RUMOR: Meeting at Nemesis Soundwave... Now Sold Separately?

I could save some bucks if it's not a mistake .

No twist ties? Fake.

I'm going for fake. They would have come up with some name like "Deep Space Soundwave" or something like that. With a different back card piece thing and head shot. If this is genuine, I'll retract this but I want to see a pic of the back of it.

EDIT 1: Another reason I think it's fake is because I doubt Hasbro would take the only reason people are going to buy a $50 boxset and sell it individually.

Couldn't one have just repackaged this figure in the first Soundwave's packaging?

I'm going with fake here...is it just me or did anyone else notice something that looks like condensation along the to[ and bottom of the blister. I also looked very closely at where the blister would adhere to the card and you can definitely see white where the blister was possibly cut loose from card. I also think I see sotch tape on the side of the card...totally going with fake here. Also agree that there would be a new name for the figure.

Maybe it will be in both the Nemesis Set, and as a separate toy

GOOD ILL BUY HIM ALONE. I REALLY DONT LIKE THE FIRST COLOR SCHEME BECAUSE GREY IS A CRAPPY EXCUSE FOR REPRESENTATION OF METAL WHICH SHOULD BE SILVER LIKE SIDESWIPES PAINT JOB. WHY CANT THEY JUST GIVE THEM ALL SILVER, AND STOP PUTTING OUT GREY TRANSFORMERS LIKE THE FIRST MOVIE MEGATRONS. THEN THEY TRY TO SUCKER YOU WITH A "PREMIUM" FIGURE WITH THE CORRECT SILVER FINISH 6 MONTHS LATER...

I'm seeing twist ties around the hands and feet.

New glasses for It Is Him. Needed.

Not sure where you are seeing the supposed tape. I don't see it (of course the tape could still be there).

And guys, there is a precedent for this type of packaging. Look at the Japanese Universe versions of Onslaught, Powerglide and Silverbolt. They were repaints sold in packaging that looked like the original American versions. Why can't that be the case here? I'm just not so convinced it's a fake here.

Yeah, I saw that too and thought it could be fake. However, I checked some online pictures regarding the Soundwave figure. I've seen that same line before now. Heck, some bubbles can take quite a beating in stores. I don't think that white line proves a whole lot.

edit: My bad. Wrong pic.
