Ever wondered what happened to Megatron’s ever-loyal-yet-blackmailing-soldier-slash-tapedeck, Soundwave? He didn’t get into the new movie, but apparently he’s been up to something after the 1986 Transformers movie. (Video contains cusswords and innuendos. Stay away, kiddies!)
“Kids don’t even know what cassettes are. Lots of them don’t even buy CDs anymore… They use iPo…” *Click*
Classic.
And just in case you DON’T KNOW what a tape CASSETTE is (there might be quite a few of you out there), it’s magnetic tape spooled around two reels in a plastic case, used to store analog audio and some data stuff long long ago. Like what you use in miniDV cameras and data archiving, expect that they’re prone to tape entanglement that frequently resulted in the user tearing apart the cassette and ripping out the tapes like entrails from an animal carcass.
An audio tape cassette containing the sounds of my life (make your own at Says-It.com!):
You play them on a “tapedeck” like the Sony Walkman below. Yessirree kids, the Walkman has been around since the dinosaurs ruled the planet, and the name didn’t start with the Sony MP3 player or the mobilephone gimmick of Sony and Ericsson.
Get the straightdope on Cassettes here, and on Soundwave here.
Awesome! I totally forgot about the Soundwave! I also completely forgot about the couple of the little transforming cassette tapes I had. I think I had Ravage and Laserbeak. *Sigh* Good times.
Lucky you
. I did have Soundwave and Laserbeak’s less-known twin, Buzzsaw. I still think Laserbeak was better.
hey, i thought one of Soundwave’s minion was in the movie.. the one that infiltrated AirForce One? Or it could have soundwave with a built in CD player…
BTW, linked you up!
That CD-playing mini-boombox was Frenzy. In the cartoons Frenzy turned into a cassette tape. Linked you up too!
