Collaborative

The rather bizarre eighth release in the Collaborative line, J. Balvintron is a redeco of the original Generation 1 Soundwave toy, of all things.
A seven-inch-tall figure, J. Balvintron transforms into a realistically-sized yellow microcassette recorder, complete with an opening cassette door that can accommodate any of the numerous Mini-Cassette figures. He is decked out in garish colors, numerous smiley faces, and lightning bolts, all in homage to the style of Colombian reggaeton singer J. Balvin. As a redeco of one of the earliest Transformers figures ever made, J. Balvintron features far less articulation than expected for a toy in 2021. For the first time in the long history of this mold, the traditional hand- and shoulder-mounted battery weapons are not included; instead, the set features a redeco of the large double rifle originally included with War for Cybertron: Siege Jetfire. J. Balvintron also comes with two delicious rainbow-colored Fire Blast effects, likewise of the design originally for Siege Jetfire.
J. Balvintron comes packaged with Energia Buzzaw and Vibras Stripes (based on the Spanish words for "energy" and "vibes", which are also the names of J. Balvin albums).[1] This set is exclusive to the NTWRK app, with pre-orders beginning on July 13, 2021.
This mold was also used to make The Headmasters Soundblaster, and numerous reissues of the original Soundwave.

Notes

  • The release of a brightly-colored redeco of The Transformers Soundwave bundled with several Mini-Cassette figures follows a similar pattern set by Linkin Park Soundwave, released 8 years prior to J. Balvintron.
  • While he has not appeared in any fiction as of yet, J. Balvintron is most likely a Generation 1 character because his pack-in parters Buzzsaw and Stripes are from Generation 1.

  1. "Energía" is properly spelled in Spanish with an acute accent. Presumably this did not happen due to typographical limitations.
