Funny, we simply call it MP3 player here in Hungary... ;) Agree this would suck as Sounds alt mode.

Well I-Pod is the brand name used in the US and UK. I guess we'd still refer to the generic product as an MP3 Player.

Still, if the new series Doctor Who is to be believed, by the year 5 billion, people think that the term I-Pod refers to old-style Jukeboxes as well.

I don't think the writers were serious about that. They were just trying to convey what a vain self-absorbed chick Cassandra was, that she would think a Jukebox was an I-Pod.

Ah, ya see, the blast him in in the tape compartment, where he was carrying err... Slugfest and Overkill (new recruits from cybertron)... err... yeah... the blast offlined the two cassettes, but they shielded soundwave from the worst of the blast... yeah...

anyone got any more straws? i'm not clutching nearly enough here... :twisted:

I just realized, isn't it kinda dumb to launch the tape troopers during a battle? I mean, what would happen if he got shot while his chest was open before he closed it again?

If I was Soundwave, I'd be more concerned if one of my cassettes malfunctioned and transformed while still in my chest.
