He hasn't been offered in Japan yet (neither has Ironhide, what the heck?), but when he is he should be less after the typical Japanese discounts, though shipping may hurt depending on how fast you want it.

So, SS Bee Bug is no big news after all?

When we think of Walmart Transformers exclusives, the first thing that comes to mind is toys but today we have something different for you. Fellow Seibertronian and (CW) Optimus Prime voice actor JON3.0 found some exclusive Opimus Prime gloves at Walmart in the US for $4.97 USD. These are not Optimus themes gloves but rather blue gloves to emulate Optimus' hand colour in the G1 cartoon.

In Canada, the same week, yours truly found an Exclusive Bumblebee costume for the Bumblebee movie. This is different than the previously reported costume since this one has a hard plastic cover for the chest section rather than being all fabric. It retails for $34.98 CAD.

Thank you Walmart! I’ll get some more pictures posted after I open these guys up, probably tomorrow.

With the Transformers Bumblebee movie toyline now hitting shelves across the world, Hasbro has updated their YouTube channel with several videos advertising the toyline.

The big one to note here is this one featuring Transformers Bumblebee movie actor Jorge Lenderborg Jr playing around with a DJ Bumblebee toy showing off its features.

We also have several videos featuring the Nitro subline, though these have been posted up by Hasbro Brazil

Individual toy videos:

Finally, we have a new video for Power Charge Bumblebee.

Have you had any luck in getting these? Let us know in the comments and stay tuned to Seibertron for all the latest news and reviews.

I wonder if an adult sized version would be ridiculously priced like the last one I saw.

Primal Prime has provided the web with great comparison images between both versions of Transformers Leader Soundwave. The latest release which is exclusive to Target for the Bumblebee movie line (and now thanks to the latest trailers, we know why this is happening) and the previous release is from the Titans Return line.

Edited: He does come with his shoulder cannon and rifle, both in a plastic bag in the right side of the package. They are both the same molds as the Titans return version, with the rifle painted silver and the shoulder cannon painted with new red paint details on the missile tips.

We also see how different the deco is with the Bumblebee movie release having darker paint apps. The biggest difference is in the alt mode, of coure, where we see retooled speakers. There is also a lot fo added deco for details like the channel tuning. The Titan Master component also has deco differences.

Which do you preffer? Let us know!

Well, I can be honest when I say that I do not think I need that Soundwave at all.

Does this cost as much as the previous release? Because, if so, there is no excuse for the weapons to be omitted. That knowledge has just shifted this from a "maybe" to a definite "no". I imagine I will not be alone in this sentiment.

Yes, it is 50$ USD. I dont udnerstand it either since I thought it was all part of the same master mold (on the same sprues). I dont get the reason for this omission.

Quick note here.. the Bumblebee movie Soundwave DOES come with the weapons. The shoulder cannon and a silver rifle are included in a plastic bag in the right side of the package. They are both the same molds as the Titans return version, but the rifle is silver and the shoulder cannon has new red paint detail on the missile tips.

Are we sure this wasn't just Primal Prime's bad luck him not coming with weapons? He had them at SDCC and that was a finished product at the time.

The Bumblebee Movie Soundwave DOES come with his gun and shoulder cannon. It is in a little bag that is attached to the inside of the packaging on the right side of the box. Is it possible that your's did not come with one or maybe it got thrown away?

Oh no! Quick, Primal Prime! Go pull that box out of the trash! :shock:

I actually do like the new player sculpt better. Though not enough to buy the toy again.

Since I never bothered to buy Soundwave (or Blaster), I went ahead and picked this one up.

Easily forgotten-in-the-package parts? This pleases Dark Crumplezone.

There is another. Does anyone have Movie the Best Soundwave? Apparently, he comes with a missile for his non included gun. I never saw that missile and learnt of this way after throwing away the box.

Weird, never heard of that. Source on that info? All the MB stuff displayed accessories pretty prominently so I'm skeptical. I can believe it, just surprised if it's true. Mine would also be in the garbage if so.

My source is TF Wiki

Released as part of TakaraTomy's Transformers Movie The Best toyline to conclude the 10th anniversary of the live-action film series, this Soundwave is an extensive redeco of his Human Alliance toy, without the Laserbeak and the Mr. Gould figure. Bizarrely, the missile from Laserbeak is included—with nothing to fire it from, it is best used as a club to beat unsuspecting Autobots... provided that you manage to fit it in Soundwave's incredibly wide grip.

https://tfwiki.net/wiki/Soundwave_(ROTF)#Movie_The_Best

EDIT: I checked several video reviews and none mention it. In fact, most mention the fact that he comes devoid of any accessoies. So either all of us have that missile in the garbage, or TFWiki is lieing through their teeth.
