Transformers Bumblebee Movie Target Exclusive Soundwave Found in the US

Welp, time to add this to the list of figures that I need to watch for. Was hoping I'd have a little more time, but it's good to know it's out now, and part of the new movie line which means it's more likely to be picked up by stores

Soundwave G1/Masterpiece superior all other Soundwaves inferior

Also, holy shit, I never made a top 5 Soundwave toys list. Might wait to see what we get in WFC

That would be a list to see. Still, I'm pretty sure the G1 original is at least in the top five.

The top 5 soundwave figures would be a pretty short list, masterpiece, g1, g1 dual tape, worlds smallest, then animated and prime would have to fight it out (animated should would win for his guitar alone and being'life sized' as a kids toy in robot mode, ratbat or lasereak as guitars. Prime has storage and 'ejectability' for his one non cassette cassette bot, tho he would beat the animated version in a fight).

There's a lot more Soundwaves. Enough that I just can't display them all together and I even sold the INFERIOR ones.

Not sure if Tesco are getting them too, but in the UK Soundwave and the cassettes will be available through Argos:

True there is a lot more sound waves out. I think music label soundwave would even push the animated/prime figures off my list. But I'm a sucker for any soundwave figure for the most part (excluding satellite and FOC, the Titans return figure was almost a pass with it being leader class sized).

It works super well with the other leader seekers and megatron. And he sure looks the part,plus he interacts with the new casettes.

Can you really pick just 5? Top 10 or GTFO


The vanallia Prime Soundwave is chilling with the other Prime figures. Kinda kills me to not have them all together. The Cassettebots have their own shelf space now.

my main problem will be how to judge FOC soundwave accurately. I just hate how that toy feels. And the gimmick doesnt work well AAARGH!

Anyways, the ones I would be considering would be Prime, RID, MP, Animated, G1, HA/MTB and TR battling it out with FOC and Cybertron being tossed the wayside. But then again, I might wait to see if we finally get a good voyager soundwave from this new Generations line.

VW Bumblebee, Shadow Raider and DotM Ratchet are up for preorder on BBTS, set for an October release - just snagged my set! May have to wait on Ratchet and Shadow Raider for a bit because rent but I'll at least get Bee.

I LOVE voyager FOC Soundwave. But it's true that unfortunately the cassette ejecting gimmink just don't work.

I'd expect a new Soundwave for New WFC, to at least have a Lamppost mode in some way.

Oher Soundwaves to toss by the wayside, Titanium, and Machine Wars. The former because he's objectively the worst Soundwave, and the latter because he's really not really Soundwave in my eyes.

Oh if there is one thing for certain, its that Machine War Soundwave would NEVER be near thst list

Titanium soundwave too of course

Excuse me, I like that MW figure, it is cool.

Also, time to go Bee movie hunting! I passed on Soundwave in TR and I'm super stoked to hunt him down now

I don't think there's anything wrong with the toy in and of itself. But a Soundwave it is not. Had they called him Shockwave, and given him a suitable head I would not have had an issue.

But I just don't see how Soundwave is a grey and maroon missile tank. It would be like making Prowl a pink and black Jet, or making Starscream a purple and yellow car (Alternity notwithstanding).

The universe repaint evokes Shockwave more than it does Soundwave.

With the latest rounds of reveals from Transformers Bumblebee Movie, and confirmation that Blue Light was indeed new Decepticon character Dropkick, we have a video review for the Energon Igniter series version of the character, sporting the blue muscle car mode (rather than the helicopter seen in the Studio Series version of the character).

The video, shared with us by fellow Seibertronian PrimeVsPrime, shows the Energon Igniter gimmick / power up mode, the vehicle mode, the robot mode and the very quick transformation between the two, as well as a quick comparison with Bumblebee himself. Check it out, and let us know what you think!

WalMart bother to have the new stuff. So the Bee Movie stuff are in, including the SS version. I'm only interested in the big Bug Bee and the smallest one.

How's the legion?
It is very good!

So I noticed the regular online retailers have MPM-07 for preorder at $90. Is that a Japanese import price? In other words, will I be able to get it cheaper by importing it myself? Will this get a regular US release (Amazon, Wal-mart, etc)?

A canada walmart had SS VW Bee? Thats huge news, got any proof?

If the display is not ravaged, I may go and take a picture.

Does anyone know if Bee movie stuff has shown up at Meijer yet?

How about this? Wal-Mart Laval Chomedey.

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.

Mpm 7 will be offered on Amazon

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.

It is, just not in this thread.

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

Oh. Right.

I just found this in my NY area

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!

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.

Available again folks!

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.

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.

Eh, probably just wrong, mistakes happen I'm sure if we crowdsourced our database, approvals of bad info would happen sometimes as well.
