    I'm interested in buying the character Soundbarrier, but yet I don't see it on Hasbropulse and only see it on other websites. Will it be available on Hasbropulse eventually? Why isn't it on Hasbropulse?

    I'm sorry, my bad. It's late and I'm tired and coming down with something and my brain isn't registering what I'm reading very well.

    It's this little blue and white guy, right?

    Soundbarrier is Earthrise and should still be available at Targets, some Walmarts, and online stores. Hasbro Pulse is notorious for running out of stock on high-demand items very quickly. I got all of mine at Target.

    No, I was interested in Soundbarrier and not Sound Blaster.

    I found mine at a local Target. I've seen him pop up again more recently (at another Target). I know some people were also able to get him from Amazon. I'll keep an eye out and let you know if I see another at Target.

    Thanks! I actually couldn't find Walmart, Target, or Hasbro Pulse's website. It's like it disappeared.

    HasbroPulse hasn't been carrying ANY of the Battlemasters. My guess is that it has to do with the price - aside from older stuff, it doesn't seem like they've stocked any TF figures under ten bucks.

    Transformers War for Cybertron: Earthrise Battle Masters Wave 1 Set of 2 Figures

    It appears many online retailers aren't offering low-priced Battlemasters at all because of the low profit margin. If you don't want to dump a crapton of money on just one small figure, you might have better luck in actual stores, or you just order a set with Smashdown from BBTS, which seems like one of the cheapest alternatives. Seriously. I'd rather pay for an extra toy I don't want and still pay less than other stores want for just that one figure.

    Definitely agree with what Nevermore said. I ended up having to get that very Smashdown/Soundbarrier set at BBTS because no one locally carried the battlemasters and I couldn't find Soundbarrier anywhere else at the time. If you don't want it, you can always sell the extra Smashdown and recoup some of the cost of the set. I was also prepared to do the same with Slitherfang and Rung.

    I just saw a bunch of Soundbarriers at a retail store, though shipping from Germany to the US is currently not worth it for such a small figure.
