I only want to get one of the following:

Tru Soundwave Reissue
Soundwave Encore
Takara Soundwave Reissue
Takara Soundblast Reissue

First question:
Is there any major differences between Encore, Tru, and Takara Reissue besides the obvious packaging?

Second question:
Is Soundblast that much better? Why are people paying like 3x more for Soundblaster when compared to Soundwave.

Final question:
Did Soundblaster ever even exist in the cartoons?

Thanks in advance!

The TRU Soundwave is actuly a Soundblaster toy in Soundwave colors.

He fits two cassts in his cheast instead of one.
The differnce between the Hasbro and TAK versions are as far as I'm concearned that the bullets don't shoot on the Hasbro one.

Soundblaster shawed up in the Headmasters cartons.

One more question, do the same cassettes come with all of them?

The TRU one comes with Ravage and Lazerbeak.
Just like the TAKARA colection Soundblaster.
The Encore one comes only with Lazerbeak I think

Dead Metal's right.

I have takara reissue Soundwave #10 and Soundblaster #18, soundblaster fits 2 cassettes, and comes with 2 plastic little cassette holder/cases for the cassettes, and soundwave comes with one. It is the same cassettes for all of them, as it is always lazerbeak and ravage, but tfc soundwave only comes with lazerbeak, with the others coming with what dead metal has already reffered to.

Soundblaster was created from Soundwaves remains after Blaster and Soundwave battled to the "death" in the Headmasters cartoon series.
Blaster was also resurrected a couple of episodes later as Twincast. Twincast can hold 2 cassettes as well.

Looking at my TRU and my Encore right now, and Encore Soundwave, like the original, comes with Buzzsaw and not Laserbeak. The coloring is orange-gold, plainly different from the very red shade on the TRU issue cassette. Can't speak for the others as I don't own them...

Judge, I thought Encore came with Buzzsaw. Thanks for confirming.

TFC Soundwave - Flat chest, dont know who he came with.
TFC Soundblaster - Black, 2 cassette chest comes with Laserbeak (red one) and Ravage.
TrU Soundwave - 2 cassette chest, comes with Laserbeak (red one)
Encore Soundwave - Flat chest, comes with Buzzsaw (yellow one)

TrU and Encore should be easily avialable, but both the TFC ones are damn expensive now. If you find one for a price you're willing to pay though, get TFC Soundblaster, the black makes ALL the difference.
