Fall of Cybertron Voyagers Soundwave and Soundblaster Released in Australia

Will wait for in hand reviews/galleries to make a decision. So far I'm happy with my deluxe Soundwave and I'd rather not make them out of scale with WFC Megs.

It's AUSTRALIA.
Not Austria... we're on the other side of the planet to Austria.

(can a mod change the title please)

These were found a couple days ago, I just had to get a photo up for the global fan-forums to believe it. The photo above, and info, is from the news posting here - FOC Voyager Soundwave & Soundblaster now out

:O

KInda cute that Laserbeak/Buzzsaw is tucked in behind Soundwave like some kinda winged backpack.

That is fast,

Someone please make a video review!

For a moment you had my hopes up... "If they're out in Austria, sure they will also show up in Germany..." Sigh.

I told you about this in the other Soundwave thread and its Australia. Austria is nowhere near us.

Yay, now I'm back into "ERMAHGERD IWANT IT NOW" about Grimlock, because the voyagers have been released.

I HOPE ALL the other cassettes get released!! I want a Ravage and a Laserbeak!!

Sounds as if the wave still won't hit U.S. for a while. Once it does, trying to find one in stores will be like walking into a buzz saw due to all the rampaging shoppers.

Can not wait for it to be released in Singapore.

Anytime now for my country...

wow these should be out in the uk.......... never........lol

What I want to know is whether or not these really come with G1 Optimus Prime's gun as their weapon. All the promo pics and convention displays seem to suggest so.

I think I will pick both of these up early if possible. I hate to wait!

Shouldn't Buzzsaw/Laserbeak have their Cybertronian modes and not their earth "bird" modes? I don't know why, but this really bugs me and I may not pick this up because of it.

Out of curiousity, are any release dates known for the cassette (or discs, whatever) twin-packs? For that matter, what's the pricing on those? I've seen them listed as Legends, but I don't know if that means each cassette is Legends-sized or the twin packs retail at the cost of a Legends-class figure.

they have always had some sort of bird mode. its not like they are from beast wars. whether a tape or these discs they are now dont look any more bird than any other time they werent.

This ^ It really bugs me that as cool as soundwave looks that he would be bigger then both cybertronian Prime and Megatron. Because of that I have to pass because it just wouldn't be right!

This ^ I am dying for Grimlock for my classics shelf and this just made me crave him even more even though it has no effect on his March release date...

Wow Australia is already getting these guys? Yet half of the United States have yet to get the bruticus figures in stores? Hasbro is really confusing me at the moment...

It is possible that they make a Voyager class for both Prime and Megs.

Here are some reasons:

1.A lot of people have been complaining about their own sizes.
2.Because they listen to the fans to make them bigger
3.To make more money
4. They know that they have a strong fan base that will buy all of their toys regardless of what they pump out

Even more confusing when you consider the fact that were yet to get passed Wave 2 of the Prime Deluxes...

Who else is due in this wave of is it purely SW/SB. Wasn't there a FOC Blaster somewhere on the horizon?

Wave 3 has Blaster in it. Wave 2 Grimlock.

Already have WFC Soundwave. Not getting anymore Soundwaves until MP Soundwave. I will get Blaster though.

The Combaticons haven't even showed up in my area yet, and Soundy is released now? Holy tits.

Yup haha. ugh, someone at hasbro needs to get there crap together and start sending out some new transformers.

I have money for them lol

As annoying as it is for collectors to find nothing but wave1 stuff on shelves, this has nothing to do with somebody at Hasbro 'needing to get their crap together'.

It would be kind of nice if people would stop blaiming Hasbro for everything. Hasbro makes and markets the toys. Retailers choose to buy the toys from Hasbro or not - and in some parts of the world, retailers need to buy a certain percentage of Transformers product from Hasbro in order to also get access to better-selling Hasbro franchises.

It's also not Hasbro's fault when certain later waves of TF get cancelled: it's retailers not wanting to buy them - which probably means the toys don't sell good enough. Hence why later waves of product often get rebranded as a subline (like 'Allspark Power' or 'Hunt for the Decepticons'): it makes the toyline look fresh again and will trigger customers to buy again. But again: if toys don't sell good enough, there's no reason for a retailer to order more.


For some reason this is really hard to grasp for alot of people - but trust me: I know your pain, not being able to find a new wave

I still don't understand why a figure and its repaint are being released in the same wave. Maybe some of the other molds aren't ready yet? It would be nice to see a small amount of variety. Guess it doesn't matter since I'll be passing for mp Soundwave instead.

The Combaticon's and Grimlock should've been Wave 1 release to compliment the game.

Hasbro always drops the ball.

As for this news. I might get Soundblaster since I already have WFC soundwave.

This does ruin my collection's scale though since Megatron, Shockwave and Starscream should all be Voyager class figures as well.

$50!? thank primus i live in america

I hope someone has in hand photos. I wonder how much bigger they compared to say wfc prime and megatron

I'm waiting for in-hand pictures and comparison shots to WFC Megatron. Still undecided if I get clownfeet Soundwave or FOC Soundwave.

It makes perfect sense when you think about the legends "cassettes" coming out. Kids own either soundwave = they can buy the tapes. No point releasing soundblaster after the tapes have been and gone!

Maximise profits.

I love my wfc soundwave though but if I want to add blaster and soundwave together I might switch to the foc version

what gun does he come with?

It is strange. To my knowlege, this is the first time that a mold and a straight repaint have been part of the same wave since G1.

I would understand if they released soundwave and blaster. But yea why soundblaster and soundwave

Fuk, yes

Want.

Someone please make a video review or post more pictures lol =D.

Maybe to see which one sells better? :shrugs:

Looks great. And for some reason I was sure they where going to name him 'Dark Soundwave' or something like.

Yeah, I'm kind of baffled too about that bit. Probably didn't want to make full of Soundwaves to potentially clog shelves or something.

well i plan to get soundblaster my self wfc mold can be soundwave i am trying not to double up on molds espelly if said character has already been done and this is just upsizeing

note to self ring hasbro new zealand today and ask when or if we will be seeing these...

god its retarted australlia is right next door they will get things before us but then the usa will get it next wtf to that

I don't know why Hasbro wouldn't have put Grimlock in Wave 1 at all? Considering he's the major focus of FOC?

I want all of the voyagers in the foc line or at least soundwave and grimlock.

Yeah me too but my pre-order page says Soundwave arrives in December.

All over this once it shows up stateside...
