Courtesy of eBay seller lena81822 we get a look at the unreleased Transformers: Dark of the Moon Deluxe Soundblaster. The figure was intended to be part of the MechTech Deluxe Wave 7 "Movie Trilogy", which would have also included a Bumblebee redeco, a Rachet redeco, and Wheeljack redeco with new head mold. The only figure to ever see the light of day from the "Movie Trilogy" line being the Deluxe Optimus Prime with Trailer. The seller seems to have supply of these, so hopefully additional images of the figure posed in robot mode will surface soon.

Stupid question maybe, but was that Wheeljack ever released?
I was a bit stunned when I saw him here...

DotM Wheeljack was only released by Hasbro in Asia, and in Japan by TakaraTomy under the name "Autobot Que".
If you indeed saw that Wheeljack in Holland (in a Bart Smit I'm assuming), it's probably overstock being imported for cheap. Bart Smit has imported Japanese Movie Decepticon figures a few years back, so it can be anything. My local ones are all cleared out though.

Wow, they were planning a Soundwave repaint, and the original never hit stores. At least by me. I'd like to get my hands on a movie Soundwave.

These were the DOTM Deluxe toys people wanted, yet they were held back towards the end of the line while earlier waves got figures that shelfwarmed to death (and in some place still do to this day).

I can't stand that they take an existing figure, darken the colors and change the name. Atleast with G1 Goldbug we got a whole new figure for the character.

This guy had an ultra ultra rare canceled figure from a line that was never released, and then he just sold it to some guy on ebay. I can't believe someone would do something like that. It breaks my heart to see something so precious go to waste. You could say that figure was in a G1 Unicron status.

I think that's a bit of a stretch, lol. This guy obviously had a case of these things (he's been posting them for a couple weeks). They must have made it through production before being canceled, so they never got packaged. That or he (or someone he knows) stole them from whatever warehouse they're being stored in.
TL;DR: It's hardly "G1 Unicron." Dotm Soundwave got produced, just not released in North America (it and Que even shelfwarmed, if I recall correctly), but the redeco never saw release, but was obviously made.

I really don't like the movie toy general look, all lanky and panely, but I must say, this toy looks pretty nice. It's too bad it wasn't domestically released.....I'd have liked to see some more pictures of it.

Yeah. Both Soundblaster and Twincast were retooled slightly so they could store up to two cassettes. Otherwise, the only other differences from their parent molds were the decos.
Care to specify?
Same deal. I didn't even look in their general direction, much less touch 'em, I was so disappointed by the line's collective gimmick. The only one I legitimately thought was a good one was the Japanese version of Air Raid (minus the MechTech weapon, of course).

I wonder how many the seller has? As they have listed another.
Glad I got mine when I did, as the last auction to end was getting up to nearly twice as much as I paid for mine.

He has listed a new starting bid of $100.00 vs $60 that he has used in the past. As for how many he has, that would be interesting to know. I do believe they are the only ones that carry them though after my extensive searching.

I haz the Soundwave and Que, Soundwave's great, better then the Human Alliance in my opinion.
Not to crazy of my Que's colours and head, the Wheeljack version looks a lot better.
Damn, I didn't know Bart Smit had them, otherwise I wouldn't have to buy them online.
I got them for a good price when they were just listed so no big loss here.
I just whish they didn't use the 2 leader slots on Bumblebee and Ironhide but on Megatron and Shockwave.
Otherwise the DOTM line isn't to bad, just the worst of the 3 movie lines

I never said that, merely that it would be a possibility however unlikely it may be. All I saw in overstock was Autobot Armor Topspin, so at least Dark Steel, Air Raid and possibly Track Battle Roadbuaster could have been sighted elsewhere as well. Anything beyond those waves is still possible, but in the air.

Canceled stuff makes it onto ebay quite frequently. Wouldn't it be more of a waste for the seller to hold onto the samples they have?

There were a lot of disappointments for me with the DotM line, namely no leader Megs or Shockwave, no deluxe Dino, no legends Lazerbeak, and no voyager Dreds. Could've done with a new voyager Ratchet mold, too. So many missed opportunities. However, after finally giving in and importing deluxe Soundwave, Que, and Leadfoot, and ordering Amazon's Jetwing Prime, slapping them all with Reprolabels, I think my DotM shelves look REALLY impressive now. On one shelf I have deluxe BB facing off against deluxe Soundwave, while deluxe Ratchet and Que face off again deluxe Barricade. On the other, I have deluxe Sideswipe facing off against leader Sentinel Prime while Jetwing Prime and all three wrechers charge in for backup.
My opinion is that the DotM line is not as good as RotF due to smaller sizes, MechTech gimmick, fewer paint apps, and that the line really is incomplete. But the only DotM molds I have that I'm not crazy about are Roadbuster and Soundwave. It really bugs me that they have back kibble that hangs down to their knees. TF engineers are better than that. Really happy with everything else that I have from the line, though. Voyager Ironhide is really underrated.

