Chinese onlime stores shopee.tw and goods.ruten.com.tw have added listings for a new Transformers 35th Anniversary Soundblaster showing a small image of the box layout.
We got a quick glimpse of this figure at Toyfair 2019. He was displayed (together with some other toys) for some hours at the event and then the display was removed. The box reveals a black repaint of the Siege Voyager Soudnwave mold. This name and deco is inspired in the new look of Soundwave after his death and rebirth in the Japanese G1 cartoon “The Headmasters”.
We are yet to see a clear shot of the toy itself, but you can check the mirrored images after the jump. Let us know your impressions on the 2005 Boards!

Oh boy, hoping this line isn’t just Walmart exclusive and is a shared online retailer exclusive or something.

I would like a Soundblaster but while Siege Soundwave looks fantastic in bot mode , i am not very keen on the space barge vehicle mode …. thats why i will likely pass up on soundblaster
payres
No.
With the battle packs we could make a good guess thanks to past form and listings on Amazon sites worldwide.
Nothing to go on here.
Won't be surprised to see them as shared online exclusives.

Finally, the glorious return of NEW SOUNDWAVE!

Yup and having been privy to how they work behind the scenes, if it was enough to piss them off, they would've already sent an informal request for removal followed by escalation to legal action.

Im not sure they put that much thought into it. Being that ive been to a few botcons in the past, I can tell you that hasbro likes to have their big moment. This definitely is not the way they wanted it.

that would be ok, but I think TR blaster is enough
YoungPrime
Right, which could be a tease to what a retooled Blaster may look like.
Predakwon
Gah, at quick glance thought this was coming with a Rumble.
Oh well, another Siege figure that will be bought

I've been wanting a G2/comic Hot Rod for a while now.

I had the same reaction. Would love to get actual confirmation.

Sarcasm aside, it does seem so a lot of the time.
(Still pining for a Marvel colors Ratchet)

At first I was gonna skip. But then I realized were finally getting a Classics styled Soundblaster and that's pretty awesome so yes, very excite. Ratbat maybe?

So no numbering for these then?

"Really want a Soundblaster, but I'm not sure if I like the mold enough to actually get it," he said, knowing full-well that he would eventually cave and get it anyways.
Also, do we know for sure yet how this 35th anniversary wave is going to be released? Will it be regular retail, or will it be an online exclusive like Selects?

It looks like this he is slightly remolded, his chest plate seems to be bigger to hold more than one cassete

Hasbro fuming? Haha. Nah, towards the outside world they will be like "Damn leaks!" but secretly they are smiling. Free advertisement, they don't spend a dime and yet the whole fandom knows what is coming. Realize that most of this is already finished product. Nothing that is leaked is pure drawing board. How come? It is because at this point they slack a bit "deliberately" knowing full well some people might leak but it is so far down the game that it is practically already in the store. From distribution perspective.
