- threezero Bumblebee "Shattered Glass Soundwave" is a redeco of the threezero DLX Bumblebee Soundwave figure, a non-transforming premium action figure standing at 11.2 inches tall. Coming with die-cast parts, he is extensively painted to match the original Shattered Glass Soundwave, albeit much less vibrant and more "realistic". He has a ridiculous amount of articulation (80 points!), with most joints being double-jointed for extended range of motion and dynamic posing, also enhanced by the included multi-part action stand, allowing for "mid-air" poses. His head has an LED light inside it, powered by two AG13 watch batteries, which makes his visor glow the most gorgeous shade of candy-like green when the button hidden in his forehead crest is pushed in.
- He comes with numerous accessories and alternate parts, the most notable being a "transformable" Ravage that fits into his opening chest cavity; the chest-window is not spring-loaded or button-activated in any sense, however. His shoulder cannon is a two-piece affair that allows for a wide range of motion. He has numerous alternate hands that can pop onto his ball-jointed wrists (though their being double-jointed can make popping the hands on tricky), including hands to hold his Sonic Cannon. But the most important accessory is obviously the real-cloth bandana exclusive to this set, which has wired ends to allow them to be posed dramatically flowing in the wind, which is totally awesome.
