Toys
Generation 1
- Soundblaster (Decepticon, 1987)
- Japanese ID number: D-101
- Accessories: Buzzsaw, tape case, rocket launcher, 3 rockets, "concussion blaster"
- Soundblaster was repurposed from the Soundblaster toy, which was intended as a new incarnation of Soundwave. As part of the Japanese Headmasters series, Soundwave was redecoed in a new black and red color scheme, and his chest door was retooled so that he could now hold two cassettes at once. Soundblaster came packaged with Buzzsaw, who now sported a new sticker which would reveal the weak spot of Fortress Maximus when placed behind Soundblaster's translucent red chest door, in the same manner that Tech Specs decoders worked. The figure's stickers, however, retain Soundwave's blue coloration instead of being changed to work with Soundblaster's black.
Transform Jr
- Soundblaster (Jr, 1987)
- Japanese ID number: D-101
- Accessories: Cassette, launcher, 2 missiles
- Just as his larger toy was, Jr Soundwave was redecoed and retooled to become Soundblaster the following year, sporting a black coloration and an enlarged chest door (though the door itself remains colorless, lacking the distinctive red tint of the large Soundblaster figure). Soundblaster retains all of Soundwave's accessories and features; the sticker for his non-transformable cassette partner remains the same, looking a lot like Rumble despite Soundblaster's package art now showing Buzzsaw.
Transformers Collection
- Soundblaster (2005)
- Japanese ID number: TFC-18
- Accessories: Ravage, Buzzsaw, 2 tape cases, rocket launcher, 3 rockets, "concussion blaster"
- Not ones to waste the opportunity now that they had the mold back in action, Takara also reissued Soundblaster as part of the Transformers Collection, sweetening the deal by including not just his original partner Buzzsaw, but also the first reissue of Ravage. Despite the opportunity, they didn't change the color of Soundblaster's stickers from Soundwave-blue to black.
Titanium Series
- Soundblaster (6" Cybertron Heroes, unreleased)
- Accessories: Ravage, rocket launcher, "concussion blaster", display base
- A planned redeco of Titanium Soundwave in his black and red Soundblaster colors, this toy would have come with a new Titanium version of Ravage instead of Laserbeak. Although displayed at BotCon 2007, Soundblaster was ultimately canceled along with many other solicited 6" Cybertron Heroes, but this did not stop him from appearing as a cross-sell on the packaging for Titanium Prowl in late 2008 (which claimed he would have been "also available" as of November 2008), as Hasbro was unwilling to spend the resources on altering the packaging for these already-complete products.
 Proceed on your way to oblivion. |
Encore
- Soundblaster (2012)
- Japanese ID number: 21
- Accessories: "Enemy", "Wingthing", tape case, rocket launcher, 3 rockets, "concussion blaster"
- Soundblaster was available again as part of TakaraTomy's Transformers Encore series of reissues. This release includes two new cassette partners: Enemy and Wingthing.
- For this release Soundblaster features additional silver paint on his face plate and sides of his head, red metallic eyes instead of yellow, and the removal of the silver paint on his crest in an effort for animation accuracy. In addition he has a large Decepticon logo tampographed on his chest. All the label stickers from the previous releases of Soundblaster have been reproduced via tampographs as well, with the exception of the stickers for his weapons which come preapplied. The coloration of the blue labels has also been altered to replace some of the blue (but not all) with black.
