Errrm, well, I only got a Soundwave as a young man... I think I was like 30 or something... But I realised from that point on that you could clip him to belts.
But yeah, Big Phil's probably behind everything...

The Decepticon's communications specialist does not sit on people's belts! He is picked up by human fools in disguise mode!

Alas not. But then I never had him as a child. I have, however, had the Music Label Soundwave in my jacket pocket whilst listening to music he was playing. And you have no idea how happy that made me.

I wouldn't clip a real Walkman to my belt, let alone the majesty of Soundwave. Far too much risk of either falling off. But as for knowing Soundwave does this, I think the presence of a belt clip is a bit of a giveaway that he can be clipped onto belts.

I voted yes, but it was no secret. It *was* a secret! No one at school who had a Soundwave attached it to their belts! This feature has never been mentioned in any online or offline chat I have ever had about the toy with fellow fans! No guidebook has ever mentioned this!!! CONSPIRACY!!! -Ralph |

Er, yes, and I never considered it a secret, just something too obvious to need mentioning. It has a belt clip right there on it's battery case door. Yes, wearing a dictaphone on ones belt is an odd thing to do, but Yuppies used to carry filo-faxes under their arms so it isn't even close to the silliest thing that real humans have done.
This is a strange question - it is like asking if anyone has ever aimed through Megatron's scope, or put his stock against their shoulder. What is odd about using a feature that is present on a toy to do what that feature is designed for?
(Remember, the cartoon and comic both depicted Megatron's alt-mode as several times too large (I'd eyeball about four or five times the size it should be - the toy is actual size in dictaphone mode rather than the massive blocky thing that was usually depicted in the fiction. In the same way as Skids was depicted much larger in vehicle mode than he should be.)

Now if only the original Megatron toy came with a holster... It'd need to be a shoulder rig,U.N.C.L.E style, so that you could have loops for the stock and silencer on the off-side. Otherwise you'd need a tiny case or something to carry them around in. :-) Karl |

I just checked the back of TR Soundwave and the moulding there homages the back of the original Cassette Man and this nonsense 'belt clip' is clearly seen there but of course the toy would not homage a feature THAT NEVER EXISTED!!!

They have not. They both turn into giant boom boxes in real life hence why no-one thought to attach them. No one tries to put giant boom boxes on their belts! The weight would bend them over!

Uh, you have seen the cartoon where Soundwave's tape deck mode fits in the palm of Spike's hand?
Blaster, yes, a boom box, no question. But Soundwave looks nothing like that.
