I like that Soundwave. Kinda cool he gets a second chance in the stores.

Dead End put me off that design altogether, pathetic legs and a broken wing. Soundwave looks great though.

Hate to say it, but that's the best that we're gonna get with Dino/Mirage, for several reasons:

1) We already have a Cyberverse Mirage based on Legends Sideways
2) An all new Dino mold is out of the question, since he's not in the cast
3) And perhaps most importantly, Mattel has an exclusive license for making toys based on Ferraris, which Dino/Mirage is. So grab your torches and pitchforks, you know where to go.

Not a big fan of movie toys to begin with but that Soundwave looks pretty good.

TakaraTomy has also updated the Movie Advanced Series list with the two. But no sign of AD18 and AD19 yet. I'm still calling Wheeljack for one of those slot, the other... Leadfoot again?

Picture of Mirage was stretched, so I went and fixed it:

I don't know where you guys are from but I'm from Louisiana, where this version and the HA figure never hit the stores

Hence it being a "second chance" since it missed out on its first chance.

Hence, how in the world can you have a 2nd chance, when you never got the 1st chance? He's not getting a 2nd chance in stores, because he never got a 1st chance in stores. I'm sorry maybe it's me....

He got released before in non-U.S. countries. Japan and East Asia, at least, did see DOTM Soundwave and Wheeljack in their stores.

So this toy is the second release of the mold.

He got chances of being released in stores, and only once or twice did it come true. Here's the list, with the ones in italics canceled:

1a) Deluxe Soundwave (US release)
1b) DD-13 Soundwave (TakaraTomy)
2) Deluxe Soundwave (Hasbro Asia release)

3) Movie Trilogy Soundwave
4) AD17 Darkside Soundwave
