LEGO Announces a New Transformers Soundwave Set, Which Joins Optimus Prime and Bumblebee

JUL 10 – The 1,505-piece set includes transforming companions and a sound brick playing classic Transformers lines, marking LEGO's first electronic feature in its Transformers line.

  • The LEGO Group announced the Transformers Soundwave set, releasing August 1, 2025, as the third LEGO Icons line addition alongside Optimus Prime and Bumblebee.
  • This release follows previous LEGO Transformer builds, with Soundwave as the first villainous Decepticon figure, marking a new direction since LEGO avoids typical weapon alt-modes like tanks or guns.
  • The 1,505-piece Soundwave model stands over 13 inches tall, includes posable joints, accessories like a rocket pod and laser blaster, and transforms to cassette player mode without disassembly, including companions Ravage and Laserbeak.
  • Priced at $189.99 and exclusive to LEGO Stores, this set features a sound brick that plays classic voice lines when pressing a play button, a first for LEGO Transformers, and comes with a display plaque showing Soundwave's power stats.
  • The Soundwave set targets adult fans of the 80s and Michael Bay films and indicates LEGO's continued expansion of its Transformers line with more detailed, interactive models.
