Toys R Us Japan have updated their website with official images of the Japanese market Transformers Movie Advance series releases for June, Dino and Soundblaster. Dino was an Autobot who featured in Transformers Dark of the Moon, but never had a toy release back then – this release finally lets fans add Dino to their Autobot lineup. He’s a remolded Revenge of the Fallen Sideways. Alongside Dino is Soundblaster or “Darkside Soundwave” as he is officially known. He’s a redeco of the Dark of the Moon Soundwave who was intended to be released as a part of the post Dark of the Moon movie all-stars line which never saw a release.
Both are arriving next month, in June – until then, check out these updated official images of the pair.

Soundwave is awesome! I already have the silver one, but this one's a must have.
I still hope we'll also get Wheeljack at some point.

Can't wait for soundwave. I have had him pre-ordered since it was available since I don't want to have to pay the price increase its guaranteed to have when it starts appearing on ebay and amazon.

June, according to BBTS.

I'm glad I pre-ordered Dino and Soundwave (that's what he's listed as, so that's what I'm calling him)

When is Dino/Mirage suppose to release?

OMG, that Soundblaster looks awesome.
I want one! I want one!

After looking at some screen caps of Dino, online, I am quite happy with this figure. The vehicle mode is exactly what I was hoping for, but the robot mode is as close as you're going to get and it looks damn close.
This is precisely why I preordered him.
I realize it was once a Decepticon mold, and I happen to like the Sideways mold, but he was on screen for maybe a minute and died just as fast, and he got a toy. Dino was seen throughout DOTM and received nothing but a Hot Wheels knockoff. This is what he truly deserves. The head is remolded to look like him, he has the arm blades, the whole look.
Hell yes.

I just want a shot at HA Soundwave, is that too much to ask?

Dino/Mirage is locked under Deluxe class. From a rough estimate, I picked up my Takara Crosshairs off Ebay for $40, so that may be the pricepoint. I'm not sure though.
Can someone confirm for me? Thanks!

How much for Dino?

Too bad they couldn't make him into a Ferrari 458 Italia like he is in the movie. I think he would look better if he transformed from a Ferrai to a robot but oh well you work with what you can I guess when you are Hasbro/Takara.

The only Dino toy in existence. I will take whatever I can get. Pre-ordered.

Glad I didn't cave in for this soundwave on ebay.
Now bring on white Wheeljack!!

Remold or not, I'm glad we finally got a Dino.

Dino/Mirage is looking good. Definitely picking him up. Soundblaster… looks alright in black but I'm just not a fan of the DOTM Deluxe Soundwave mold (having owned him; he stays in alt mode), to be honest. Really hope that mystery Voyager Decepticon figure in the Advanced movie line turns out to be Human Alliance Soundwave (with silver paint this time; now this mold of SW I really like).

I Want Mirage Now.

I just hope nothing goes wrong with Anime Export. Because I really want Mirage/Dino.

I'm glad that Soundblaster was uncancelled, he looks like a thing of beauty.
Dino/Mirage looks good too despite my dislikement towards the Sideways mold.
