I guess i didn’t give it much thought before the release of the new Transformers movie.  Apparently Michael Bay wanted to have the physics of the Transformers seem plausible.  Hence, Megatron transformed into a spaceship instead of a pistol.  He even changed Optimus Prime from a semi rig with a flat front to a “hog nose” semi.  So when the original transformers were lining up for tryouts for the new movie Soundwave didn’t have a chance.  Soundwave was my favorite Deceptacon.  He transformed from a tiny cassette player into a giant robot. So that really wasn’t going to work.  Even though his cassettes each was a transformer also.  The problem?  Nobody uses cassette tapes any more.  Soundwave couldn’t be an mp3 player and still have some small mp3s transform - or thinking about the scale thing maybe compact flash cards or SD cards or something.  Stephen Fung linked to a great video that shows poor Soundwave dealing with the new movie.
