The featured bot in this video is the Walmart Exclusive 35th Anniversary War for Cybertron Siege Sound Blaster. Now this was a figure I was originally not really wanting to pick up. I mean, it's just another repaint of Soundwave. But the more and more I started looking at him, checking out the reviews, checking out his pictures, I decided I want the guy, especially as I started to get more and more of the little cassette minions. Plus he's a black repaint and black Transformers are always cool. Now let's take a quick look at the packaging. You've got Sound Blaster here in the 35th Anniversary Packaging. 35 there on the side. You see Sound Blaster, Transformers Siege. Side of the box is some fantastic looking artwork. I love that. Back of the box, you've got Robot Mode, 35th Anniversary, and his weird spaceship mode. Now something I noticed right off in the box is this figure, even inside the packaging, has some fantastic light piping. I don't know if I can catch it now, but if you look, my light is really shining through on these eyes. Hold on one second. Let me see if I can get this adjusted here. Can you see that? I mean, that is awesome. I mean, right in the box. So enough of bragging about the figure in the box, let's go ahead and eject Sound Way from his packaging and take a look at him. And welcome to Patriot Prime Reviews. Man, that's right in my face now. Now once you get Sound Blaster all opened and out of the packaging, you'll see that he comes with a sheet of instructions. And these are those siege instructions that are so well illustrated, so easy to follow. I love these instructions. And I'm thinking that Earthrise is kind of continuing on with this style of instructions. He also gets his shoulder mounted rocket launcher. It's got some nice details molded in there. If the light will catch it just right. He gets his concussion blaster. Nice red paint applications around that. Really good molded details. And it collapses. I dig that. He also gets this little pistol that can convert into like this long pole extension that what you're supposed to do is take the weapons. You put the concussion blaster in on that side, attach the rocket launcher here on the other, and you've got this stupid looking thing. So yeah, I won't be posing my Sound Blaster with that. Now I actually use this piece right here. The same thing came with the siege sound wave figure and I use it. Attach it to the back of my siege Megatron and gave him his Generation 1 shoulder cannon. So anyway, let's fold that back. We'll put that in Sound Blaster's left hand. Attach the shoulder rocket launcher right here in that hole on top of his shoulder and put his concussion blaster in his right. And there we have Sound Blaster all armed and ready for battle. Guys, I'm going to be honest with you. This figure, as soon as I took him out of the package, just pops. He looks amazing. That black, gold, and red color scheme just works for this figure. And look at the light piping. The light piping on this figure is amazing. That is some of the best light piping I've seen in years. Lots and lots of great paint applications. You got the reds, the yellows, the silvers. Silver right there on his waist buttons. Paint details there on the forearms. The orange chest cavity really, really works with him. I can't get over the light piping. The only thing I really hate on this figure is the damn battle scuffing. I think it just looks like crap. I know Toyhacks has a brand new decal set coming out to enhance Sound Blaster. And I've got one on the way, so I can't wait to see how he looks with that. Poseability for the figure. His head is on a ball joint. It can go up and down to a complete 360. Shoulders up, down. They can go complete 360 as well. He's got an elbow bend, elbow rotation. Let's see. No wrist rotation. He does have a waist rotation. Legs up, down, all the round. There is a little flap right here you can move out of the way to get a little bit more range of motion. He also has a knee bend and knee rotation. Down here on the feet, there is a slight ankle rotation. So very, very posable. This figure just looks badass. The black really works. Now let's do a quick comparison of the 35th anniversary Sound Blaster with Warfare Cybertron Siege Sound Wave. So those two actually look great together. And you can see, look at the side. Get your arm down there. The difference with the chest storage where Sound Wave can only hold one cassette minion, Sound Blaster can hold two. So we'll pop that door there. You can see how deep of a recess that is. Compared to Sound Wave. So now let me grab a couple of minions. I've got Rumble here. Pop him in. Tell you the retail minions really don't fit into these sound waves that good. But yeah, there we go. I've got both Rumble and Ratbat in Sound Wave. And of course now the fun part is going to be getting them back out. So, well that sucks. Okay, they're pretty easy to get out once I figure it out. You've got to pop the door, get your fingernail in, grab Ratbat. He's easy to pop out, but you've