We now have images of Movie Preview Bumblebee & Soundwave! The packaging reveals that Soundwave is a triple changer! This was speculated a few months back, and now we have confirmation!

Here is the press release from UK Toy Fair, with some interesting news....

THEY’RE BACK! TRANSFORMERS STORM THE TOY AISLE PRIOR TO THE LAUNCH OF THE NEW BLOCKBUSTER MOVIE

This summer, the conflict between the AUTOBOTS and the DECEPTICONS continues when ROBOTS IN DISGUISE once again invade cinemas around the world. The new DreamWorks and Paramount Pictures live-action movie TRANSFORMERS: REVENGE OF THE FALLEN hits the screen on June 26 and picks up the saga from the 2007 blockbuster that finds two warring factions of robots colliding in a major battle on planet Earth.

For 25 years, Hasbro has provided kids with hours of MORE THAN MEETS THE EYE action with awesome figures that convert from robot to vehicles and back again. Millions of boys around the world grew up creating fantastic adventures and battles set on both the planet CYBERTRON and Earth that featured the heroic AUTOBOTS, including OPTIMUS PRIME and BUMBLEBEE, clashing with the evil DECEPTICONS, led by MEGATRON. The toys’ popularity reached a new crescendo with the release of the 2007’s live-action TRANSFORMERS movie, cementing the toys and the brand in the upper stratosphere of pop culture.

The 2009 Transformers Movie Line includes
:
TRANSFORMERS MOVIE FIGURES

They are back on the big screen and the actions promises to be bigger and better than ever before! The new range of TRANSFORMERS movie action figures - featuring the new film’s most popular characters - will be available in three scales: DELUXE (the entry level line with the simplest conversion process), VOYAGER (larger scale), and LEADER (largest scale and includes lights and authentic sounds). DELUXE includes a total of 24 characters.
SRP from £12.99; Ages: 5 +; Available Summer 2009

Full range still to be revealed!

Bumblebee looks like a retard wearing a blonde wig...

HAAHA. I had that soundwave. I guess by switching the panels around he can be all kinds of things. And the fact that BB only has one hand and a stupid looking face(?) may prevent me from buying him. Well, I already have a couple of him anyway.
0ptimus__Prime
Cool! Soundwave will be an instant buy!
BigRC83
Still a pass for that Soundwave. I just do not like the movie line.
Josh
soundwave ftw
Darth Rodimus
nice find
Sso02V
Yeah, his alt. mode(s) are ambiguous to be construed as anything if you look at it right. I suppose he has his satellite mode, and then a cruising mode for entering and maneuvering in the atmosphere.
Waveride
Look at that awesome Soundwave artwork! :O
Blackout
I like all the scouts and other figures but I sill don't like that Soundwave.

Ah well.
Blackout
Edit: double.

From that pic, he looks like robo Prince Adam!
MasterPrime
Well I'll be getting that Soundwave but pass on the Bumblebee. I guess we will be seeing these in store soon like in a month or two.
Starscreamer95
Didnt Orci state they left that idea for another movie?
Optimus Prime
Awesome, I'd suggested that when the "official" pics of his jet/robot modes were released; the satellite is undboubtedly his third mode.
Also, this is our first look at ROTF Deluxe packaging, which is awesome!
It seems like I'm doomed to wait until this hits shelves to get Soundwave...I've ordered two from different sellers that have vanished mysteriously. So I'll definitely pick up a couple the second I see them in stores.

I'd imagine it's very likely Soundwave won't use his triple-changing ability in the movie. This "protoform mode" may be toy-only like Protoform Starscream or, IMO more likely, will be featured only very briefly as Soundwave lands and before he scans his Earth alt mode.
megatronkicksas
That missle looks more mechanical then biological, definately ravage.

He said it about two months ago.

I'll pass on Helmetbee.

I might pass on Soundwave in favor of the better inevitable figure.

Why does everyone think this? One of the producers said some would retain thier Cybertronian modes, and Soundwave obviously is one of them.

Here's all the pics to save you time

Something just doesn't feel right to me about Soundwave... if he was going to stay a satellite in the movie, why would they release his toy (a small one at that) as part of the preview wave? The preview toys last time around were not designs seen in the movie... so maybe this satellite design for Soundwave is a toy-only thing...

I hope that's not the case, this design kicks ass - and I don't want the on-screen Soundwave to be that ugly black pickup concept we saw before.

Obviously? Explain why.

1. Orci said the Earth design was dropped for Soundwave.
2. Orci said majority of the Decepticons were cgi (face it, no satalite looks like that)
3. Heaps of other reliable sources have claimed/stated that's the final design.
4. Nothing else could be a better G1 Movie design for Soundwave. And if so, why would they ruin that wonderfull design with him rescanning?
5. There's something about the blue spheres on him that just screams' "I'm Important!" dont you think? Not just fancy deceorations.
Bumblejazz
Getting Soundwave. Bumblebee...meh.

Yes cause Orci never lies to us just to keep his job

Okay, I like Soubdwave, but I'm tired of seeing him already. I need new leaks.

MEGAMAN X FAN
the missile has to be ravage it's just to detailed otherwise but you guy's should be happy at least he's black
ORIO
Definitely looks like all deluxes will be packaged in bot mode from here on out. I'm skipping both of these at the present moment. I wanna see more new cons too!
barrelks
"DELUXE includes a total of 24 characters" and about 100 repaints that you don't need but will buy anyway.

Soundwave's packaged in robot mode.

Yeah but if there's 40 characters, then that leaves 16 to be divvied up between for Voyager & Leader.

Maybe 4 Leader and 12 Voyager?

We have to remember:

7-Devastator
2-the Twins
1-Arcee
1-Barricade
1-Sideswipe
1-Optimus
1-BumbleBee
1-Ratchet
1-Ironhide
1-Frenzy Drones
1-Alice Pretender
1-Soundwave
1-Starscream
1-Megatron
1-The Fallen
1-Wheelie
1-Jetfire
1-Skorponok
1-Jolt
1-Ravage

^That's already 27. We just need to know who are the other 13.

5, 5 Soundwaves! AH! HA! HA!
Bgrngod
HA nice. Now we can still have hope of an "official" satellite mode. What else would a third mode be?

Of course, I could just keep making jokes about him being a "Gazillionchanger".
Dormamu
Mmmmm......kibblelicious.
Maximus_Prime
I had a dream last night that we would see the in package pic of Soundwave within a couple days. This is crazy to me LOL

Can't wait to get Soundwave
Zaraxion1021
Triple Changer? Awesome! Can't wait for Soundwaves vehicle mode though.
T-Logicon
Im not big into the movie figures, but I can use Soundwave in my Destron Air Force. (kinda weird saying that) Looking forward to new flying vehicles.

Sounds like a lot, but the first movie gave us deluxe figures for 20 characters:
  • Optimus Prime
  • Starscream
  • Barricade
  • Brawl
  • Bonecrusher
  • Swindle
  • Skorponok
  • Wreckage
  • Bumblebee
  • Jazz
  • Arcee
  • Dreadwing
  • Longarm
  • Payload
  • Dropkick
  • Cliffjumper
  • Landmine
  • Stockade
  • Overcast
  • Salvage

More deluxes were released as well, but those didn't represent new characters. So while 24 sounds like a lot, it's not that unexpected. Also note that it's quite unlikely we'll get 24 new deluxe molds, since some characters will be repaints of others.

i epically hope soundwave gets an earth based alt mode. but if all else fails, ill buy that soundwave.

Did anyone else notice how Bumblebee appears to have one hand? The right arm appears to be remolded.
