Dark of The Moon Deluxe Soundwave With New Head?

Posted on 02-28-2012 at 12:15 PM by ORIO under Transformers Movie Toys & Products (All Transformers Movie News)
Soundwavealternatehead
Thanks to 2005 Board member Starscream Gaga's Twitter feed, we have a scan of the Dark Of The Moon Deluxe Soundwave figure's instructions. These instructions show off what is an alternate head for the mold that could quite possibly be a movie version of Blaster. Bare in mind, the deluxe Soundwave figure has been canceled by Hasbro and won't be getting a release in the US at this time. So, whether or not this figure will see the light of day in the states is up in the air. This could quite possibly see a release in Asia though. We will keep you posted on TFW.

Click the link and speculate on what could be or what could have been on the 2005 Boards

Must mean there is more to come in the movie trilogy line.

But if you ask me, it looks like Jazz with Soundwave's body.
Ra88
Definitely Blaster. The dome-shape gives it away.
Starfire22
Asia exclusive probably.

Totally agree with you on the head resembling Jazz. If this toy were to make an appearance in the US, I'd definitely jump at it.

I'd still want him if he was Blaster as well.

So now we have at least movie toys shown with new head molds that are awaiting confirm.

Likely a planned re-release for the movie trilogy line. So in other words:

Sweet, another figure we're not going to get in the US...
Noideaforaname
Yet another version of Soundwave the US won't see.
NCStarscream
Nothing has yet come of the different head mold shown in Laserbeak's instructions,so I wouldn't assume this is confirmation of a continuation of the line.
Gilgamesh
They make these for potential remolds just in case, it doesn't really assure anything.
420bot
It friggin' does look like Blaster!
Necro Prime
Yeah I ordered a Soundwave off ebay about a week ago and got him a day or two ago. I noticed that when I looked at the instructions. I figure the design for Blaster, what with that stylish visor and all. Maybe the car in black with red robot parts? Sounds slick to me. Who knows if we'll ever see it though.
Tiller
I don't know how you people can overlook that back kibble and want the mold in general. pretty much the entirety of Dark of the Backback really grates on me.

Posted about this a few days ago, but you have MUCH clearer pictures...so could a mod please lock my thread?

On Topic- I actually think the head looks a bit like Jazz.
BlackJack21
DOtM Soundwave looks so amazing it is easy to overlook the back kibble!
Depthcharge
We already know for certain that his mold was scheduled for re-release in black and red Soundblaster colors. What I find interesting is that the pictures we were shown of DOTM Soundblaster show the original head, not this new one.

I think it was going to be released as either DOTM deluxe wave 7 or as part of the movie trilogy line (maybe they are were the same) but as of ToyFair it has been comfirmed that both are dead everywhere but Asia save for the deluxe Optimus with trailer that is already available at retail. Asia is still slated to get a trilogy series and rumor has it that Wheeljack and "Soundwave" are showing up in it. Whether that Soundwave comes with a new head or not remains to be seen.
Smasher
I look forward to being unable to buy this one as well.
Yobuster
yes, kind of reminds me of blaster but north america isn't getting anymore DOTM which is a good and bad thing.

So does anyone know, is it that retailers in the rest of the world still love DOTM or what's the deal? why there but not here?
Optimus Prime
Considering how all of the RtS, Generations and some HftD toys showed alternate headsculpts in their instructions, and those have never shown up on new toys, this probably doesn't mean much.
FanimusMaximus
Awesome, it will look cool with the Dark of the Moon Soundwave figures Hasbro rele - Oh wait they didn't release it.

If they had the nerve to cancel Soundwave they will sure as hell cancel this figure.
Thundershot
I love the deluxe Soundwave mold, and I think it'd look great in red with yellow and black inner bits with a Blaster-looking head.
Houndvoice
They're still doing movie stuff??
MNsor
So they will paint it red and we can pretend it is Dino... smooth move Hasbro! But then again... not really!
lordmegatron64
That should've been self explanatory. It's blaster. we all know how after G1 the creator the soundwave figure just got lazy as hell and decided "why not? it's not anyone or care or anything." blaster after G1 has always been just a repaint of soundwave. I'm shocked you're all surprised.....you shouldn't be people! please TFC....Take over the transformer franchise since hasbro doesnt know what the fuck they're doing....
Cadbane
I still want to see soundwave released in Ross some day.

Ugly ass toy, just kill it with fire and be done with it like hasbro said they would. My money is still down that they cancelled because the next movies will have new designs.

I must definitely be in the minority, because I love the Deluxe Soundwave toy...

Looks like Jazz to me, but I could be wrong.

Ya know that the REST of the movie toys are Asia/Canada exclusives?
Railguard
Thats ok, I can never find anything anyway, damn scalpers. I can't wait for the new Generations line (or whatever they are calling it this year) to come out.
Dinobot747
Looks like a mix between the heads of Jazz and Roadbuster. Especially Jazz.
autobotlongarm
I Think It's Noir Lime From PB:FTP Or Autobot Blaster
mondo
What are the chances of this and the other US non-release figures get release with the next movie or under the RID or Generation line?

i hope they come udner RID and NOT Generations as we dont get gens here

Damn Hasbro of Latin america!
netkid
Darn. I actually would have bought a movieverse Blaster toy.
SKowl
Soundwave looked and felt nothing like Soundwave in the movie.

His toy, even less so.

Repainting/remolding him into Blaster, like they've always done, doesn't fix any of the problems the original movie Soundwave design has. It would just make a Blaster figure look all the more strange...
fever2099
Yay! More TFs we can't get.
TechNoMad
I just don't think I could have handled trying to hunt down a movieverse Blaster in G1 colors, I just don't.
Starscream Gaga
That's my photo from my brother's twitter stolen by Planet Iacon. It was posted on this forum before I posted it anywhere else. The credit should be mine, not their's!
harrismonkey
I know the car is wrong, but if painted properly this could possibly pass for a big improvement on a deluxe Jazz.
lost7spirit
I love this figure but there are 3 things that get me, first is the gray paint job! I believe they could have given him a nicer silver paint job, two the extra kibble hanging below his croch and 3rd would be the lack of filling in the robot bits while he is in car mode...
Anguirus
Did this turn into the Deluxe Soundwave feedback thread when I wasn't looking?
Stepper
It sure resemble Blaster's head
vektsilver
Honestly looks a bit like the original Jazz head and the gun even resembles it. Maybe they were going to Resurrect him after all ... in a toy lol

off topic but:

does that mean the original Que and Soundwave are coming to Canada, or is it just there re-paints?