got Rumble. Man, Rumble's in there good. See if I can get ahold of him. I've got no thumbnail. Okay, lesson learned. I will not be popping in two retail cassettes in my Siege Sound Blaster again. Rumble took forever to get out of there. Fortunately, you guys get to see this edited. But what I am going to check out is these two P-50 Scout drones that I got from Dr. Wu. So we'll pop Sound Blaster's chest open. We'll put the red drone in, the blue drone in. That shuts perfectly and it still gets stuck. It still gets stuck. Come on. There we go. So yeah, the room is there for the cassettes. But do you want to chance them getting stuck in there permanently or damaging them when you try to take them out? So that's pretty much it for Sound Blaster in Robot Mode. Now let's take a look at him in Vehicle Mode. Sound Blaster's Vehicle Mode is some sort of Cybertronian battle cruiser or maybe a surveillance ship. But no matter what it is, you are really using your imagination for this one. I mean, I guess it's a ship. It kind of resembles a ship. The collars carry over very, very well. Big orange chest piece right there on the back. But as far as the ship's concerned, it's all right. A lot of nice molded details. I really like the red cockpit. All the paint applications carry over right here on the front of the ship. But it's quite plain on the nose code. I guess that's a nose code. Hell, I don't know how to describe this thing. But yeah, it works. It is what it is. Now Sound Blaster, just like Sound Wave, has a couple of extra modes. There's like a fan mode tape deck you can make and the lamp post mode. Now I'm not going to go over those in this video review, but you can check them out in my Sound Wave review. And speaking of Sound Wave, let's go ahead and bring him in so you compare what the two look like side by side in ship mode. Now, of course, my Sound Wave has been enhanced thanks to Toy Hacks decals, which really improve the ship... what you can improve with this ship. But yeah, there's a big difference in the two thanks to the different coloring. I love the red translucent cockpit opposed to Sound Wave's clear one. But yeah, there's really not much to go over as far as the ship's concerned. So there is Sound Blaster in vehicle mode. And now for some quick size comparisons, here is the Walmart 35th Anniversary War for Cybertron Siege Sound Blaster with the Walmart 35th Anniversary Siege Megatron. See what I mean about the extra gun being used as Megatron's shoulder cannon? Generation 1 Sound Blaster and the Generation 1 version also has the extended chest cavity. Fall of Cybertron Sound Blaster and one more comparison shot with War for Cybertron Siege Sound Wave. I do want to point out that my Sound Wave figure has been enhanced with Toy Hacks decals and I really can't wait to see what Sound Blaster is going to look like with his new decals. Walmart's 35th Anniversary Transformers War for Cybertron Siege Exclusive Sound Blaster is an amazing looking figure. I absolutely love this toy. Like I said, I was blown away with the collar scheme. It just works for this guy. The only complaints I really have with this figure is the battle damage chest. I hate that look on Sound Blaster and Sound Wave, but Toy Hacks is going to fix that. And the fact that the retail cassettes get stuck in his chest cavity. Granted, I'm not going to be displaying the minions in his chest cavity, but still, it's something that could have been fixed. So there you go guys, the War for Cybertron Siege Walmart Exclusive 35th Anniversary Sound Blaster. So, does the Walmart Exclusive 35th Anniversary Siege Sound Blaster belong in your collection? Absolutely. I friggin love this guy. He is so much more than just a Sound Wave repaint. The retool is awesome. He's got those giant pecs for extra storage of the minions. The paint applications are fantastic. This whole collar scheme is just awesome. He's going to look so good over there on my shelf in my Sound Wave Sound Blaster display area. I am so happy to get this guy. And if you see one, don't hesitate picking him up. You're not going to be disappointed. But what does disappoint me is the distribution for these damn 35th anniversary figures. I've never seen one of these figures anywhere in any of the Walmart's that I've shopped at pretty much from December until now. I've been to a few different states, hit up a few different Walmart's and have yet to see a 35th anniversary figure. I looked out. I found this one on Walmart.com and I got him for around 20 bucks. So he may still be available if he is. Pick him up. I got the 35th anniversary Megatron and Optimus Prime at a local deals store. And then I got the 35th anniversary prowl from a fellow YouTuber at TFCon. But never once saw one at a Walmart. So department stores, get your shit together if you're going to offer exclusives. So there's my little rant. Now guys, if you enjoyed the video, don't forget to like, don't forget to subscribe, and don't forget to hit that bell icon to get notified when I upload new reviews.
