Oh.
I see your point about the helmets, though there aren't really any torso
parts as such (other than turntables with friction). I don't mind the
scale, since they're intended as mech-style robot vehicles rather than
action figures, but that might be a matter of taste.
There's not much to say about the sound elements other than that they're
only one piece in the set, and LEGO itself is hardly innocent of
single-purpose light-n-sound elements...
On the other hand, it's nice to hear someone voicing thoughtful complaints
about the contents of the sets, as opposed to someone saying "MegaBloks
stink 'cuz they aren't LEGO." 8^)
Dave!
