For grown-up fans of classic ‘80s bots and high-end collectibles, the LEGO Icons Transformers: Soundwave is a nostalgic masterclass in engineering. This 1,505-piece set transforms the iconic Decepticon from battle-ready robot into a retro cassette player—without a single rebuild.

Standing over 13 inches tall, the Soundwave model includes fully posable joints, a rocket pod, laser blaster, and dart accessories. Press the play button to activate custom voice clips and sound effects from the built-in LEGO® sound brick—turning your build into an interactive centerpiece.

But this set isn’t just about Soundwave. His loyal cassette-companions, Ravage and Laserbeak, also make the scene, each cleverly folding into cassette tapes that actually slot into Soundwave’s chest. The model includes a display plaque with power stats, adding an extra nod to its ‘80s roots.

Priced at $190, this collector-grade piece is ideal for display in your home office, studio, or as a premium gift for any Transformers or LEGO enthusiast. Use the LEGO Builder app for 3D step-by-step instructions and progress tracking.

Whether you’re reliving your childhood or just building your villain shelf, the LEGO Icons Soundwave is a tribute to analog cool, engineered for adult hands. The kit will be available starting on August 4th.
