Thanks to a heads up from site sponsors, we have news that another popular Masterpiece figure is set for a re-release, and this time it is the long sought after MP-13 Soundwave with Laserbeak!

Soundwave has been a Masterpiece figure issued and then gone, leaving many people with a serious case of the wants but just cannot have. But it looks as though those wants can finally become haves! Soundwave transforms into his classic cassette player alternate mode, and he comes once more with Laserbeak, transforming into his faithful cassette.

According to our site sponsors, who include TFsouce, BigBadToyStore, Robot Kingdom, Ages 3 and Up, and The Chosen Prime, Soundwave will be due out in November, making for a very expensive Fall/Autumn season for the Masterpiece line!

We've included the product description below, along with some images of the soon to be coming reissue. Let us know what you think in the comments section below!

Product Features:
- Masterpiece G1 Scale Figure
- Figure stands approximately 8.5" tall in robot mode

Figure Includes:
- MP-13 Masterpiece Soundwave Figure
- 1 x Laserbeak/Condor Fully Transformable Cassette
- 1 x Concussion Blaster
- 1 x Clear Energon Cube
- 1 x Mini Megatron Gun
- 1 x Cassette Case for Laserbeak

You know, Takara, maybe it would be a good idea to reissue the tapes again too. Maybe make them all in one box and throw in Ratbat?

That North American initial release was one hell of a deal. Soundwave & 5 cassettes for about, what, $100USD?

It's still IMO the absolute BEST Transformers figure/bundle ever released. Great fun, articulation, toon/toy accuracy, plastic/paint quality... such a complete package for the price (I think it's too much to ask for Ratbat too)!

Of all the MPs I got, MP-13 is the one I transformed back and forth the most, much more than the next candidate (MP-10) and every joints are still tight as new. And those cassettes are all tiny engineering marvels. Each and every one of them are fun to transform.

Sadly those days of affordable MP collecting days are long gone...

So happy I got it. No other TF toy has given me that much joy. So those that still haven't got to experience MP-13, this is a great opportunity to get it.

I remember when the Hasbro release of MP Soundwave came out. I also distinctly remember it being scalped to Hell.

I waaaaay overpaid for my Hasbro Soundwave, but he's an amazing figure. Glad that others who didn't get the chance can get him now.
