Soundwave – He’s one of the few G1 Decepticon’s that didn’t disappoint Megatron and with this news he won’t disappoint his toy collecting fans either:

One of the most recognizable characters from the TRANSFORMERS brand lore, SOUNDWAVE is making a retro-comeback for San Diego Comic-Con in honor of the brand’s 25th Anniversary. Hasbro is re-releasing the original 1984 edition of the figure that will include four of the SOUNDWAVE character’s cassettes, two of which have not been released since the 80’s. The cassette characters include BUZZSAW, LASERBEAK, RATBAT and RAVAGE. The four figures fully convert between robot and cassette mode and fit into SOUNDWAVE when in cassette mode.

Soundwave rocks! Even at $49.99 and with cassette recorders being a little outdated, I’d still like to get this cool looking, classic Transformer. I never had the original, it was my lucky brother that got him. It’s too bad that the toy doesn’t generate energon cubes or that Frenzy isn’t included.
