- J. Balvintron / Energia Buzzaw & Vibras Stripes (2021)
- Accessories: Energia Buzzaw, Vibras Stripes, 2 Fire Blast effects, rifle
- 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.
