After being severely mauled by Blaster ..........Soundwave, everybody's favorite opportunist/spymaster, bad@ss Darth Vader wannabe bites the dust!
Enter: SoundBlaster.
Colors: Black and chrome
Gimmicks: double chambered cassette holder, simultaneously holds both Ravage and Buzzsaw
Difference from the original Soundwave..........
1. Colors : blue to black, chest chamber yellow to purple.
2. Hologram: original has chest chamber attachment, Soundblaster on the other hand has the holo stuck to his left shoulder.
3. Instead of the simulated magnetic tape label on the mini tapes, this version has a grid like homonculi label on them.
4. Mini tape colored paint.....smoother, less "gold" unlike the original Buzzsaw.
5. Label less metallic/shiny in the new version
6. Chest chamber of Soundblaster has some more electrical/silicon chip like patterns as compared to the simple design of Soundwave.
7. Sculp and molding a lot more neater than my original.(I have an original Soundwave but it looks bleech.......molding not so fine, box doesn't indicate where it was made, also has a translation on the tech spec(spanish/french). Metal feet painted gloss black.
8. Stable when standing.
Buy factor: ...........got mine because I love Soundwave in all his forms................but d@mn Takara............why Ravage or Buzzsaw? Couldn't they have released the dinosaur tapes or the power linking Beast box? (My main complaint)

Yeah toymaster.........technically speaking, he is Soundwave. Just underwent massive reconstruction post mauling injuries from Blaster. Blaster (Broadcast) got severely damaged too......resurrected to Twincast (another uber rare Japanese repaint).
Takara sure knows how to squeeze a mold right?

just to add, the reissued soundwave was based on the soundblaster mold... ... AFAIK, takara couldnt find the original soundwave mold, so they modified soundblaster to look like soundwave... ... I sure hope takara also reissues Blaster and Twincast... Yeah toymaster.........technically speaking, he is Soundwave. Just underwent massive reconstruction post mauling injuries from Blaster.

I concur, the keys are indeed different, the original buttons of Soundwave were changed to the ones of Sound blaster.

Another fact I just discovered..........................remember the homonculi pattern on Ravage and Buzz saw? The label that replaced the simulated magnetic tape? Well, if you use the classic red decoder on the pattern, it is supposed to indicate the "weak spot" of Fortress maximus.
