T-Shirt Talk: Soundwave Attack

One of the many things people know about me is I love t-shirts, especially ones that showcase one of my fandoms. In this week's podcast, Chris Clews and I talked about our love of the website 80stees.com. Since we're both 80s children with 80s passions, it's not hard to understand our love for 80s t-shirts.

The shirt I'm sharing with you today is from the site, and it's obviously Transformers themed. Despite being a fan who generally aligns with the good guys, I do love some bad guys in my fandoms. Soundwave is a prime example.

Not only am I a Sounwave fan, I get kind of snobby and purist about him. I have zero interest in alternate versions of him where he doesn't transform into a cassette player. I think I even used a #NotMySoundwave on Twitter to express that snobbery one time.

Then, there's the movie Bumblebee. My wife can attest to my emotional and verbal reaction to Soundwave's appearance in that film - especially when he spoke.

I think that is one of the reasons Soundwave is popular with fans - that cool voice. Anyway, if I can find a fun or creative spin on a character, that's bonus points. So, when I decided I needed a Soundwave shirt, this one really stood out.

While this shirt is no longer available on their site, you can still check out the current Transformers collection at 80stees.com.
