If you remember Transformers from the early eighties, you may remember a Transformer called Soundwave.

Transformers were robots who could turn into cars, planes and household objects. For example, Optimus Prime was the Autobot leader and he would Transform into a articulated lorry. Megatron was the Decepticon leader and he would change into a gun.

One of the best Transformers was a Decepticon called Soundwave, who would turn into a stereo cassette player, a piece of technology somewhat outdated in today’s World.

However, partly due to the Transformers movie last summer from Michael Bay, there has been a surge in interest in Transformers over the last few years. In fact, the Transformer Soundwave has been reissued as a toy, but complete with a working MP3 player.

The original Soundwave toy had a series of Transforming cassette tapes who would fit into chest, such as Ravage, Rumble and Laserbeak. This new Soundwave has a space in his chest (where the cassettes would normally go) for you to slot in an SD storage card.

It doesn’t stop there either as the Soundwave MP3 player also has some Transforming MP3 accessories that you can purchase. His two henchmen, Rumble and Frenzy, exist as fully functioning, Transforming MP3 earphones.

If you’re into Transformers and wanted a new MP3 player, this could be just the player you’re looking for.
