The Premier Toy Galleries of Seibertron.com have been updated with the Gathering at the Nemesis boxset. The set is a Toys 'R' Us Exclusive that includes 3 Decepticon figures. The first is Megatron, a brand new repaint of 2007 Movie Voyager Megatron, slightly similar to Best Buy Voyager Megatron. The second is the Voyager Fallen, unchanged from it's original release. The last is a blue repaint of Deluxe Soundwave, reminiscent to his G1 self. With the Fallen being unchanged, only the two other have been put into the galleries. Check out the box, the figures, and each molds previous incarnations in the links below.

Megatron

Blue Soundwave

If you're interested in the set and have yet to see it in retail, you can order it off Toys 'R' Us's online shop on sale here.

Keep it tuned to Seibertron.com for more galleries and updates!

Blue Soundwave is awesome. The set looks really great except for The Fallen's unfortunate robowang in package. I think I'm going to keep it MISB and get a ring of Post-It Note arrows to encircle the offending appendage. No one will ever look away.

EVER.

Soundwave is that good, that I actually want to shell out the $75 Canadian to get this. I wonder if Ryan is going to get Chara Hobby Soundwave. That would be a very nice gallery..

For some reason I'm having trouble viewing the actual images (something about an SQL error?), but from previous images and the thumbs, I actually think this Soundwave's a little underwhelming. The original already had some G1 homage to it, but this one doesn't really improve on that. The translucent plastic they use just doesn't look very good. The addition of silver paint is nice, however.

I won't go out of my way to get it, but I see Soundwave on its own for a good price I might pick it up.

Good grief, $75 Canadian?

Yup.
2 x Voyager = 2 x $30 = $60
1 x Deluxe = 1 x $16 = $16
=$76.

We save one dollar.
L-O-L.

I'm tempted to make a drive down the border and save like $30.

I really like this set, but cannot justify paying $50 for it. The blue soundwave is very appealing to me and this megatron is more movie accurate than the blue (which i have) but the best version is the one from bestbuy by far hands down.

Here's some interesting information if anyone is interesting getting this set. Looks like toysrus.com has this marked down from $49.99 to $39.00 http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.js ... Id=3548261 check it out. For this price it may not be a bad idea to pick it up.

Same here. None of the blue Soundwave image links are working right.

Soundwave's gallery has been fixed.

why put a Megatron from the first movie in a collection about the second movie?

this isn't like most of the others where they're the same thing just updated and more movie acurate. Megatron looks different and transforms into different things in the second movie so the nerd in me thinks this is just retarded. lol

Maybe it represents a moment where these three gathered together at the Nemesis at a point prior to the first movie? Or it could also represent the remains of Megs' dead body before he got rebuilt, as this figure looks like a duller version of the Best Buy metallic Megs, and when charatcers die, sometimes there bodies turn dull colors.

Speaking of which...

Seibs, think you can double-check the colors of Screen Battles Megatron and Gathering Megatron? I'm starting to think the plastic colors and paint match exactly except for the translucent bits, which were just switched to white. :???:

they are most definitely different colors. Screen Battles Megatron is a tannish color, whereas Gathering Megatron is grey, closer in color to the Premium Megatron.

The Screen Battles Megatron will be added to the site in the near future. Pictures are done ... just not my biggest priority to get that gallery ready for the site at the moment. Hopefully within the next month.

Thanks.

Now I just need to track one down for all three figures.

I reeealy like that Soundwave, not much a fan of the Fallen's figure and i already got the premium megs from before but i got a question/statement This stuff isn't in the sightings but I've seen it around toys'rus and if you haven't seen it yet keep an eye out.

Picked this one up at my local Toys R Us and love it!! it was originally $50 dollars but it's on sale right now for $40 dollars. The blue Soundwave is a much better figure then the deluxe Soundwave which is a sky bluish which I don't like. I had the Sky Blue Soundwave and gave it to my nephew as he likes playing with them. Definitely recommend picking this toy up.
