The Transformers Legacy Evolution Soundwave figure features multiple modes, including a robot mode, a Cybertronian spaceship mode, and a hidden third mode resembling a Cybertronian lamp post or relay hub.

6. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe dust from the figure. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
• Storage: Store the figure in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent discoloration or material degradation.
• Joint Care: If joints become loose, a small amount of clear nail polish or floor polish can be applied to the joint and allowed to dry to increase friction.