I bought mine on ebay from the seller whose auctions have been linked in this thread. If you message them directly, you can probably arrange a BiN (that is what I did).
Alternately, I'll be glad to lend it to you once I get it and take my own pics
Hit me up on PM if you wanna do that.

Seibertron.com member Transformers Hoarder dropped by the Energon Pub to share images of his recently acquired unreleased Transformers Movie Trilogy Deluxe Soundblaster. The figure was originally intended to be released along side repaints of Bumlbebee, Wheeljack (with G1 style head), and Ratchet as MechTech Wave 7, which would have been part of the aforementioned Movie Trilogy line. Images of the proposed line where shown during Hasbro's panel presentation at NYCC back in 2011. The line was ultimately scrapped with only the deluxe Optimus Prime with Trailer seeing the light of day on retail shelves. Enjoy Transformers Hoarder's images below.

Pretty cool looking figure even with the horrible back kibble. I probably would've picked one up if it came out, no way in hell id call it soundwave though id have to rename it like i do with most of the movie figures.

Ill laugh if these things start showing up in TJ Maxx next year. With all the repaints Hasbro shoots out of it's anus, there's bound to be a few pallets of these things gathering dust in some warehouse. Same thing for deluxe Leadfoot with the Target symbol. They just haven't been snuck out yet by crooked employees.

To be honest though, most of the line was comprised of large amounts of fail. Particularly the MechTech weapons.

For me all that's wrong with this mold is the back pack it's an awesome repaint very evil looking. I too find it very strange these are seeing the light of day 
i know this has become a rare figure since its ebay debut but i can't help think it's gonna get a retail release and i for one will hold off from paying those ebay prices .

I could, in principal, see the REGULAR versions showing up on this side of the Pacific eventually... Yeah, I know, it's wishful thinking at best. It sucks that they shelfwarmed in Asia while we never even SAW them.
But, then again, there IS another movie line in the works, and it wouldn't surprise me to see some redecos.

Remember the "rare" ROTF red Rampage and Evac that wound up in TJ Maxx ? Maybe these might not have been packaged, but the fact that these have such nice tampos leads me to believe there's a hidden stash in some warehouse. Maybe the guy only took a dozen so it wouldn't be noticed. I'm sure that Bumblebee will pop up soon as well.

Remember the "rare" ROTF red Rampage and Evac that wound up in TJ Maxx ? Maybe these might not have been packaged, but the fact that these have such nice tampos leads me to believe there's a hidden stash in some warehouse. Maybe the guy only took a dozen so it wouldn't be noticed. I'm sure that Bumblebee will pop up soon as well.

These Soundwaves, however, are merely finished factory samples that aren't fit for brick-and-mortar standard retail sales. No mass production or packaging = no TJ Maxx.

Those were mass produced, and therefore could show up in stores. I even saw the red Rampage at Kmart and Walmart a few times.Rated X wrote:Sabrblade wrote:That would take a whole miracle considering these were never even mass-produced, much less even packaged.

I wouldn't so no to that. There are far too many molds that have been missed in the US market over the past 5 years. They've got to have something up their sleeves or else Hasbro just doesn't want to make money. I don't believe the latter so I believe the former will happen and in ways that aren't expecting. We've seen too many rules to "traditions" broken to count out opportunities like certain figures getting a release at some point that we never thought possible.

Thing is, ever since Animated, the final figures of each major Hasbro toyline (minus ROTF) keep getting dropped or put on hold indefinitely. Animated, Robot Heroes, Reveal the Shield, and DOTM all had their final toys canceled. The fact that the Prime First Edition toys got a second run and that PRID Voyager Skyquake managed to get released at all are quite shocking.

Well, I meant as the figures are now. If Hasbro gets on the ball and produces more of them and makes packaging and instructions and all that for them, then yeah I could see it happening.Seibertron wrote:Sabrblade wrote:These Soundwaves, however, are merely finished factory samples that aren't fit for brick-and-mortar standard retail sales.

Got mine yesterday! Last night was too busy for me to shoot light tent shots, but here's a crummy cell phone pic:

If anyone is interested in picking one up, another has been listed and comes to a end in about a day.

Mine arrived today, numbered 040. I believe the auction I won was the 2nd public eBay auction. Paid £88 for mine

I'm guessing the well has run dry at this point, as the seller hasn't anymore listed. I'd been keeping an eye on the auctions as I'd have bought a 2nd if I could have got it for a similar price to my first one so I could display bot and alt mode together. Ah, we'll at least I was lucky enough to get one

Any idea how many altogether were auctioned?
