San Diego Comic-Con Exclusive G1 Soundwave With 4 Cassettes

Posted on April 2, 2009 at 2:02 pm by Joe Moore under San Diego Comic Con, Transformers Toy News

The Transformers Collectors’ Club has revealed the first Hasbro exclusive toy for the 2009 San Diego Comic-Con. The figure is a reissue of the Transformers Generation 1 Soundwave with four additional cassettes. Soundwave comes with Laserbeak, Buzzsaw, Ratbat and Ravage. The price will be a fairly reasonable $49.99.

One of the most recognizable characters from the TRANSFORMERS brand lore, SOUNDWAVE is making a retro-comeback for San Diego Comic-Con in honor of the brand’s 25th Anniversary. Hasbro is re-releasing the original 1984 edition of the figure that will include four of the SOUNDWAVE character’s cassettes, two of which have not been released since the 80’s. The cassette characters include BUZZSAW, LASERBEAK, RATBAT and RAVAGE. The four figures fully convert between robot and cassette mode and fit into SOUNDWAVE when in cassette mode.

You can see images by clicking the headline of the story.

UPDATE:

The Transformers Collectors’ Club has clarified that this is indeed the single deck version, and not the dual deck version (pictured). This will mark the first reissue of the original styled Soundwave in North America.

    The article says they're releasing the 84 version of Soundwave, but the picture contradicts that, as it appears to be the Japanese version or the TRU reissue with larger tape deck.

    Oh, my, do want! ...Even though I have a few soundwaves', the 4 tapes is a win, especially Ratbat!

    I wonder if Ratbat will have gold weapons or silver. I prefer the gold.

    I also wish it was like the original toy, and not the Soundblaster/TRU Reissue toy.

    Thanks, guys.

    Damn! Since it IS like the original, I may have to get this thing. Combine that with Ratbat goodness(and gold weapons according to the pic), and this is full of G1 Win.

    Would've loved to get Slugfest and Overkill to round it out, but these are nice too.

    Agreed!

    I must have this!

    I'd like to have seen Frenzy or Rumble instead of Buzzaw.

    In the same boat man, that price is AMAZING! Hell the Japanese 2 packs of the cassettes cost almost as much, this set is a bargain in comparison!

    Is it confirmed that HTS will have some of these to go up on their website after the show?

    So want.

    I'm just worried there won't be any left to sell on HTS, unlike previous years' exclusives. I will certainly be keeping an eye on the HTS site after SDCC is over.
