This may have been covered already, but has anyone else noticed that the boxes and instructions for both Soundwave and Soundblaster show them both with their respective guns, but no guns are included with the figures?
Understandably there are, and have been, variations between figures and box "art" but this one bugged me.

I was wondering that. The back of the box even shows a weapon included.

Yep, and when I opened Soundwave the instructions featured the same gun. I shot Hasbro an email letting them know, and I've already received two call backs asking me to clarify what was wrong with them and now it's at the hands of the R&D department. Apparently they are going to alter the packaging or add a gun? I guess we'll see, whichever is cheaper I'm sure.

I'm sure it will be small print at the bottom saying "gun not included" if anything at all

Most likely. I thought that too, but wondered if and how many complaints they get if it will make a difference.

I think it's lame that HasTak has chosen not to fully arm SW as they did in the WFC line. Even more so Prime SW suffered not getting a decent weapon.
I have mentioned this before and perhaps others have too...did you notice the Optimus Prime-like guns both Soundwave and Soundblaster on sporting on the back package?

He actually WAS holding G1 Prime's rifle in the original shots we saw of him.

Very lame, at least the Takara Prime (AM) figures get an Arms Micron.

And for comparison, the gun featured on the back of the Soundblaster box and the G1 Optimus gun...

Hasbro just got back to me and advised me that nothing is going to change and I do not have a defective product. No guns are supposed to come along with the figure. Not surprised considering it's a molded blaster from 1984. But it would be nice for them to acknowledge this kind of feedback and at least add "gun not included" as dirk pointed out above.
