TFW Dark of the Moon Deluxe Soundwave Gallery

Moving right along, next up for you we have the third in our little series of "toys that never made it to US retail" from the Dark of the Moon line. Up next is Soundwave. Three versions of Soundwave were planned for the Dark of the Moon line - of those only the Cyberverse made it to US retail; the Human Alliance Soundwave and this one, the Deluxe class toy, never made it outside of Japan and a very limited release through Hasbro Asia. It's a pity because while the toy is not without its flaws (the roof of the car hangs off the back in a very unattractive way) it is a good toy, very solidly built and a nice representation of the character who appeared on screen in the movie. He nicely complements the other Decepticons and is a real step up from the satellite version from Revenge of the Fallen.

Check out our gallery for another look at a toy which missed out on US shelves:

One of my favorite DOTM deluxes. Great pics man.

Agreed on both counts. It's a great little toy, one of THE best Movie deluxes. The lack of availability is nothing short of criminal. Tempted to repaint mine as Dead End, due to the lack of...paint.

Too bad this toy lack the paint job

Great figure... Totally glad I dropped $33 for him!

thanks hasbro for making sure to make 1000 bumblebees first and killing the line.

Gotta admit, one of the cooler mechtech weapons.

I usually refrain from commenting on movie toys, as I find they all looked like complete garbage with the exception of Ratchet. However, I must admit, it is ironic that I likely would have picked this mold up if it had made it to the US. Excellent design and focus. Simple bot mode, and great looking alt mode. Such a shame.

Now I'm wishing I had one.

I am a Slave to Wheeljack and Soundwave, but they are from 2 different team.

Who to choose?

ROTF Soundwave's head and DOTM Soundwave's head look similar
