It includes Lazerbeak, Buzzsaw, and Ravage. There will only be 2000 units, available at SURU and comic/hobby shops.

Hasbro is currently showing a sample of it, inside the Transformers booth at Comicon. Here are some pics from Les, the designer. Shout out to Mr. Hahn for overseeing it's golden glory on our end (no, it's not real gold).

The LINKIN PARK SOUNDWAVE will be available later this year."

The images have been mirrored here, and feel free to check out the previous images that were posted from San Diego Comic Con here.
