: The Movie and converts into his signature Tape Player in just 28 steps. Hasbro was sure to also include some of his Cassette Troops as well, with Buzzsaw, Laserbeak, and Ravage, which also convert into bots. The Transformers Studio Series Soundwave is priced at $59.99, and pre-orders are already live with a February 2026 release date.
